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.

<tabber>San Juan del Sur=
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!http://web.archive.org/web/20230601013805/https://www.cbs.com/shows/survivor/cast/214925/

===San Juan del Sur===
Kelley entered San Juan del Sur playing alongside her father Dale. In line with the season's 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.

===Cambodia===
Despite her understated first outing, Kelley was voted by the public to return in Cambodia. She played a more outwardly aggressive strategic game, hunting for idols and becoming a part of some of the season's major blindsides. Although she was cast into an unfavorable minority position following the merge, she managed to exploit cracks in the majority Bayon Alliance to guarantee her survival, while her strategic timing afforded her further tenacity in the game. At the final twelve, she famously played a Hidden Immunity Idol to negate a 9-3 vote and blindside Andrew Savage. Later, at the final six, she became part of a Tribal Council where no votes were counted. Ultimately, after losing the Final Immunity Challenge, Kelley's roster of impressive plays made her too big of a threat to bring to Final Tribal Council, prompting the remaining members of the Bayon Alliance to vote her out.
