A member of the Mosso tribe, Nicolas proved that he was a worthy competitor in challenges when he won the Pull Your Weight challenge for his team as the last contestant standing. Just before this, Nicolas had an argument with Mama El Fayed about the tribe's fire, which sparked a rivalry between the two tribemates. When Mama commented that her husband would be laughing about their argument if he were there, Nicolas commented that her husband is a know-it-all, which prompted Mama to claim that, even though they were arguing, he shouldn't have insulted her husband as she hadn't insulted anyone in his family. Over time, he began to affiliate himself more with Nathalie Penigaud and Catherine Brun and the trio formed an alliance. After the Mosso tribe won the third Reward Challenge, which was for fishing equipment, Jean-Claude Errin and Nicolas went fishing for their tribe. When the current grew stronger, Jean-Claude stopped fishing and yelled for Nicholas to do the same, which he eventually did. When the Mosso tribe lost the third Immunity Challenge, Nicolas and his alliance voted against Mama for her difficulty performing in challenges and for tensions between her and Nathalie and Nicolas, but the rest of the tribe voted out Nathalie for her bossiness. However, when Mama was evacuated and eliminated from the game on Day 10 after being deemed to be in too much pain to continue, Nathalie returned to the game in her place.
Though most of the tribe was initially annoyed about Nathalie's return, Nathalie changed her approach to the game and proved to her tribe that she could be less bossy, which allowed for her relationship with the tribe to restart on a clean slate. During the fourth cycle, Nicolas and Mika Lelièvre began to show symptoms of gastroenteritis. This resulted in Mika being evacuated immediately and, eventually, Nicolas as well due to concerns over the scrapes on the latter's knee that he had sustained when fishing. Mika soon returned to the game, but, unfortunately for Nicolas, his evacuation became permanent when it was determined that he had contracted a knee infection on top of gastroenteritis. The rules of Koh-Lanta state that in the event of an unorthodox elimination of a contestant, the previously eliminated contestant would reenter the game in place of the other contestant. However, in this case, the previously eliminated contestant, Nathalie, had already reentered the game in Mama's place, so the contestant eliminated before Nathalie, Sébastien Roullé, reentered the game in Nicolas' place.
