Where do you even start with Jenna?! What an emotional, complicated journey this young woman's Survivor experience turned out to be!
Jenna started out as the girl-you-loved-to-hate. She was every unpopular girl's worst nightmare: skinny, attractive, obnoxious, a sorority queen and, what's more, she flaunted it. Seeing Jenna in the beginning, clearly possessing no survival skills whatsoever, and clearly being as out-of-her-element as anybody can be, the thought that she would make it longer than a week was outrageous. And yet, she somehow braved her way through it to win the season as the youngest winner ever.
Jenna was subject to a number of very fortunate circumstances early on. Although in an all-women's tribe, she was not alone and was able to easily bond with the other 'younger prettier' girls, which provided much more of a force to be reckoned with. She really provided no real threat, so there were always bigger fish to fry. Once the tribes switched, Jenna's appearance became more useful with the boys, and she became a useful pawn to the people in power.
Jenna later began to prove herself as a competitor, demonstrating physical ability, and strategy. Yet, just as you were starting to respect her, she would turn into the brat again, bullying and picking on Christy, whining, crying and complaining and generally being immature.
So where do you draw the line with Jenna? Was she a very fortunate brat, or a strong and strategic young woman? I think she was both. She was very young, (only my age at the moment) and she hadn't had a lot of life experience, so she was learning as she was going. You can see a young woman getting to know who she is through the season, and I really respect her achievements.
She then had the courage to try it all again in All-Stars, only to have to make a heart-wrenching decision which she stuck by.
I have really grown to like and respect Jenna, and for the way she has embraced what the series has given her. I also think her boyfriend, Ethan, is a total hottie!
So a big thumbs up for Jenna - she proved us all wrong!
I didn't like her at all on Survivor: The Amazon. I thought she was really mean. However, when I saw her on All-Stars, and she quit because of her dying mom, I felt for her. She's not a normal beauty queen. she has to work hard for what she has. She doesn't have th eperfect family. Luckily, she's very beautiful and will probably go far in life. She's in a great relationship with fellow Survivor winner Ethan Zohn. Jenna is currently starring on the vh1 series Celebrity Paranormal Project with some fellow celebrities. They have to investigate a very hautned hospital.
I thought that Jenna shouldn't had competed on All-Stars Survivor and could had given that spot to Rodger from the Outback!
She wasted her time and though I am not heartless with her being with her soon to be dying mother.
Just think she was a spoiled brat and very mean to others!
Don't know why she won the whole dang thing!
