Kelly Goldsmith was a 22-year-old Behavior Analyst from San Diego, California when she competed on
Survivor: Africa. One of the younger members of the original Boran tribe, Kelly was known for her sharp wit and strategic mind. After surviving the tribe swap, she made it to the merge as part of the Boran Alliance but became the target of a witch hunt led by Lex van den Berghe who suspected her of casting a rogue vote. Kelly was voted out on Day 24 as the first member of the jury, becoming a victim of paranoia and tribal politics despite her alliance's numerical advantage.
