Suzette began the game and took power quickly, becoming the first Head of Household. Suzette had to instantly nominate two houseguests based of first impressions. Suzette decided to nominate Emmett Blois and Tom Plant, seeing that they were already bonding and because she saw them as physical threats. This sparked a rivalry between Suzette and Tom, which would last for the remainder of the game. After Tom won the Power of Veto, Suzette turned her target to Kat Yee, as Kat had come off as very aggressive in her campaigns. Suzette nominated her as a replacement nominee, and she was evicted by a vote of 11-1.
The following week, Suzette was able to stay safe after Jillian MacLaughlin won HOH, due to a deal she had made the previous week. Suzette began to work with Danielle Alexander and Gary Levy. However, this soon led to Suzette being blindsided at Danielle’s eviction. After Tom won HOH, Suzette had a meltdown, angrily yelling at Tom. This prompted Tom to target her as they had already had a previous rivalry, and she was nominated alongside her ally Gary. After Tom won the POV, he saved Gary and nominated AJ Burman, in order to ensure Suzette’s eviction.
Suzette seemed to be on her way home, until Canada was given the opportunity to take one of the nominees from the block. Canada voted to save Suzette, much to the dismay of the other houseguests. After Gary won HOH, Suzette was able to remain safe and voted with the majority of the house to evict Tom, who had quickly become a house target and was evicted later that week. Despite being nominated as a pawn in the Double Eviction, Suzette stayed against Liza Stinton in a unanimous vote.
After Alec Beall won HOH the next week, the majority of the house agreed they wanted Suzette out before jury, due to fear she would be a bitter juror. Alec nominated her alongside AJ, and after her and Gary failed to win the POV, Suzette was evicted by a vote of 6-1, only receiving Gary’s vote to stay, placing 10th and becoming the final houseguest of the season to be evicted before the jury phase.
