Jenna Morasca

aka Twigs (or was it Sticks?)

Since this place is so pro-vagina and anti-penis, I can imagine some people will be angry or outraged by this choice. Unfortunately, I just don't care. Of all women remaining, Jenna is indisputable the least appealing castaway (not in a sexual way, that's for sure). Jeff Probst can suck it though. Chris and Vee aren't the least likely winners ever; Jenna is. The Editing in Amazon tried they hardest to make Jenna the most surprising winner ever (similar to giving Tina an INV1 in Australia, but way worse). They have succeeded in that part, because Jenna is indisputably the least satisfying winner EVER. (okay some of the twattards around here may dispute this, but that's because they can't get any penis themselves, so they'll have to settle with vagina instead.)

Anyways, I always found Jenna to be extremely under-edited, especially for a winner. In fact, every episode (except for the Finale), she stood in Heidi's shadow. Heidi of course, was one of the most delusional cuntesses in the history of Survivor, and one of the biggest pre-ASS Female Villains. Jenna was her cronies, her assistant, her wing(wo)man, her partner in crime... but always stood in her shadow. You see, the editors wanted to edit Jenna in a way similar to Heidi, but at the same time wanted her [Jenna] to be less antagonizing than her [Heidi]. That no only made Heidi a much more interesting character than Jenna, but also made Jenna look like a bad player (as she constantly stood in Heidi's shadow). Judging her edit, she rode Heidi's coattails all the way. Her own good strategic moves were ignored for the most part. No wonder everyone rooted for that spas Matt to win it (tbh: so did I)

Whilst Heidi was in the game, Jenna got a negative, shallow edit overall. IIRC, she got no complex episode pre-Heidiboot except perhaps the Alex Boot (and no, I'm not a fan of Edgicfail, so I won't consult the bloody thread.). The Alex Boot episode was the episode were the Auction was held, and we finally get to see something positive and complex concerning Jenna. We see her cry and be worried about her mother, who has a severe form of cancer. While this is a perfect moment for her personal CPP growth moment, the editors instead choose to amplify Ewil Chwisty's political correct OTTP edit. When Ewil Chwisty outbids poor Jenna for her own famility letter, Jenna throws a tantrum to get her own letter. Like I already said, this is a perfect opportunity to portray Jenna as worried, caring, good-natured and broken by the Ewil Chwisty.(More about Ewil Chwisty's wickedness in a few updates) However, they editors portray her as a spoilt brat (may I remind you, idiotic, editors that they girl actually won the whole thing?)

And with the above Jenna got a very nasty edit she didn't really deserve. Only because CBS practically peed in their pants for game/Edgic spoilers (Hence the under-edited Bob and Natalie wins). Ironically In ASS, Jenna got an every positive edit overall ( a combination of UTR and CPP/OTTP), an edit she should've gotten in Amazon. Unfortunately she didn't, and thus became the most antagonizing winner in Survivor History. However, this post if far from over.

That being said, I must admit Jenna places so low because of her own gameplay. Her edit and overall likeability is something she can't controll for the most part. Her gameplay however, is something she could controll, and that too wasn't too good imo.

Jenna's social game wasn't that good imo. She, Shawna and Heidi were close, but honestly, if you drop three young, athletic, flirty women in a group of older women, they'll stick together was well. It's only natural they do so (those who contest this haven't met a young woman in their entire live... or haven't seen Vanuatu... one of the two... most likely both). What was more interesting was Jenna's relationship with the other women in her tribe. She clearly didn't get along with Jeanne and Joanna, her relationship with Janet was nearly nonexistant (but that more because of Janet's own fecklessness (ineptitude, yw) than Jenna's). Ewil Chwisty and Jenna, as is widely known, loathed eachother. The only other woman that was close to the Sorority Sisters (Jenna, Heidi, Shawna) was Deena, who only approached them because she wanted to controll the Jaburu Tribe. Actually all three of the girls didn't have much of a social game.

However, the Sorority Sisters had some big advantage over the other women (although Heidi way contest this): they are hot, and therefor can "easily" flirt themselves to the top. However, of the Sorority Sisters, Jenna was the weakest when it came to flirting/manipulating. Just look that the men the Sorority Sisters recruited and wrapped around their fingers: Alex (fancied Shawna), Rob (Fancied Heidi), and Dave (fancied Deena :P). Jenna had no personal sweetheart (although she and Alex were close after Shawna left). Overall, she was seen as an annoying spoilt brat, and ultimately had to win immunity to stay alive.

Strategically, Jenna was slightly better than average than nothing more. For those who say Jenna had a good strategic game, I'll say this:
Good strategic players NEVER reveal their own alliances to anyone (unless they're very obvious), especially someone from a rivalling alliance/tribe. For those that don't get what I mean, let me refresh your memory: In episode 5, Jenna met Dave from Tambaqui (you know, the guy who dated Deena), and what does she do? While they are having breakfast, she blabs out the alliances in the Jaburu tribe, which results in having her close ally Heidi being sent to Tambaqui with two women that hostile towards her (Heidi). Jenna may be glad neither Jeanne nor Ewil Chwisty had a strategic bone in their body, or Heidi would've been toast.

In the flip side, there is of course that good move of Jenna's: Giving up Immunity at F6 to Heidi. That was a move the cemented her deal with Rob to vote out Christy. Jenna was a smaller threat that Heidi was, and by giving up immunity to her, she had not only saved her biggest ally, but also ensure Rob and Matt wouldn't take Heidi out before Christy, as Heidi obviously was a bigger threat that Christy. Jenna on the other hand was (despite having won 2 Immunity Challenges) weaker than Christy, and a quitter to boot. She wasn't a threat! So, yes it was a good move, but there are a few catches to this:

First and foremost, I doubt it was Jenna's intention to save herself and Heidi. If she wanted too, she just should've approached Christy to vote out Rob. Of course, Jenna profoundly disliked Christy, and vice versa, but regardless, Jenna and Christy had a bond together, and if that bond is strong enough to make Christy vote Jenna "Sole Survivor" over Matt, it should've been strong enough to sway Christy's vote. I haven't seen Christy's boot episode in a while, but if I remembered it correctly, Heidi approached Christy, not Jenna. If Jenna had approached Christy, told her she was a snake, etc, she most likely would've swayed. (it appeared to me that Jenna and Christy's relationship was tigher than Christy and Heidi's was, so Jenna might indeed have swayed Christy to her side). However, Jenna did not, and did what she did, which resulted in taking herself and Heidi to the F5 and a 3-2 minority.
Besides, Jenna had nearly reached her mental breaking point, so she could as well have given up immunity to get the boot herself. That of course is also an option.
In the end, the move turned out to be beneficial enough to Jenna, but I don't think it deserves as much praise as it get from certain... indiviuals.

When it came to challenges, Jenna wasn't the strongest either. Alright, you can say she was a challenge whore of sorts as she won four of them, but if you take a closer took at those challenges, you'll see that three of those were free-for-alls, challenges that could've been won by anyone. The f3 challenge was absolutely rigged in favour of women, and her biggest rival, Matthew, didn't even compete in it (and tbh... when it comes to physical/endurance challenges, Rob is the easiest to beat... except perhaps Roger).

So overall, Jenna won, but imo she wasn't much of a character compared to the others still in it. Because of this, Jenna takes the "first Juror spot in this list", number 9.
