Ashley Nolan is a contestant from Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers.
Plagued with multiple early setbacks, including an accusation of being in a power couple with JP Hilsabeck and a Tribe Switch where she was nearly a victim of an idol play, Ashley managed to reach the merge and eventually fall under the radar. She then went on to win two individual Immunity Challenges and solidify herself in the majority Solewa alliance. However, when Ben Driebergen played a Hidden Immunity Idol at the final six, the rest of the tribe turned on Ashley, voting her out unanimously.

Age: 26
Hometown: Satellite Beach, Fla.
Current residence: Satellite Beach, Fla.
Occupation: Lifeguard
Hobbies: Surfing, working out, training, and eating.
Pet peeves: Ignorance, laziness, and complainers.
Three words to describe you: Impressive, tough, and hilarious.
What's your personal claim to fame? Just about as well rounded as any woman could be. I'll be just one of the guys—out saving lives, working out, and cracking jokes all day and then all of the sudden I can put myself together into a well-spoken lady who can charm your socks off and still kick butt.
Who or what is your inspiration in life? This whole world inspires me. Everywhere you look there is opportunity to make a change for the better and to really go out there and live the exact life you want to live. People get so caught up in the day to day that they forget that in each of us is the power to change. The way I see it, there's nothing stopping anyone who wants something bad enough from going out and making it happen; and if that thing doesn't work out, you learn, you grow, and you move on.
If you could have three things on the island, what would they be and why? A surfboard to keep me sane, headphones to tune out other people's complaining, and a journal to secretly document everything and tactically plan how to use it against others.
Survivor contestant you're most like: Richard Hatch seemed to have the right idea, and because he won. I am a winner.
What's your reason for being on Survivor: Life is WAY too short to not say YES to everything. My dad and I have wanted me to be on Survivor since Season 1—and I finally decided that I should stop messing around and go out and win a million bucks for myself and the family. I get super anxious when life starts to settle too much so I really needed another curve ball in life to mix things up a bit and this is certainly it.
Why do you think you'll "survive" Survivor? If you're not first, you're last—and I refuse to be last. I have never given up or settled for second best at anything in my life. I know that my body is capable of way more than the average human and mentally I have the strong will, stubbornness, and confidence to ensure that I will be there at the end. Being the Sole Survivor is what is meant for my life next.[2]
Survivor
A member of the Levu tribe, on Day 1 Ashley formed an alliance with JP Hilsabeck, and the two aligned with Alan Ball and Ben Driebergen. However, on Night 2, a paranoid Alan accused Ashley and JP of being a power couple and having the idol which she denied. Levu lost the first Immunity Challenge. Despite Alan's actions the alliance stayed strong and unanimously voted out Katrina though she received a vote from Katrina Radke.
She and Alan remained on Levu after the Tribe Switch where they made amends, and tried to convince the swing vote Devon Pinto to side with them. Levu lost immunity on Day 11. At camp, Joe Mena openly said he would vote for Ashley for being the weakest which irritated Ashley. Devon lost trust in Joe, solidifying his bond with Ashley. However at Tribal Council, Devon's vote was blocked by Jessica's advantage. Ashley and Alan stayed the course and voted for Joe, but Joe played his Hidden Immunity Idol blindsiding Alan. After Alan left, a cheerful and somewhat unsportsmanlike Joe told Ashley he read her face. The next day Ashley and Devon confirmed their loyalty to each other. They talked about convincing Joe's ally Desi Williams to side with them. On Day 15, Ashley talked to Desi about flipping on Joe which she considered. However, the tribe would not see Tribal Council again before the merge.
Ashley made it to the merge where she along with her original Levu tribemates, and the Yawa tribe aligned to take out the members of the Soko tribe. On Day 22, Joe called her an easy goat to take to the end which irritated her. On Day 25, Lauren Rimmer won the Reward Challenge and chose to share the reward with Ashley, Devon, and Ben. On the trip, Lauren proposed a final 4 deal with them, and to target the trio of Chrissy Hofbeck, JP, and Ryan Ulrich which they agreed. Ashley won immunity. At Tribal Council, Ashley's new alliance blindsided JP. Chrissy won immunity at the final 8. Ashley talked to Lauren about turning on Ben for being a threat, but at Tribal Council, she helped vote out Joe though she received votes from Chrissy and Ryan.
The next day she met her dad Jim at the Loved Ones Challenge. Chrissy won the challenge, and chose to share the reward with Ryan, Mike Zahalsky, and Ashley. Ashley managed to win the next Immunity Challenge. At Tribal Council, she joined ht majority in voting for Ben, but Ben played his idol and his sole vote sent Lauren out of the game. Ashley failed to win the Reward Challenge while Devon did, but did not take her on the reward which confused her. At camp, Ben tried to talk strategy with her, but she didn't want ant part of it. Chrissy managed to win Immunity Challenge. At camp, Ashley suggested to split the votes between Ben and Mike in case Ben played another idol. During Tribal Council, Ben told Ashley to vote for Mike, and he played his idol before the votes were cast. As a result of Ben being safe the five were forced to tun on each other. Ashley voted for Mike, but the rest voted against her which resulted in her being blindsided. She hugged Ben on her way out, but when Devon tried to hug her, feeling betrayed, she brushed him off.
At the Final Tribal Council, she asked Ryan why he didn't have any strategic conversations with her, and praised Chrissy's challenge performances. She voted for Chrissy who lost to Ben in a 5-2-1 vote.
