At the beginning of the show, Chelsea was shown to be very quiet, only hanging out with Layla on the first day. As a result, the guys thought she was most likely to leave during the Right to Stay. However, she was one of the 14 contestants that made it through. In the partner selection, she was to be partnered with Brandon according to the List, which she was cynical about because people might want to change their minds later. She was chosen to be on the Orange Team in Partner Game by Jenna, where she was paired with Skyler.
