Hali Ford is a contestant from Survivor: Worlds Apart and Survivor: Game Changers.
In Worlds Apart, Hali displayed endearing personality quirks that allowed her to immediately form a bond with fellow free spirits Jenn Brown and Joe Anglim, with the three taking control of the Nagarote tribe. However, their Nagarote Alliance entered the merge down in numbers to the opposing Escameca Alliance and despite earning a reprieve after playing their Hidden Immunity Idol, the alliance failed to find a weak link who would flip from the Escameca Alliance. Although not seemingly in immediate danger, the target, Joe, won immunity, and Hali was eliminated as the first member of the jury.
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 found herself outside of the core alliances after the merge. While she was initially the secondary target, Cirie Fields and Zeke Smith turned the majority of the castaways against her. Ultimately, she became the first member of the jury yet again.

Hali was initially placed on the "No Collar" Nagarote tribe, wherein she quickly formed a bond with Jenn Brown. Her tribe won the first Immunity Challenge but lost the following one on Day 6. The two formed an alliance with Joe Anglim and decided to target Nina Poersch for complaining that she was deaf all the time when she did not need to. At Tribal Council, the votes were split between Jenn and Vince Sly. However, Will Sims II flipped to Hali's alliance and voted against Vince, and he was blindsided in a 3-2-1 vote, shocking 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. Nagarote won immunity on Day 11, keeping them safe from Tribal Council.
On Day 12, a tribe switch occurred and Hali remained on Nagarote, along with Jenn and Will. However, they lost their leader, Joe, and gained White Collars Carolyn Rivera, Max Dawson, and Shirin Oskooi from Masaya, and lone Blue Collar Kelly Remington from Escameca. The new Nagarote tribe was getting annoyed with Shirin and Max because they were always strategizing. After Nagarote lost the Immunity Challenge on Day 14, they debated which one of Shirin and Max to eliminate. They eventually decided to eliminate Max after Carolyn betrayed her fellow White Collars. They won immunity on Day 16 after the Blue Collars on Escameca threw the challenge to save Kelly.
On Day 17, the tribes merged into the Merica tribe. Hali and Jenn were happy to get Joe back in their alliance, and Shirin joined their side. Joe won the first post-merge immunity on Day 19. Before Tribal Council, Jenn told Hali that she had a Hidden Immunity Idol. At Tribal Council, Jenn played her idol, negating the seven votes cast against her and blindsiding Kelly in a 4-1-0 vote, which made Hali, Joe, and Shirin happy. However, this happiness was short-lived as the alliance was still down in numbers. On Day 22, Hali was targeted by the Escameca Alliance because Joe won immunity again. They tried to get Sierra Dawn Thomas on their side and targeted Dan Foley because of his misogynistic comments. Sierra was willing to flip if they could secure Tyler Fredrickson'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, making Hali the first member of the jury.
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. In the end, Hali voted for Mike Holloway, who won by a 6-1-1 jury vote.

Hali was initially placed on the Mana tribe. After Mana lost the first Immunity Challenge, Hali joined the majority in voting out Ciera Eastin. Mana again lost the subsequent Immunity Challenge and Hali aligned with Troyzan Robertson, Michaela Bradshaw, Jeff Varner, and Sandra Diaz-Twine who plotted to get Tony Vlachos out for causing paranoia around camp. At Tribal Council, Tony was voted out after even his own allies, Aubry Bracco, Caleb Reynolds, and Malcolm Freberg, turned on him.
Both Hali and Caleb remained on Mana after the tribe switch on Day 7 and were joined by original Nuku members 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. When 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, and the losing tribes, Mana and Nuku, had to go to a Joint Tribal Council and vote out one member instead of two. At Tribal Council, Hali plotted with her original Mana tribemates now on Nuku, Aubry, Jeff, Malcolm, Michaela, and Sandra, about blindsiding Brad. However, she ended up sticking with her group when it came down to it, and Malcolm was blindsided after Tai gave a Hidden Immunity Idol to Sierra. Hali, along with Brad and Sierra, remained on Mana after the second tribe switch and were joined by Aubry, Michaela, Troyzan, and Cirie Fields. Hali and Michaela appeared to be on the outs, but they were saved as Mana won the next two Immunity Challenges.
The tribes merged into the Maku Maku tribe on Day 19. Hali and Michaela became the targets for being outsiders as the two major alliances, the Power Six and the Tavua Alliance, banded together. While Hali was originally the secondary target, Cirie and Zeke Smith managed to turn the vote on her to save Michaela, who they felt they could work with more. 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, Hali questioned Brad for insinuating that he had used condescension as a strategy. She voted for Sarah Lacina to win, which she did in a 7-3-0 vote over Brad and Troyzan.
