The Guatemala champ talks about returning 29 seasons later.

But so much has changed since then.

We asked her out in Fiji before the game began.

I still was traveling around, I worked with ESPN doing a fantasy football show.

you’re free to hardly raise a tribe all over the country.

So that’s when I went back to Kansas City, made it our home.

I started my own company, which is a game day apparel line called Sideline Chic.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen you.

I remember I kept asking “When are we going to see Danni Boatwright on this show again?

But I also really wasn’t too interested in playing unless it was a winners season.

Of course, we don’t know that information when they ask you if you’re interested in playing.

But I was kind of thinking that that might be happening at this point when they called.

So, I took my chances and it looks like I might be right.

It’s been a while since you last played.

Like, I’m still that same person.

My values haven’t changed.

So, I’ve had some practice there.

Then, just in being married, marriage is a lot of work.

Yeah, a lot of negotiation.Lotsof negotiation.

I’m not very good at that, dang it.

Fiji is a far cry from where you were in Guatemala.

You’ve got to be happy about that.Oh, right, what were they thinking?!?

What were they thinking going to Guatemala?

I was surrounded by some really great people though.

We had a wonderful cast.

I mean, I lost 30 pounds.

So, at 5'10” I came home 96 pounds.

First of all, were you starstruck by anyone?

To me, I think of her and Richard asSurvivor.

People ask you what your strategy is going to be.

That’s going to have to change.

I think Sandra’s somebody you could work with, but we know Sandra: She doesn’t care.

She could get rid of you in her life if she needs to.

You were here 29 seasons ago.

The game has changed a lot.

They know how it’s done, they know how to do it.

I may have to kind of follow them, watch where they go, where are they looking.

like do that.I will!

I’m going to learn.

But yeah, so that’s changed a lot.

Our season there was the one idol and I think only Gary and I went looking for it.

But at least I’m up to date because I’ve watched it.

I just haven’t played with it like that.

How do you think other people see you?

You have your impressions of them, right?

Because people have no idea Brian from my season said, “You were sneaky.

You were really sneaky.”

I had time to break an alliance, which I did.

What’s your biggest weakness?

I mean you’re a pretty well-rounded player, but do you have a weakness?Puzzles.

Like, my eight-year-old beats me at puzzles.

So I don’t know how much I’ve improved.

It’s just because I’ve never had a passion for them.

Well, there’s only so much you’re able to do.

I’m a busy mom.

Right, you’ve got that going on too.I’m at the ballpark literally doing stuff.

People give a shot to come and talk to me, I’m like “Not now!”

At least I kind of know what to expect after playing the game before.

I was terrified going intoGuatemala, especially when I got off the plane and heard the howler monkeys.

I was like, “Whoa, what is this?”
