Fruitbat, I read that too. "Became better looking" in this game is an odd statement. Since Deena really became the leader of the alliance, I've thought she'd be the one also. BUT, Heidi and Shawna were paid much more attention early on than was Jenna, so it could be that Jenna is the one "perceived" as improving her looks over the course of the game. That's why speculation is fun, I guess...

Jenna is keeping very quiet. She has let Heidi and Shawna take the spotlight and it is working for her. The only time she lost that position is when she and Dave were sent to pick the tribes. Dave knows who she really is. If I were her, I would want him off asap.

Could a Portugese man, close to the action, really have heard or understood that the men choose only Heidi and Shawna as the hottest? We saw an editied version of the discussion. I find it hard to believe no one mentioned Jenna. She is beautiful. How are her looks improving?

There is also a question if the F2 woman took her clothes off.

I love the big question mark.

Bat, at the beginning of the season, Jenna kept her hair up in a tight knot, with her buff around her head, it wasn't the most flattering style for her.
Lately, she has been letting her hair down, literaly, it makes a difference. She was also very pale in the beginning, and it showed off the circles under her eyes. I have noticed that she has a little tan going on now, and it looks good on her. Little things, but the difference between ep1 and ep7 is striking if watched back to back.

Edited: Also, last episode, when she had that confessional with Heidi, where they were talking about the peanut butter, and Jenna actually smiled and laughed, it was like sunlight splashing over her. We haven't seen that with her yet, and it made a huge difference in her attractive factor (at least to me)

I am going to make myself like this girl. I really do like her apparent relationship with her mother. Anyone that calls their mother their hero for fighting breast cancer gets brownie points. :)

I like Jenna and have from the beginning. She got lumped with Heidi for awhile but they are very different. Jeff said she is much more than a swimsuit model and don't underestimate her. Deena is solid and likes her too. She is a nice girl and I would be happy with her winning.

Her spilling too much to Dave showed me she is trusting and a bit naive but it did not hurt her. In fact it helped her when they chose teams. Good that she and Heidi were split, it worked to her advantage and it would not have happened had she not told Dave they were tight.

Bat, I am with you. I think there is more to Jenna than we have been shown so far..and that usually means longevity in the game!

My secret wish is that what really happened is that she and Dave swapped info, they made a bond and they will be the first cross-tribe final 2 a real secret alliance. Probably won't happen but it would be really cool if it did.

I think Heidi is being edited to be our villain this time, and Jenna has suffered by association.
Evidently she and Heidi are still buds, so she doesnt betray her friend in the game, I think.

Yea Herm!! I am so proud of you!! <clapping> I know how you are when you get a bee in your bonnet about a reality contestant LOL. So, I see your willingness to keep an open mind with Jenna as a big step!

Bat, I agree with everything you said. Jenna and Heidi were thrown together on the same tribe by chance. Who knows if they would have choosen to be friends in real life? (they are, but because of this show)
I see her as rather naive too. And, there has to be a reason Jeff has made a point of dissing Heidi but in the next breath praising Jenna.
And, like Herm said, her mother is her hero. She is only 22. I find her rather facinating. She's a swimsuit model who loves animals enough to want to make that her life work, (a big selling point with me) and chooses to live at home to take care of her mother.

I can see how Jenna is poised to win it all. She is liked by everyone, and not considered an immunity threat. She has played a beautiful game, even if she doesn't know it.
She was able to make lemonaid out of lemons when she got put on an all woman tribe. She alligned with Heidi and Deena, two players who did all of scheming for her. She was flexable in the switch, going with the flow. She has kept her word with her alliance. She will continue to go with flow, letting all the power players in the game pick off each other.
The thing I like about her is that she doesn't come across as scheming this. I said this before, but I think she is sort of Forrest Gumping her way though this, and I think she will be the winner. JMO

PS: I said before that I like Christy and still do, but if she can't win, then I will be happy with Jenna. Butch has been to under the radar for me to want him to win. I don't know him at all. Plus, even though he had some nice things to say about Christy, he STILL voted against her.

i don't like her much at all...my daughter says i am her hero, too, but not because of my breast cancer. just because. i am irritated that she ignored christy and i don't like that she 'dropped trou'. not a classy dame in my book at all. but i haven't really liked anyone who won survivor all that much, so that would be in keeping with things! lol it also goes with the 'male, female, male, female, male' pattern (i really want to say 'baldness' after male pattern...lol) ....and now it would again be a female....winner. if it continues to go male, female, i would only apply for the even numbered games...being as i am female.

