Mariano made hisSurvivordebut during 2002s fourth season as a 25-year-old from, where else, Boston.
Even the non-competitors knew to fear him, with Chrishell Stause comparing Marino to a great white shark.
But while others are distracted by his cutthroat gameplay, Mariano looks for his competitive edge.
I will have a go at find themThe Traitorsas well.
.Biggest Bluff
.
Hell tell you that he went outside of the game and it was because of friendship.
Thats where I have a problem.
Ironically, it ended up working the opposite way.
I was pretty proud of that.
.Biggest Error (His)
I dont have a lot of errors.
It was a little bit of an impossible situation onSurvivor: Winners at War.
I didnt participate in the pre-game alliance building.
I didnt want to do it.
It felt dirty to me.
I know everybody does it now, but Im kind of old school in that capacity.
It wasnt necessarily a true old school versus new school season because the alliances had already been made.
The writing was on the wall.
If given the chance to do that specific situation again, I probably wouldve tried something different.
But Tyson goes rogue and decides hes smarter than me.
I cant account for other peoples stupidity.
Im friends with Tyson to this day.
He knows it was a mistake in his mind.
So thats something I couldnt account for because it doesnt make sense to me.
I attempt to see the game through everybodys eyes and his thinking.
It wouldve never entered into my thoughts.
His rationale was that he didnt think that it would make a difference.
He didnt think the vote would be that close.
It was a foolproof plan, but like I said, I cant account for other peoples stupidity.
I can only do so much.
.Best Strategic Move
Asking my wife to marry me, on season eight ofSurvivor All-Stars.
This April will be 20 years since weve been married.
So I think that by far is the best move Ive ever made.
.TraitorsPlayers He Most Admires
I was so impressed with the wayPhaedraandKate ChastainplayedThe Traitors.
I thought it was brilliant when Kate just didnt care and she was like, vote me off.
It was so entertaining.Pete the pilotreally had a good handle on things in that game.
Its a different kind of game.
The Traitorsis a hard game.
The biggest reason is because of the numbers.
OnSurvivor, youre dealing with eight to 10 people per tribe.
OnDeal or No Deal Island, its 12 or 13 different people.The Traitorsis like 22, 23 people.
You dont even have time to talk to everyone, let alone figure out whos doing what.
And as a Traitor, youre getting very little sleep, a couple hours a night.
My target is big already and they illuminated it.
Theres been some poor decisions.
Of course hes upset because were Survivors, but he doesnt know at this point that Im a Traitor.
