## Player History - *Big Brother 1*

On Week 1, Mari played a pretty social game. She grew understanding with other women of color, Brooke Burnerr and Isabella Mendez, to not target each other after having a nice conversation with them. The next day, after the Head of Household competition, she forms The Dominaters alliance with Fiona Adams and Flynn Jackson after they gossip for most of the day. Flynn is later nominated by Head of Household, Pablo Garcia. After Wade Malloy wins the veto, Mari becomes paranoid about becoming a replacement nominee if the veto is used, so they plead to Pablo to not go on the block. The Power of Veto does not get used, so, Mari campaigns to save her ally, Flynn. Flynn ends up surviving the block, and Damien Martin is evicted, with Mari being the swing vote between him and Cassidy Havens.

On Week 2, Mari almost wins the Head of Household, after not being targeted in the competition once. However, their close ally, Brooke, wins instead. Mari and Isabella become concerned, though, when Brooke lets the power get to her head. Brooke fights with multiple different houseguests and is always walking around angry. They try to distance from her a bit. After Mari and Brooke both lose the Veto, Brooke puts Eric Nguyen on the block as a replacement nominee and targets him. Mari ends up being the only person to do what their ally wanted by voting Eric, knowing he would not be leaving regardless.

On Week 3, after being such a focus of the previous two weeks, Mari has a quiet week. Her previous allies, Brooke and Isabella were both nominated, with Brooke being the MVP's nominee. However, due to distancing from the both of them, she didn't mind. Regardless, they still voted to evict the other nominee, Cassidy, on eviction night, voting in the minority. The following week, with Cassidy as a final nominee again, Mari voted to evict Cassidy. This time, Cassidy was successfully evicted. On Week 5, Mari was very open to the HoH, Joseph Coles, about wanting to protect her allies, Fiona and Flynn, as well as her new friend, Wade. Even though she was so blunt and honest about who she is working with, they all remained off of the block. At the Live Vote and Eviction, Mari voted to evict Jennie Dutton with the rest of the house.

On Week 6, Pablo goes on to become the new HoH. The Dominaters become nervous for their safety since none of them are close with Pablo. In an attempt to get the attention off of them, Mari suggests nominating Alexus Briscoe to the Head of Household. However, it was unsuccessful, with Fiona and Flynn becoming the nominees. When Fiona wins the Power of Veto, this gets Mari put on the block. Due to her lack of connections, and budding showmance with Wade, Mari was then evicted in 11th place by a vote of 5-3, making her the first member of the jury.