I hope she turns out to be an evil mastermind. She is the spider you know.

Jenna got immunity! Not that she needed it, but she is perceived a non-threat in the challenges. This was a mental challenge that Jeff said is designed to show everyone their place within the tribe. Jenna and Heidi are apparently the least threatening and/or most well liked.

I hope you all are right about her being the winner. She'd be the first pre-show pick I ever made that turned out right.

I posted this earlier in Spoilers, but Jenna is currently in last place of the remaining Survivors in CBS's popularity poll. She is even lower than Heidi. Her popularity is at 39%. The only people lower are Daniel, Joanna and Roger. If Jenna is the winner, some positive editing needs to be done. The general public is not only not liking her, but she isn't going to be perceived as deserving it either. A lot of people didn't like Brian or Rich, but conceded that they played a brilliant game. I don't think anyone would say that about Jenna. Posters at most message boards don't seem to think she is very bright and she really hasn't shown much strategy aside from her determination to get Roger booted and to use her looks if she needs to. If she is our winner, I'm very puzzled by her editing. And no, I don't care for her much myself, but you have to admit I have made some points.

Not really because the final three all air on the same night. TDT has the final episode being Ep. 13, which is only 5 more.

At this point in Marquesas, people were still hating Kathy. By the finals she was a huge favorite. We have a long way to go, things change every week.

I thought people had already started rooting for Kathy by this point. No? I don't remember 100% because I liked Kathy all along, but I remember when my brother and his wife started to see her differently and I thought that when she got switched earlier in the show, onto the tribe with Neleh and Pappy and Sarah and Gina, and that was when more and more people started to root for her. So by the time the merge had came and gone, she was already well on her way to becoming the favorite of many, many people. But I wasn't on the boards then. And Kathy was a loner and an outsider who was plucky and hardworking. Jenna is in a clique who tends to make digs at people and doesn't seem to do much around camp. I just don't see the parallels happening. But still, you are right, things change every episode. Two episodes earlier she scored very high. She could score high again two episodes from now.

I remember that about Kathy, Car. I remember that Weiner was a big fan of hers right from the start, and he was happy when I FINALLY saw the light! lol

The thing with not having a strategy, if one is inclined to not like Jenna for not having one, then the same would have to apply to Christy and Butch and Matt. Jeff said in his radio interview that the utr players will be at risk ep9 (and mentioned Christy and Butch)

Jenna has had a firm alliance with Heidi and Deena from the start. It held together even when Jenna and Heidi were seperated, and then the three of them got together and brainstormed to take out Roger before he could make the jury. Jenna has also brainstormed with Deena regarding the men boot order.

Strictly speaking, if moralistic judgement is not applied, Jenna has played a pretty good game so far, she has even won an immunity challenge.
And speaking of that, I thought it was brilliant of her to hang back until the men had taken each other out, and then come through with the correct answers when she had to, I see her as very bright. She may be doing a little Forrest Gumping, but I see this as no reason to not think she is bright.

She has had winner editing in that she was one of the first confessionals we saw in ep1. She is not getting too much like Deena and Rob, which broadcasts their demise. She has had more face time than Matt or Butch. Right down the middle.

And the final thing is not what people on a poll think, but what the jury thinks. They were the ones who were with her 24/7, they are who decides if she becomes the youngest Survivor winner yet.

The CBS poll is often dead wrong or way behind.

Jenna is a nice young woman. I have not a clue why she would score so low. Maybe those voting just have another favorite as opposed to disliking her.

I like Jenna, she has done nothing horrible!

Weinermr was the one-man Kathy team on this board. There was such an uproar on the other team and she was such an outsider, no one thought she had a chance for a long time. I voted for her to go something like 6 times at the Deadpool and ended up loving her in the end.


The CBS poll is for the general public who know nothing about the inside info. Jenna has been very very low key so far. They only know her from the face time she has had.

Yup, we see right through you.

Kathy is the ONLY reality show contestant that I really and truly could get ever get behind, and wanted to win, right from the beginning. I was SO disappointed when she didn't win.

The funny thing is I discounted Jenna in this one right from the beginning. In the last week or so, I'm starting to like her more and more.

See?

It is the well known Weiner factor. Much more reliable than polls.
