Matthew Wyatt Elrod (born October 2, 1988), better known as Wyatt Nash, is an American television personality and actor. Under his birth name, he was a contestant on the 22nd season of the American competitive reality television series, Survivor. Following his appearance on Survivor: Redemption Island, he chose to adopt the name Wyatt Nash (his middle name plus Nash for his birth city, Nashville) as his stage name. Most recently, Nash has appeared as Nigel Wright on the ABC Family series, Pretty Little Liars, and the upcoming Lifetime television adaptation of V. C. Andrews's Petals on the Wind, portraying the character of Christopher.

Survivor: Redemption Island

As Matt Elrod, he was one of the season's 16 new contestants. He began the game on the Ometepe tribe alongside seven other new contestants and Survivor veteran Rob Mariano. Elrod was initially part of Mariano's majority alliance. However, Mariano noticed Elrod bonding with fellow alliance member Andrea Boehlke; after Elrod shook hands with members of the rival Zapatera tribe following a challenge, Mariano plotted to eliminate Elrod. On Day 6, Elrod was voted off by his alliance, sending him to Redemption Island where he had to compete in challenges in order to return to the game.

After defeating six consecutive opponents, Elrod returned to the game on Day 19, joining the newly-merged Murlonio tribe with six former Ometepe members and five former Zapatera members. The minority Zapatera alliance courted Elrod and Boehlke to join them to eliminate Mariano; after Elrod told Mariano about the Zapateras' offer, Mariano and his alliance—Boehlke included—voted against Elrod, and he was sent back to Redemption Island. Elrod continued to win duels, but lost the final duel on Day 36, which Boehlke won. Elrod finished in 7th place, and was the 6th member of the jury to determine the winner. Elrod voted to Mariano to win the game, which he did. Elrod was offer to return for Survivor's 26th season, Survivor: Caramoan, but declined.
