Kelly Shinn

Kelly Shinn is one of the most invisible players ever, coming in second with the least amount of confessionals with just five in 11 (not including the recap) Episodes and four of them appeared in her final episode in which she quit along with NaOnka Mixon.

Nicaragua
Kelly S. was dubbed "Purple Kelly" and was on the younger La Flor tribe. In Episode 2, she alligned with Brenda and friends, and contributed towards Shannon's elimination. In Episode 5, Kelly S. remained on La Flor just like Brenda, Fabio, Kelly B., and Sash. Kelly S. continued to do little else but vote with Brenda and Sash.

Kelly S. made the merge in Episode 8 as part of the final 12. Kelly S. overall had a weak individual performance during challenges at this point. But she won a trip to a volcano in Nicaragua in Episode 10 with Fabio, NaOnka, Chase, and Jane. Kelly S. was left in the dark during that tribal council as she was the only one that didn't vote off Brenda or NaOnka-instead voting against Benry.

In Episode 11, the rain made Kelly S. weak once again, and Fabio tried to comfort her. After she, Fabio, Sash, and Jane lost the reward challenge, Kelly S. wanted to quit, along with NaOnka. Jeff denied their request until tribal council that night, giving her time to think over her desicion. Many players expressed how they didn't want anyone to quit, especially Holly, who told Kelly S. that her daughter wanted to quit cross country but she didn't let her, saying that if she started she should finish, and her daughter became good at that. But that wasn't enough to persuade her as Kelly S. still ended up quitting after NaOnka, getting reactions from three upset jury members: Alina, Marty, and Brenda. Since Kelly S. decided to quit after NaOnka, she technically got 8th place. She became the 5th member of the jury, which sparked controversy amongst fans.
