"Ding dong, the Wicked Witch is dead." Reed Kelly walked out of San Juan del Sur quoting The Wizard of Oz at Missy Payne, the Broadway and Cirque du Soleil performer staging his own boot like an eleven o'clock showstopper. He and Josh Canfield had applied separately and kept it from production that they were a couple, then drew opposite tribes and spent the merge trying to crack the Missy–Baylor mother-daughter duo sitting at the center of the game. Trouble was, Jon Misch's group got to Josh first.
They blindsided Josh as the first name on the jury, and just like that Reed was on his own — half of a power couple with no other half left to do the math with. So when night one of the double-elimination rolled around, the majority simply closed ranks on him: no idol, no numbers to scrounge, voted out eighth as the fourth juror, lopsided. Both Broadway partners ended up side by side on that jury anyway. But Reed got the last word, and it's the one nobody forgets — a full-throated villain's curtain call that's outlived just about everyone's memory of where he actually finished.
