**Mackenzie "Kenzie" Haas** was a contestant on Survivor: Fans vs. Favorites: Revenge of the Fallen.

Known primarily for her decision to stick to Corey for a majority of the game, as her incident of almost quitting being used by her main ally during the entirety of the merge phase, Kenzie would play very silently while always attempting to make sure she was in the majority. This strategy would backfire on her, as the majority started to turn against her right against the end, and her fate would be sealed at the *Final 4 Passage Challenge*.

## Survivor: Fans vs. Favorites: Revenge of the Fallen

When the group of Fans were told that one of them would be voted out in the *First Impressions Vote*, Kenzie was at risk super early on due to being seen as a liability in challenges. Fortunately for her, she would not be out of the game, and instead she would be given an option in private on whether to giver her tribe an advantage in the next challenge or whether to get herself an advantage in the form of a clue to a hidden advantage in the game. Seeing an opportunity to better her position in the tribe, Kenzie chose to give an advantage to her tribe. However, she would get a surprise when she found out that not everyone in the group of Fans were on her tribe, but only some of them, and she would be thrown onto Tribe Cochran alongside some of the game's biggest names. This would be a blessing in disguise for her, as her tribe would win the first immunity challenge of the season. At camp, Kenzie would take time to bond with Maggie and would solidify an alliance with Corey, seeing him as the leader of their tribe and wanting to keep herself on good terms with him in hopes that she would be safer on her tribe. She would then be let in by Richie on a plan to oust Darius if they lost the next immunity challenge due to his dominant performance in *Survivor: Twist Manor*. Kenzie would have luck on her side yet again as Tribe Cochran would win the next immunity challenge, and she would not have to worry about having to go to the dreaded tribal council.

The game would be given a shake, and Kenzie would find herself on the new third tribe, Tribe Vlachos, alongside Corey, Maggie, and Richie. With her efforts in the challenge, Tribe Vlachos would win the next immunity challenge, and she would be safe yet again. At camp, her ally, Maggie, would unintentionally help Richie find a hidden immunity idol, and Kenzie would help to form a plan with Corey and Maggie to take Richie out if they lost the next immunity challenge. Kenzie would then express a desire to leave the game, stating that she was too exhausted on a physical level to compete in the game and wanted out. While Corey and Maggie were content with this, Richie would attempt to convince her to stay in the game to help them in challenges, and she agreed to stay. Before the next immunity challenge, Kenzie would be let in on Corey's plan to throw the challenge in hopes of getting Richie out. However, this would not occur, as Tribe Parvati would not perform well, and they would once again win very easily and Kenzie would be safe. At camp, Kenzie would be included in on a plan devised by Richie for him to use the idol once they all made the merge in hopes of using it to get a bigger threat out of the game so they would be able to stick together longer.

The game would take another turn, and Kenzie and Corey would be thrown onto the new Tribe Parvati alongside Adam, Darius, and Sam. At the next immunity challenge, Kenzie and Adam would ultimately lead their tribe to success, keeping herself safe from elimination for another round. At camp, she and Corey would form a plan to take Darius out if they had another challenge and tribal council before the upcoming merge, and they would attempt to bond with Sam in hopes of expanding their alliance.

Kenzie's efforts at bonding with people would come in handy, as the merge would present her many opportunities. After Richie won the first individual immunity challenge of the season, Kenzie would help Corey and Cole to campaign for Michael's elimination, seeing that he was one of their biggest obstacles on their journey to reach the end together. However, some people would start to take notice at how strongly she was standing with Corey in his game, as she refused to speak with Maggie and Ness about a plan that would save Michael and eliminate Darius. At tribal council, Kenzie would help to blindside Michael out of the game in a 7-3 vote. After Adam won individual immunity, Kenzie would be let in on a plan to oust Darius, and this time, she would take advantage of this opportunity. At tribal council, Darius would be eliminated, and Kenzie would continue to climb over her opponents in the game, despite her name being thrown out there as an option for Darius and Adam to put down.

