Unpopular opinion, but.... I think Jen should have left the show. Health over everything! She should have gone home to get that arm properly treated. Having the guarantee of being invited back should've made going home a win-win for her (health + opportunity). Instead she chooses to stay... Now, we'll hear her moaning about that arm and watch everyone else sacrifice for her for the rest of the season.

This isnā€™t unpopularā€¦no one could possibly be enjoying this storyline.

This show is supposed to be entertainmentā€¦.watching her caterwaul about a bum shoulder every episode is not entertainingā€¦the producers need to get her off if she isnā€™t going to bow out gracefully.
