Killarney Jones is a contestant from Survivor South Africa: Champions and Survivor South Africa: Return of the Outcasts.
In Champions, Killarney forged an early bond with tribe outcast Zan Lang, but this relationship quickly deteriorated after they were pitted against each other by the Utara Alliance. Despite Zan's poor standing in the tribe, Killarney took the fall and was blindsided by the dynamic duo of Marian de Vos and Shane Hattingh.
Killarney played for a second time in Return of the Outcasts, hoping to find an outlet for her grief after experiencing a series of life tragedies. Despite taking misplaced credit for many of the game's blindsides, she was largely seen as a "goat" by her fellow castaways. However, her perceived status as an easy opponent in any Final Two combination caused her tribemates to fear that her continued run in the game would deprive them of a spot in the Final Tribal Council. As such, Marian and Shane once again devised Killarney's blindside, with Marian convincing Dino Paulo to play along with her fake Vote Steal plot to allow her to retain Phil Dickson's trust while the trio knowingly voted together to seal Killarney's fate at the final five.

Killarney Jones has competed in martial arts internationally from a young age and has black belts in various disciplines. She's climbed Kilimanjaro and has a degree in Fine Arts.
She grew up in a tight-knit family who travelled extensively throughout Africa. Jones is tough and talkative, determined and dedicated and will fight to the bitter end.
When she competed in her previous season, she didn't understand the game well and expected to power through on the back of her physical prowess – and was duly brought down by her neglect of the social and strategic aspects of the game. This time around, she understands the concept better and will still be looking to compete physically but will be bringing a softer touch to the social side of the game.[2]Survivor South Africa[]