At the *Survivor Whitewater Auction*, Kenzie would not purchase anything, but she would gain valuable information from others who did make big purchases. She would find out soon after Corey won individual immunity that Richie had gained a clue to an *Idol Nullifier* that he had successfully found in the last individual immunity challenge and that he planned to use it on whoever they wanted to target next in hopes of getting her trust. Kenzie would then find out that Ness had purchased a *Steal-A-Vote* Advantage, of which she knew would be a concern for the endgame. However, she knew the real target was Adam, who was steadily gaining steam on everyone in the game in hopes that he would be able to win. Kenzie would not let this happen, and at tribal council she would help to take him out with the aide of Richie's *Idol Nullifier*. After losing the next individual immunity challenge to Maggie, Kenzie and Corey would begin to consider taking Richie out soon, seeing him as a major endgame threat if he made it to the Final Tribal Council. However, they both also knew that Ness would be an even bigger threat with her advantage going into the endgame, and they would choose to take her out at tribal council as Kenzie continued to rack up votes from people as she was being used by Corey as a placeholder for their opposition on the offchance they had a hidden immunity idol.

Her path was set, take Richie out, then Sam and Cole, and then she and Corey would make it to the Final Tribal Council. However, her plans would be ruined once Richie won the next individual immunity challenge, unintentionally sending their entire camp into chaos. Right after they returned to camp, Richie would approach Kenzie and Cole about a plan to get rid of Corey, seeing him as the biggest threat left in the game. However, Kenzie would stand firmly in her position of not wanting to get rid of Corey, but wanting to get rid of Sam; and Cole would quickly agree with her. Kenzie would then immediately let Corey know that he was being targeted by Richie in hopes of ensuring his safety in the game. Together, Corey and Kenzie would ensure that Cole and Maggie would stick to the plan and get rid of Sam. However, Richie and Sam would further mess up Kenzie's plans as their votes, alongside Sam's *Voodoo Idol* play, would send Cole out of the game for a second time within the season, and all of this after Corey would waste his hidden immunity idol on himself.

In a scramble and wanting to save what was left of their plans, Corey and Kenzie would work hard in the next individual immunity challenge, all of this helping her ally, Corey, to win individual immunity once again. Kenzie would be approached by Sam, who wanted to take Richie out as they had intended to on multiple occasions prior in the season to avoid him getting to the Final Tribal Council and getting a lot of jury votes. Richie would promptly approach her later on and would attempt to convince her, Maggie, and Corey to save him and keep their Tribe Vlachos "Alliance" true to the Final 4. At tribal council, Kenzie would still be unsure of whether or not any hidden immunity idols would be in play, and she would cast her vote for Richie. This would not be successful, as he would be saved by Corey and Maggie, thus, leading to Sam's elimination. After losing the Final Individual Immunity Challenge to Richie, Kenzie was put on the hotseat as Corey told her immediately that he would be targeting her to go home. When given an opportunity to talk one on one with Richie, who was giving everyone a chance to campaign for themselves, Kenzie warned him of Corey's intentions and told him not to believe him before admitting that she had cast the second vote against him the previous tribal council. At tribal council, Kenzie would attempt to campaign for herself, but she would also be called out by Richie as he admitted that she had not upset anyone on the jury during the game. When it was revealed that Richie was told to select someone to automatically take with him to the Final Tribal Council, she would watch in despair as Corey would be chosen, sending her and Maggie to compete in the *Final 4 Passage Challenge*. It was at this point where Kenzie's luck would finally run out, as she would lose the challenge and would be eliminated from the game. Kenzie would place 4th out of 14th and would become the seventh and final member of the jury.

At the Final Tribal Council, Kenzie would bash Corey for using her as a scapegoat on many occasions during the game and using her only as a part of her strategy. She would continue by telling Maggie that she would be the winner of the game if it was based off of ethics alone. When voting, Kenzie would ultimately admit that although she disliked Corey's strategy, it worked well for him in the game, and she would cast her vote for Corey to win the game.
