Kimmi Kappenberg
The loud, proud vegetarian from Kucha who came back years later as a genuine schemer.
Known for
Kimmi arrived in the Australian Outback talking at full volume and never turned it down. On Kucha she refused to eat the cow brain in the gross-food challenge, then gleefully downed a mangrove worm to beat Tina Wesson in the tiebreaker and win immunity. She hauled and boiled the tribe's water, but the chickens Kucha won pushed her vegetarian principles too far, and her finger-wagging clash with Alicia Calaway became an early classic. When Kucha's winning streak finally broke, her tribe sent her packing 6-1.
Cambodia's fan vote brought her back, and she played with real edge. She tucked in with Jeremy Collins and Stephen Fishbach, tipped them off to Monica Padilla's women's-alliance pitch, and reached a merge for the first time. Late in the game, fearing she was Jeremy's fourth wheel, she plotted with Keith Nale and Kelley Wentworth to take him out. Two idols wiped out every vote, Jeremy learned she had flipped, and the tribe reached a consensus to send her to the jury.
