Upon learning that Bobby Jon Drinkard was going to be on her tribe, Cindy Hall was pleased because of Bobby Jon's reputation. Cindy began the game on the Nakum tribe, where she was one of the stronger women of the tribe who helped to tend to the men after the 11 mile hike through the jungle. Cindy was very strong in challenges, and skated to the tribal swap, where she remained on Nakúm with Brooke Struck, Judd Sergeant, and Margaret Bobonich, while four original Yaxha members came over as well. Cindy voted with her former tribe at the new Nakúm tribe's first Tribal Council, but Judd flipped and eliminated Brooke.
Cindy was now at the bottom of her tribe, but managed to lay low and let Margaret take the heat for arguing with Judd nonstop. Nakúm came into the merge with numbers over Yaxhá, and it looked like it would be a smooth ride to the final six. Cindy remained unnoticed and un-targeted by the merged Xhakum tribe. The first hiccup in her ride occurred when her alliance wanted to vote out Jamie Newton instead of Gary Hogeboom, a rival tribe member. Judd was not told of the plan, and felt uneasy towards his alliance.
Later, Cindy was shocked when Judd was blindsided by her alliance, but she did not know about it. Seeing a pattern with Jamie's and Judd's blindsides, Cindy feared she was next. At the final five Reward Challenge, Cindy won a Pontiac Torrent, but was given the option to relinquish her own car to allow the other four remaining competitors, Danni Boatwright, Stephenie LaGrossa, Rafe Judkins, and Lydia Morales to each have one. After a tough decision, Cindy decided to keep the car for herself. She did not believe in the Car Curse and also thought that giving the four people a car would not make them give her one million dollars.
Rafe and Danni believed that she should have given up the car, but Stephenie and Lydia thought she made the right decision. Despite this and her close relationship with Rafe, Cindy's prediction came true and she was voted out of the tribe in fifth place.
At Final Tribal Council, Cindy asked both finalists which juror they would remove. Danni said Rafe because he surely would vote for Stephenie. Stephenie faltered, struggling to answer. Eventually she said Bobby Jon because he was the first member of the jury. Because Danni answered confidently and justified her answer, Cindy gave her jury vote to Danni.
