## Survivor

Francine was a member of the Pemuja tribe, consisting of fans of the show. Francine started the game on the outside of a Fan's majority alliance alongside Clara Souza, Danica Boiko and Talon Rowe, but due to the Fan's ability to win challenge, they were able to survive for the first seven days of the game.

When the Fans lost their first immunity challenge on Day 8, the majority alliance set their target on Clara. The lines in the sand became more clear as the day went on, the minority members rallied to go against Alex. At Tribal Council, the Francine was able to survive when Jalen Bailey and Malayiah Howard flipped in the minority's favor. Heading into Day 9, Francine found herself in the majority. However, after Vinh's evacuation sped up the pace of the game, the tribes were surprised by a tribe swap on Day 10.

At the end of the Tribe Swap, Francine was on the new Berhala tribe with her allies Danica, Jalen and Malayiah. The Berhala tribe lost their first immunity challenge as a new tribe, sending them to Tribal Council. Molan Bai approached Francine and Danica about joining an alliance with the favorites to vote out Jalen. While on the fence, they jumped at the opportunity to form a majority of six, allowing the alliance to vote out their new allies, Jalen and Malayiah, back to back. Their decision to turn against their new allies seemed like a good omen for the new majority Berhala alliance after they won the following immunity challenge, which turned out to be a false omen. The tribe lost on Day 19 forcing the alliance to turn against each other, the Favorites held the numbers over former Fans. Francine attempted to save Danica by trying to turn the alliance against Ziya Bakshi. The lure worked with Jax Nicholson, but at Tribal Council, the women stayed strong to vote out Danica, tying the vote at 3-3. When Jax realized staying loyal to the fans would result in a tie, he flipped his vote to Danica, putting Francine at the bottom.

Luckily for her, the two tribes came together to merge as the Alyak tribe on Day 20. Despite being left on the bottom of the vote, Kenza Bannani, Molan and Ziya still wanted to work her alongside Ben Dubois and Sammie Woodside to form a new majority alliance of six. All the while, the swapped tribe Pemuja solidified their pact to stay together through the merge to take out the swapped members of the Berhala tribe. Jax swore his loyalty to the swapped members of the Berhala tribe, making a potential alliance of seven. Francine felt wary in their new alliance, which turned out to be her gut working in her favor when Kenza was blindsided at Tribal Council. Francine was one of the five, along with Ziya, Molan, Sammie and Talon, to win the reward challenge. On the reward, Francine initiated an alliance in an attempt to pull Sammie and Talon to their side. With no immunity and any loyalty to the other side, Francine threw out Kasey Portero's name as a target, but was quickly shut down by Molan and Ziya in hopes that Kasey would flip in their favor. Their plan worked when Kasey flipped to send Ben home with a Hidden Immunity Idol

With a new line being drawn in the sand, the swapped Berhala held a majority with Kasey and Talon on their side. Francine was approached by Molan and Ziya to work with Kasey to form a four person women's alliance. Francine set her target on Adrianna Crawford, who was also being targeted by Kasey Portero, which sent her home in a 5-4-1 vote. At the Survivor Auction, Francine bought "Immunity" for all $500. Once revealed she earned Immunity, the tribe was informed that there would be two votes with two people leaving in the Double Elimination. Francine was given the choice between immunity at the first vote or the second vote. She chose the first vote. All contestants would compete in an immunity challenge to determine who had immunity at the second vote. Francine wasn't able to secure safety for both votes, and was left vulnerable. At Tribal Council, Francine, Molan and Ziya were blindsided when Jax and Kasey flipped on Ziya to send her home in a 6-3 vote. With the second vote upcoming, Francine and Molan debated who they should try to get votes against. They decided Talon would be the easiest person to vote out since he had no loyalty to anyone in the game. However, the betrayal made against Ziya would become the end of the alliance when the second vote revealed Jax and Kasey stuck with their new allies to vote Francine out during the second vote, ending her time in the game.
