Matthew Grinstead-Mayle's own answers from the pre-game cast profile CBS published before the season aired.
- Hobbies
- Adventures with my son and husband, rollercoasters, waterslides, eating food from all over the world, growing and collecting plants
- Pet peeves
- People that talk in circles, people who don't give others time to talk in a convo, the color combo of purple and white, misformed popsicles, odd numbers, pineapple on pizza, malt chocolate candy
- Inspiration
- My husband Dale. He fell in love with me before I knew how to love myself. I don't think I would be here without him in my life.
