Tom began the game in a power position, despite being nominated by Suzette Amaya. Tom created an alliance with Emmett Blois as they bonded over being the first nominees and ended up branching the alliance out to Alec Beall and Peter Brown, forming Quattro. During this time, Tom became involved in a showmance with Liza Stinton. However, Tom’s irrational behavior began to make him a target for many people in the house, and turned Alec and Peter against him. After Tom won Head of Household in week three, he set his sights on Suzette, whom he had a rivalry with. However, after Canada saved Suzette, Tom was forced to pick a new target. Tom ended up deciding to target Aneal Ramkissoon, due to him being seen as shady to the other houseguests. After Gary became the next Head of Household, he broke the deal he made with Tom the previous week and nominated him and Liza. Despite being in Quattro, Alec and Peter decided to cut him loose and thus he was evicted by a vote of 8-1, placing 12th.
