Jenny returned on Day 56 (October 15, 2005) to become Bob's replacement by the popular vote called "The Big Switch."


Her eviction is not the first time that Jenny left the house. She chose to voluntarily leave Big Brother’s house on September 17 to be with her ailing father, who was fighting for his life at the time because of a serious ailment.

Jenny went back living the Big Brother lifestyle by actively participating in the tasks and caring so much for her housemates. But knowing that she already had a big advantage over them because of her “short vacation” in the outside world, the housemates decided to nominate her. She broke into tears after learning of her nomination. It was very hard for Jenny to accept her fate since she knew that her family’s future was clinging on her survival in the house. Unfortunately, the people no longer supported her in the 6th Eviction Night. Her first-ever nomination eventually led to her eviction, ending her extraordinary stint in Pinoy Big Brother.
