Rafe Judkins, Another Ivy League Student on Survivor Guatemala
Survivor Guatemala features not one but two Ivy League students.  Both Brian Corridan and Rafe Judkins are listed as being Ivy League students on the official CBS website.  Rafe Judkins studied biology and anthropology at Brown University.

In addition to being an Ivy League Student, Rafe Judkins is also a gay Mormon.  According to his CBS bio, Rafe “was raised in a huge Mormon family that included more than 60 first cousins.”  Rafe’s mother is an artist and his father is an inventor. 

Rafe’s brother Landon has started a website that contains pictures and information about Rafe.  According to LandonJunkins.net, Rafe currently lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with his family but wants to move to Los Angeles to become a screenwriter.  There are also pictures of Rafe with his boyfriend Stephen.

Much of Rafe’s background also suggests that he will be a natural fit for the game of Survivor.  According to Rafe’s CBS bio, Rafe was selected as the senior class member most likely to be on Survivor in high school.  Rafe is also an experienced traveler, having been to all fifty states and fourteen different countries.  LandonJunkins.net reports that during college, Rafe became involved with BOLT (Brown Outdoor Leadership Training).  Rafe also founded a cooking class for students at Brown.  Having experience living in the wilderness and preparing food are two skills that could take Rafe far into the game of Survivor.

Gary Hogeboom, A Former NFL Quarterback on Survivor Guatemala
For years there have been rumors of a celebrity version of Survivor.  However, for whatever reason, a celebrity version of Survivor has never materialized.  Perhaps, there aren’t enough celebrities willing to go through the rigors of living in a harsh environment with limited food and water for 39 days.  For Survivor Guatemala, there is at least one celebrity who has stepped up to the plate to take the challenge.

While Gary Hogeboom has been out of the limelight for awhile, he was at one time a NFL quarterback.  Gary is probably most famous for the six years that he played for the Dallas Cowboys, but he also spent three years with the Indianapolis Colts and a year each with the Phoenix Cardinals and the Washington Redskins.  It will be interesting to see if the other castaways recognize him and how they react to him.  Fellow contestant Danni Boatwright works as a sports radio talk show host, so one would suspect that at least she would recognize Gary Hogeboom.

According to The Football Database, Gary Hogeboom was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the 5th round of the 1980 NFL draft.  During his NFL career, Gary through more interceptions (60) than he did touchdowns (49).   

According to the CBS website, Gary Hogeboom now works as real estate developer and landscaper in Grand Haven, Michigan.  Gary also serves as a volunteer coach for high school football, basketball, tennis, and soccer.  Even though Gary is one of the older contestants at 47, his years in the NFL will probably give him an advantage in withstanding the rigors of Survivor life.

Margaret Bobonich, A Nurse on Survivor Guatemala
At 43 years in age, Margaret Bobonich is one of the oldest contestants on Survivor Guatemala.  However, she is also likely to be one of the most athletic contestants on Survivor Guatemala.  According to CBS.com, Margaret like golf, snow skiing, and scuba diving.  Margaret also like attending athletic events and taking adventure vacations with her family. 

According to CBS.com, Margaret Bobonich is employed as a family nurse practitioner.  Margaret studied nursing at the University of Charleston and West Virginia University.  Margaret received her master’s degree in nursing from Case Western Reserve University.  Margaret currently works at the Lake County Free Medical Clinic of Northeast Ohio, where she provides health care to those that could not otherwise afford it.

Margaret Bobonich grew up in a large family that included eight children.  Being use to living with a large group of people could aid Margaret in adapting to life with the other members of her tribe.  Margaret’s strength, medical knowledge, and social skills could make here a strong contender for the title of ultimate Survivor.

Cindy Hall, A Zoo Keeper on Survivor Guatemala
Survivor Guatemala The Maya Empire is rumored to be one of the most challenging environments ever for the Survivor castaways.  Early teasers for Survivor Guatemala refer to “crocodile infested waters, relentless mosquitoes and terrifying sounds of the howler monkeys.”  Cindy Hall might have an advantage over the other castaways in adapting to being surrounded by wild animals since her occupation is listed on the official CBS site as a Zoo Keeper.

According to The News-Press, Cindy Hall worked at the Naples Zoo at Caribbean Gardens.  The News-Press also interviewed some employees at the zoo that revealed Cindy cleaned cages, worked with animals, and was part of the zoo’s daily animal shows.  In regards to her physical fitness, one employee stated that she was “once mistaken for a body builder.”

Maysville-Online.com talked to Cindy’s mother, who called her a “jungle girl.”  Maysville-Online.com also mentions that Cindy use to canoe to work.  This experience should come in quite handy considering Survivor usually includes a challenge or two that involves boating.

Another interesting fact about Cindy Hall is that she has an identical twin sister named Mindy.  There are in fact three Survivor castaways that have identical twins, which has led many fans to wonder if there could be a twin twist on Survivor Guatemala.
