Kellyn's love for the game motivated her to do well, and she got off to a strong start in playing a role for Naviti's early victories. That proved crucial in giving her the numbers after the swap. Kellyn was adamant about Naviti sticking together, which made her and Bradley the major rivals for the Malolo majority who desperately tried to get others to flip. Kellyn's alliance with Bradley, Sebastian, Desiree, and Chelsea stayed firm as Malolo members were picked off. Even after a second swap, Kellyn and Desiree managed to keep wild card Angela on their side and vote out James, while keeping long time adversary Michael in the game as a possible shield.
Kellyn was also initially in a good position post merge despite Domenick taking out Bradley and Chris. Kellyn appeared to be in a sub alliance with the Naviti women and was a part of the Libby/Michael vote split that flushed Michael's idol and sent Libby home at final 12. However, Kellyn caught wind of Desiree's attempts to vote her out, causing that long standing alliance to break and forcing Kellyn to vote out Desiree. From that point, the game started to slip from Kellyn's fingers. A twist at the following tribal confirmed Naviti's numbers advantage, but Kellyn was at the mercy of Domenick and Wendell, believing Michael would play another idol. Michael scared Kellyn into think he had an idol without needing to show her anything. Kellyn used her extra vote to put two votes on Laurel that night, only for Michael to be voted out at the revote.
Kellyn once again tried to rally the women after Sebastian won a Reward Challenge and took Domenick, Wendell, and Donathan on reward. The women appeared to be on board with going after Domenick or Wendell in the next vote, but Laurel kept her alliance with those two a secret as she became the swing vote. Ultimately the plan failed as Laurel joined her allies in voting out Chelsea, Kellyn's closest alliance member. Now in the minority, some hope was restored as Donathan began to gun for Domenick. However, Donathan's erratic behavior caused Domenick and Wendell to do damage control by telling Kellyn and Angela to vote out Donathan. Kellyn went with that plan, only for the result to be a tie vote and she was voted out in the revote. Kellyn would vote for Wendell to win, who beat Domenick and Laurel in a 6-5-0 vote.
