SURVIVOR: GUATEMALA -- THE MAYA EMPIRE

The 11th installment of the groundbreaking SURVIVOR series takes place amid the Maya ruins of Guatemala, where a group of Americans will be stranded many miles from civilization to vie for the title of Ultimate Survivor and win $1 million.  A diverse group of individuals with varying backgrounds and geographic origins are split into two teams, each of which must work to find food, water and shelter in order to exist.  SURVIVOR: GUATEMALA -- THE MAYA EMPIRE chronicles the relationships and conflicts that develop as strangers test their limits in various challenging situations, which force them to rely on one another to survive while remaining aware that they must eliminate one another to become the Ultimate Survivor.  At the conclusion of each episode, the participants form a tribal council and conduct a secret-ballot vote to expel one of their colleagues from the tribe.  Once the competition is narrowed to two finalists, the ultimate $1 million winner will be selected by a panel of the seven previously expelled participants.

                                                                        SURVIVOR begins its 11th installment on the CBS Television Network in the fall.
