Delilah Monterey

**Delilah Monterey** is a contestant on Survivor: Saints vs. Sinners, as a member of the *Drummond* (or *Female Saints*) tribe. She is currently still competing for the million dollar prize.

## Profile

**Name:** Delilah Monterey

**Age:** 32

**Hometown:** Tempe, Arizona

**Current residence:** Sedona, Arizona

**Occupation:** Animal Rights Activist

**Tribe designation:** Saints

**Hobbies:** Starting petitions against inhumane acts in the world, writing blogs to spread awareness of animal rights, and other related stuff to my campaigning work.

**Pet peeves:** To the surprise of many of my friends, I have no problem with people who use animal products because I get it, it can be hard to mould your lifestyle around it, but I hate those people who will argue with me about animal rights, supporting their abuse and mistreatment, without knowing anything on the subject other than what mass media has projected into their minds. I hate how they assume I'm just some stupid vegan who is trying to force change on everyone, I just want people to be informed on what goes on around behind the scenes of their morning eggs and bacon, or what goes into their hair gel and body products.

**Three words to describe you:** Cheerful, Informative, Fighter.

**What's your personal claim to fame?** Me and a team of rioters managed to convince one of the major candy suppliers to remove gelatin from their products. It was a really high achievement for everyone in Sedona!

**Who or what is your inspiration in life?** I guess activists everywhere, it's so important to fight for what you believe in and change the world if you have the opportunity! I really appreciate having friends with the same ideals and moral beliefs that I do so that we can work together to truly make a difference. Saving the animals is also another inspiration.

**If you could have three things on the island, what would they be and why?** Pen, paper, and a bottle. I've always wanted to send a message out to the ocean and see where it would end up, so I'd take the opportunity to do that.

**Survivor contestant you're most like:** Kimmi Kappenburg, we need more vegetarians and vegans on Survivor! I also think I have a personality which can easily upset people or make them less likely to like me, but I hope that I can get along with everyone.

**What's your reason for being on Survivor:** I thought it would be interesting to see how far I could push my limits being a vegan, I've been one for the past nine years, and I want to see if my commitment is as intense as I preach. I hope I can do it, otherwise I will look so hypocritical when I return home. I also want to see if I can mentally survive the game, after watching the toll it can have on some people on the television show.

**Why do you think you'll "survive" Survivor?** I am very good at convincing myself things, even if they aren't true, like hunger for example. I'm hoping that I'm able to survive through eating less, and being out of my everyday lifestyle. I want to show an example that vegans can do this show too, but I think I've talked about that belief to hell and back during this interview.

**Why are you a SAINT?** I am a Saint because I will do all I can to help the animals mother nature created for us, and I do everything in my everyday life to help make their lives better. If that doesn't show I have the qualities of a Saint in this game, I don't know what will!
