==''Survivor''==
In 2007, Jones auditioned for the reality competition show ''[[Survivor: Micronesia|Survivor: Micronesia — Fans vs. Favorites]]''. Although she had missed the deadline for auditioning, she begged producers to meet with her in hopes of getting on the show that season.<ref name=aas/> She was ultimately cast as one of the 20 players competing on ''Fans vs. Favorites'', which aired in the Spring of 2008.
Jones was initially placed on the Airai tribe, which consisted of ten brand new players, or "Fans;" while the opposing tribe, Malakal, consisted of ten returning players, or "Favorites." She remained on Airai even during the tribal switch on Day 12. Prior to the Day 22 merge, she became part of a Final Four alliance with fellow Fan Natalie Bolton, new Airai tribemate [[Parvati Shallow]], and Favorite [[Amanda Kimmel]]. Favorite [[Cirie Fields]] later joined this alliance, which would come to be known as the "Black Widow Brigade."
On Day 31, Jones won the Loved Ones reward challenge, which allowed her to take a trip to [[Jellyfish Lake]] with her brother Nathan; she invited Fields and her husband, and Bolton and her mother, to come along as well.<ref>{{cite web|title=Season 16: Episode 12 - A MEDICAL EVACUATION AND A BLINDSIDE: TWO MORE SURVIVORS GO TO THE JURY|url=http://www.cbs.com/shows/survivor/episodes/15929/|website=CBS.com|publisher=CBS, Inc.|accessdate=July 14, 2011}}</ref> Jones also got to send another castaway to Exile Island, and when Kimmel volunteered to be exiled, Jones obliged. But while she was on the reward, Kimmel found a clue on Exile Island to the whereabouts of a hidden immunity idol.
When Jones got back to camp, she and her alliance plotted to vote out Erik Reichenbach, the last male castaway remaining following the medical evacuation of James Clement earlier in the day. On Day 33, though, Reichenbach would win immunity, for the second straight time, meaning that the Black Widow Brigade would have to vote out one of its own that night. A majority of the alliance, including Jones, decided to target Kimmel after learning that she did not find the idol on Exile Island. But at Tribal Council, Kimmel surprised everyone by playing a hidden immunity idol, which cancelled all four votes against her. As it turned out, Kimmel, with the help of Shallow, found the idol ''after'' telling her alliance that she hadn't found it. The idol was hidden at camp, per Kimmel's Exile Island clue. As a result, Kimmel was safe, and since Jones received the only other two elimination votes, it was Jones who ended up being voted out in sixth place, as the fifth member of the jury.
At the Final Tribal Council, Kimmel and Shallow were the two remaining finalists. During the jury questioning, Jones asked Shallow to explain why the latter might be better suited than Kimmel to be a role model for young girls. Jones also asked Kimmel to identify a part of Kimmel’s game that was genuine. In the end, Jones cast her vote for Shallow to win Sole Survivor.
==Other works==
Jones once served as a life coach on the [[MTV]] show ''[[Made (TV series)|MADE]]''.<ref name=tedx /> She has also contributed articles to the [[Huffing<!--and Puffing-->ton Post]]. In 2014, she released a book, inspired by her Web site; the book's [[foreword]] was written by her sorority sister, actress [[Sophia Bush]].<ref name=aas /> Jones was also an executive producer on the documentary film ''A Brave Heart: The Lizzie Velasquez Story'', about fellow motivational speaker [[Lizzie Velásquez]]'s struggles with body-shaming. The film had its [[world premiere]] at [[SXSW]] on March 14, 2015.<ref>{{cite web|title=SXSW Schedule - A Brave Heart: The Lizzie Velasquez Story|url=http://schedule.sxsw.com/2015/2015/events/event_FS17788|website=South by Southwest Conference & Festival|publisher=SXSW, LLC|accessdate=April 21, 2017}}</ref> Six days later, Jones herself was featured on an episode of [[TLC (network)|TLC]]'s ''[[Say Yes to the Dress]]'', where she picked out the dress for her forthcoming wedding to former [[Texas Longhorns men's basketball|University of Texas men's basketball]] star [[Brad Buckman]],<ref>{{cite episode|title=Breaking the Bank|series=Say Yes to the Dress|network=[[TLC (network)|TLC]]|date=March 20, 2013}}</ref> a childhood friend whom she had known since the age of ten, and with whom she had recently reconnected.
==Personal life==
In 2012, Jones' father was diagnosed with cancer. Upon hearing the news, she immediately returned home to Austin to take care of him. In 2014, Jones learned that her father's cancer was in remission.<ref name=aas />

On March 20, 2016, Jones and her mother were traveling in their car through the streets of [[Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]], when some men in another vehicle next to them got their attention while stopped at an intersection. The women thought that these men were yelling vulgarities and making [[obscene gestures]] to them, so Jones took out her phone and snapped some pictures of the men just before they drove away from the scene. After posting these photos on [[Instagram]], in hopes of getting someone to identify who the men were, two of them were identified as professional basketball stars [[Jordan Clarkson]] and [[Nick Young (basketball)|Nick Young]] of the [[Los Angeles Lakers]].<ref name=ocr>{{cite news|last1=Oram|first1=Bill|title=Lakers looking into harassment claim against Jordan Clarkson, Nick Young|url=http://www.ocregister.com/2016/03/21/lakers-looking-into-harassment-claim-against-jordan-clarkson-nick-young/|accessdate=April 18, 2017|work=[[Orange County Register]]|publisher=[[Southern California News Group]]|date=March 21, 2016}}</ref> Once the team looked into the incident and was able to speak with Jones, Clarkson, and Young, the Lakers concluded that all parties involved had come up with "different interpretations" of what happened on the night in question.
