Given her vivacious personality, fans have continued to wonder more about the reality star and her latest whereabouts. So, if you’re wondering the same, look no further because we’ve got all the information right here!
Hayley-Smith Rose’s Surviving Paradise Journey
After her dreams of spending the summer of a lifetime were crushed, Hayley adapted to the situation and started creating a pathway for survival. Initially, she held back from leaping into an alliance and forging verbal bonds with other members. Given her approach, other participants tried to take stock of the situation and tried to win her over to their side. While Aaron hoped that Hayley would join team TAJ (Tabitha, Aaron, and Justin) out of collective reliance, Lellies tried to win her over by opening up about her gameplay.
Ultimately, Hayley’s reluctance to side with either end meant that she didn’t get into the villa from the get-go. It wasn’t until Sisco and Shea managed to succeed in the fishing challenge that an opportunity arose. After Aaron, Sisco, and Shea collectively decided to send the girls to the villa, Hayley got a chance to enjoy the unmatched grandeur of the villa. Having won the trust of everyone aboard, she secured her position as an insider consistently. Even in a major reshuffle, she heartbreakingly offered Shea a spot in the villa, given the number of sacrifices he made for others. However, the latter refused and let Hayley stay inside.
Even as the finals neared, her good-hearted nature became a contributing factor and allowed her to remain an insider. In the final survival game, she and Copan were teamed up and left to pick a person between them who’d return to the camp. The catch was that if they failed to come up with a single name, both of them would face elimination. Even at this pivotal juncture, Copan readily left his spot to ensure Hayley continued to have a stake in the competition as an insider. Alas, the tables turned when Linda chose to eliminate her from the villa. Albeit sad that Linda couldn’t save her in the name of girl power, Hayley still rejoiced to see her friend Shea advance to the finals.

Besides this, fans can even hear her break down Y2K culture and what it’s like to grow up in Nashua in her podcast ‘Fever Dream Diaries.’ Hayley co-hosts the podcast with her lifelong best friend, Becca Howard.
