Mark, or Papa Bear, is castaway from Survivor: South Pacific and he was a member of the Savaii tribe. He became the third person voted out of the game on day 8 and was the second person eliminated from the game on day 9 after he lost his Redemption Island duel.
On Day 1, he told everyone he was gay but should overlook it, but insisted they all called him Papa Bear. Right away, he and Dawn felt like outsiders because they were the oldest; he gave Dawn a come to Jesus meeting and told her she needed to toughen up or get voted out. During the first tribal council, both Papa Bear and Dawn were saved when the focus was split between the two perceived weakest – Semhar and Cochran. Although they won the second immunity challenge, Papa Bear (and Cochran) were on the chopping block, Papa Bear because of his weak performance at the challenge. When Papa Bear asked Jim who was being voted out, he told him Cochran, but Papa Bear saw through his lie and decided to hunt for the Hidden Immunity Idol in order to save himself (already possessing a clue), but with Ozzy already possessing it, he was unable to find it. Elyse, however, caught him behaving weirdly in the woods and told her alliance. In a desperate move, Papa Bear made a fake hidden immunity Idol moments before tribal, although the majority alliance didn’t fall for it, voting for him in a 6-1-1 vote and sending him to Redemption Island. On Day 9, he narrowly lost against Christine, sending him home permanently. Aside from Survivor, Papa Bear appeared on the TV Show “Brain Games”. He was the only male on South Pacific NOT to make the merge. He was also the oldest member of Savaii.
