Survivor: Micronesia
Mary was placed on the Airai tribe known as "The Fans" and became part of an 7-man alliance in episode 2 and was closest to Machael Bortone. When they lost the 2nd immunity challenge, Michael took leadership of his 7-man alliance and told everyone to vote out Chet who was one of the 3 people who were not in the alliance. This act was seen as a threat by fellow alliance member Joel Anderson who thought that Michael suddenly decided to assume leadership and had too much power, this made Joel decide to tell everybody else (except Michael and Mary but Including the 3 members who were not in the alliance) to vote out Mary in order to keep Michael weak but to still be able to keep his strength in challenges. During tribal council, Joel managed to convince a few members in his alliance plus the 3 people (Kathy, Chet and Tracy) who were not in their alliance to vote out Mary, making her the 2nd person to be voted out of Survivor Micronesia.
