Noelle Lambert is a contestant from Survivor 43.
After her ally Justine Brennan was blindsided at her first Tribal Council, Noelle scrambled to ingratiate herself into the Vesi majority. After successfully campaigning against Nneka Ejere, Noelle made it to the merge, where history repeated itself when another of her allies, Dwight Moore was eliminated. Despite deftly using her Vote Steal to blindside James Jones, Noelle's threat level left her unable to make any effective alliances as she was blindsided herself on Day 19.

3 Words to Describe You: Tenacious, outgoing, determined
Pet Peeve(s): Lazy people, slow drivers and phony people.
What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? After my leg was amputated in 2016, I never let it define me. I returned playing Division 1 Lacrosse, and in just two years, I made the Tokyo Paralympic Track & Field team and set a new American record in the 100-meter dash.
What is something we would never know from looking at you? Something people don't think when they see me is that I am a tremendous athlete. What a lot of people see when they look at me is my prosthetic, and they feel sorry for me and doubt my capabilities. And that is their first mistake.
Who is your hero and why? My mom. She is my best friend, my motivation and everything I aspire to be. She is the most selfless and caring person I know, and I would not be where I am today if it wasn't for her.
Which past Survivor will you play the game most like? I would like to play a similar game as Kelley Wentworth on her second season. Her tribe mates didn't think she was a big threat, but she found Hidden Immunity Idols and created blindsides to further herself in the game.
Why do you believe you can be the Sole Survivor? I have the ability to form friendships easily, and I will use that to my advantage to go far in the game. I am also good at strategizing and adapting to an ever-changing environment, and I am willing to do whatever it takes to make it to the end. If you present me the impossible, I will overcome it.[2]
