When Jenna Morasca returned home after winning SURVIVOR: AMAZON, food was foremost on her mind. "I couldn't wait to come home and eat for hours," she remembers, "especially my Gramma Suzie's homemade spaghetti. It's to die for!" When she was tapped for ALL-STARS, Jenna was happy to go a second time, but illness in her family made her reevaluate her decision, and she chose to return home. Coming home from SURVIVOR was "an amazing experience" for Jenna: "You realize how much you take people and things for granted. It really made me open my eyes and be more appreciative."

These days, Jenna's hectic schedule has her living out of a suitcase, dividing her time between Los Angeles, New York and Pennsylvania. "I just finished filming the 'all-reality' movie called 'The Scorned' that premieres September 24 on E!, and I recently did a feature film called 'Hack,'" she begins. "I am also coming back to host SURVIVOR LIVE with Dalton Ross every Friday on CBS.com. In my hometown in Pennsylvania, I started my own business called Model Challenge USA (www.modelchallengeusa.com), which is a nationwide model search. Our first annual finals are scheduled for this October."

When not working on her "day jobs," Jenna keeps busy with charity work. "I am still heavily involved with helping [boyfriend and fellow SURVIVOR winner] Ethan Zohn's charity Grassroot Soccer and other charities close to my heart, like PETA, Animal Friends (www.animal-friends.org), Breast Cancer awareness and any other cause that hurts my heart or helps animals."

If you think Jenna's schedule leaves her no time to have fun, think again. "I have fun every day of my life," she insists. "I think it's really important to enjoy what you do, and I definitely do. I love the people I work around every day. My business Model Challenge USA is run by my good friends Jen, Stacey and Cheryl." Jenna actually finds time to have fun outside of her work and charity ventures. "I try to surround myself with positive people and positive energy," she smiles. "I enjoy being around my family and friends, and my dog, Rocky. I love eating--food is love to me--and seeing movies! Ethan is a great movie date."

Jenna's days as a castaway may be over, but she'll always be a Survivor. As a result of having been on the show, she says, "I have been able to experience things, people, places, and events I would never have been able to. I was also able to grow and learn more about myself than most people do in a lifetime. That is the biggest gift for me." For SURVIVOR fans, Jenna has a special message: "I would just like to thank all the Survivor fans for supporting me and the show. I wouldn't be where I am without the fans and all my friends and family."
