When Mackenzie Fitzgerald, AKA, Mack, first appeared in season 1 of NBC’s ‘Destination X,’ she was not just any other contestant hoping to win the competition. The viewers quickly learned that she wasn’t there to make friends or find herself but rather to dominate the game. She confessed how she had devised a foolproof plan. She decided to target the weakest link and wanted to use it as her shield. Initially, Mack formed an alliance with Ally, which helped her secure the first clue alongside her competitor.

Before the world knew Mackenzie Fitzgerald, popularly referred to as Mack, as a master strategist on the show, she was building an impressive career. In 2015, the reality star earned her Bachelor of Science in Sociology from Dallas Baptist University, graduating with a Magna Cum Laude grade.

Beyond her legal career, Mack has another side to offer. She has ventured to over 50 countries and has visited nearly every state of her home country.
