Jeff and Kim are like the definition of mactors.

Are you serious? First off, you're fucking wrong. Let me show you why, by consulting their profiles on the CBS website for Palau...

Jeff Wilson
Born in Santa Barbara, California, Jeff Wilson moved to Ventura when he was three years old and then later to Santa Maria, California. He graduated from Righetti High School, where he also played football. He continued his studies at The National Academy of Sports Medicine. Wilson is certified and employed as a personal trainer and works as a brand representative for a major clothing company. He has previously been employed as a soccer referee, welder and petroleum distributor. Wilson enjoys hiking, working out, fishing, horseback riding, jet skiing and kayaking. He describes himself as unpredictable, responsible and fun. He is a member of the National Academy of Sports Medicine and is certified by the United States Power Squad, which allows him to operate large boats. Currently single, Wilson resides in Ventura, California. His birth date is February 9, 1983.

-- Conclusion: Oh yeah, because sports medicine, welding, and working for a petroleum distributor are totally the requirements for being a mactor. You're right. It's all so intertwined with bartending & acting, how could I not see that? And God forbid he actually lives in the same place he's lived since he was 3! All the real mactors are the ones who moved TO the Southern California area FROM their hometowns. You can't penalize Jeff because he actually IS from Southern California, that's just bullshit. The only slightly mactor-ish quality in there is the "brand representative for a major clothing company", but that's behind-the-scenes work. And before anyone brings it up, that underwear photoshoot he did was AFTER Survivor, because the demand was high just because he was on the show. Julie did the same thing, but is she a mactor? No.

Kim Mullen
Born in California, Kimberly Mullen was raised in Huber Heights, Ohio. She attended Ohio State University, where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in international studies with a concentration in Middle Eastern studies. She also minored in psychology and political science. She is currently a graduate student at Wright State University, where she is pursuing a Master of Humanities en route to a Ph. D. in political science. She also works part-time as a government contractor for H.J. Ford/Department of Defense.

Mullen has previously worked as a recruiter, non-profit fundraiser, teacher and model, having lived in Atlanta, Miami Beach and Athens during modeling assignments. She represented Ohio in the 2002 Miss USA Pageant.

Mullen enjoys working out, socializing and sailing. She describes herself as spontaneous, intelligent and calculating. She is most proud of learning Arabic after the tragedy of September 11, 2001, in order to get a worldly perspective on reports coming in from the Middle East and has incorporated this knowledge into her studies. She hopes to continue to work in the non-profit sector while working towards her goal of becoming a professor of political science and an international organization consultant. She is a passionate supporter of raising awareness for ovarian cancer and human rights issues worldwide.

Mullen, who is currently single, remains in Huber Heights and Columbus, Ohio. Her birth date is March 13, 1979.

-- Conclusion: So what if she was in pageants? She was probably raised in that environment (moms can be very pushy for that type of thing before the daughters even have a choice in the matter), and even so if she continued doing it, what's wrong with pageants? At least it's striving to be a good role model and make some change in the world. And obviously Kim wants to do that, she knows Arabic for fuck's sake and she's worked for the government. And her goal of "becoming a professor of political science and an international organization consultant" doesn't exactly scream mactor to me. I know the modeling thing is mactor-ish, yeah, but do you blame her? She's gorgeous and it'd be easy to get involved with that due to her history with pageants.

someday I hope astroline is adopted by Kimberly Mullen and Fan-Favorite Jeff Wilson.

Uhh, thanks I guess?

I just hate this "mactor" bullshit. When I apply for Survivor and if I get on, I'd most likely be listed as like, "Student / Waiter" or something like that, and everyone here would be all like, "He's just a boring mactor..."
