Ashley Hayden

Ashley Hayden is a contestant from .
The strategic center of the game, Ashley started as a member of the Timbila majority and helped to dictate many of the pre-merge votes. After the merge, she continued to play hard by forming a women's alliance with GiGi van Schalkwyk and Sade Giliberti. By strategically weaponizing the past votes tiebreaker and embarking on a streak of immunity wins, she met little resistance on her march to the Final Two. However, at the Final Tribal Council, Ashley's history of deceptive gameplay was reviled by the jury, causing her to lose the title of Ultimate Survivor to the better liked GiGi.
