Maybe. But I know she was shaking she was so upset, and she had been becoming more withdrawn according to her tribemates. I've seen situations where family just knows when something bad is happening.

When my Grandmother passed away a year and a half ago, she saw all four of her children and 12 of 17 grandchildren on that very day. She had been in and out of the hospital for years and she wasn't in real bad shape that day, but my uncle from Georgia came up to Missouri to be with her, even though he was in chemo for Luekemia and feeling weak, simply because he felt like he needed to see her. My Dad went with my Mom, who was a frequent visitor, because he felt that my Mom was extra tense about seeing her Mother that weekend.

All of us grandkids, including those who didn't get to see her that last day, had called her earlier that week, just because she was on our minds a lot. I'm pretty sure CBS didn't have anything to do with that, so you can see how I might understand how Jenna could have just "felt" that her Mother was taking a turn for the worst.

My brother has cancer. He's battled it for many years. I live in California, and he's in Texas.

I went to Texas this summer for an anniversary party for him. I knew that he didn't look good, and I thought something was up with him.

A few weeks later, he found out that the cancer was back and in his brain.

I think maybe Jenna thought it was a short time (40 days), and she could handle it. However once she was out there, she started getting worried. Then to add to the fact that she's sleep deprived, dehydrated, lonely, etc, I'm sure she was a mess.

This is not like when Osten pulled out. Her mom did die a little over a week later.
