Survivor: Guatemala

"Survivor: Guatemala -- The Maya Empire," the 11th installment of the hit CBS adventure series, premiered Thursday, Sept. 15. Amid the triple-digit heat, crocodile infested waters, relentless mosquitoes and terrifying sounds of the howler monkeys, the 18 castaways competed for the $1 million prize and title of "Ultimate Survivor." The game began with a grueling 11-mile hike through the jungle.
