Yikes! I've never seen so many wimpy men! LOL Awww...poor babies. I was really worried about Bobby Jon for a minute there - that was scary.

I heard an interview with Probst this morning on DC101 in Washington
Continuously hyped how Guatemala would be the hardest yet- 4 guys on their backs, puking in the first episode. Vanuatu and Palau were nothing compared to this. No beaches, very hot, only a lake filled with crocodiles. It was also quite tough for the crew, who have gotten used to hotels for the past few seasons.

Gary Hogeboom decided to lie about his past and say he in real estate or landscaping. He made up the alias Hawkins or something like that. Danni is a sports nut and she apparently thought, "Is that Gary Hogeboom?" His strategy if anyone recognized him was to say, "Oh, I get that all the time." He didn't tell Jeff that he planned on using the alias, but a producer told him early on so Jeff wouldn't accidentally slip.
Only one other player has lied about his name on Survivor. Minutes before Africa started, a contestant named Chip pulled Jeff aside and said he wished to be known as Silas.
Danni is sharp, but Jeff was unaware of her pageant experience. He thinks she was never really a big pageant girl.
Jeff took a big pay cut from Access Hollywood to appear in the first Survivor, to about $100k. CBS knew if he didn't want it, someone else would, and they called it a potential star-making move.
A sucks poster was in on a conference call later today.
Jeff said he almost accidentally outted Gary at a challenge. He characterized Danni's recognition of Gary as instantaneous
