Came across this while searching for the pictures.
IT'S A BOY FOR DANNI BOATWRIGHTOctober 08, 2007Former CelebTV.com host and Survivor winner Danni Boatwright welcomed a baby boy Monday morning. Her husband and the father of the new bundle of joy is Kansas City Chief player Casey Wiegmann. The baby was born at 8 lbs. and 10 oz.

Outcasts, Bottle Twist, Haves / Have-nots were the three worst twists BY FAR. Random tribal swaps and/or pick 'ems are usually okay, except for China, which was unfair to the strong guys, and ASS, which had the swap that unfairly evened up the two tribes. Double tribal councils are okay only if the two tribes compete in a RC (a la Palau). Winning a challenge and then having to choose between TC and
keeping your camp (in Fiji) was a friggin' joke.

I know everything Borneo is classic, but I favoured rivalries that run through large segments of the game rather than just exploding nastily at the end. You
will not see Helen vs Brian on this list at all, since they only became enemies when she was booted.
No Survivor twists comes close to being as unfair as the America's Player twist of BB8, especially when combined with biased po-Donato editing and diary room manipulation.

All the Jen vs Dick controversy is clearly the sign of a good rivalry.

I think at this point, she's tied as my favorite winner with Sandra, and she's in my Top 10 fav survivors of all time. Correction though...Danni made a F2 alliance with Rafe, which she always intended to break. Danni owning Guatemala <3 |

Craig, please fill me in on the soooo unfair, unbalanced twist in Guatemala? Nakum remained a tribe of 8 and Yaxha a tribe of 7. No one got more numbers like
in Allstars where it was ridiculous that Jenna Lewis got spared from the boot she'd have gotten if it stayed 6 Chapera and 4 Mogo Mogo. The dynamics were
interesting in that crosstribal alliances were made in BOTH new tribes. And you got to see the struggle in both tribes trying to battle Queen Stephenie, and
the destruction of the Nakum power core and the destruction of the new Yaxha tribe. It set up for an interesting endgame where if someone that wasn't
boring, like Amy or Bobby Jon or Brian from the new Yaxha tribe had been the survivor instead of Danni, the game would have been more exciting. The storyline
if you look at it as just person A, B, C, etc, it's fantastic, like the Vanuatu endgame. Just the winner sucked.
So don't be hating on the Guatemala twist. Take that away and Judd could have left Nakum early and Blake could have made it farther, meaning no Nakum overthrow of power and no rise to power of Queen Stephenie and her fall from power. |

Jenna L wouldn't be booted, it would've been Alicia giving that she had no alliances with anyone, just that she was on a strong tribe. |

The Guatemala twist had the worst timing in terms of episodes - late enough that tribal lines were pretty solid, but early enough that there was time for
wholesale pagoning on both new tribes. We were unlucky in that great potential characters and\or deserving players like Brooke, Margaret, Brian, and Ami got
pagonged, and we ended up with two pretty solid alliances merging anyway. It was silly how Brian got placed in a minority situation simply because he was voted
the eprson with most tribe spitit by his tribemates.
Ironically the powershift was orchestated by Danni and two players she'd never met premerge, Rafe and Steph. Yes Judd and the Axis of Evil alliance were entertaining, but the opposition was a bit too bland and\or a bit too religious for my liking. In short, it was a season that was promising at the beginning was almost ruined by how the merge worked out, and then freom merge on had almost the best possible outcome. |

I really think of the F10 twist of All-stars kept the numbers, Jenna L. gets booted. The tribes break down as Alicia/Rob M/Rupert/Tom vs. Amber/Jenna
L./Jerri/Kathy/Lex/Shii-Ann. And then in the IC, the MM's can just sit out Amber/Jenna L. and toss the challenge to get her out of the game. They boot her
to spare Amber and gain favor with Rob. Duh!

Um, do you know how "random" works? With an extra Chapera buff in there, there's no way to know if Jenna would have gotten it.
