Survivor Amazon Winner, Jenna Morasca, Takes on Professional Wrestling

Survivor Amazon winner, Jenna Morasca is launching a new career in professional wrestling. Jenna will star in Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling on Spike TV on Thursday nights at 9:00 PM. "I've been a fan of professional wrestling my entire life. If there's anything tougher than competing - and winning - a season of Survivor' it's the world of TNA. I'm excited to meet a legend like Mick Foley and the other superstars of TNA: Kurt Angle, Kevin Nash and the rest of the Main Event Mafia," Morasca said.

Jenna is also the host of Survivor Live on CBS.com replacing Survivor's first winner, Richard Hatch. Jenna was recently named one of Reality Television's Hottest Stars by the New York Post. She has also made the "100 Most Wanted Bodies" list in Self Magazine. Jenna has also posed for the cover of Playboy magazine with her close friend, Heidi Strobel, another former Survivor contestant. The issue quickly became one of Playboy's top selling issues and earned Jenna another cool $1,000,000.

In late 2008, Jenna filmed the End Game with former Olympic Champion and pro wrestler, Kurt Angle. The movie was filmed on location in Pittsburgh and was a homecoming event for South Fayette native, Morasca, and Mt. Lebanon native, Engle.

Jenna has been dating fellow Survivor winner, Ethan Zohn for the past five years. They met while starring in a special reality star edition of Fear Factor. The duo also starred in The Watcher, a 20 minute horror movie included in the Drive-In Horror Show series set for release later this year. In April 2009, Zohn was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma and Morasca has been by side throughout his battle with cancer. Ironically, both Ethan and Jenna have lost a parent to cancer.

In 2004 while participating Survivor All Stars, Morasca made a tearful decision to leave the show and return home to her dying mother who had been battling cancer for 12 years. Eight days after Jenna returned to her hometown of South Fayette, her mother sadly passed away.

After graduating from South Fayette High School in 1999, Jenna attended the University of Pittsburgh and took a year off from school to participate in Survivor Amazon. She earned a psychology degree in June from Argosy University as a promise to her father after winning Survivor.
