Nicolas, 39 ans
Gérant d'un magasin de sport, Gard (30)

Nicolas est d'un dynamisme et d'un optimisme à toute épreuve. Il y a 2 ans, il a failli perdre son bras. Cela semblait irréversible, mais sa détermination et son mental l'ont aidé à s'en sortir. Ce sportif invétéré a ouvert un magasin dédié aux jeux de raquettes. Il ne compte pas ses heures, porté par sa bonne humeur. Son humour et ses capacités physiques pourraient le pousser loin dans l'aventure.

Koh-Lanta[]

Nicolas was selected by Jean-Philippe Masy to be a part of the Ilog tribe. Nicolas was positioned well socially on his tribe and made it to the tribe dissolution where he was selected to be a member of the new Matingi tribe by its captain, Anne-Sophie Mounier. Though the Matingi tribe attended Tribal Council more often than not throughout the remainder of the tribal phase, Nicolas did not receive any votes and made the merge.

With the original Matingi tribe members entering the merge with a numbers disadvantage against the original Cadlao tribe members, they tried to seize some opportunities to shake things up over the next few cycles. However, these were all foiled by Nicolas, who leaked information multiple times to François Descamp as a double agent because he felt more confident in his affiliations with his fellow original Ilog tribe members rather than those with his fellow original Matingi tribe members in the long run.

At the Final Ten, the Tied Destinies twist took place and Nicolas was paired with Jean-Charles Chatelus. Because each of the remaining original Matingi tribe members was paired with an original Cadlao tribe member, at least one original Cadlao tribe member would be eliminated this cycle. As Louana Roy, who was paired with Maxime Tournoux, felt unsafe due to Maxime's unpopularity, she rallied her fellow original Ilog tribe members to target original Nacpan tribe members Géraldine Nicolle and Fouzi Ould Bouamama at the corresponding Tribal Council. Though Maxime was initially on board with this, he ultimately did not want to lose Géraldine and Fouzi, so he informed them of this plot and suggested that they target Nicolas, and in turn Jean-Charles as collateral damage, for his duplicity throughout the game. At Tribal Council, Géraldine, Fouzi, and Maxime executed one plan while Nicolas, Jean-Charles, and Louana executed another. However, the majority of votes were cast against Maxime, eliminating both Louana and Maxime from the game. As Louana and Maxime exited, Maxime gave his Black Vote to Nicolas, allowing the latter to cast an Extra Vote at the next Tribal Council.

The next cycle, it became evident that the original Ilog tribe members would be working together going forward and they recruited Bastien San Pedro into their fold. Given that Olga Khokhlova had won the corresponding individual Immunity Challenge, this alliance made plans to split their votes between Jean-Charles and Géraldine with Nicolas casting his Extra Vote against Géraldine at Tribal Council. Their plans seemed successful as only Jean-Charles had played a Hidden Immunity Necklace for himself at Tribal Council, however, they did not anticipate that Géraldine would be voting with Jean-Charles and Olga nor that Olga had an Extra Vote. Nicolas received all four of these outsider votes and was voted out.
