We asked Monique:
How would you describe yourself?
Easygoing, kind, fussy, perfectionist, pedantic, humble.
What are your personal strengths and weaknesses?
Strength: determined. Weakness: short fuse.
What is your most endearing trait?
I'm a very loyal person and sensitive towards others.
What is your most annoying habit, if any?
Picking my fingernails when nervous.
What are your hobbies?
Gym.
What has been the biggest challenge in your life so far and how have you dealt with it?
When Dani was taken from me and I couldn't do anything to bring him back. I believe everything happens for a reason and what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger. I believe going through what I went through has helped me be the person I am today. I've also learned to not take people or things for granted.
What is the accomplishment you are most proud of?
Being where I am in my job and owning my own home at the age of 26.
What would be the craziest, wildest thing you would do for a lot of money?
Go on a reality TV show.
What would you NOT do for money?
Eat something that's not meant to be eaten and anything where you have to be naked.
What made you enter The Block?
The challenge and to be able to compete in doing something that I truly enjoy and to be able to do it with the man that I absolutely adore.
What makes you laugh?
People with a good sense of humour and people who don't take life too seriously.
What skills do you bring to The Block?
Flair, attention to detail and organisation.
What unique quality will you bring to The Block?
Charisma.
Why do you believe that you could be the winner of The Block?
Confidence and all of the above.
What is your most treasured possession and why?
My dog. She has been a part of our family and has been with Dani and myself as long as we have been together.
Who is your hero and why?
My mum, she's an amazing, beautiful woman who cares so much about the happiness of all those around her.
Describe your perfect day?
Waking up early (just after sun rise) have a coffee, take the dog for a walk, read the paper, meet up with friends for lunch then lay on the beach for the rest of the afternoon reading a good book.
What renovations have you done before?
My sister and I have a house that we fully renovated (interior and exterior) and the current house that I live in.
Who was your favourite couple on The Block 1. Why?
Amity and Phil — they were themselves the whole way through the show and they know how to have a good time.
What do you love most about your partner?
Dani has such a good heart, he is very caring and cares more about the happiness of his loved ones than he does himself.
How did you meet your partner?
Through mutual friends in a nightclub.
What is their most annoying habit/trait?
When he scratches his ears he makes the most annoying sound in the back of his throat.
How do you relax?
Book in for a long massage and pedicure.
How much money would you like to make from The Block?
$300k
What would you do with prize money?
A big holiday and buy property closer to the beach.
Do you want to be famous?
A little bit of fame would be nice.
What's your favourite holiday destination?
Rhodes
If you weren't doing what you do now (occupation) — what would you be doing?
Flight attendant (I think).
