===Redemption Island===
Francesca was placed on the Ometepe tribe at the start of the season. Upon revealing Survivor supervillains Rob Mariano and Russell Hantz as players on Day 1, Francesca immediately expressed her distaste, outright stating that they were "troublemakers". At camp, Francesca initially made an alliance with Phillip Sheppard and Kristina Kell, the latter of whom found the Hidden Immunity Idol. However, early cracks in the alliance began to form when Francesca grew annoyed with Phillip's talkative personality.
After Ometepe's loss at the inaugural Immunity Challenge, Natalie Tenerelli became Francesca's alliance first target for elimination. However at Tribal Council, Phillip went double-agent by telling Rob about Kristina's idol, putting Kristina and Francesca in particular trouble. Despite Kristina being deemed as untrustworthy, it was Francesca who got eliminated from Ometepe in a 4-3-2 Split Vote.
Upon her elimination, she was sent to , where she received meager supplies and food, waiting for her opponent in the upcoming Redemption Island duel. The opponent turned out to be fellow Ometepe tribemate Matt Elrod, much to Francesca's shock. At the first duel, Francesca initially gained an early lead, but Matt managed to catch up, winning the duel. Francesca congratulated Matt told him to get revenge on Ometepe. With this, Francesca was the first player permanently eliminated from the game.

Along with nine other favorites, Francesca was placed on the Bikal tribe. She initially aligned with Brenda Lowe, Erik Reichenbach, and Brandon Hantz, and she later apologized to Phillip Sheppard about their rivalry in Redemption Island. Phillip later explained that he will let Francesca be herself and go her own way, despite still being annoyed by her.
After Bikal lost the Day 3 Immunity Challenge, the tribe negotiated over whom to send vote out. All of Francesca's alliance wanted to send home her fellow Redemption Island contestant Andrea Boehlke, while the other six Bikal members who hadn't aligned with Francesca wanted to send her home. At Tribal Council, each side of Bikal stated their points including Phillip, who randomly spoke her name angrily three times, proving he actually could pronounce it now. Ultimately, the other Bikal members eliminated Francesca in a 6-4 vote.
