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

Claim to fame
Graduating with an engineering degree and putting it on the back burner. Gotta' do what you love.
Hobbies
Going to bars and meeting girls, going to the gym and making beats.
Castaway they say they are most like
Russell Hantz, because he manipulated everyone and was a boss the entire time. Puppet mastery is the name of the game.
Why they wanted to play
I want to be the alpha male. This show is predominately about who is the leader of the pack and that's me. I've been busy with school and graduation but now that's all over. It's my time to dominate this game and win it. Plus, I want a million dollars.

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.
