After a hot start to her career, the Barbie Beast has cooled off considerably.
She and Jay made the final in their rookie season on Exes II, mainly because they were kept around as a layup (although they did shockingly win the trivia mission). They both had a terrible performance in the final, and ultimately quit when Jay couldn’t put down the fishy drink.
Jenna had her best season on Bloodlines, winning eliminations against Christina, Larissa and KellyAnne, carrying her cousin Brianna to a third-place finish.
On Rivals III, Jenna and Vince were one of the best teams throughout the season, although they benefited tremendously from Bananas and Sarah’s dominance and never having to see an elimination the entire season.
Despite not making the final since Rivals III, Jenna’s next two seasons were still impressive. She was able to take out Anika and Sylvia on Invasion before getting purged out at the end.
After losing to Kailah early on Dirty 30, she won her way back into the game from the Redemption House. Her alliance with Kailah, Tori, Cara and Camila got her to the very end without having to see another elimination, until she was once again purged out.
Jenna didn’t even get a chance to get in the main house on Final Reckoning, as she and Jemmye were purged on the opening mission.
Jenna and Gus were a decent team on War of the Worlds, making it to the tribunal once, but they were taken out by Bear and Da’Vonne in Push & Pole.
Just when it seemed like her days of being a strong competitor were over, she shocked everyone on Total Madness by taking out Tori in Dust to Dust. But her streak of missing the final was extended to five seasons in a row, as she was sent home by Aneesa in Bombs Out.
While Jenna clearly isn’t a strategic mastermind, she’s generally liked by most of the cast (other than her feuds with Amanda), and is rarely targeted early.
She’s basically the female version of Leroy, in that they have both had solid careers but will likely never get a victory. She’s in the good-but-not-elite category, and she’ll likely remain there for the rest of her career.
