Shelly Harris-Jones

**Shelly Harris-Jones** is a contestant from Survivor: Huahine and Survivor: Croatia.

A beloved player by the audience and a front runner to win it all, Shelly played a very good game from beginning to end. She was known as the mom, often expressing how she wanted to make her family proud. This demeanour made her very likeable, and she found herself in a close duo with Joshua. Together, they were in control of the pre-merge. Aligning with Iris and Frank, and later on organising the blindside of Ryon. Come merge, Shelly was always in the majority. Joshua turned on her as she was a very well-liked player, with good social connections, but she managed to make it through. However, this label of a social threat caught up to her at the final six, where her whole alliance turned on her, voting Shelly out in an emotional blindside.

### Questions

**Name (Age):** Shelly Harris-Jones (40)

**Residence:** Boston, Massachusetts

**Occupation:** Nurse

**What is your strategy coming into the game?** I want to be that mom figure that people can look up to and trust. I'll help out around camp, be kind to people, et cetera, and see where that takes me

**Why are you on the show?** I want to win the million dollars, of course. *(laughs)* But I'm mostly out here for my husband and my kids. *Survivor* is the show that we all watch together, and we have for years, so I thought it would be special if I went on the show for them.

**Which past player are you most like and why?** Oh, probably Macy. We're both mothers and I could tell she was a fan of the game.

**Why are you on the brain tribe?** I'm a nurse which is a very complicated and stressful job. You have to know how to deal with pressure while also making sure nobody dies. *(laughs)*

## Survivor: Croatia

**Name (Age):** Shelly Harris-Jones (41)

**Residence:** Boston, Massachusetts

**Occupation:** Nurse

**Tribe:** Cres

**Previous Finishes:** Huahine: 6th

**Player You Respect The Most:** Alexis. Easy. She was such a strong woman, and she ended up winning! I was rooting for her from the beginning. I also see quite a lot of myself in Ciera, so I'll also answer her.

**Player You Respect The Least:** I can imagine he's a popular pick in this category, but it's Ashton. I heard about what he did while I was on the island, but watching the season back and seeing how awful he actually was... yeah, it has to be him.

**Favourite Past Moment:** The night where Joshua was blindsided. I do love and respect Joshua, so nothing against him, but finding out about his plan against me and then turning the tables against *him* make me feel like a secret agent! *(laughs)* That tribal was a turning point in the game.

**What's Changed Since You Last Played?** Being on Survivor has just improved my life in all aspects, really. After playing for the first time, it made me realise how grateful I am for my family. Dave, Sammy, Jacob, all of them. It's brought out family of four closer together, and I'm forever grateful.

**Why Are You Playing Again?** Same reason as last time! For my family. It's always for my family, everything I do.
