[About her game play in Heroes vs Villains] The irony of my situation is that the first time I played this game (Survivor) people hated me so bad, they wanted me gone. This time they liked me too much to keep me around.

Manthey describes herself as adventurous, fun loving, spontaneous, honest, and kind. Her favorite hobbies include photography, cooking, painting, writing, reading, and her all-time favorite, camping. She enjoys hiking and/or backpacking to very remote, unknown places in order to escape the craziness of Los Angeles. Her favorite event is Burning Man, a festival that takes place every year in the vast, barren Black Rock desert of Nevada. She has gone every year since 1999 and says she will go every year for as long as she lives or until the event no longer takes place. At Burning Man 2000, she and a group of friends from all over California organized a theme camp and stayed for 12 days. They built their own shelter and brought all the supplies necessary to survive in the harsh environment and extreme weather. Manthey named their temporary residence "Camp Chaos" and adopted the slogan "The Ultimate Order Lies in Chaos," a motto she believes applies directly to her life. She now designs, builds, and is the kitchen manager and executive chef for the founders of Burning Man. She feeds them and their VIP guests 3 meals a day in the middle of some of the most treacherous weather and living conditions imaginable.
