Theoretical MTT question: What if everyone at table 1 is sitting out?

[Hawklet]

I have to believe that this question has been asked before but I couldn't find anything via search.

Say you're place at table 1 of the Sunday Million. You notice that the 8 other players at the table are sitting out and just steal their blinds.

When each person is almost gone you scratch your head and wonder why they're all missing. As it turns out, they're all from the Galapagos Islands (which we all know, was just struck by a meteor), so they're not sitting back any time soon.

Do you keep stealing their blinds and end up with 8x starting stack for free? Or do you auto-fold also and pray that you're not switched from your table and coast your way into the final 20 or whatever?
