“She won Guatemala, but will she be a sports broadcasting Survivor?” by Kevin Anderson. Volume 8, Issue 38, Page 38.

I chose this article because since the first season I have always been a fan of the CBS television show “Survivor.” Danni Boatwright a former beauty queen and most recent million-dollar winner of “Survivor: Guatemala, has her sights set on sports announcing.

Danni is no stranger to the world of sports; prior to “Survivor,” she was the co-host of a sports talk show on the radio. Attempting to ride off her beauty queen looks and her exposure on “Survivor,” Danni would like nothing more than to continue her career in front of the camera, in the form of a TV sports announcer. The irony to this story is that even though several offers have come her way, the strict two-year contract that she signed with CBS to establish herself on “Survivor” is the one thing holding her back. Due to the contract, she must get CBS’s permission to entertain any offers while under their contract. Although several of her offers have been denied because of her CBS contract, CBS has expressed no interest in hiring her for CBS Sports. CBS’s spokeswoman stressed, “all hiring is very competitive and that if she does end up working at CBS, it’s a ‘process that would take sometime.’”

Competition is the one thing that Danni Boatwright has a lot of experience. She was the second runner-up for Miss Teen USA in 1992, first runner-up for Miss USA in 1996, and most recently the one million dollar winner on CBS’s “Survivor.” If competition is the only thing that stands between her and her dream of becoming a sports caster, Danni Boatwright should have a legitimate chance of once again obtaining her dream.
