Monte Taylor, a contestant on The Challenge USA season 2

The Challenge USA season 2 contestant Monte Taylor is a 28-year-old personal trainer from Bear, Delaware. Also, he has an Instagram account with 63.7K followers where he posts videos about fitness and workouts. As well as his education at the University of Delaware, he earned a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering.

According to Big Brother Wiki, Monte Taylor shared some insights about how he plays a game on reality television as well as his outlook on life. Speaking about the people he would least likely to form alliances with him, he shared:

“People that are very chatty, who like to talk a lot about the things that you've said in private to others. To me, in an alliance, the biggest thing is trust and loyalty. So if what's talked about within the alliance stays within the alliance, then that'll make sure that we can advance our game even further.”

Furthermore, when he was appearing on Big Brother season 24, he shared the advice he follows while appearing on reality TV shows. According to him:

“Just to be myself. The biggest thing around going into this atmosphere where you're meeting a bunch of different people is just to stay true to myself. So I plan on doing that throughout this whole summer, not altering or changing who I am. Because that's going to be the best version of me.”
