Mark Millionaire

***Mark*** was a castaway on Essential Survivor: Fans vs. Favorites. He later returned for Essential Survivor: All Stars 2

## Fans Vs. Favorites

Mark started on the Kahu tribe. After applying for Seasons 7-9 before getting on, he knew he had something to prove right off the bat. After the easy Oscar vote out, Mark had suspicions about Karmynn and Jaylen attending the same school, but he didn’t know how to spread it. Mark also had another good read by finding out the dynamics of the tribe. Pointing out YEG (Cole, Kristin, Kip), Matthew, Jaylen and Karmynn, with Oma and Despair on the bottom. Only problem was that Mark didn't know where he was. He ended up siding with YEG as he trusted them the most.

By Kahu’d 2nd tribal, Mark helped push an Oma vote as he was getting aggressively targeted by him. Fortunately it worked as he was voted out unanimously. With the tribes tied at 8-8, a Joint Tribal was the last thing they hoped for. But when it came, Mark was doing decently. He collected a lot of information from the Faves, but didn’t put it to much use as everyone stuck to tribal lines. Mark’s tribe took the W though, as the faves caved in due to no tribe unity, voting out Will.

As Kahu won the last 2 pre-merge challenges, Mark became more and more privy of his lackluster position. He started to realize that he was on the bottom of the tribe, which of course made him think of flipping come merge. He also took note of Kip’s stellar social game, as he was mostly everyone’s #1, including Mark’s. Come merge, Mark wanted to flip to the Faves with people he thought was on the bottom such as Cole and Despair. He wanted to make a move in this game to cement his presence, so as much as he wanted to send Kristin home over Karmynn, he stuck through it to better his position.

At Final 12, Mark wanted a fave out, but as his wish was granted with a Bradley plan. Mark was reluctant, especially to let Kip and Cole control the round from his eyes but he let it happen. This vote wasn’t as simple though, as Tae went to Mark last minute to organize a vote on Kip, but Mark didn’t follow through as he knew the votes weren’t there, sending Bradley to jury. With 11 people left, there were 2 clear trios left in the game. YEG, and Tae/Jaylen/Aria. This led to the creation of ‘the middle’ with Brittney, Mark, John, and Matthew with Despair as an affiliate. They controlled the votes, planning a split vote breakdown with Cole going over Kip, but with a few last minute flips from the Tae/Jaylen/Aria trio, Kip went home with Cole misplaying his idol on Kristin.

During the demerge, Mark was on a tribe with Cole, Matthew, Brittney and Aria. The lines were drawn 3-2, with Mark aligning with Britt and Matt. Their target was Cole, but Mark got suspicious as he noticed that Brittney and Cole were speaking more than usual leading up to Tribal, but Cole went home regardless 3-2. Coming into the Final Eight, Mark is met by an extensive plea from Tae to flip sides and target a big threat. While he acknowledged that Tae was correct in some areas, Mark still believed that Matthew and him were mutual #1s, as did everyone in the majority minus John. But after consideration, Mark went through with it and flipped, voting out John. Unfortunately, John got suspicious himself and used his Vote Steal on Mark to confirm a Tae vote out.

At Final Seven, Mark heard that Tae and Despair were attempting to flip the vote onto him before tribal, which prompted John’s Vote Steal. With this info, he flipped back to his majority alliance with targeting Despair and Aria in mind. Around here, Mark really started to notice Matthew’s threat level as well, but wasn’t able to make any real moves due to his worsened positioning.

With Despair gone at seven, the majority alliance was ready to take out Aria. But when she won immunity, everyone scrambled. Mark tried to rally votes for a John boot, but due to him being at the bottom of the totem pole, the alliance flipped on him.
