Winona Kelly

 is a contestant from Survivor: Ivory Coast.

Profile
Name (Age): Winona Kelly (34)

Tribe Designation: Korhogo

Current Residence: Concord, New Hampshire

Occupation: Theatre Performer

Claim to Fame: My soprano vocal range. It spans four octaves, including the rare whistle register, and has landed me lead roles in several musicals. It's a God-given gift, and I am thankful for it every day.

Inspiration in Life: My best friend, Hannah. She survived cancer as a child, and her love of life gives me inspiration for mine. Whatever she wants to do, she puts her mind to, and that inspired me to pursue my dreams as a theatre performer and stick it to my parents, who told me theatre was a "waste of time" and told me to choose a practical career. Now I'm making more money than they are!

Hobbies: Watching theatre performances and musicals (they're literally my life) and doing puzzles. I like to keep my brain active, and nothing does it better than a good puzzle! Pet Peeves: People who say non-academic subjects aren't "real" subjects, people who use their smartphones all the time- there's more to life than your phone!- and people who collect stickers off apples.

3 Words to Describe You: Bubbly, fun, memorable If You Could Have 3 Things on the Island, What Would They Be and Why: 1) Some puzzles 2) An enormous bucket of french fries- I feel like a fat pig whenever I eat them, but they are so delicious! 3) my iPod. I need to keep my signing voice in check!

SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: I'd say Sean Rector. We both love singing and used it to bring positive vibes to our tribes! I think he and I will play similar games.

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: I've recently become addicted to this show. It started when I was flicking through the TV when one of my runs on Broadway ended, and now I love it! I've applied ever since I saw my first season, which was Survivor: South Pacific.

Why You Think You'll "Survive" SURVIVOR: When I was little I used to go camping so many times. I've learned how to survive off the wilderness, which will do me the world of good. Why You Will Be the Sole SURVIVOR: I'm an actress, so I know how to "act" as something that I'm not! People see me as some ditzy girl and I think I'll play that character well. People will never see me coming!
