The contension set was scheduled to do to the ICANN last resort auction next week but Monster, Inc who is best known for its high end audio cables just withdrew its application to operate the new gTLD .Monster leaving Monster.com which is the job board company as the remaining applicant.
According to its application Monster.com plans to operate .Monster as a .brand domain extension.

Here is the press release:

“The proposed gTLD will be a restricted, exclusively-controlled gTLD where only Applicant, affiliated entities and authorized business partners will be permitted to register second-level domains for Applicant business purposes only for a term of one to ten years.

Affiliated entities who are part of the same corporate organization as the Applicant who seek registrations for second-level names under the TLD will be required to present evidence in writing to accredited registrar(s) for the TLD demonstrating explicit authorization from an officer of the Applicant company to register second-level names within the TLD to protect against unauthorized registration within the TLD by unaffiliated third parties."
