Simone Nguyen is a contestant from Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers.
Coming into the game with little outdoor experience, Simone had difficulty finding her footing in the game, and as a result, was seen as a social recluse. When her tribe lost the second Immunity Challenge, Simone and the erratic Patrick Bolton were both put on the chopping block. Despite her continuous efforts to prove her worth, the tribe agreed to keep strength over loyalty, sending Simone home in a 5-1 vote.

Survivor[]
Simone was placed on the "Hustler" Yawa tribe at the beginning of the season for her life story as an immigrant who has had to overcome adversity without giving up.[2] On Day 4, Simone celebrated her triumph over the outdoors in spite of her inexperience in the wild. Ali Elliott approached Simone and complimented her work ethic in order to lure Simone in as a potential ally. Yawa then lost the Immunity Challenge on Day 6 partly due to Simone's inability to assist with the puzzle. At camp, Simone tried to convince the tribe to go after Patrick Bolton for his unpredictability. Nonetheless, at Tribal Council, Simone was voted out in a unanimous 5-1 vote, as the tribe decided to keep challenge strength over loyalty.
