Keetin Ann Marchi (born February 13, 1989) is a former contestant and finalist on Endurance 2. She competed alongside Mike Lavigne, as the Green Team.

Endurance[]

At fourteen years old, Keetin was one of twenty new teens selected to be a part of the second season of Endurance.

Keetin was one of the contestants that made it through the Right to Stay. In the partner selection, she got Mike as a partner, and became the Green Team. Both of them were excited, because they wanted each other for a partner. When Max and Jenna returned, she was excited, and, along with Calley, befriended Jenna.

In Tower of Power, the Green Team started out slow in the mission, but worked together really well to win the first Temple Mission. She was excited at first about winning but felt nervous over having to send teams to temple, knowing it would likely cause the team that comes back to hate their guts. She and Mike agreed to send 2 weak teams since they didn't want a strong team to hate them so early in the game. They agreed not to send Brown and Yellow. Mike wanted to send Blue because of Scooter but Keetin wanted them to stay because of Christa. They ultimately settled on sending Gray and Orange. She stated it was hard to send Michelle but did so because Tyler said he wanted to go home. Gray was ultimately eliminated.

Keetin was assigned to read Gray's letter which began with an apology to both Green and Yellow for their behaviour. They left their piece though to Purple while also exposing a secret alliance. In Fireball, Keetin was the catcher for the Green. Keetin caught the ball in the first round and took out Orange on Mike's suggestion. After a few misses (but managing to avoid getting eliminated by another team) Keetin catches another ball and has to pick between either Purple or Red, ultimately picking Red. Green and Purple send a few rounds trying to catch another ball but Purple beats them, thus winning the mission for Purple. Despite Green's success at that point, Green was not one of teams seriously considered by Purple to get the samadhi. Instead, Orange received it. In Rollerball, it was a close race between Green, Brown and Yellow. Brown was the first to get a ball in their net followed by Green and Yellow. Yellow's next ball fell off while Brown almost got their second ball in. Green though just managed to get their second in first and thus they won another temple mission. Keetin was shown telling Jenna and Calley that she would pick Purple as her choice to go to temple since they have too many pieces, with Calley encouraging the discussion. Calley also claims that Annie said she didn't like Mike. Keetin informed Mike though he was skeptical about her saying it. Mike and Keetin agreed they wouldn't send Brown or Yellow with Keetin adding they weren't sending Blue (likely because of Christa). When Mike suggested Red, Keetin said that Phil was very mad when Green eliminated them in the Fireball mission. In a confessional, she states that she wanted to send Purple as she doesn't trust them. Mike however does and thus hindered them from doing so. She tries to encourages Mike some more to send Purple but Mike fears how Annie would react if Purple came back. They ultimately decided to send Orange and Red, the latter of whom was very upset with the decision. Keetin says the reasoning to send Red is because they are considered strong and others were scared of them. Red was eliminated at temple.

Mike was chosen to read Red's elimination note which further aired their grievances against Green for sending them to temple and hoped that they get sent home next. The letter concluded with them hoping that Keetin gets bitten by a chicken which prompted her to laugh. Keetin felt the letter was mean and called them sore losers. In the Tide Pull mission, Keetin was the one pulling the other teams ropes while Mike was rowing. Keetin initially targeted Blue like most of the other teams and got them eliminated. She then targeted purple but Mike was pulled in before she could finish, eliminating Green from the mission. Brown team ended up winning. Keetin noted that Max was making deals with numerous people and felt he wasn't worrying about Green or Yellow which annoyed them as it seemed they might not give it to Blue like what the alliance wanted. Even though Max was seen agreeing to a deal with Blue to not target Brown, Green or Yellow, they still gave the samadhi to Blue. In On the Ropes, she was the blindfolded member for Green. She was initially trailing Brown but started to fall behind most of the other teams. Brown ended up winning again. Keetin was relieved that she didn't have to be send people to temple while at the same time being sure she wouldn't be sent due to their alliance with Brown. She told Jenna if she one, she would send Blue and Purple. Calley agreed as it would guarantee that one of their threats would go home for certain. When Jenna was telling Keetin and Calley that Max didn't seem keen on sending Purple, Keetin said it was because he thought Annie was "cool". Brown though did follow Keetin and Calley's suggestion to send both Purple and Blue to temple. After Calley had confronted Annie about apparently not likely her, she then spoke privately with Keetin and Jenna where Keetin agreed that Calley hadn't done anything and said it proved that Annie had low self-esteem. Purple came back after eliminating Blue at temple.

Blue's elimination note expressed praise for Green, even hoping they might be the winner, though they ultimately gave their pieces to Purple instead. In Face to Face, Mike feel backwards shortly after the mission started, causing Keetin to let go, making Green the first eliminated from the challenge. Purple won in the end. Keetin, while finding humor in their poor performance that day, did express annoyance to Mike about how Purple now had 6 pieces (more than all of the other teams combined) and that if Blue gave Green the two pieces, then Purple would only have 4 while Green would have 3. At the rock, when JD inquired about Green's performance, Keetin took full responsibility while Mike said it was his fault as well. Purple choose not to give Green the samadhi and instead gave it to Brown. In a confessional, Keetin stated that Yellow was the team that needed to win the temple mission as they had not won a mission and needed to prove their worth to their alliance with Green and Brown. In Cherry Picker, Green was trailing at first, being the last team to get their first ball in. They started to do better when they became the second team to get their second ball in but struggled to their third ball ready. It ultimately became a tight race between Yellow and Purple with Purple winning after Yellow dropped theirs. Keetin stated in a confessional that it would be smart for Purple to send Brown due to their strength and also claimed that the Green-Brown-Yellow alliance seemed to already be crumbling. Brown and Yellow were selected to go to temple where Yellow was eliminated.

The next day, Keetin is having a conversation with Annie, Jeff and Michelle where Annie mentions that Max is making deals with everyone, claiming he would keep whoever he is talking to safe in hopes they wouldn't target Brown if they won. Keetin expressed annoyance over Max's tendency to do this though she does defend Jenna. In Aqueduct, she was as shocked as the others when Orange pulled off a surprise victory in the endurance mission. She predicted that Orange would give it to Purple if Tyler controlled Michelle. Tyler though asked to take the samadhi out of the game to which Keetin seemed to agree with. Orange request was granted on the condition that they admit who they would give the samadhi and it turned out they would have in fact given it to Green if the request was not granted. In Plank Maze, Green was leading for the entire mission and quickly completed their word, winning them yet another temple mission and guaranteeing them a spot in the final 3. Keetin at first proposed to send Brown and Orange. She and Mike even gave Brown advance notice of sending them, much to Max and Jenna's disappointment. By the time they had to make a final decision, they decided to send Purple instead of Orange against Brown since they knew the next mission is another temple mission and only the winner would be safe. Therefore, it made sense to send their two biggest competitors. Purple was eliminated while Brown joined them and Orange in the final 3.

Both Mike and Keetin felt the pressure to not lose so close to the finals. In Pathfinder, Keetin was cheering when she taught her team completed the puzzle but JD pointed out they had not. Brown instead finished before them, forcing Green to go to the temple of fate for the first time against Orange, who was there on their third trip. Green won the first two rounds (picking water in the first, fire in the second), earning them a spot in the finals against Brown while Orange was eliminated.

After returning to the beach, Keetin explained her team's temple strategy which, based on Max's advice, was to go with their first intuition, which for her was water as they were rowing down on water on their way to the temple for the first round and then fire in the second as there was fire all around the temple. She noted that she was excited about seeing the temple as she had not been there before but was nervous due to the risk of elimination.
