Susannah Moffat is a contestant from Survivor: Panama.
Susannah was quick to make strong relationships with her tribemates on South Island, but was notably forced to turn on her alliance with Lee Capon following a second consecutive Immunity Challenge loss as she trusted him less than John Dalzell and Jonny Gibb. Despite her friendly demeanour, Susannah struggled to dispel rumours that she was posh due to her accent. She was thus mocked by some of her castmates throughout the game, including at the Final Tribal Council, where she lost 7-0 to Jonny, with just 11% of the public voting for her to be the Ultimate Survivor.

Susannah was placed on South Island. At the first Immunity Challenge, it appeared South Island had won immunity, but it was revealed that Susannah had accidentally run around a fence she had to climb over. As a result, South Island was disqualified and would be sent to Tribal Council. Susannah felt remorseful for her mistake, but the tribe voted out Sarah McCombie in a 5-1 vote as she felt unwell and homesick.
After North Island's Tayfun Kadioglu failed to hold on to a bar for very long in the second Immunity Challenge, it once again appeared that South Island had won the challenge considerably, and John Dalzell began showboating by doing pull-ups over the water. This would later backfire horribly, as John began to struggle and fell off just 9 seconds short of winning the challenge, sending South Island to Tribal Council for the second time in a row.
Susannah had made an alliance with Lee Capon, who targeted Bridget Griffiths for being a liability in challenges. However, John and Jonny Gibb had formed a very strong alliance on Day 2 and Bridget trusted them more than she trusted Susannah and Lee, putting the latter two in a minority position. This alliance targeted Lee for not doing as much around camp and being less integrated in the tribe. Despite the tribe debating whether Bridget should be voted out instead, Susannah joined the rest of her tribe and turned on Lee, much to his surprise.
During the third Reward Challenge, Susannah was sent to gather information about the North Island tribe in preparation for a quiz about the opposing tribes. Although Susannah appeared polite and well-mannered towards her tribemates, notably, North Island members Meeta Bose and Drew Agger expressed their disdain for her and labelled her as a backstabber, seemingly due to her posh accent.
South Island made an impressive comeback, however, winning the next two Immunity Challenges and thus making it to the merge with the same amount of members as North Island, with 4. Both tribes voted alongside old tribal lines in the first vote after the merge, with both sides agreeing to vote who they thought was the weakest member of the opposing alliance. The former North Island members voted for Bridget, and the former South Island members voted for Helen Carney. A revote failed to break the tie, and a tiebreaker quiz occurred. Helen lost the challenge and was eliminated, putting South Island in a majority on the Columbus tribe.
Susannah joined her South Island tribemates in pagonging the remaining North Island members - Alastair Brogan, followed by Drew Agger and finally Dave Porter, despite the latter's attempts to turn Bridget and Susannah against John and Jonny's alliance. Bridget was subsequently voted out as she was significantly isolated from her tribemates and mocked throughout the game, particularly by Jonny, though Susannah appeared to treat her well. This left Susannah in a precarious position, as John and Jonny planned to stick to their original alliance and take each other to the Final Tribal Council, meaning Susannah most likely had to win the Final Immunity Challenge to stay in the game. At Tribal Council, it was revealed that Susannah had won the challenge, and she voted out John as she had felt closer to Jonny over the course of the game.
At the Final Tribal Council, Susannah was criticised for her posh demeanour, and John told her that the £1,000,000 prize money would only negatively affect her life. Susannah expressed her wishes to do good things with the prize, including paying off her debts. Despite her appeals, Susannah lost the jury vote unanimously, with all 6 members of the jury voting for Jonny to win alongside an overwhelming 89% of the public vote.
