Kelley Wentworth is a contestant from Survivor: San Juan del Sur, Survivor: Cambodia, and Survivor: Edge of Extinction.

After playing as a minor character in San Juan del Sur, Kelley was voted in as an unlikely returning player in Cambodia. Over the course of her impressive second outing, Kelley became a key factor in a number of the series' most iconic Tribal Councils, including "idoling out" Andrew Savage at the final twelve and causing the famous "no votes" Tribal Council at the final six, cementing herself as a legendary Survivor underdog. She later returned in Edge of Extinction, where she was voted out after spending most of the game playing in an unfavorable position with a target perpetually on her back.

For her strategic awareness, scrappy gameplay and affinity for risk-taking, Kelley has come to be celebrated as a modern Survivor legend and one of the series' most beloved fan favorites.

San Juan del Sur Cambodia Edge of Extinction Name: Kelley Wentworth (28) Tribe Designation: TBD 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 – 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! Name: Kelley Wentworth Season 29 Survivor: San Juan del Sur Current Age: 28 Hometown: Seattle, WA Age: 31 Hometown: Ephrata, Washington Current residence: Seattle Occupation: Marketing Manager Previous season: Second Chance, San Juan del Sur Hobbies: Photography, walking my dogs, and witchcraft on the weekends. Pet peeves: Unseasoned rice, games involving balls, and people who think they're basically badasses. Three words to describe you: Independent, expressive, and stubborn. What's your personal claim to fame? "Wentworth, does not count." x9 Who or what is your inspiration in life? Anyone who won Survivor on their first try. If you could have three things on the island, what would they be and why? Amazon Prime Fresh delivery, because... food. Clothing options that cover all of my body because... weather. Toiletries, 'cause hygiene is important. Which Survivor contestant are you the most like? Kelley Wentworth from Survivor: Second Chance and I think she was also on Survivor: San Juan del Sur. What's your reason for being on Survivor? I have one thing left to do in this game: win. Why do you think you'll "survive" Survivor? I survived for 38 days last time. I think I can handle one more day.

San Juan del Sur

Main article: Kelley Wentworth/San Juan del Sur

Kelley played a quiet game in San Juan del Sur, flying under the radar until her early ouster on Day 13.

Kelley entered San Juan del Sur playing alongside her father Dale. In line with the season's Blood vs. Water theme, Kelley was separated from her father and assigned to the Hunahpu tribe. As her tribe embarked on a winning streak, Kelley spent the early game in a comfortable position, though she was targeted to no avail by Drew Christy for being a knowledgeable fan of the game. At the tribe switch, Kelley was put on the new Coyopa tribe alongside her father, who frequently came into conflict with her former tribemate Missy Payne. The Coyopa tribe had three pairs, with couple Jaclyn Schultz and Jon Misch positioned as swing votes between the pair of Dale and Kelley and Missy and her daughter Baylor Wilson. At the new Coyopa tribe's first Tribal Council on Day 13, Jaclyn and Jon sided against Kelley, voting her out in 14th place.

^1 In "You Call, We'll Haul", Kelley used a Hidden Immunity Idol, negating 9 votes against her.
^2 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 Kelley and Jeremy both used Hidden Immunity Idols and negated all the votes cast at Tribal Council, a vote restart was held between all the non-immune players. This vote ended with a 3-3 tie between Kimmi and Tasha, forcing a consensus tiebreaker. Kelley changed her vote to Kimmi on the tiebreaker.
