Kelly Goldsmith is an American marketing researcher who specializes in consumer behavior and a former reality television contestant.
She is currently the E. Bronson Ingram Chair and Professor of marketing at the Owen Graduate School of Management at Vanderbilt University.
[1][10][2] She was initially placed on the Boran tribe alongside Clarence Black, Tom Buchanan, Jessie Camacho, Kim Johnson, Diane Ogden, Lex van den Berghe and Ethan Zohn.
Kelly played the game quietly in the beginning, avoiding being eliminated the first two times Boran attended tribal council through her fairly strong social bonds.
At the following challenge, Goldsmith's former tribemate, Johnson, made an "L" signal to her, which told her that Richter had previous votes and would be eliminated if she was in a tie.
The following day, van den Berghe became paranoid as he furiously tried to identify who cast a vote against him other than Black, with Goldsmith taking the blame, despite it actually being Teresa Cooper.
