Chelsea Townsend's own answers from the pre-game cast profile CBS published before the season aired.

Claim to fame
Graduating college. I grew as a person and learned a lot about dedication and self-motivation. It gave me the foundation to continue my education and pursue a career as a physician assistant.
Hobbies
Hiking, camping, and enjoying time with family and friends.
Pet peeves
People with constantly pessimistic or negative energy.
Inspiration
My family. I have the most supportive and loving family. They constantly challenge me to be the very best version of myself. I love being able to pursue my passions and dreams knowing they will always be there to help me along the way.
Castaway they say they are most like
Parvati. I think I could use my charm to build relationships, and I think I have the competitive spirit and wit she had.
Luxury item
A mattress to get a good night's rest, a toothbrush because I can't imagine not brushing my teeth for more than a day, and definitely food because nobody likes starving.

Survivor never names an alliance on screen. These names, and who counts as a member, are how the fan community records the game rather than an official record of it.
