The story

Cindy Hall, a Kentucky zookeeper, made Survivor history in Guatemala — and not the way she wanted. After winning a car in a reward challenge, she was offered the chance to hand cars to the entire rest of the cast, lifting the dreaded 'car curse.'

She kept hers. True to the curse, Cindy was voted out soon after, in fifth — the moment that cemented one of Survivor's most enduring superstitions.
