What is your personal claim to fame? My YouTube channel, which has over 200,000 subscribers. Can you believe there are over 200,000 parents on YouTube who are willing to listen to my parenting advice?

Who or what is your inspiration in life? My mother. Motherhood is a very tough thing, and I learned everything I know today from her. Aside from that, though, she's a kind and loving woman, moreso than even me, and whenever I get frustrated or upset with people, I wonder, "what would mom do?" She's unfortunately no longer with us -- God rest her soul -- but I know she's proud of me for what I've become.

If you could have three things on the island, what would they be and why? A photo album of my family to remind me why I'm out here, matches for obvious reasons, and a video camera to record things for my channel.

Which Survivor contestant are you the most like? I think I'm a lot like Julie from last season. She was not afraid to play the game for herself, but she still didn't like compromising her beliefs. I think I'll run into problems distinguishing myself from others in the era of big moves Survivor but I think that I can play a better social game than her and make the moves I need to make to get to the end.

What's your reason for being on Survivor? I've never really done anything for myself in my life. It's always been about my husband or my kids or my siblings. Not that that's a bad thing, in fact it's admirable, but now that I'm starting to get older I've decided that I need to realize some of my own dreams and aspirations.

Why do you think you'll "survive" Survivor? I think I'm a tough woman, and though I might struggle at some challenges initially, overall in the long run I think I'll excel. If I can just get through those first few votes and win a couple challenges for my tribe, I'll definitely go deep. Near the end of the game I wanna make some moves to distinguish myself because there's always some poor old woman like myself who gets dragged to the end and gets 0 votes. I don't want that to be me, so I may have to actually make some big moves, even though I think they're too risky.
