The story

Kimmi Kappenberg is best remembered from The Australian Outback for her impassioned clash with Alicia Calaway over killing the tribe's chickens — a vegetarian's stand that became one of season two's signature arguments. She was voted out fifth, on Day 15.

Fourteen years later she got her second chance in Cambodia and played the opposite game: quiet, loyal, and tucked safely inside the dominant Bayon alliance. She more than doubled her original run, lasting to the final six before being voted out, and cast a jury vote for the winner, Jeremy Collins.
