Kellyn Bechtold's own answers from the pre-game cast profile CBS published before the season aired.

Claim to fame

My ever-evolving career. From being a waitress in Indiana, working at a plant nursery in Florida, to a receptionist at a crematory, and eventually working in career services and business consulting with a dual MBA and Master of Public Health.

Hobbies

Travel—I love meeting new people in new places, yoga, meditation, and gambling.

Pet peeves

Ignorance and unwillingness to try and walk in other people's shoes and being interrupted by a man.

Inspiration

My parents. My dad is one of the hardest working people I know. My mom tutors incarcerated women, volunteers on Election Day, and contributes to our local community in a loving, selfless way.

Castaway they say they are most like

I hope I'm a mix between Kelley Wentworth and Aubry Bracco. Kelley is a badass game player who would do anything to win. She gets people to trust her and is still a snake. I'm also a little bit Aubry—strategic, very intuitive, but slightly neurotic and quirky.

Luxury item

A bag of Skittles. I'm addicted to candy and just one Skittle a day would keep me going through starvation! Next, a deck of cards so I could get people to play games that require deceit, and try to read tells, and tampons, because, duh.
