Kelley Wentworth

Kelley Wentworth (often referred to as Wentworth in her second season) is a contestant from and.

Daughter of Dale Wentworth, Kelley was one of the quieter castaways of San Juan del Sur. She was in a strong position in the Hunahpu tribe until the tribe switch, which sent her to the rival Coyopa tribe to be with her father. Believed to be a bigger threat than her father Dale, she was voted out.

Voted by the public to return in Cambodia, Wentworth assumed a more aggressive approach to the game, finding and successfully using a Hidden Immunity Idol to blindside Andrew Savage. After finding her second idol, she managed to save herself for a second time before being voted out a day before the Final Tribal Council.

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 prevent 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
Kelley was one of twenty castaways chosen by the public to return to compete on the second chance season, Survivor: Cambodia.

Originally assigned to the weaker of the two starting tribes, Ta Keo, Kelley began the game with the resolve to make it further in the game than in her original season. This showed when she went on an idol hunt in the first episode, eventually finding the clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol. She mustered the courage to grab the idol from the Immunity Challenge before her tribe lost and went to Tribal Council, where she joined the "new-school" half of her tribe in blindsiding Vytas Baskauskas (who she was not fond of).

Her tribe went on to lose the next Immunity Challenge. Dissension within the tribe allowed Terry Deitz to take control of the tribe, causing two members, Spencer Bledsoe and Shirin Oskooi, of the "New-School" group, to be placed on the chopping block. Kelley joined her tribe in splitting its votes between the two, and Shirin was voted out.

The next day brought a new twist, as two tribes split into three. Kelley remained on the Ta Keo tribe, which would go on to excel in the three-tribe challenges. Kelley had formed a tight bond with ex-Bayon members on her tribe, while consistently trying to push Terry, an outsider, under the bus. Terry ultimately pulled himself from the game to accompany his son before the second tribe switch (where three dissolved to two), where Kelley moved to Bayon. Once again, her tribe managed to win the Immunity Challenge. The merge came on the following day with thirteen castaways remaining. Kelley along with Abi-Maria Gomes, Kelly Wiglesworth and Spencer were the only original Ta Keo's to make it to the merge. Kelley formed a bond with three women from the third revision of Ta Keo, namely Abi, Ciera Eastin, and Kass McQuillen. While Ciera and Kass wreaked havoc within Orkun, accusing Tasha Fox of duplicity, Kelley sat back and calculated her next moves. Fearing that she may find herself at the bottom, she joined the majority alliance in splitting votes between troublemakers Ciera and Kass, with Kass being voted out.

Though she stuck with the majority, Kelley was far from safe. The Bayon Alliance had already put her name up in the air as a strategic threat. At the next Tribal Council, the entire tribe was surprised when Kelley played her Hidden Immunity Idol, negating a record nine votes and blindsiding Andrew Savage.

Despite still being on the bottom, she kept on surviving due to the majority alliance turning on each other several times. She was also able to find her second hidden immunity idol. However, Ciera was blindsided at the final 10, and Abi in the final 7. After Spencer won immunity at the final 6, Kimmi Kappenberg plotted with her and Keith to blindside Jeremy Collins. At tribal council, Spencer said that he, Jeremy and Tasha are voting together. Spencer then told Kelley that she was safe. Not wanting to take a chance Kelley played her idol and then Jeremy played his. There idols negated the three votes cast against them so the castways had to vote again. The second ballot was a tie between Kimmi and Tasha. Then Jeff asked Keith, Kelley, Spencer and Jeremy if they want to change their voted and they all said no. Jeff then told them that would have two minutes to decide if they are sending Kimmi or Tasha home, or else Kimmi and Tasha would become immune and Keith would be eliminated by default. Keith volunteered to go home, but Kelley was able to talk him out of it. Kimmi was eliminated. Kelley won the final five Immunity Challenge. After the challenge, Kelley made a fake idol and gave it to Keith to try and trick the others into keeping them. However, their plan did not work and Keith was voted out in a 3-2 vote. At the Final Immunity Challenge, Kelley was out first and this frustrated her. Jeremy ended up winning. At Tribal Council, Kelley campaigned against Spencer. Then, Spencer warned Jeremy that if he voted him out, he would vote for Kelley to win and sway the jury to vote for her, so she was voted out unanimously. She came in 4th place and was the 10th and final juror.

At the Final Tribal Council, Kelley asked the finalists what their second chance was about and if they had achieved it. Tasha said that hers was about building better relationships with her allies, Spencer said that his was maturing from Cagayan, and Jeremy said that he was doing it for his family, including his unborn son, and that he struggled with keeping his wife's pregnancy a secret for the entire game. Ultimately, Kelley joined the rest of the jury in voting for Jeremy, who won in a unanimous 10-0-0 vote.

Voting History
In You Call, We'll Haul, Kelley used a Hidden Immunity Idol, negating 9 votes against her. In Lie, Cheat and Steal, Kelley used a Hidden Immunity Idol, negating 3 votes against her. Also, Jeremy used a Hidden Immunity Idol, negating Kelley's vote against him. Because Jeremy and Kelley both used Hidden Immunity Idols and negated all the votes cast at Tribal Council, a vote restart was held, and both gained individual immunity. This vote ended with a 3-3 tie between Kimmi and Tasha, forcing a revote. Kelley voted for Kimmi on the revote.
