Jennifer 'Jenn' Lyon was a 33-year-old Nanny from Encino, California when she competed on Survivor: Palau. A University of Colorado Boulder graduate, Jenn formed a showmance with Gregg Carey and was part of the dominant Koror alliance throughout the season. She was known for her sweet personality and strong social game, though she clashed with Tom Westman whom she viewed as chauvinistic. Jenn finished in 4th place and was the 6th jury member after being voted out when she couldn't win immunity at the final four. Tragically, Jenn was diagnosed with breast cancer shortly after filming and passed away on January 19, 2010 at age 37, with many of her Palau castmates attending her funeral and the Survivor community honoring her memory at the show's 10-year anniversary party.
