Gillian Habersberger

**Gillian Habersberger** is a contestant from *Zovivor: Yap*.

Although she initially feared being left out on the Rumung tribe due to her age, she was brought into the majority by Tristan Rainey. However, her strategic input was often disregarded by the rest of her alliance, leading her to flip against them at the merge to eliminate Torrance Butler and Aadi Madhwesh immediately. This tanked her reputation among both tribes as a flipper and wishy-washy player, but she was brought into a new alliance by Melissa Schultz, who viewed her as a possible goat to bring to the end. As the game went on, though, Gillian's perception began to rise again, and by the final 3, she was a serious contender to win. Ultimately, Melissa won the final immunity challenge and chose to cut Gillian, ending her dynamic game one round before the end.

## Survivor

Mick was the leader of the Foa Foa tribe, but he received lots of criticism since his tribe was fairly unsuccessful. At first Mick wanted to keep the tribe strong and vote off Ashley Trainer, but after Marisa Calihan was the first voted off instead, Mick just went with everyone else in all subsequent votes. When tribes merged and Mick was one of the last 4 remaining Foa Foa members, he and the other Foa Foa's made an alliance and would then try to eliminate all the other former members of Galu by staying united and disunifying Galu. And that plan worked, but little to no thanks to Mick, as it was mostly Natalie White and Russell Hantz that got everything to fall into place for Foa Foa. However, Mick did win the Immunity Challenge in Template:Ep, which was key in getting Laura Morett eliminated. Mick would receive his first vote against him from John Fincher on Day 30. Mick would then receive a vote from Shambo Waters on Day 36, Jaison Robinson on Day 37, and Brett Clouser on Day 38, but each of those players would be voted off those same Tribal Councils, and Mick would eventually make it to the end.

Although Russell got some praise for at least playing the game (albeit rather harshly) and Natalie got some praise for being very kind and making friendships with the jury, Mick was pretty much ignored since he didn't do too much and he was considered a poor tribe leader for Foa Foa (despite the fact that all but one of the jury members were ironically from the opposing tribe). Shambo referred to his gameplay as feckless to which Mick replied he did not understand the word, while Erik Cardona told Mick that he did not do anything to prove himself worthy of the title of leader, was responsible for Foa Foa's lack of guts, and he referred to him as having a delusional sense of false entitlement. Mick received 0 jury votes and finished the game in 3rd place. He lost to Russell who was the runner-up with two votes, and Natalie who won with seven votes.
