Survivor: Redemption Island
Ashley was a member of the Ometepe tribe. Within the first 3 days, she found herself as a member of the successful Stealth R Us alliance consisting of herself, Natalie Tenerelli, Matt Elrod, Grant Mattos, Andrea Boehlke, and returning player Rob Mariano (Phillip Sheppard would join later on in the game). The alliance dominated the pre-merge stage of the game with their only loss being Matt, due to his growing relationship with Andrea and his act of shaking the hands of Zapatera members after their victory at the second Immunity Challenge. Ashley also had a very strained relationship with Phillip Sheppard, who she found annoying, but despite this, the two still worked together in the game. Over time, her relationship with Natalie began to grow, much to the concern of her ally Rob. Ashley also proved to be a challenge threat, as she managed to throw Rob's plans to get rid of her into a tailspin after she won two consecutive Individual Immunity challenges at the Final 6 and Final 5 stages of the game. However, Ashley lost the Final and most important Immunity Challenge in the game. Expecting Phillip to get the boot at the Final 4, Ashley was blindsided and betrayed by her closest allies, Rob and Natalie, in a 3-1 vote. At the Final Tribal Council, all of the finalists were lambasted by a very bitter Ashley. In the end, she voted Rob to win the title of Sole Survivor and Survivor: Redemption Island.
