Occupation: Nanny


Jen is a 23-year-old Nanny, Estate Manager, and Bikini Model from Beverly Hills, California. She never completed her double major in Architecture and Early Childhood Development. On July 29th during the live feeds, she admitted to Kail that she worked as a Nanny for Vanna White. Mike "Boogie" from Chilltown has reported that he helped train her. Her previous television appearances include playing for the NY Euphoria in the 2006 Lingerie Bowl and has said she appeared on an episode of Wheel of Fortune before being employed by Vanna White. Jen was also an extra on the show Las Vegas. She was a girl sitting poolside in a red bikini in the episode, "Wagers of Sin."

While in the House, she has been criticized for being very vain and only thinking of herself. During the first week, she cried over her Memory Wall Photo and, during the week she was HoH, she took down the only picture of her mother from the wall (in her HoH room) because she thought it was a bad picture of herself. Jen's family and friends have told producers and the public that Jen is "playing dumb" in the House and Jen has claimed that it takes time to get to know her real personality.

Jen won one Head of Household Competition (Week 2) and two Power of Veto Competitions (Weeks 3 and 5). She also won a red Unitard during the Power of Veto Competition (Week 2).

On Day 36, during the Power of Veto Competition, "Numbers Don't Lie," Jen agreed to wear a bunny suit for five days, have funk dumped on her twenty-four times in twenty-four hours, eat slop for thirty days, and give up half of her prize money should she make it to the end of the game. This meant that Jen was only eligible to win $250,000 if she won Big Brother. On Day 52, during the Power of Veto Ceremony, Daniele (as HoH and Veto Holder that week) used the Power of Veto to take Amber off the block and replace her with Jen. Later that day, Jen became the first HouseGuest to defy the slop rules, eating a turkey burger, cottage cheese, and an apple. She originally received a Penalty Nomination for the following week, but on Day 53, this was replaced with a Penalty Eviction Vote against her in the next Eviction.

On Day 55, Jen was evicted from the Big Brother 8 House by a unanimous vote of 6 to 0 (including the Penalty Eviction Vote). She was the seventh HouseGuest evicted and, although Jen had threatened she would not participate in the Jury, became the second member of the Jury and stuck it out until the end of the game.
