Russell and Rob aren't the only ones competing on 'Survivor: Redemption Island.' If Ashley Underwood, a former Miss USA contestant from Maine, has anything to say about it, she'll be the one to outwit, outplay and outlast on 'Survivor' season 22.

Underwood may already be tabbed as yet another former pageant contestant roughing it on 'Survivor' (she was named SI.com's "Lovely Lady of the Day" this week), but the 26-year-old former college basketball star has made it clear she's a "tough girl" at heart.

"I wanted whichever tribe I was on to view me as an asset, someone who would help in the challenges, even though I'm a woman, a young girl," Underwood told the Portland Press Herald. I want them to know I'm a basketball player and that I know how to work hard. I wanted to be the strong, athletic girl and be seen as someone who could really help."
