~~~ 18. JENNIFER "JENN" LYONS ~~~

SO ADORABLE <3 I have to say that I'm surprised that no one has even suggested Jenn be out next this entire time. Jenn is one of my absolute all time fav UTR borewhore goddesses. I'm very much unlike a typical suckster in that I flove showmances! The more showmances the better. It just adds a whole different dimension and depth to the storylines and no epic journey is complete without a little romance amirite?! Well Jenn was part of a showmance with the hot but slightly butterfaced Gregg (I assume they bonded over their superfluous consonants) and while most people saw them as a toothless Romber I was cheering them on from the sidelines. I remember this one scene where Gregg had to get Jenn's panties or something out from underneath the shelter because she was scared, but then I recently rewatched Palau and that scene was not in the show I have no idea what that's about. Maybe I dreamed it. Anyway Jenn is yet another beautiful blonde whore who was criminally marginalized by the edit as her masterful game went completely unacknowledged. Thankfully this oversight was addressed briefly in the Palau DVD castmember commentary. Jenn's postgame journey was even more harrowing as she was diagnosed with cancer, which she beat but I think it came back? Idk, it's too tragic for me to even think about honestly. I wish her well tho because she is obv one of my favs. Jenn <3

On Jenn's personality: Jenn was practically destined to be the sweetheart of Palau but the disastrous nature of Ulong forced the focus elsewhere. Someone so "^_^" could not be ignored for long and her adorableness began to shine through towards the end of the season.

On Jenn's gameplay: Jenn is a devastatingly underestimated gamer. Not only was she part of the core on Koror due to her social skills, she also had a strong sub-alliance within that alliance that practically guaranteed her F2. Even after being out-maneuvered at the F6 she came back stronger than ever and coldly turned ally against ally right before the F4 TC, creating a tiebreaker situation I never see people talk about where she was narrowly edged out by Ian. To this day the only thing I really hold against Katie is her refusal to vote with Jenn and Tom against Ian. Just IMAGINE if Jenn had gone on to conquer S10. <3333

On Jenn's placement: Even though she was very UTR and on a season with a lot of strong female personalities, Jenn still stands out to me as a cute but pragmatic woman. It's a shame that she was ignored by the edit but tbh I can't imagine anything that they could have cut to give her a stronger presence because Palau was an amazing season despite all the jellus haters who say otherwise. Jenn's storyline didn't really get moving until later in the season but it was truly an amazing, dramatic story.
