Susan is both superstitious and competitive

As she approaches the step-ladder, Alex asks Susan if she is superstitious. Susan affirms that she is, and Alex replies that this is a good thing (presumably since taking the more superstitious option during this task will, in many cases, provide the contestants with an opportunity to find a lucky penny). Despite her claims of being superstitious, Susan immediately crawls under the ladder. When Alex accuses Susan of “not being THAT superstitious”, Susan replies that she is, but she also wants to win.

After reading the second task brief, Susan opens the piggy bank and shakes its contents out onto the plate. She separates out £13 and places it on the plinth, leaving the rest of the change on the plate. Despite this being the exact opposite of what the task dictates, she is not called out on this error in the studio.

After reading the third task brief, Susan pushes the bag of salt, just catching it before it actually falls off of the plinth, but allowing most of it to spill onto the driveway.

After reading the fourth task brief, Susan closes all of the umbrellas on the driveway, seemingly only having issue with one of them, which Alex calls “impressive”.

Susan then reads the final task brief and starts flipping the coin provided on the plinth. Each of Susan’s flips take quite a while, as she lets the coin fall to the ground each time, rather than catching it and placing it on the back of her hand. Eventually, Susan reasons that each flip needs “less tosses”, and she starts flipping the coin onto one of the plinths instead. She eventually manages to get five heads in a row.

Susan completes the fortune trail in 9 minutes and 49 seconds, and earns third place.
