The Challenge 40's Jenny opens up about the final puzzle controversy

In a conversation with Entertainment Weekly, The Challenge 40 winner talks about one of the biggest controversies of this season. Ever since the veteran took home another big win, fans have been buzzing about how Jenny's final puzzle was incorrect, and yet she ended up winning the game.

During this interview, Jennifer West finally expresses how she felt about the whole controversy and how she could have easily completed the puzzle.

"What's really frustrating is I would never feel satisfied taking a win for a challenge if I didn't think I should have had the win. If those two pieces were wrong, at no point was I told they were by production. And let's just say they are wrong — it wouldn't have taken me more than about 15 seconds to just knock the bottom one out a little bit, take the top one off, slide it through to replace it, and then switch them around."

She also explains how she believes she would still have won the challenge, even if the puzzle required switching a few pieces. She further states that her victory was well-deserved as she gave her all to the game, keeping in mind how the challenge would affect not just her with her partner, Rachel.

"Regardless of if I had to switch two pieces, I still would've won. I still deserved to win it because I killed myself for it knowing it's our necks on the line — I needed to win or Rachel needed to win, and that was it. It irritates me to think that I've had messages sent to me saying, 'You don't deserve to be in that final.' F*ck you. Yes, I do. I killed myself there, and I deserve this."

She also reveals the kind of criticism she has been receiving from fans ever since the final challenge.
