Survivor: The Amazon

Originally part of the all-female Jaburu tribe, Jenna was not immediately targeted. Despite initially being disappointed at being on an all-female tribe, Jenna flourished and rose to a power position. She almost immediately bonded with fellow contestant Heidi Strobel, which led to a long-standing alliance. In Episode 2, Jenna joined the majority of her tribe with voting out weak-link Janet Koth. She then created an alliance with the dominant female and leader of Jaburu, Deena Bennett as well as Shawna Mitchell. In Episode 4, this new alliance targeted arguably the strongest female, Joanna Ward, and recruited deaf contestant Christy Smith when Shawna would not commit, claiming she was too weak to continue. The alliance would not honor Shawna's wish to be voted out, and successfully ousted Joanna.

Christy Smith (born September 13, 1978) was born in Aspen, Colorado to her parents, Bob and Glenda Smith. ...

In Episode 5, due to her being the youngest female, Jenna became the ambassador of Jaburu, choosing new tribes along with opposing all-male tribe Tambaqui's ambassador and youngest member Dave Johnson. She managed to keep Deena and Shawna on her tribe, but lost Heidi to Tambaqui. However, she gained three males (Alex Bell, Matthew von Ertfelda and Rob Cesternino) that eventually became a major part in Jenna's alliance. In Episode 6, Jenna joined Deena, Rob and Matthew to vote off Shawna, believing she was too close to Alex and had already betrayed the alliance once. Rob Cesternino Rob Cesternino (b. ...

When the two tribes merged into one (Jacare), Jenna was once again reunited with Heidi. At the first individual immunity challenge, the pair caused major controversy when they offered to take off all their clothes for some Peanut Butter and Oreos, despite them not needing to take their clothes off for food and the fact that the host, Jeff Probst, never offered such a deal. Despite this, their wish was granted and Jenna got exactly what she wanted, showing her power to do so. Jenna and her alliance immediately targeted dominant male Roger Sexton, believing he was demanding and sexist. This article or section does not cite any references or sources. ...

At the Final 9, Jenna's alliance again targeted a dominant male, Dave Johnson, due to him being part of Roger's broken alliance and seeing him as a threat. At the Final 8, Deena shocked Jenna and other alliance members when she expressed doubt about alliance member Alex, believing he was too much of a challenge threat. When the next target Matthew won immunity, Jenna, Heidi, Alex and Rob turned on Deena, due to her plotting against Alex, and she was voted out. At the Final 7, Rob was doubtful of his position in the game in his current alliance. Believing he could not achieve more than fourth place with Jenna, Heidi and Alex, he recruited the non-alliance members, Christy, Matthew and Butch Lockley to his side and betrayed his old alliance by successfully voting out Alex. Both Jenna and Heidi were stunned and hurt by the move, criticizing Rob as being very deceitful.

At the Final 6, Jenna and Heidi scrambled to stay in the game, trying hard to break up Rob's alliance by convincing Christy to side with them. When Christy would not commit to either side, Rob approached the girls with an offer to get rid of Christy. Because it meant that the targets were off their own backs, both Jenna and Heidi accepted and Christy was voted off. At the Final 5, Jenna and Heidi found themselves on the outside once again. The three-man alliance of Butch, Rob and Matthew targeted Heidi, believing her to be more strong and threatening than the then-sick Jenna, and she was voted out.

At the Final 4, Jenna found herself facing an uphill battle against the three-man alliance. Despite this, Jenna managed to win immunity, securing her place in the Final 3. Jenna sided with Rob and Matthew to vote out the popular Butch. At the Final 3, Matthew approached Jenna for a possible Final 2 alliance to which Jenna agreed. At the immunity challenge, Matthew immediately stepped down, knowing both Jenna and Rob would take him to the Final 2. Sensing he was in trouble, Rob tried to strike a deal with Jenna, but she did not budge. Jenna went on to win immunity and she voted Rob off, believing she could more easily win against Matthew, but tricking the jury into thinking she was taking the harder to beat competitor, gaining her respect on the jury.

In the end, Jenna Morasca beat out Matthew von Ertfelda in a massive 6-1 vote to become the Sole Survivor. She managed to gain the votes of Dave Johnson, Deena Bennett, Alex Bell, Christy Smith, Heidi Strobel and Rob Cesternino, the most surprising being Christy who, when voted off, claimed she would never vote for Jenna (or Heidi) to win the million dollars.
