Nicole Delma

Nicole Delma was a contestant from Survivor: Pearl Islands.

Profile
Born in Bellevue, Washington, Nicole Delma moved to California after receiving a full academic scholarship to Santa Clara University. She eventually received a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications. She then attended the Santa Monica School of Massage and became a certified massage therapist. Delma is currently single and lives in Hermosa Beach, California, where she is employed as a sports massage therapist/trainer (working with the pro-volleyball tours). She has previously worked as a medical assistant, bartender and media buyer. Her favorite hobbies are racing/running in marathons, training and gourmet cooking. Delma describes herself as strong, resourceful and a risk-taker. Her mother is her hero because she showed her that she could do anything she set her mind on. She feels she'll be useful as a survivor because she grew up in the outdoors and camped, hiked, biked and kayaked her way through the wilderness on islands every summer. She believes she's perfect for this adventure because she is in peak physical condition, young, energetic, certified in sports massage and medically trained. Her birth date is September 19, 1978.

Survivor: Pearl Islands
Nicole started on Survivor: Pearl Islands notably with the only clothes on her back being a blue mini-dress without a bra. From thereon in, she was a member of the Morgan tribe, who suffered setbacks at the Panamanian village and suffered even more through a bad shelter and being unable to sleep. She was frequently disturbed by crabs during the first night, where she jokingly remarked she was "invading" on their territory.

After Morgan narrowly lost the first Immunity challenge to Drake, Nicole immediately tried to organize who would be going home. However, when the other contestants found out how shifty she was becoming, especially when approached about the subject of elimination, the tribe decided keeping her around would be too risky, and voted her off unanimously at the first Tribal Council.

Nicole returned on Day 19 as a member of the Outcasts tribe, where she competed in a challenge against the Drake tribe and her former Morgan tribe. The Outcasts won the challenge, and at that night's Tribal Council to vote an Outcast into the game, she voted for both Ryan Shoulders and Lillian Morris, and received votes from Burton Roberts and Michelle Tesauro. However, the two votes she received were not enough to bring her back into the game, and she left the island for good, while Lillian and Burton returned to the game.

Voting History
In What The...? (Part 2), Nicole voted for two people she wanted to bring back into the game, while Burton and Michelle wanted her to return. Her votes were not enough, thus eliminating her permanently from the game.

Trivia

 * Nicole is the earliest person to be voted out with more than one tribe affiliation.
 * Because the contestants entered the game with the clothes on her back she went through all of Survivor without a bra to wear.
 * Nicole became the first contestant who was the first voted out to appear in more than one episode of the season. (She would be followed by Francesca Hogi from Survivor: Redemption Island, Semhar Tadesse from Survivor: South Pacific, and Nina Acosta from Survivor: One World).
