Known for

Kelley's first season was a quiet one. She played San Juan del Sur alongside her father Dale, was targeted early by Drew Christy for knowing the game too well, and after the switch landed on Coyopa with Dale, Missy Payne and Baylor Wilson. Jaclyn Schultz and Jon Misch held the swing votes, and they sided against her.

Fans voted her into Cambodia anyway, and she made them look smart. At the final twelve she idoled out Andrew Savage. At the final six she and Jeremy Collins both played idols, voiding every vote cast and forcing a vote restart, the first null vote the show had seen. That scrappy, risk-happy run made her a fan favorite. In Edge of Extinction she spent most of the game with a target she could never shake, and it finally caught up with her.
