==Survivor==
Margaret was placed on the Nakúm tribe and was originally viewed as the "Camp Nurse" after tending to many of the men who had a hard time recovering from the 11-mile hike. Margaret voted with the rest of the tribe to eliminate Jim Lynch and then won the next two Immunity Challenges. A tribal swap occurred, and Margaret remained on Nakúm with former tribemates Cindy Hall, Judd Sergeant, and Brooke Struck. On the new Nakúm tribe, the numbers were tied at 4-4 between the former Yaxhá and Nakúm members.
Margaret urged Brooke, Cindy, and Judd to stay with Nakúm during the tribe's first Tribal Council, but Judd flipped and voted with the former Yaxhá, angering Margaret. She felt betrayed by Judd and often got into many confrontations with him. In a double Tribal Council twist, Nakúm was sent to Tribal Council again. Margaret and Judd continued to bicker, mostly surrounding Judd's hyperactivity and problems with recall. However, Judd's alliance pulled through for him and Margaret was voted out unanimously.
