Hayden was a castaway who appeared on Survivor: Blood vs. Water alongside his then-girlfriend at the time, Kat Edorsson from Survivor: One World.
He was on the Tadhana tribe and quickly joined the Five Guys alliance led by Brad and consisting on John, himself, Vytas, Caleb, and non-guy Ciera. He joined the others in voting for the loved ones of the biggest threats on the other tribe, such as Marissa and Rachel. He joined the the blindside of his own ally by voting for John. His allies grew concerned with Ciera, while others had it with Brad. The votes tied between Brad and Ciera, with Hayden staying loyal, even during the revote to no avail. During a tribe swap, Hayden remained on the new Tadhana tribe, which went on an immunity run. Hayden made the merge, where he stayed loyal to Caleb and Katie. Although Tyson’s alliance was in the majority, Hayden was instrumental in getting Ciera to flip to their side and force a tie between himself and Monica. During the revotes, nobody switched, causing Hayden himself and Monica to be immune from the vote. This led others to draw rocks and his plan backfired, when his ally Katie drew the purple rock, sending her to RI. He soon would follow her out of the game, getting voted out on Day 36. He lost his first and only Duel, becoming the 5th jury member, and he voted for Tyson. After the show, he and Kat broke up, confirming her fears that Hayden wouldn’t date someone who didn’t make the jury.
Hayden originally made it to the final rounds of the Survivor: Nicaragua casting, only to be cut. He was instead replaced by Fabio Birza, the eventual winner. Producers took a liking to him though and he was cast on Big Brother 12 instead, where he went on to win the show thanks to his loyal Brigade alliance. He became the second reality star to appear on Survivor after their original show, following Nashville star contestant Whitney Duncan. Hayden was one of many considered to be in the voting pool for Survivor: Cambodia – Second Chances, but he was ultimately was cut.
