== Gameplay ==
=== Dynamic Duos ===
Kathlyn debuted on Dynamic Duos after anticipating the game since she applied. On the Pussies Tribe, she got along with everyone. She was very talkative, which naturally made her appear as a bigger personality, which always has a very equal share of pros and cons. They were very prominent in Chaos & Cum, leading to the cast-wide crash of iMessage through many pictures of Timmy Burch from South Park. A part of the Redemption Arc alliance, they were in a safe spot facing any tribal councils that may come her way. When it came to the challenges, she had an average but sufficient performance. She really excelled at Music Mania, though, placing first out of all fourteen participants. Comfortable with her allies, she was able to make it to the merge with the entire alliance except for her duo, Max, who was shot down right before Pusgatti formed.
At the merge, Kathlyn was able to find the Pusgatti idol! This put her in a great spot, but things got very complicated very quickly after the easy elimination of Maheen and tribal occurred once again. When it comes to the game, the smallest flaw in strategy can prove to be fatal. This was exemplified when Kathlyn and her #1, Stella Evans, decided to turn on their very own alliance in order to "keep other alliances." Ayla was sent home as a result but the alliance stayed intact for the most part. The alliance sought to eliminate Josh next for being one of the biggest players. However, the Insomniacs had their sights set on Kathlyn. Her talkative personality eventually grew too much, and they were ready for her to go. The final straw was most likely her being on the wrong side of an argument regarding a math question in the GimKit Trivia as well as excessively asking for clarification on directions. In an unprecedented tribal, both Kathlyn and Josh played their respective immunity idols, and Stella ended up going home at the end of the night. The targets remained the same for the next few days. Kathlyn was able to snag another idol, sending Josh home. She went home herself the following night, becoming the fourth member of the jury. She later voted for Lady to win.
=== Mystery Island ===
Kathlyn returned as one of the six veterans on Mystery Island and was on the Sylvaner Tribe with familiar players Jada Kim and Adrian Caruso. Later in the day, Jada formed the Koochie Killerz with Kathlyn and Adrian. Other returnees Meg and Emilee would later join the group. At the very beginning, Kathlyn got into beef with Karina Doyhopper, someone she knew in real life. Karina took immense pleasure in causing as much chaos, but it did not affect Kathlyn all too much. Things went well as Sylvaner won each immunity challenge and Karina quit, solving any future problems. On Day 5, a tribe swap occurred, and Kathlyn remained on Sylvaner. There were three Koochie Killerz in total, giving half the votes. Kathlyn shed blood sweat and tears over getting a good score on Silky Jigsaw to redeem her flop last season, but it had no effect in the grand scheme of things as Sophia never submitted. She was later voted off 5-1. At this point, Kathlyn and the rest of the alliance were ready to see Corri Crissinger go. She was getting on everybody's nerves, and also began spreading a false narrative about Kathlyn to Meg, which was later relayed back to her. Sylvaner kept losing until the eventual merge. Kathlyn had the audacity to believe that she was capable of math and tried to help during 21 Flags, but it was in vain. Either way, the alliance stayed strong and Kamilla and Elias went home before the merge.
A big surprise came with the merge. Ailish O'Hara joined the game! ...and Kathlyn was not thrilled. She immediately informed her alliance that she wanted to get her out (after Corri of course) claiming that she isn't a good person. She also mentioned how Ailish betrayed her entire alliance in Dynamic Duos, completely failing to acknowledge that she did the exact same thing by voting Ayla out, royally screwing everyone's long-term game. Time progressed as normal. Kathlyn was doing amazing at the immunity challenges, placing high each time! Corri was voted out effortlessly after the first tribal, and the auction followed where Kathlyn won a trip to Mystery Island. Unfortunately, she failed her test, which resulted in losing the ability to vote. During Where U At?, she was petrified of 🥛 being a recent on Rian's phone. She ended up making a funny as hell remark, as shown in the photo. Losing their vote made no difference though as Bailey was ejected the following tribal. On Day 12, a never before-seen twist was unleashed, where whoever scored the lowest in Entanglement would be instantly eliminated. Back in her debut season, Kathlyn never fully read the directions, which is one of the major reasons everyone labeled her annoying and wanted her out so badly; they were TIRED of her asking questions that were explicitly stated in the directions! In her second season, she never learned from her mistake, and thought this was a standard immunity challenge. She had the lowest score of 148, and was eliminated, placing 8th for the second time in a row. She remained in the Koochie Killerz group chat to stay updated on the drama. Kathlyn later voted for Adrian to win.
