On both
Survivor: Borneo and
All-Stars, chatterbox Jenna Lewis talked endlessly about being a single mom who'd left her twins, Sadie and Sabrina, 7, behind in Burbank, Calif. So even some of her fellow
All-Stars were shocked to learn during the reunion show that she was hitched – to model Travis Wolfe, 21. "I was a single mom," says Lewis, 26, who dabbles in writing and TV work. "I just got married! I wasn't lying!" The pair met in March, after she got back from Panama, at an L.A. restaurant. "I spotted [another] guy across the room and I turned to my girlfriend and said, 'Do you think he's cute?' And Travis looked up and said, 'Are you talking about me?' I said, 'No, but do you need your ego stroked?' Love at first sight. I knew right away." In Las Vegas on May 1, Wolfe got down on one knee and proposed with a sapphire ring. "We wed at the Candlelight Chapel," says Lewis. "Just us. No alcohol was involved. I don't know if it was the same chapel Britney went to. I'm hoping not." And she kept it all hush-hush because . . . the network thought that best: "I was going to tell people spontaneously because it feels really right. But CBS asked me to keep it under wraps to be revealed live."

When
Survivor: Amazon champ Jenna Morasca left the island in tears to be with her dying mother, Ethan Zohn could barely let her go. "I hugged her," says the
Survivor: Africa winner, 30. "I almost ripped her shoulder blade off." But let her go he did: The two had decided not to show any affection on the island, even though they'd been growing closer ever since June 2003, when they were spotted kissing at a party for her
Playboy photo shoot. ("We'd make eyes at each other at the challenges," he says.) Before All-Stars, Zohn, whose father died when he was 14, spent time with Morasca's family in Pittsburgh as they coped with her mom's illness. "I'd scream or yell or be hysterical," says model Morasca, 23, "and I didn't have to explain why." (Her mother died Nov. 19.)
Crashing at his New York apartment when she visits from Pittsburgh, Morasca and Zohn spend their downtime watching TV ("We're big reality TV people," she says. "Love
The Swan"). Despite their combined $2 million winnings, she adds, "We don't go to fancy restaurants." In November they'll go to Africa for his sports-related AIDS awareness program, Grassroot Soccer. And to think she was underwhelmed when they first met last year. At her
Survivor victory party, Morasca recalls, "He congratulated me and gave me this half-drunk beer! I was like, 'What a punk!' "
