Kelly Czarnecki describes herself as a leader by nature. And though she has worked for everything she has, she'll also be the first tell you that "she gets what she wants and does what she wants." Don't be fooled by her girl-next-door looks Czarnecki is a mid-western spitfire who loves the outdoors. Called adventurous and ambitious by her friends, this one-time cheerleader always finishes what she starts because to her there's always a reward at the end.

Hailing from Buffalo Grove, Ill., Kelly has three brothers who have helped make her both physically and mentally tough. In her free time, Czarnecki loves to camp, hike and canoe. She describes herself as an energetic strong minded achiever for which self-confidence is not a issue. This fashionista can be found at the gym at least five times a week and is skilled in kickboxing, yoga and Pilates. Although most of Kelly's time is spent focusing on her career goals, she is a self-proclaimed "denim expert," and hopes to one day open her own clothing store.

Aside from studying fashion marketing at the Illinois Institute of Art, Kelly is also the sales manager at one of the top retail boutiques in Chicago. Czarnecki claims "she is a hell of a salesperson and can talk anyone into anything," although she also wants them to feel good about their purchase. She believes it is those leadership skills she's received from her job and schooling that has prepared her for SURVIVOR.

Survivor: Gabon
Kelly started off at the Kota tribe. She was seen as one of the weakest members of tribe, along with her best friend and closet ally Paloma Soto-Castillo. When Kota lost their first Immunity Challenge, Paloma was targeted. Kelly ran a campaign to vote out Ace Gordon but was unsuccessful. After Paloma was eliminated, Kelly was left alone with no ally and was set as the next lock-in vote out. Fortunately for her, a Tribe Switch happened the following day where she was ranked as the least valuable member by her tribe. Seeing the fact that she was the outcast of her tribe, Fang's member Ken Hoang chose Kelly to be on his tribe, shocking all who were present.

At the new Fang tribe, Kelly began to show off her disdain to her former tribemates Jacquie Berg and Ace. She joins the alliance of the three original Fang members: Ken, Crystal Cox, and G.C. Brown. Later at the Immunity Challenge, Kelly's poor performance contributed to Fang's loss, and once again, she found herself on the chopping block. However, her alliance with the original Fang members stood strong and voted out Jacquie.

At Tribal Council on Day 18, Kelly was targeted for being the weakest link. She then got into a fight with her ally Crystal, prompting her alliance to turn on her. Thus, she was voted out unanimously.

Trivia

 * Whenever Kelly was on Kota, she didn't receive a vote, but when she was on Fang, she received at least 1 vote at every tribal council.