=== Y2K ===
==== Family ====
After flopping with directions yet again, Kathlyn made her third appearance on Y2K as a member of the Favorites Tribe. She had two personal goals to conquer: beat her previous performances of 8th place and READ DIRECTIONS! She fell into a good social place right away. By Day 2, she had two alliances. Her main one, DOMINATORS, consisted of herself, bestie and past ally Stella, and former enemy (but season 9 brother) Josh. She and Stella were also in a superficial alliance with Ollie, which Kathlyn had no intention of staying loyal to. Kathlyn killed it in the Scavenger Hunt and yet again, placed very high in Music Mania! Fortunately, she avoided all three tribals before swapping onto the Hilton Tribe on Day 7.
==== Hilton Obsession ====
Kathlyn fell into yet another comfortable spot on Hilton, despite being separated from DOMINATORS. She worked closely with Lady during Tribe Pride to create the flag. Even though the Paris theme was shining strong, Kathlyn desperately wanted a hotel on there to really bring home the Hilton symbolism. She pleaded and pleaded, but to no avail. The final product did not come with a hotel, but it was okay as Hilton scored first, which later allowed them to win Everybody Is Here! After she was upset at missing out on Mystery Island, Kathlyn was ecstatic to learn that That's Hot would be the next challenge! She was so excited to compete, especially since she would nail photography as her mother is experienced with taking photos of food. She had a solid plan to make brownies, and it would've been a smooth journey if it wasn't for Kai standing in the way. He was adamant in doing dessert as well, and came up with alternatives for Kathlyn, some of which involved buying edible glitter. She expressed her frustration in some of the best videos in Y2K: The Complete Confessions. In the end, she was able to do dessert and Hilton was safe for the challenge. From here, she had a straight-shot path to the merge. They were due for a joint tribal, but Lady united everyone and they took out Anthony. Afterwards, Angel swept in and saved them from a fate worse than death in Supersona, and Kathlyn made it onto the Spears Tribe!
==== True Loyalty ====
She reunited with DOMINATORS, and the lone survivor of Lohan, Leo Figueiredo, joined the alliance which resulted in the birth of The Ultimate Sigmas. The game was only going to get more difficult from here. At the first individual immunity challenge, Kathlyn already got a mini-redemption by winning Entanglement! Ironically, it was a double-win alongside Kai. The first tribal council was extremely easy as just about everyone was set on voting off Ollie. She and her alliance progressed to the auction after Ollie was taken out by a 9-2 vote. He was left in the dark too as Kathlyn orchestrated the fake-out plan that Chelsea was the target. Kathlyn purchased a Mystery Item for all her money, and it ended up being the Advantage View! She and her whole alliance won immunity in Family Feud, and the proceeded to target Angel. Unfortunately, rough planning by Josh resulted in Chelsea’s elimination. At this point, Josh forged fake screenshots to incriminate Angel, claiming that he wants Kathlyn out and that she is very annoying. This made Kathlyn want to get him out even more, and this would stick with her to the end of the season. The general target moved off of Angel and onto Emily after she won Cheap Thrills and was freaking everyone out. Kathlyn then used her advantage to see if she was hiding anything, to which she wasn’t. Kathlyn won immunity in Battle Royale, which was perfect for the impending events of Double Birthday. Everyone went haywire, including Kathlyn who continued to bully Stella over her crush and say out-of-pocket things regarding a plushie. The end result in the game was six people immune, and a re-vote between Leo and Kai. Sticking with the alliance, Kai was sent to jury, and Emily would be taken out next in a 3*-3-1 vote. In the style of World Tour finalist Michaela Duquette, Kathlyn became a spy, playing both sides. Her true loyalty was with The Ultimate Sigmas, but she was a part of the opposing KALE alliance, and leaked all their plans. They effectively got rid of Emily and Kathlyn threw away all suspicion on her. After, she try-harded in I Want Watermelon and won! With this win, she was finally able to take out Angel, and the “fake” alliance dissolved. The only lasting concern was Logan finding the last idol, but Kathlyn was quicker and got it for herself! Logan was doomed and got voted off on Day 27. Now at the final four, it was just The Ultimate Sigmas. Kathlyn and Stella decided to reside with the true DOMINATORS, and Leo was voted off. At final three, Kathlyn received two votes while Josh and Stella tied. Per Gauntlet rules, she held the power in her hands to determine the winner of Y2K. As seen coming a mile away, she chose Stella, and she won the season! This season showcased Kathlyn’s best performance yet and she became the first recipient of the new Narrator Reward! Despite the amazing gameplay, the only thing that stood between her and victory was the decision not to flip. Her victory would’ve most likely been guaranteed if she did, but she chose not to, which makes statements about her character.
