Jennifer Lynn "Jen" Schubert (née DiTurno) was a houseguest on Big Brother 9 (US).
Jen entered the game with her boyfriend Ryan Quicksall, planning to keep it a secret from the house. However, Jen was paired up with Parker Somerville for the soulmate twist. After winning the Power Couple competition, Jen and Parker decided to evict Jacob Heald and Sharon Obermueller after Jacob had attempted to stir the pot by telling Jen that people had been calling Parker a snake whilst refusing to tell Jen and Parker who said it. Despite planning to keep their relationship a secret, Jen was forced to tell Parker along with Ryan’s partner Allison Nichols about their relationship due to Sharon’s last ditch effort of telling Parker that it was Ryan who called him a snake leading to Parker wanting to evict Ryan. After Alex Coladonato and Amanda Hansen won Head of Household, Jen and Parker decided to tell the rest of the house about their relationship in fear that Allison would leak the secret first. However, this move only caused their other houseguests to be angry at them for lying resulting in the pair being nominated alongside Allison and Ryan. Despite being nominated against her boyfriend, Jen refused to give up and continued to campaign against him throughout the week. However, it was all for naught as Jen’s personality had rubbed the other houseguests the wrong way and resulted in her and Parker being evicted in a 3-1 vote at the end of the week, placing 13th.
