Kelly Wiglesworth
The river guide whose conscience broke the first alliance, and whose immunity run nearly beat it.
Known for
Kelly helped found the Tagi Alliance in Borneo alongside Richard Hatch, Susan Hawk and Rudy Boesch, and it steamrolled Pagong after the merge. Then her conscience started talking. She drifted from the bloc to vote her own way, the alliance marked her, and she answered by winning the final four immunity challenges in a row to drag herself to the end. At the final four tie she flipped her revote onto Susan, and at the last vote she cut Rudy as the bigger jury threat. Susan's rats-and-snakes speech followed, and Richard took the title 4-3.
Fans voted her into Cambodia, where she played a quiet, loyal, old-school game through two tribe swaps and linked up with the Bayon Alliance at the merge. Her bond with Joe Anglim made her a stand-in target on a night he wore immunity, and Stephen Fishbach organized her blindside. On the jury she asked the finalists to pick a number from 1 to 10, the same question that had once cost her a vote.
