**Money Won:** | $0

**Marq Savage** was a male contestant that competed on ***The Royalty Challenge***. He first appeared on the second season, The Royalty Challenge: Blood vs. Water, with his pair Tina Savage where they were the fourteenth pair eliminated; placing in 6th place. He returned in The Royalty Challenge: Tokyo Drift with his Fresh Meat pair Zuzana Zu where he was ninth eliminated; placing individually in 13th place.

In **Blood vs. Water**, Marq came into the season with a reputation of cheating in other ORG's and his intention was to redeem himself; but he hadn't forgot about his rivalry with Aqua Pierre. He started the season off crushing on Malik Cordova and then eventually his partner Andy Cook; who he exchanged sexual images with. He was involved in a love triangle with Malik and rival Jozea Lee; and the two went at it to the point where Marq felt like quitting the game. After some strong support from sister Tina, Marq remained in the game with his eyes set on winning. They got added to the Wendy's Angels alliance by Duccy Johnson but they had no desire to stay loyal to it due to Jozea's presence. After a rocky start being the underdogs with barely any allies, Marq and Tina joined forces with the rookies in Julien Hiraga's Praise Queen Rhea alliance after the veteran's Blood Ring alliance was exposed. After calling Randi Smith, Marq made sure the votes were split between perceived co-leaders Donnchadh Fitzgerald and Dorian Washington. After their alliance dominated the second half of the game and winning 2 daily challenges, Marq and Tina were purged in the last challenge before the finale.

In **Tokyo Drift**, Marq was paired up with Rookie Zuzana during the Fresh Meat pair twist. Marq entered the game aiming to have a stronger strategic approach; wanting to build an alliance of Veterans and having his partner get close to the rookies within the pairs where he didn’t have a solid connection with the Veteran. He got pulled into two alliances created by Christian Cruz that he didn't want to be a part of; exposing them to ally Marti De'Lyte unaware that Christian's partner Katie Jenkins had already leaked it. Marq decided to lay low and stay clear of the drama; but supported Tasha's nominations as he wanted Katie out. Alongside his sister Tina, Marq and Marti got close to Nasir Gemini; bonding together on voice-call. In Round 3, he won the daily challenge with his partner and became The Overtakers; but Zuzana let Marq take control of nominations. He went after Caoimhe Mulcahy/Donnchadh, Devin Tauruan/Timmy Putnam and Kendall Gray/Sylvia Riah; believing he was connected the least to these pairings within the game. However, Marq/Zuzana were hit with karma in Round 5 when they ended up being nominated by Overtakers Donnchadh/Caoimhe after Donnchadh heard he and Marti were after him from their voice-calls. Denying he said that, he went at it with Donnchadh and Malik briefly and asked to be sent in; claiming to be over the game. He and Zuzana received the majority of votes; with Marq taking control once again and calling out Donnchadh's ally Jamie Fitzgerald and his partner Remi Rowan for elimination. Played in Rookie/Veteran match-ups, Marq won his first ever elimination by just over a minute against Jamie.

Marq's association with Marti, someone who was involved in multiple dramas in the villa, and Nasir caused him to become a target for the majority of the house; including the first Overtaker of the individual stage of the game Alex Rose. Marq asked the other players to vote him into elimination; including Donnchadh. Marq told him he'd call him out and subsequently throw the elimination to him. Hearing from Nasir that he's Marq's main target, Donnchadh and Devin switched their votes to the other nominees to protect themselves. After receiving the majority of votes, Marq called-out Jaylen Goldberg with the intention of throwing; but after his slow performance, Marq went for the win and won his second elimination in-a-row. Shortly after winning, Donnchadh called-out Marq for lying about throwing; with Marq defending himself saying he would have thrown it. He was then labelled fake by Caoimhe who claimed he said he'd throw the elimination to Jamie too; leading many, even his own ally Nasir, to question how he's still here if his intention was to throw. After Nasir leaked the VC Gang's conversations about Donnchadh and Caoimhe, Caoimhe confronted Marq regarding him talking about her and to say what he has to say to her face; leading to another heated conversation between the pair that had to be stopped by production. Marq tried to then calm down the arguments in his own alliance as Marti questioned Nasir's loyalty for spreading their conversations to other players. During Round 7, Marq was once again nominated by Alex but this time faced the mercenary twist; The Drifters. Against former ally from **Blood vs. Water** Lex Quinn, Marq failed to win his third elimination in-a-row and was eliminated from the game.
