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

Hobbies
Kickboxing, hiking, skeet shooting, riding four wheelers, snowboarding, wakeboarding, running, reading and volunteering in my community.
Pet peeves
People who are two-faced, unappreciative and lazy. Also, messy cars!
Castaway they say they are most like
I can relate to Tina Wesson, the first female winner in 2001, because she was 40, had a career in the medical field and was happily married.
Why they wanted to play
I gave up my medical school and career dreams when I met my husband in college and have devoted the rest of my time to my family as a mother and a supportive spouse. It is my time to "step out" and see what grit I am made of…I'm ready to show I'm a Survivor!

Alliances fans have named

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.
