Survivor Jenna Puts Family First

[Bill in SD, CA]

Was tough to watch - for me at least.

In an unexpected and unforgettable "Survivor" first, Pittsburgh native Jenna Morasca voluntarily withdrew from Survivor All Stars during last night's episode. As she tearfully explained to her teammates on the Mogo Mogo tribe, she felt an overwhelming need to return home to be with her mother who was battling cancer.

Jenna's fateful decision turned out to be the right one, as her mother had taken a serious turn for the worse. Just eight days after Jenna returned home, her mother, Carla Morasca, lost her 12-year battle with cancer

Way to go Jenna! Family comes first...sorry to hear about her loss.

I can't remember who, but a few of the other All-Stars say that in no
small words that equivocates to Jenna M. being a quitter. It's all 20-20
hindsight of course, with her Mom dying 8 days later.

Not to sound heartless, but how smart is Jenna for trying to do this
game in the 1st place when her Mom was lying sick on her deathbed?

The funniest part of all this is that Jenna threw a wrench into the
plans of the producers with some elaborate immunity challenge that'll
probably go to waste.

elaborate? moving blocks around to finish a puzzle is elaborate? oh, and btw Jeff Probst, err ablang, thanks for your comments. I have filled them into the according trash can. Don't you think that maybe she got onto the show with the plans of winning so she could help her mom out with bills, and her family? I applaud her for coming to grips with the fact that her mom was so close to dieing, and forgoing winning the cash. it is just a <censored> game show. She got to say goodbye to her only mom. Jeff Probst, like you ablang, is a spineless idiot. Why did he have to grill her like that? Why ask all the other teams what they thought? Her choice, her mom, her life.

Leave her alone!
