Retired Fire Captain Jim of the Nakum tribe was the first to be voted out of the Mayan ruins, leaving a relatively young cast left to survive in the jungles of Guatemala.
Bodog has your odds on who they think will win the cool million, and Jocelyn and Kari have their own picks on who may to all the way! We give you the pros and cons of all the Survivors!
Lydia (20/1): She's lived all over the world as a military brat, which could bring some wisdom to the Yaxha tribe. But her need to avoid conflict could end up backfiring on her if there is tension after a bad challenge or a difficult voting meeting.
Blake (15/1): While he's a down home Texas boy at heart, will his model good looks get him through to the end? If he doesn't have the physicality to match his internal drive to win, he could be voted off by his Nakum tribe quicker than he thinks.
Margaret (15/1): In the first episode, she nursed all of the dehydrated Nakum boys back to health. But her skills as a nurse may not be as useful down the road when the teams dwindle closer to the winner, and if she can't step up to the plate this season, those helpful hands won't matter.
Jamie (10/1): He's an active California boy who's considering an acting career. Is he just looking for fame or is he really up to the challenge to win $1 million? The Yaxha tribe could just as well drop him if he sits by waiting for everyone else to be voted off.
Click to bet on Lydia, Blake, Margaret or Jamie.Judd (10/1): Out of all the Nakum men to suffer during that 11-mile hike, Judd recovered the quickest, even though he doesn't have the same muscular build as the other guys. Will that help him down the line, or will his friendly Jersey personality just drive everyone nuts?
Bobby (10/1): He's one of the two former Survivors to join the show, so he knows how the competition works. However, his last journey into the unknown landed him in the loser's chair. Can he turn it around for his fellow Nakum tribe?
Brianna (7/1): She says she loves challenges, but will the ruins of Guatemala be too much for this makeup artist? Is there a winning strategy behind her friendliness? Will the Yaxha tribe jump on that and vote her out early?
Morgan (7/1): As a professional dancer, does she have both the agility and the drive to outlast the rest of the Yaxha tribe? She may just have the cunning to be able to act sweet to her fellow tribe members, and sneak her way to the million.
Click to bet on Judd, Bobby, Brianna or Morgan.Brooke (7/1): She's learned resilience from an early age when her father passed away and she had to help her mother run a farm in Oregon. She also has the smarts to think quick on her feet, and has lived overseas before. Is it possible that she could annoy the rest of the Nakum tribe?
Brandon (5/1): He's also a farmer, he's from Kansas, well-built and ready for anything. But, he's not the sharpest stick in the jungle. Is he playing dumb, or will his strength drive the Nakum tribe towards victory?
Cindy (4/1): She's a zookeeper, so the animals in the jungle won't bother her as much. Could she turn that into an advantage? But if her mouth ends up getting the best of her, the Nakum tribe could boot her quickly.
Rafe (4/1): This wilderness guide has the skills to survive in new environments, but could his quirky upbringing drive the Yaxha tribe bonkers? His experience in worldly travel could be a big advantage in his favor.
Click to bet on Brooke, Brandon, Cindy or Rafe.Amy (4/1): She knows she has the leadership skills to drive the Yaxha tribe forward, but could that clash with her team? Despite her physical prowess as a police officer, her drive to be the boss out of a sense of entitlement could put her torch out early.
Stephenie (3/1): The other Survivor alum to join this season, she could become the leader of the Yaxha tribe after being the only one to survive her team last season. Will she outdo herself this time around and drive her tribe to vote her off?
Brian (3/1): His theory is to use his knowledge of psychology and observations of his fellow players to outwit them. But, if he can't do the physical challenges, the Yaxha tribe will outsmart him first, and extinguish his torch.
Danni (2/1): Another model Survivor, she does a lot of talking about sports in her day job, but does she have the ability to last physically, and let her hotness keep her torch burning? She's proven early that she's a help to the Nakum tribe, which she can turn into a $1 in the end.
Gary (2/1): This ex-pro football quarterback won't reveal his real name to the rest of his Yaxha tribe. What else could be he hiding? Now the oldest member of all the contestants, he's being looked to as a leader. Does he have the stamina to get the mil?
Click to bet on Amy, Stephenie, Brian, Danni or Gary.Kari likes Gary for the million. He's got the leadership skills as a pro quarterback, and is smart enough not to let his name work against him. He may be reaching towards 50, but he's taken enough tackles to take it to a million bucks. And he's skilled at the mind games from the get-go, which could be a big plus in this season.
Jocelyn says: If anybody other than Tom Westman had won last season, I’d be behind Gary too. I just think the tribe will soon be threatened by him and there aren’t enough people who will feel they need him in an alliance on Yaxha. Stephenie will have a target on her right after the merge and is going home unless she can form a tight alliance, and none of the hot chicks have proven to me that they’re smart enough to leverage their hotness. My early money is on Brian. He reminds me of a young Richard Hatch with good looks to help him along.
