Biography
Mary Sartain, a self-proclaimed SURVIVOR addict, is a co-owner of Statewide Financial, a real estate and financial company that, under her supervision, houses a team of loan officers, salespersons and assistants. She has worked in sales all her life. Sartain attended some college at California State, Hayward, where she took courses in art and business.

Sartain's hobbies include painting, basketball and Bikram yoga. She describes herself as energetic, strong-willed and an achiever. She is most proud of realizing her potential at a very young age and having been in business since she was 19 years old. In addition to her ability to adapt mentally and physically, Sartain believes that her skills of being able to put people together (as she does in her everyday work) to create the outcome that she desires will help her go far on SURVIVOR.

Of all the previous SURVIVOR contestants, she mostly relates to Jenna Morasca from season six because she was able to use her good looks to win the game. She proves to be a true fan by coming into the game with a solid game plan: make an immediate alliance with two strong minded and capable people who know the game as well as her.
