Talking with T-Bird: Danni Boatwright

For everyone who wanted more T-Bird in the Survivor off-season, your wish has been granted as we once again start up the series “Talking with T-Bird.” Each episode, Rob Cesternino (@robcesternino) and Survivor: Africa‘s Teresa “T-Bird” Cooper (@tbirdcooper) will catch up with a former Survivor player and talk about anything and take listener questions. In the forty-first episode of “Talking with T-Bird”, Rob and T-Bird’s guest is none other than Danni Boatwright.

Rob and T-Bird speak with Danni Boatwright, a two-time castaway from Survivor: Guatemala and Survivor: Winners at War. On Survivor: Guatemala, the eleventh season, Danni started out on the yellow Nakum tribe, where she made good relationships with those on her tribe before being swapped over to the blue Yaxha tribe on day 9, where she continued making strong relationships. Despite her alliance being down 6-4 at the merge and her alliance members being picked off one-by-one, she won an Immunity Challenge Advantage from the Survivor Auction, which allowed her to win Immunity when she needed it most, and to ingratiate herself with members of the opposing Nakum Alliance. Danni became known as the “stealth bomber” for her under-the-radar gameplay, which helped her get the win over Stephenie LaGrossa-Kendrick at the Final Tribal Council in a 6-1 vote.

Several years later, Danni returned for Survivor: Winners at War, the show’s monumental fortieth season, featuring solely victorious castaways. She was placed on the blue Sele tribe and after being on the right side of the numbers to vote out Natalie Anderson first, she struggled to adapt to the fast gameplay and paranoia led her to try to make a move against Parvati Shallow, which failed and led to her unanimous vote-out on day 6 as the third person voted out. She stayed on the Edge of Extinction the entire time, failing both re-entry challenges, and ultimately coming in nineteenth place.
