A member of the Mosso tribe, Catherine became close with Nathalie Penigaud early into the game and the two formed an alliance with Nicolas Maire. When the Mosso tribe lost the third Immunity Challenge, Catherine and her alliance voted against Mama El Fayed for her difficulty performing in challenges and for tensions between her and Nathalie and Nicolas, but the rest of the tribe voted out Nathalie for her bossiness. However, when Mama was evacuated and eliminated from the game on Day 10 after being deemed to be in too much pain to continue, Nathalie returned to the game in her place. Though most of the tribe was initially annoyed about Nathalie's return, Nathalie changed her approach to the game and proved to her tribe that she could be less bossy, which allowed for her relationship with the tribe to restart on a clean slate. When Nicolas was evacuated and eliminated from the game on Day 12 due to having contracted both a knee infection and gastroenteritis, Sébastien Roullé returned to the game on the Mosso tribe in his place.
When the Tana tribe won the fifth Reward Challenge on Day 13, they were rewarded with the right to permanently kidnap one of the members of the Mosso tribe as part of a tribe switch. Ludovic Laresche, who was seen as the leader of the Tana tribe during that challenge, was told by Denis Brogniart to make the decision for his tribe. Ludovic chose Sébastien, who was originally on the Tana tribe before his first elimination. As the fifth cycle progressed, the affinities between Nathalie and the other individual members of the Mosso tribe increased and, this time, she had earned their respect for her as a leader. The sole exception to these group dynamics was Alain Ponton, who had not yet approached Nathalie to make amends. This made Alain stand out socially in the Mosso tribe and, when they lost the fifth Immunity Challenge, he was voted out at the corresponding Tribal Council by the women and Jean-Claude Errin. During Tribal Council on Day 18, Denis Brogniart revealed to the Mosso tribe that Jean-Claude, who had been evacuated earlier in the cycle for a hand wound, would not be returning to the game because it was not recovering. This allowed for Alain to return to the game in his place and he was immune for that Tribal Council because his return took place during that Tribal Council. Unfortunately for Mika, this left the women with no other option and they sorrowfully voted him out. At the Mosso tribe's last two Tribal Councils, Catherine received votes against her from Alain and Mika Lelièvre on both occasions for seeming weak.
Before the tribes merged, Nathalie and Gaëlle Zanetton were selected as the Ambassadors for their respective tribes and visited their rivals' camps. While away from their tribes, Gaëlle talked to the Mosso tribe members about their camp, which she considered superior to her tribe's own, and Nathalie talked to the Tana tribe members about working with them strategically going forward, though the Tana tribe members were left somewhat confused because Nathalie first claimed that she would write down Alain's name at the Ambassadors' Meeting and that they should vote him out at the merged tribe's first Tribal Council, but then claimed that she would instead go for a draw because she didn't have the heart to write any of her tribemates' names down. Ultimately, at the Ambassadors' Meeting, Nathalie and Gaëlle decided upon Estelle Granger, to Nathalie's reluctance. When Nathalie revealed this to her tribe, her tribemates respected her decision, but claimed that they would've opted for a draw if they were in her place because they were going to be pagonged anyway. They were right about this and Estelle was eliminated by the original Tana members at the merged tribe's first Tribal Council.
At the Final Nine, Nathalie tried to shake things up by telling François-David Cardonnel and Émilie Frahi that they were at the bottom of their alliance in order to turn the original Tana tribe members against each other. When Nathalie tried to get confirmation from Catherine about her claims in front of the original Tana tribe members, Catherine reminded her that she didn't want to get involved in her approaches and walked away. Feeling that Catherine wasn't working with her, Nathalie avoided talking to Catherine when the latter tried to approach the former to fix things and she even contemplated quitting the game altogether. However, Nathalie eventually cooled off and tried talking to Catherine again, but not before telling the original Tana tribe members that Catherine had made the same observations about the alliance's dynamics as she had in order to solidify her claims. This was seen as a betrayal by Catherine and she rejected any of Nathalie's attempts to talk to her. Though the original Tana tribe members originally intended to vote out Alain at the merge tribe's second Tribal Council because he was the strongest in challenges out of the remaining original Mosso tribe members, ultimately, Nathalie was voted out unanimously as she was considered the source of drama around camp. In spite of the original Tana tribe members being grated by Catherine's overall negativity since the beginning of the merge, she was spared from elimination over Alain at the Final Eight. After failing to win the next Immunity Challenge, Catherine knew that she would be sent home next as she was the last original Mosso tribe member standing. Before Tribal Council, Catherine discovered that the tribe had caught a chicken and, when the tribe decided to eat the chicken there and then, she took control of the preparation of the chicken because of her expertise on the matter. Catherine was still voted out unanimously by the original Tanan tribe members, but she was able to end her difficult journey in the game on a positive note.
