Ashley “Millionaire” Mitchell

Original Show: The Real World: Ex-Plosion

Best Placement: Winner (Invasion of the Champions & Final Reckoning)

Average Finish: 9.125

Elimination Record: 3–5

Most Memorable Moment: Keeping all the money on Final Reckoning

Ashley came on Final Reckoning as a mercenary with her ex Hunter and he talked down to her the whole season including threatening her life and her family. She made the absolute cold-blooded game move following in Banana’s footsteps and took the money. It was an iconic moment that is up there with the best ever in Challenge history.

Best Season: Final Reckoning

Ashley was a part of the dominant alliance that ran the game on Final Reckoning. They won a daily challenge and an elimination and were one of the two teams to make it to the final without reentering the game using the redemption house. She then won the final beating out her partner Hunter’s time and enabling her to get revenge for the horrible way he treated her all season by taking all the money for herself.

Worst Season: War of the Worlds

Ashley is the kind of player who tends to be very boom or bust depending on the season. Ashley has had some poor seasons like quitting night one on XXX: Dirty Thirty (when they lost her luggage) and losing to Dee early on Total Madness. However her worst season though was War of the Worlds she got an unremarkable partner in Chase from The Bachelorette. Then her biggest enemy Hunter was thrown into the first elimination and able to call her out in the first elimination where Hunter & Georgia took them out.

Allies: Amanda, CT, Kyle (maybe) Cory(maybe),Nelson (maybe)

Ashley finally has a definite ally this season which she has been lacking in her past few seasons, Amanda is Ashley’s friend outside of the show and they have worked together on every season they were on together. CT & Ashley have worked together frequently and if CT is going to go out of his way a little for somebody especially if they can potentially become partners and do a final together. Another potential ally is Kyle, since they hooked up back on Final Reckoning and were on the same side of the house last season. On the reunion for Double Agents Ashley spoke about her frustration with being an immediate targeted on the past few seasons by her supposed friends Nelson & Cory turning on her and calling her a snake Nelson apologized and with Amanda back I could definitely see the four of them link up like they have in the past. Both Nelson and Ashley went home early last season so working together for protection and numbers also could be a plan to prevent that from happening again.

Enemies: Nany, Aneesa, Fessy

Ashley’s biggest enemy coming in to this game is Nany. Nany hooked up with Hunter on War of the Worlds and ever since then been against Ashley, Nany always in an alliance with Bananas voting Ashley in on Total Madness, she was also part of the plan that sent Ashley home on Double Agents and most notably they were in opposing alliances on War of the Worlds 2 where Ashley took Nany out in the elimination right before the final. Other probable enemies for Ashley are Aneesa & Fessy , they made the move to throw Ashley & CT into the first elimination last season trying to get out a winner trying to get Wes vs CT, but since it was a women’s elimination round, Ashley ended up as collateral damage losing against a strong rookie Natalie in an elimination.

Ashley has gotten a reputation as a snake in the game after taking the money from Hunter. She is also a pretty good competitor particularly good at endurance and puzzles. She has been targeted early in recent seasons but Ashley is still an incredibly capable player as a two time champion and a finalist from War of the Worlds 2. It would be good if this can potentially be a bounce back season for her since she is absolutely perfect for reality tv. Ashley gives gold in confessionals, doesn’t hesitate to get into drama and will hook up in the house bringing those aspects to the show as well as her being a good player and decent strategist makes her one of my all time favorites and I am personally hoping that this is a bounce back season for Millionaire Mitchell.
