Survivor: Palau
Jenn started on the dominant Koror Tribe. She quickly formed a Final Five alliance with Gregg Carey, Tom Westman, Ian Rosenberger and Katie Gallagher. The other four members of the Tribe, Caryn Groedel, Willard Smith, Coby Archa and Janu Tornell, were pitted against them. After a twist that saw Koror and Ulong both go to Tribal Council, even his own alliance voted for Willard, as he was the weakest link. They would then last until the Merge without having to go to Tribal Council and were joined by the last surviving member of Ulong, Stephenie LaGrossa. Though Stephenie was the clear target, Coby's attitude was getting on everyone's nerves, so the Koror Alliance targeted Coby. Stephenie was once again the target, even though Tom wanted to keep Stephenie to vote out Janu. However, when Janu quit the game at Tribal Council, Stephenie was given a new life, but not for long, as she was the next voted out. Later on, Gregg, Jenn and Katie decided to take out Caryn next and then turn on Tom and Ian, as they are the biggest physical threats. However, before they could, Tom, Ian, Caryn and Katie joined forces and voted him out. Then, when Katie and Ian got into a big fight over Ian not taking Katie on Reward, Jenn, Caryn and Katie plot to take out Ian. However, Jenn and Katie eventually side with their original alliance and Caryn was voted out. Later on, Jenn and Katie talked to Ian and they all agreed that Tom needs to go if he doesn't win Immunity. When Tom did win Immunity, Jenn was on the chopping block, so she told Tom that Ian was targeting him. This caused Tom to join Jenn and force a tie between Jenn and Ian. Ian would win a firemaking competition and Jenn was sent home.
In the Final Tribal Council, Jenn voted for Tom to win the game over Katie Gallagher, which he did.
