Reed Kelly
The theatrical Hunahpu showman who found his game after Josh fell and delivered an unforgettable jury speech.
Known for
Reed arrived in San Juan del Sur paired with boyfriend Josh Canfield, and the two were split onto opposite tribes. He was on Hunahpu, a tribe that mostly won, and after the swap reunited him with Josh he helped power more victories. He was also the one who begged Jeff Probst for more rice, which cost Hunahpu all its rewards. At the merge, Jon Misch and Jaclyn Schultz flipped and Josh was gone.
On his own, Reed got aggressive. He rifled through Keith Nale's bag and found idol instructions, gave up a reward to Missy Payne to set up a blindside of Jon, and won a key immunity. Then Keith's slip tipped Jon off, both idols came out, and Wes Nale went home instead. After Reed called Baylor Wilson a brat and failed to pull Jon and Jaclyn over, he was voted out unanimously. At Final Tribal he cast Missy as a fairy-tale wicked stepmother, then voted for Jaclyn to push Missy into third.
