24 JENNIFER 'JENN' LYON
Survivor: Palau, 4th Place

The first of 5 Palau castaways to make this list (and it should be obvious who the others are), Jenn is an often forgotten (especially by the editors) reminder of how to play a good game and stay true to yourself. She was invisible until her first confessional about tree mail in Episode 4 and from there on out she continued her role as Koror's UTR sweetheart up until the end. We all know that Jenn actually had a lot of game that was hidden from us by the editors, probably so they had more room to hype up Tom/Ian in the finale instead, which makes sense, but it's a shame we didn't get to see more of it. She had a showmance with Gregg, who I also liked, and used it to their advantage strategically. Even after Gregg got blindsided, she stayed loyal to his memory in the game and instead of just accepting her fate and getting voted out, she worked hard to subtlety pit Tom and Ian against each other with Katie right in between them. It almost worked to the point where if she had made fire faster than Ian in that one F4 tiebreaker, her edit and her perception could have been entirely different, even if Tom had still won the F3 immunity and taken Katie to the end. Jenn was threatened by Stephenie which was actually refreshing because she was the first one to think of actual reasons to get rid of Stephenie besides her just being the lone member of the last tribe, and since she had teamed up against Stephenie many times in the challenges, it was obvious why she'd want her out.

Jenn was great in challenges, good with strategy, great with personal relationships and laying low and another less recognized but still important factor of why Koror dominated so much against poor Ulong (my favorite tribe ever though). She was always smiling and happy to be in the experience and was completely loyal to Gregg and Katie. If you & Jenn were on the same season, she'd be an easy, trustworthy, down to earth, positive person to align with. Her personality was radiant and her gameplay is severely underrated and she is honestly much more of a 'hero' than a few of the female heroes chosen for S20, especially considering her battle with cancer. I wish Jenn all the best.

ETA: Jenn reminded me of the MTV show 'Surf Girls'. It was a pretty early on reality show in retrospect, it was at least 5+ years ago at this point. It was really cool and a lot of the girls had that same West Coast surfer girl vibe that Jenn did, and I fucking loved that show.

That's a very good point Katy that I totally forgot about. Jenn is probably the most mysterious castaway ever. <33333
