TV Guide Channel preview:
"I like Kristina because... she's lived enough life to know that she wants a new life. I'm guessing Kristina's gonna play to win."
CBS cast assessment video:
"Kristina Kell, another favorite. She's not 21. I think the enthusiasm of somebody who's lived for a while, and says, 'You know what? I'm gonna live a different way,' is infectious.... I think Kristina's probably gonna play a very tough game, and if I had to guess, she'll be one of the people that might make some big moves to try to win."

From her EW photo caption:
"Give Kristina points for having a pretty good idea what fate is awaiting her in the elements. 'I'm expecting to be miserable. I'm expecting to be hungry. I'm expecting to be cold. I'm expecting for my feet and my hands to rot. I'm expecting to be tired and angry and lonely. I'm expecting all of it.' But unlike, say, NaOnka and Purple Kelly, she won't let that deter her from her goal. 'I'm going to knock every person out one by one until I'm the only one left. I will do everything in my power. I will say anything, do anything, go anywhere. I will faint and throw up before I give up. I have to win. This is it.'"
From her official CBS bio page:
"Occupation: Law Student (University of La Verne College of Law)
Personal Claim to Fame: Understanding and learning how to deal with an autistic child; grasping the Autistic Spectrum and obtaining vigorous early intervention services to improve the quality of my son's life. This experience, and helping other families facing the same crisis, was the catalyst for my legal education.
Pet Peeves: Whining and people who are cheap.
Survivor Contestant You Are Most Like: None.
Why you think you'll 'survive' Survivor: I'm resourceful and tough as nails. If you don't know that lying and manipulation is a part of this game, then you're an idiot.
Why you think you will be the sole Survivor: There are a lot of amazing things in my life, and they all have started out with the thought, 'I'm gonna do…(fill in the blank).' Whether it's making documentaries, opening my business, helping families cope with children on the Autistic Spectrum, going to law school, or winning Survivor, they all start in my head as an idea. I take baby steps, one by one, until finally it's done."
