Challenge Roadblock: Can Jenna Stay In The Game -- Despite Zach's Distractions?

A lover's quarrel crossed nation lines on the latest Total Madness episode once Jenna — who's been dating fellow Challenge competitor Zach on and off for years — wound up in a video-chat back and forth with her beau over old DMs. And while Jenna insisted she offered to live in the game, segment of her felt obligated to head residence and patch up the couple's fissures.


So to put it simply: Can she summon the strength to stay, or will she go?


As stir craziness continued to consume the cast's underground quarters, Jenna wondered why Zach seemed to be dodging her calls. Finally, thanks to a little bit of intel from her friend Nicole, Jenna got some answers: Zach was angry right after looking through Jenna's messages and finding conversations lose had with other guys.


Jenna, though, insisted lose done nothing wrong. Because she and Zach had damaged up and reconciled a couple of times since making their relationship official, they'd seen other people while in lulls, and Jenna mentioned the messages Zach had seen had been sent and procured while in a breakup.


"What I did While I was single is my company Jenna insisted.


Finally, as soon as she made contact with Zach, one thing was apparent: He was pissed. He mentioned Jenna had lied about who she was "as a person" and proceeded to accuse her of cheating a handful of times. Finally, he rejected to tell Jenna he loved her because "that's how bad it is."


All this, Jenna's close pals Nany and Aneesa mentioned, was simply extra evidence of Zach's compulsion to control Jenna. Even Jordan called Zach's demand for Jenna to come residence totally unfair."


"Saying their relationship is slightly tumultuous could be a understatement," Aneesa mentioned. "Zach's treated her like sh*t for the last two years. I want Jenna to stay."


"That's really f*cked up of him," Nany added. "Zach of all people is aware what it's like to be in this game, so to call her and stress her out more just shows how selfish he really is."


Jenna continued to wrestle with the possibility of going house, and players like Tori and Dee started to imagine the idea that — even if Jenna stayed — trim be an easy conquer in Purgatory and also an eas means to a Red Skull.


However soon after thinking things over, and right after a veiled warning from TJ, Jenna determined to stay and compete. Further, thanks to stellar performances by Nany and Jordan in "Fast and Irritated which challenged players to accumulate a puzzle in pairs with pieces they'd collected from the side of a large, moving truck, Jenna even noticed herself in Tribunal because the winners' pick for third member.


Still, a good chunk of the cast wondered if Jenna would use her power in the game to throw herself into Purgatory and genuinely fight for a Red Skull or simply use her position in the Tribunal as a means to quietly eliminate herself from the game.


"If Jenna goes into elimination and gets a Red Skull, in her mind, she's meant to be here," Nany mentioned. "If not, I guess she'll just go house and deal with her bullsh*t life with Zach."


What do you think: Can Jenna keep her head in the game, and if she does determine to volunteer for a spot in Purgatory, will she give it all she's got?
