Hi everyone your comments are interesting and although i may not be a very popular character for you in the states i thank you for your support. all six of us gave it our all through blood sweat and tears, and dealt with the whole journey as men with dignity, passion and resilliance. Thank you again

I don't know Mark, you're pretty popular in this Houston household. (The salsa bit did it. ) We also love Rajko and Corey (although Corey's not shining in the competition. Too bad his best event-- the race in Mexico-- didn't work out for him.) I wonder if they're ever going to show clips of you dancing. They showed clips of Brad's family, and of Jason tree-cutting.
Thanks for dropping a line. More power to you!

Hey Mark. I think you're adorable. I felt really bad for you tonight. Too bad about the heel. I especially like your accent. I hope I will get to meet you all at Jason's wedding.

It was too bad about your heel. I had a similar injury in the 1996 Kuk Sol Won World Championships. I missed with an axe kick and struck the ground rather hard. I had a large spur on the backside of my heel for over a month. I'm a fan of the show and really enjoyed the wide variety athletes you got to travel with.

Mark,

Congrats! I don't care that you couldn't compete, to me you are 100% a trooper I think you did great and you definitely got the point across to all of us that you really are a great athlete. I'm sure your father would be VERY proud.

mark your the man, call me... "brotha" brummy

Dude, you're definitely a favorite here in the states. thats coming from a texan haha

Thank you for your support guys you Americans are great people. Jason i called you yesterday and left a message. Will try again next week

For the record, I think all of you guys did a fantastic job both as competitors and as representatives of Western Society thus far. I cannot decide who of you would be my favorite. My wife feels the same way. We are both proud of all you guys.

On the contrary Mrrk, you're in my top 3 right along with your fellow Brits. Hmm, wonder what that says about my sense of patriotism? Don't get me wrong I respect all of the competitors, American and British alike, but I find myself more aligned with the sensibilities of you Brits as you describe your experiences.

So sorry about the heel fracture. Wouldn't that impact your ability to compete for the remainder of the show?

you were great last night mark! I feel sorry about the heel fracture though.

Hello Mark, I thought your win in Africa was well deserved, and I can say I was one of your many supporters here in the u.s. Hope the heel is getting better, chin up and stay positive!!

I love your spirit Mark. My heart was breaking with and for you when you were talking about your dad not knowing you were now doing something with your life. I am telling you "Well Done" man! I hope you can go easier on yourself about this as time goes by. I am Buddhist, and I believe that in the true nature of all things your dad does know the puriety of your heart. Be Well! p.s. You're my Fav!

aw mark im so glad your online. your my favorite on the show!
you look exactly like my husband, and his name is mark too. maybe i'm partial.
i'm a kickboxer like you as well *not as good* so i'm very proud of you for representing us!
keep up the awesome work on the show and in your life!

Hey Mark, thanks for joining us! I would definitely poo-poo the notion you aren't a favorite - you guys all continue to impress the hell outta me with your stamina and determination and, what's even more inspiring, you don't back-stab, insult or play dirty. True men.

And you, boy, are by far the most entertaining. And I just love the combination of Salsa Dancer/Kickboxer. You get extra cool points just for that.

Hi Mark! I gotta tell you, I love your accent!!! the show is awesome, I'm sure you guys had a great experience regarless the outcome of the competition. You are MY favorite! =)

Mark you are definitely my favorite!!! I love you accent and you seem the most genuine to me.

Hope your heel is feeling better!!!

what's not to love about mark? good attitude, good athlete, good smile - it's all good!
