Hali Ford is a contestant from Survivor: Worlds Apart and Survivor: Game Changers.
She is remembered for her time in Worlds Apart likeability and endearing personality quirks, including her enthusiasm for American symbols and the U.S. Constitution. She was a core member of the Nagarote Alliance that was ultimately outmaneuvered by the Escameca Alliance after the merge, resulting in her elimination.
Returning in Game Changers, Hali vowed to change her game entirely to advance her further. However, due to poor luck and inability to get into the original Nuku stronghold, Hali became the underdog at the start of the merge. While she was initially the secondary target at the start of the merge, Cirie Fields and Zeke Smith turned the majority of the castaways on her. Ultimately, she became the first member of the jury yet again.

Worlds Apart
Hali was on the Nagarote (no collar tribe), on which she quickly formed a bond with Jenn Brown. Her tribe won the first Immunity Challenge so they avoided Tribal Council on Day 3. However, they lost on Day 6. After the challenge they formed an alliance with Joe Anglim, and decided to target Nina Poersch for complaining that she was deaf all the time when she didn't need too. At Tribal Council, the votes were split between Jenn and Vince Sly. However, Will Sims flipped to Hali's alliance and voted against Vince, he was blindsided in a 3-2-1 vote which shocked everyone. After losing immunity on Day 8, while Hali and Nina voted against Will to split the vote, the rest of her tribemates eliminated Nina. However, the no collars won immunity on Day 11 keeping them safe from Tribal Council. On Day 12, a tribe switch occurred. They lost their leader Joe and gained White collars Carolyn Rivera, Max Dawson, and Shirin Oskooi and blue collar Kelly Remington. The new no collar tribe lost the Immunity Challenge on Day 14. The tribe was getting annoyed with Shirin and Max because they were always strategizing so they were deciding which one of them they should eliminate. They eventually decided to eliminate Max. Carolyn betrayed her alliance with Shirin and Max and joined Hali and the others. At Tribal Council, Max was blindsided. They won immunity on Day 16 after the blue collars threw the challenge.
On Day 17, the tribes merged. Hali and Jenn were happy to get Joe back in their alliance and Shirin joined their side. Joe won immunity on Day 19. Before Tribal Council, Jenn told Hali she had the Hidden Immunity Idol. At Tribal Council, Jenn played her idol negating the seven votes cast against her blindsiding Kelly in a 4-1-0 vote which made Hali, Joe, and Shirin happy. On Day 22, Hali was targeted by the blue collar alliance because Joe won immunity. They tried to get Sierra on their side and then targeted Dan because of his misogynistic comments. Sierra was willing to flip if they could secure Tyler's vote to reach the majority of six. However, at Tribal Council, Sierra and Tyler stuck with their alliance and Hali was blindsided in a 7-4 vote which shocked her and her alliance.
At the Final Tribal Council, Hali asked Carolyn how her role as a mother disadvantaged her in the game and Carolyn explained that she fought hard despite being much older than most of the other castaways. At the end, Hali voted for Mike who won by a 6-1-1 jury vote.

Game Changers
Hali started on Mana. Mana lost the first immunity challenge. At Tribal Council, Hali joined the majority in voting out Ciera Eastin. Mana lost the second immunity challenge. Hali, Troyzan Robertson, and Sandra Diaz-Twine plotted to get Tony Vlachos out. Tony was voted out at the subsequent tribal council. Both Hali and Caleb Reynolds remained on Mana after the Tribe Switch and were joined by Nuku's Brad Culpepper, Debbie Wanner, Tai Trang, and her fellow Worlds Apart castmate Sierra Dawn Thomas. Both Hali and Caleb appeared to be on the outs. While Mana lost immunity on Day 9, Hali was spared when the majority voted out Caleb. With Caleb gone, Hali was the target. On Day 11, Tavua won immunity, but the losing tribes (Nuku and Mana) had to go to a Joint Tribal Council and vote out one member instead of two. At Tribal Council, Hali plotted with Nuku about blindsiding Brad, however, she ended up sticking with her group when it came down to it, and her former Mana tribe mate who was now on Nuku Malcolm Freberg was blindsided after Tai played a Hidden Immunity Idol on Sierra. She, along with Brad and Sierra, remained on Mana after the second tribe switch. However, Hali and Michaela Bradshaw appeared to be on the outs.
Hali, along with Troyzan, Michaela, and Aubry Bracco were the only original Mana members to reach the merge. Hali and Michaela became the targets for being the outsiders. While Hali was originally the secondary target, Cirie Fields and Zeke Smith managed to turn the vote on her. At Tribal Council, Hali was blindsided. She finished in 13th place, and became the first member of the jury again.
At the Final Tribal Council, she voted for Sarah Lacina to win which she did in a 7-3-0 vote for Brad and Troyzan.
