Cindy Hall was a contestant on Survivor: Guatemala. She is 31 years old and works as a zookeeper. She has an identical twin sister named Mindy.... Cindy was on the Nakum tribe and was one of the four original Nakum members to remain on the tribe after a Tribal shuffle in episode 4. In her case, it was because the tribe voted her as having the most team spirit. Cindy was a hard worker around camp, strong in challenges and loved to talk about animal. She also seemed to have more common sense than some of the others. For example, when Brandon Bellinger and Bobby Jon Drinkard wanted to go swimming with the crocodile and the rest of the tribe followed, she sat safely out. She occasionally butted heads with Judd Sergeant who complained about her blabbering about animals, but unlike Margaret, she doesn't take Judd's bullying personally. In episode four, Cindy joined an alliance with Margaret Bobonich and Brooke Struck. The group was planning on voting out Lydia Morales, but because of Judd joining Stephenie LaGrossa, Rafe Judkins, Jamie Newton and Lydia, Brooke was voted off instead.
