 is a contestant from Survivor: Royals vs. Rebels.

Profile
Name (Age): Mackay Brown (43)

Tribe Designation: (Royals)

Current Residence: Austin, TX

Occupation: CEO

Claim to Fame: I am one of the only black women CEOs in the entire country, which is proof to me and to any other black women out there that they can do anything no matter what hardships they may face.

Inspiration in Life: Rosa Parks. She was one of the most brave women to ever grace this planet. She took a stand against racism and oppression by taking a seat in the front of that bus, and she paved the way for people who look like me to be successful in the United States. She showed that nothing is impossible and that if you make your voice heard and put in the work, results will come out of that eventually.

Hobbies: I am a reality TV junkie! When I’m not busy with my executive duties, I love watching the trashiest reality shows out there - from Big Brother to Real Housewives to the Bachelor, if it’s a reality show, I’m watching it, end of story.

Pet Peeves: Lazy people, no question! You can’t get anywhere by sitting on your ass doing nothing, unless you’re born crazy wealthy of course, but that shouldn’t be an excuse! Honestly, that makes it worse for me. I may be wealthy now, but I worked my ass off to get here, and some people just sit there on their thrones without having done a single ounce of work their entire lives. It drives me crazy!

3 Words to Describe You: Independent, hard-working, and intense

What Makes You a “Royal”: I worked myself up here not by complaining and rebelling against society, but by working it to my advantage. Now, I’m definitely a Royal, because I’m a very accomplished and successful woman, and I got there not by dying my hair blue and doing hard drugs, but by working with what I had to lift myself up.

Who is More Suited for Survivor: Royals or Rebels: The Royals. We’re the ones who got to the top and we did that by working the society around us to our advantage. That’s exactly what Survivor is about, is it not? You don’t get points for being in the minority or being an underdog; in fact, that means you’re more likely to get voted out. The Royals are going to work the people around them to their advantage instead of flipping or playing erratically, and that’s why a Royal is winning the game.

Reason for Being on Survivor: Uh, hello? I love reality TV shows, and Survivor is my absolute favorite. It has everything I love - drama, surprising moments, and memorable characters. It’s been my dream to be on a reality show of any type, but Survivor has always been the one I wanted to get on the most. Well, here I am, and I am f***ing pumped to get started.

Why You Will Be the Sole Survivor: I have all the ingredients to win the game. I have grit, determination, and smarts, which should get me to the end no matter how bad of a spot I might end up in. What I may lack in survival skills and experience, I’ll more than make up for with my strategy and leadership skills. I’ll lead an alliance to the end, and I’ll get the jury votes for being the leader of the operation.
