## Survivor

Jennifer began on the Shimazu tribe. Early on, she became the loudmouth of her tribe. Jennifer even rubbed some members of her tribe the wrong way on Day 1 for being "too talkative." On Day 3, Shimazu lost immunity. Jennifer quickly decided that her vote was going to be for the person who performed the worst in the immunity challenge. Jennifer believed 44 year-old Betsy Christensen performed the worst and was the reason they lost. Jennifer let Betsy know out loud in front of the whole tribe that she thought Betsy didn't perform well. This caused a small altercation between Jennifer and Betsy in front of the tribe. Jennifer quickly formed a conversation with tribe mates Crystal Underwood, Navya Patel, and Alex Cummings. She let them know about her plan on voting for Betsy. They agreed to vote for Betsy as well. Jennifer decided that 4 votes was enough to get Betsy out and didn't believe that the 4 other members of the tribe would all vote together. At tribal, Jennifer was shocked when she received 4 votes against herself. She realized her strong personality got herself into trouble. Betsy still received 4 votes as well, leaving a tie vote between Jennifer and Betsy. Luckily for Jennifer, everyone flipped on Betsy during the revote and Betsy was sent home. Back at camp, Jennifer thanked her tribe for keeping her safe, but wasn't sure how much longer she'd last. On Day 6, Shimazu won immunity and Jennifer was safe from tribal. On Day 9, Shimazu lost immunity again. Jennifer decided to lay low after the challenge. After word came out that Mark Watson was going to be the easy vote for the night, Jennifer decided to vote for Mark. At tribal, Mark was sent home in a 5-2 vote. After tribal that night, Paul McAllister had a meltdown towards the whole tribe after being left out of the loop for the vote. Jennifer stayed quiet believing this would help her stay under the radar and put a bigger target on Paul's back instead of hers. On Day 12, Shimazu lost immunity again. Jennifer decided to vote alongside Crystal and Roy DeVega. After she was approached by Paul who believed he was on the bottom, she let him know that she was planning on voting for Alex. She felt like Alex was a strategic threat and needed to go. Paul decided to go along with the plan. At tribal, Alex was sent home in a 4-2 vote, only leaving Navya out of the loop. After tribal, Jennifer realized she needed to get rid of Navya after Navya told her she lost her trust with Jennifer. On Day 14, Shimazu lost immunity for the 3rd time. Jennifer felt like she was going to receive some votes that night. Jennifer ended up escaping tribal that night with 0 votes against her. The vote ended in a 2-2-1 tie between Navya and Crystal. Before tribal, Jennifer tricked Navya and Paul into voting for Crystal and told Crystal to vote for Paul. Jennifer managed to get Roy to vote with her. During the revote, Paul voted for Crystal again, but Jennifer and Roy voted for Navya, and Navya was sent home in a 2-1 revote. Back at camp, Jennifer let her other tribe members know that she was sorry she lied, but didn't think anyone else would vote for Navya other than Roy. On Day 17, Shimazu won immunity. Jennifer felt relieved since she believed she would have gone if Shimazu went to tribal that night.

On Day 18, Shimazu and the opposing tribe Takeda merged. Jennifer immediately started bonding with Takeda members. She let most of them know she didn't want to work with most of the Shimazu members. On Day 19, Jennifer won the first individual immunity challenge of the season. The win was crucial for Jennifer as she was a target right from the start of the merge by some of her former Shimazu members. Back at camp, Jennifer wanted to get rid of Crystal because she felt like Crystal was the most after her out of everyone. Jennifer immediately went over to Takeda members Kevin Jacobson, Grace Kim, and Ryan Williams. She told them that Crystal was the mastermind over at Shimazu and let them know that she wanted Crystal gone. They agreed right away to vote for Crystal and couldn't believe that the Shimazu members were going after each other. Jennifer let Roy and Paul know about the plan, who also agreed on taking out Crystal. At tribal, Crystal was blindsided in a 6-4 vote. On Day 21, Jennifer got last place in the immunity challenge. She became extremely annoyed after the challenge and couldn't believe she lost to 55 year-old Roy, and 50 year-old Margarita Chen-Chavez. Back at camp, Jennifer overheard Paul letting Roy know that he was planning on blowing up Jennifer's game. Before Jennifer could react, Tyler James was removed from the game after breaking his leg at the immunity challenge. Tribal was canceled that night and Paul's plans were put on hold. On Day 24, Jennifer knew it would be between herself and Paul at tribal. Paul threw out Jennifer's name at camp and went around telling everyone that Jennifer was a messy player and couldn't be trusted. At tribal, most of the tribe didn't believe Paul since he was an emotional player. Everyone voted for Paul that night and Paul was sent home in a unanimous 7-1 vote. Paul voted for Jennifer. On Day 27, Jennifer got into an altercation with Ryan over the tribe food. This caused Jennifer to hold a huge grudge against Ryan. Jennifer was later approached by Chris Hopkins to vote for Ryan. Jennifer happily agreed. Chris let Jennifer know that Roy and Margarita were planning on doing the same. At tribal, Jennifer received votes from Ryan, Kevin, and Grace. Jennifer ended up barely surviving the close 4-3 vote after Ryan was sent home. On Day 30, Jennifer became surprised on how long she lasted in the game. At tribal, Jennifer called out Chris for being a huge social and physical threat. She let it be known to everyone that Chris was her target that night. Jennifer got her wish, and Chris was sent home that night in a 4-2 vote. On Day 33, Jennifer decided to target mastermind Kevin. Roy let Jennifer know that he was sticking with her and wanted Shimazu to stay strong. Jennifer then tried to persuade Margarita into also voting for Kevin. Jennifer knew Margarita was the swing vote because she knew Kevin and Grace were going to stick together due to being tight and would vote for her. At tribal, Margarita stuck with her former Takeda members and Jennifer was sent home in a close 3-2 vote. Jennifer finished in 5th place and became the 5th member of the jury.

At Final Tribal Council, Jennifer praised Kevin for outsmarting almost everyone. She then asked Grace what her 3 biggest moves were that she made on her own. Grace told Jennifer that getting her out was 1 of her big moves, which Jennifer disagreed with and believed Kevin made that move. Grace then let Jennifer know that she built more personal relationships with everyone than Kevin did. Jennifer agreed with that statement and also let both finalists know that she wanted to see a girl win the first season. Jennifer voted for Grace to win, but Grace lost to Kevin in a close 4-3 vote.
