Known for

Jenna came out of Pagong in Borneo, the tribe that voted with its conscience while Tagi voted as a bloc. She spotted the pattern late, cooking up the Barbecue Alliance with Colleen Haskell and Gervase Peterson over a reward meal, but the Tagi Alliance rode Sean Kenniff's alphabetical voting to take her out. The heartbreak of that season came earlier: her video from home never arrived for the loved-ones challenge.

All-Stars showed a sharper player. She pushed to clear out the former winners, steered Saboga through its losing streak, then landed on Chapera and slid in beside Rob Mariano and Amber with Rupert Boneham in tow. At the final four she flipped on Rupert rather than risk a rock draw, then lost the last immunity and watched Rob cut her as the juror magnet. Two decades later, in In the Hands of the Fans, she came out hunting Cirie Fields on Cila, and Cirie turned that aggression into Jenna's own exit at the first vote.
