Malcolm Mixon

**Malcolm Mixon** is a contestant from *Survivor: Cook Islands* and *Survivor: All-Stars*.

Malcolm's time on *Cook Islands* is best known for his leadership role in both the Ma'uke tribe and the Aitutaki tribe post-absorption. Malcolm quickly assumed the role of a leader early on, which ended up almost costing him the game. Early on, Malcolm found a Hidden Immunity Idol, which he played on Day 11's Tribal Council, nullifying 4 votes cast against him and voting out Gabriel Diaz with a sole vote from Malcolm, shifting the game. On the new Aitutaki tribe, Malcolm aligned himself with old Ma'uke tribemate Sarah Vogel to once again shift the game, and target Ben Hagen. After the merge, the game changed once again and the power shifted to the old Takutea tribe which had an unbreakable bond. Malcolm was the final victim of the Aitutaki tribe, being the last member standing and he was voted out unanimously, leaving only the five original Takutea members standing.

Malcolm's time on *All-Stars* was less successful, as his strategic nature on *Cook Islands* was recognized by the rest of the Buka tribe. Unfortunately, despite attempts to target Ajay Kumar, when the Buka tribe attended their first Tribal Council, Malcolm was voted out in a close 6-4 vote.
