Mary's CBS S16 site bio
January 5 , 2008: CBS eventually gets around to putting up their Survivor: Micronesia site, which includes Mary's bio (below):

"Mary SURVIVOR: MICRONESIA
Age: 29
Home Town: Emeryville, CA
Occupation: Real Estate/Financial Company Owner
   Mary Sartain 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. She also attended real estate school and is currently in Broker School.
    Sartain lived in Quito, Ecuador when she was five years old. She moved to Oahu, Hawaii, when she was 18 years old to explore island living. She eventually moved to San Francisco and then Walnut Creek, California.
    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.
    Sartain is currently single and resides in Emeryville, California, with her two Abyssinian cats, Kya and Portia. Her birth date is November 11, 1978."

Entertainment Weekly
January 3, 2008: Entertainment Weekly (mostly Dalton Ross) handles the cast-release chores for Survivor: Micronesia. Included is Mary's pre-show interview and Probst's comments:

"THE ROOKIES: MARY SARTAIN
AGE: 29
OCCUPATION: Real estate entrepreneur
HOMETOWN: Emeryville, Calif.

MARY SAYS: ''This is closer to $1 million than I've ever been. I'm definitely in it for the money. I'm largely money-driven.''

JEFF PROBST SAYS: ''I think Mary coming into the game is going to be on the bubble. She's either going to learn where to fit in this group quickly or she's going to be on the outs for the whole time. Mary's best play is to hide in the middle, not become a nuisance, just hang out and see if you can hang out long enough that your vote becomes valuable."

MayanSun at Survivor Sucks
December 18, 2007: Along with a matching vidcap from the post-finale preview of S16, MayanSun (SurvivorFever) posts Mary's name, age, location and occupation at Sucks:

"Mary Sartain
From: Emeryville, Calif
Age: 29
Occupation: Loan Broker, Real Estate Investment "

Note: Trojanker follows fairly swiftly thereafter with a number of images of Mary, mostly taken from her Facebook profile.

December 16, 2007: CBS shows clips of the non-All Star contestants in their preview of S16/ Survivor: Micronesia. Mary's blurb and images:

Mary: "I feel at this point, this is exactly what I'm supposed to be doing."
(Sitting in a tree, talking with your hands to a reality show producer? Really?)

CobySucks at Survivor Sucks
December 3, 2007: Someone named CobySucks reveals the following at SurvivorSucks's S16+ forum:

"Like i said i will NOT spoil the actual game but i don't think cast spoilers ruins anything. here are some names i have found out and this is all I know about them at this point...

Mary-fake tits
Mikey B- LA guy
Truck- new Rupert type/big guy
Curt- works for Miss America/Universe

and then there is supposedly another older lady who goes kind of whacko and tries to cut her fingers off with a machette????"

2007ish: Mary is listed in the directory of realtors for the East Bay area, working for Statewide Financial (aka Statewide Home Loans) in San Ramon, CA.

Rumors that she single-handedly caused the subprime mortgage crisis seem unlikely to be true.
