In competitive reality TV, when a contestant is edited to receive little-to-no screen time despite lasting relatively deep into the game.
The term is named after Survivor: Nicaragua contestant Kelly Shinn (nicknamed "Purple Kelly"), who lasted 28 days before quitting the game. The show's editors took "revenge" by all-but-deleting her from the storyline.
