Jesusita "Susie" Smith
Gabon's quiet survivor who got ranked least important, won the immunities that mattered, and lost by a single vote.
Known for
Susie got picked for Fang by Crystal Cox and then ranked by her own tribe as its least important member. The swap put her on a Kota tribe that won almost everything, but when an individual challenge exposed her, she nearly talked herself out the door by telling Corinne Kaplan she wanted her gone. Kota kept her over the threatening Dan Kay anyway.
A second switch made Susie the swing vote, and once Crystal told her Marcus Lehman had promised them both a final-three seat, she jumped to the Fang side and helped vote him out. That flip turned the game. She won the first immunity after the merge as Fang dismantled the Onion Alliance, then, with Bob Crowley, Matty Whitmore and Sugar Kiper close, won the final immunity over Matty. She tried to vote out Bob, but he survived by winning fire. Corinne roasted her at Final Tribal, and Bob won 4-3-0, with Crystal, Ken Hoang and Matty backing Susie.
