{{Main|Survivor: Cook Islands}}
Penner was a contestant on ''[[Survivor: Cook Islands]]'' in 2006. He was one of the original five members of the Rarotonga tribe (Raro). He quickly became notorious among the cast for stealing another tribe's chicken on the first day. In episode three, the four tribes evenly divided into two new mixed tribes, Aitutaki and Rarotonga. Penner found himself on Aitutaki (Aitu). While a member of Aitu, he became part of an alliance that consisted of [[Yul Kwon (Survivor)|Yul Kwon]], [[Survivor: Cook Islands|Candice Woodcock]], [[Becky Lee]] and [[Survivor: Cook Islands|Sundra Oakley]]. This alliance lasted until episode eight when the members of Aitu and Raro were offered a chance to mutiny by joining the opposing tribe. Penner, along with [[Survivor: Cook Islands|Woodcock]], chose to leave Aitu for Raro, the only two survivors to accept the offer. After the merge, he flipped again and voted with the former Aitus. Ultimately, Yul voted him out to appease the former Raro members, who viewed Jonathan as a two-faced rat for having betrayed them. He was the fourteenth person voted out, finishing in seventh place. As his torch was snuffed, he turned to the Final Six and asked,"And I'd like my hat back at some time.", then left. Jonathan humbly voted for [[Yul Kwon|Yul]] in the final tribal council.

Main article: Survivor: Philippines

Penner returned to play the game for a third time on Survivor: Philippines, the 25th season of Survivor.[11] He was one of the three returning players who had been medically evacuated during their previous season, the others being Michael Skupin (Survivor: The Australian Outback) and Russell Swan (Survivor: Samoa). During the season, Penner worked quite closely with castaway and fellow actress Lisa Whelchel.[12] He ended up being the 11th person voted out, placing seventh overall, which is where he had also finished the first time he participated on Survivor.[13] At the Final Tribal Council, he voted for Denise Stapley to win after claiming that Skupin and Whelchel were "ridden in like oxen" by Stapley, who indeed proved to be the eventual winner.[14]

In total, Penner has spent 78 days playing the Survivor game.[15] In an interview following his departure from Survivor: Philippines, he said he would be open to returning for another season.[16]
