Kelley Wentworth

Kelley Wentworth is a contestant from and.

San Juan del Sur
Name: Kelley Wentworth (28)

Tribe Designation: Hunahpu

Relationship to Significant Castaway: Dale’s daughter

Current Residence: Seattle, Wash.

Occupation: Marketing Manager

Personal Claim to Fame: Moving out of a small town with very little opportunity of “making it” on my own. I’ve never asked for money or help and moved my way up to the position I’m in now. I’ll never stop trying!

Inspiration in Life: My grandparents (on my dad’s side). They are two of the toughest, hardest working people I’ve ever been around. My grandpa was in World War II and my grandma was a nurse. They moved to Washington to start a farm from scratch. They are still alive and are more active than most 80 year olds should be!

Hobbies: Soccer, jigsaw puzzles and kicking everyone’s butt at Scrabble (or any other board game for that matter).

Pet Peeves: Lazy people, overconfidence, not sticking to your word, bad drivers and angry people (get over it already!)

3 Words to Describe You: Competitive, reliable and stubborn.

If You Could Have 3 Things on The Island What Would They Be and Why? 1) A book because I would want something to do in my free time 2) Picture of my mom because she’s my best friend 3) A journal so I could write down my experiences

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Parvati Shallow – she’s a strong, intelligent woman who did what she had to do to get to the top.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: To win of course!! I’d also like to prove to myself and my dad that I can do it. To push myself and never give up in the toughest situations.

Why You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: I grew up on a farm so I’ve seen and done it all. I’ve fed cows, cleaned up poop, driven a tractor, hauled fire wood and the list goes on. I’m also very competitive and would never give up in a challenge.

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole Survivor: I’m competitive and I’ll never back down. I’ll always keep trying to move to the next step and I’m not afraid to fib a little or hurt people to be at the top. Everything I’ve ever tried to do in life I’ve succeeded so I know I can do this too.

What Does It Mean to You to Play Survivor with Your Loved One? There is no perfect word to describe how it would be to play Survivor with my Dad. We've had many ups and downs over the past few years and I would love for this unique opportunity to improve our Father/Daughter bond. He is truly the only person I would want to do this with!

Cambodia
Season: Previous Finish: 14th place What will you do differently this time around? "In Blood vs. Water II, I had to consider my dad with every move and that made me hesitant to say and do what I really wanted. When you're playing for two people, you can't play strategically because you're worried about your partner getting caught in the line of fire. This time there is no partner—so bring on the fire! My strategic game will be 100 percent different!"

Survivor: San Juan del Sur
Kelley entered the game with her father Dale Wentworth, and was placed on the Hunahpu tribe. Due to Hunahpu winning most of the Immunity Challenges, Kelley remained safe for the first nine days. However on Day 10, Drew Christy threw the Immunity Challenge for Hunahpu with the goal of voting Kelley out, considering her a threat. At camp, Drew openly plotted against Kelley, even campaigning to vote her out while she stood a few feet away. Shocked by this, Kelley joined with the rest of the women to vote Drew out, blindsiding him in a 5-2-1-1 vote.

The next day a Tribe Switch occurred, sending Kelley to Coyopa where she was reunited with her father, Dale. Conflicts quickly emerged between Dale and Missy Payne over her liberal cooking of the tribe's carefully conserved rice supply, forcing Kelley to play "peacemaker" to try and avoid Dale from being voted out. When Coyopa lost the following Immunity Challenge, Kelley and her father attempted to persuade Jaclyn Schultz and Jon Misch to align with them and vote out Missy's daughter Baylor Wilson. Unfortunately for her, Jon and Jaclyn sided with Missy and Baylor, helping them split the vote between Kelley and Dale. In the end, Kelley was voted out by a vote of 3-2-2.

Survivor: Cambodia
