Zakiyah was known for her showmance with fellow houseguest Paulie Calafiore, and being member of the 8-Pack and the Fatal Five alliance. She moved into the Big Brother House with no intentions to play the game, but to solely search for a relationship. After finally forming somewhat of a showmance with Paulie (who was known to be hitting on other female houseguests) she learned that he wasn't quite who she or other houseguests thought he was. Once he backstabbed her, called her out her name on numerous occasions and bragged to the others about the countless times they've had sex (along with description) she still chose to commit to him over genuine friendships she built with a couple of the girls. When her ally Da'Vonne was evicted in Week 6, Paulie convinced Victor to nominate Zakiyah against Michelle, her closest remaining ally. When Paulie won the PoV, he followed through with his plan to not use the veto. Zakiyah was sent home on eviction night and Paulie had been behind it all week.
However, she was blindsided and evicted by 3 to 2 when the No Names decided to rally against Paulie and his allies. She placed 10th and became the second member of the jury.
