Jessica Johnston isn't afraid to mix business with pleasure on Season 35 of Survivor dubbed Survivor: Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers.

Jessica is a 29-year-old nurse practitioner from Cape Girardeau, MO, who currently resides in Louisville, KY. She started off the season as a member of the Healers tribe called "Soko," but a recent swap left her on the "Yawa" tribe with a mix of Healers, Hustlers and Heroes.

Jessica's new tribe advantageously features two more original Healers -- her love interest Cole Medders and her close and trustworthy ally Mike "Dr. Mike" Zahalsky. Jessica has a huge crush on Cole, but he has disappointed her a couple of times by spilling her secrets.

Jessica is playing to win, so she may gather the courage to cut Cole loose, especially since his behavior is annoying other castaways as well. It will be interesting to see whether Jessica sticks with Cole through thick and thin or decides to advance on her own.
