Nicole explains her Journey (04:49)

Watch as Insider takes you to an exclusive interview with Nicole Delma, the first castaway voted out of SURVIVOR: PEARL ISLANDS, as she describes her experience.

 Nicole (confessional)

The first day that we took off on the Rembrandt, we were all excited. We got all dressed up wearing our nice clothes. We were expecting to go to one great big last meal. Have a big celebration. We had all of our clothes packed that we were going to bring with us -- our luxury items and everything else like that. We took turns sleeping on and off the floor. Some people got a little seasick, but we were all smiling at one another. Then, before we knew it we were jumping ship into the water and the game had begun. It was a huge shock. When Jeff told us we were wearing the clothes on our back, I panicked. I had extremely uncomfortable shoes on. Just this tiny little dress that we could barely get zipped up. At the last minute before I left, I opted not to wear a bra in order to get the dress on easier. Which was very scary, because in a minute I was going to be jumping ship and swimming in the water with not a lot on. And god knows what we were going to be doing, hiking, climbing, physical challenges and this is not suitable attire for any of those things.

CUT

Looking back on this first day since being voted off, my experience was very different than what I was expecting. Most importantly I have to say it's real. I think I've seen it before. I thought I knew what I was getting into. I thought it was going to be a lot easier than it was. The conditions are very real, especially the cold at night, the rain, the bugs, the lack of food, thirst. It was a lot tougher than I was expecting. But more than, the idea that People were playing mentally with you from the very beginning. I wasn't prepared for what I had gotten myself into. I took it a little too lightly and actually accepted that these people were becoming friends with me. I didn't realize exactly what was going on. 

I learned a lot in the three days I was there. I realize how long three days is. Each night felt like it was 20 hours long. I also learned that certain comforts shouldn't be taken for granted. To take some value in the few good friends I have, because once you out there and you realize how some people can be. It's pretty amazing. That was one of the hardest things for me was not having anyone you could seriously talk to. Going through the struggle and not knowing if anyone around you can be trusted. That made it difficult. I'll also never pass up a meal just because I think I've eaten too much. I'll appreciate it a little more.

As we were paddling in to tribal council, I had some jitters in my stomach because of the way events had fallen apart throughout the day. I had a pretty good feeling it might be me. I was going to stick with all I could hope for which is my last chance -- the last alliance we had talked about was to vote Ryan S out. But the fall through with the girls and what it led to with the guys and their reaction, I had a pretty good feeling I was going home. I kind of had already dealt with it earlier in the day, so it was exciting to me. I was running through my head how I was going to walk out. Thinking if I was going to leave. It was really dramatic. Jeff was very observant in some of things he pointed out. He had a pretty good finger on who was where and what was going on.

CUT

When I first saw my name, I felt a little bit like I've been duped, ya know. A little bit of a shock, because while I knew it was going to happen, I was overwhelmed that it was a reality. I thought at least some of the people would have stuck with what we had agreed on earlier that day. It hit me that there must have been a lot more talking going on than I was aware of. And I was feeling a little bit more secure than I should have been feeling earlier in the day. I was disappointed in going home, cuz I wanted to make it further. But at the same time I accepted it. I understood why it happened and I was able to go with it.

CUT

At tribal council when Jeff asked me to bring up my torch and it was time to go, part of me was laughing, part of me was a little disappointed. When I pictured myself there before I was worried I was going to break out and cry, but I was half on the verge of laughing because I knew the irony of the situation. It was sad to know I was leaving, but when he put my torch out there was a big feeling of relief. The relief that I wasn't going to spend another night out there. So it was OK. If I had the chance to go back and do survivor over again, I think my goal would be to keep my mouth shut longer. At the same time, that was my goal this time, and I wasn't able to do it, even for a million dollars. Who I am came out. I couldn't bite my tongue. I tried, I couldn't do it. So I guess I don't have any regrets because I can't change who I am.

Nicole is Adjusting (02:39)

 Nicole is adapting to her new environment, but is she adjusting as well with her new tribemates? Find out as Nicole explains her position within the Morgan tribe.

 HIGHLIGHTS ONLY (she says so little and mentions nothing of Tijuana)

ON HER CONDITION: Physically I feel OK. I'm surprised I haven't been hungrier. It would be great if I could get more water. We started to get some fruit nuts today.

ON OTHERS' CONDITIONS: The guys are getting so moody when they are hungry or thirsty. You can't even talk to them. The hunger is completely gone at this point.

ON THE GROUP: Our group is acting without thinking things out. Every one of our fires are going out. We've gone to bed without food. It's because we're not thinking. People will go and say, "Well, I'm going to do this." And I'll make a suggestion and it comes off as I'm being bossy.

ON THE SHELTER: No one had discussed it. The two guys said were going to build it and do it our way.

Darah’s Not Comfortable (03:20)

 Well, The food is alright. You know, we are getting a lot of coconuts, and and stuff like that. The water, it sucks because we made rice in the water bowl and it burnt the bowl and now the water tastes like smoky water. I just cannot drink it. So the only water I am getting is from the .

The shelter:

The first night we had the shelter it was horrible. You know, I thought it was horrible because those leaves were like, up my butt, but actually, building the new shelter last night it is 10X worse, Sleeping on those bamboo sticks you cannot get comfortable. It’s not wide enough for, like, all like having to sleep with our arms on our chest.

Sleeping:

No, I didn’t get any sleep last night at all. I just got like probably, like 15 minute naps today. That is all that I have had for the past 2 days.

The mosquitoes are tearing me up. But, um, I think it is some kind of mites or something out here because it is not mosquitoes and I think I’ve got a spider bite swelling up

I think we are pretty much dehydrated earlier today because none of us can drink that water. Now we are fixing to boil the water in a different pan. The reason we had it in that bowl was because it was so big. We dumped it over in the fire two times to put the fire out. We are going to boil some new water and hopefully it tastes better.

I think we have enough food to last us for a month. We are pretty good on the rice and the beans. We should have gotten more potatoes because we do have money left over which we should have spent, but we didn’t. And we got, we thought we had kerosene to start the lantern with but, it is just regular oil and it is not doing anything. But, as far as the food , I think it will last out here for a month.

At night we talk about what we are going to do the next day. As far as like, you know, doing something else for shelter or building another fire or who is going to go find food. But we are pretty much team work with that. We help each other out. Who is going to do what and all that.

Well, tonight we are going into Tribal Council. Mainly, I think , all the guys and Tijuana are going to vote for Nicole off and I think probably Lill.. I think I am the only one that is sticking with the same alliance I had, me and Nicole and Tijuana It is not going to effect me, because they are not going and it is not going to hurt her .

Tribal Council is where you pretty much go and vote your own tribe member off. The one that you don’t think that is helping out or is supposed to be helping out. Nicole is helping out, but she is doing a lot of a lying, they say. Getting rid of her. Yeah, I will miss talking to her. You know, it is part of the game. You have to vote someone off.

After last night after we lost a challenge that we should have won. It made me really mad you know . We have to go to Tribal Council tonight. Vote one member off. We are going to be seven and they are going to be eight. It is just going to be really hard.

Tribal council. All the guys Probably the only one that is going to vote for Ryan.

Sandra Emerges (06:28)

 With her new Drake tribe intact, Sandra has quickly formed opinions about many of her tribemates. Get Inside the mind of feisty Sandra to learn what she really thinks of her new crew.

Sandra (confessional)

Jon to me appears to be very shady; he appears to be out for his own good, which I can't blame him because everybody out here is out for themselves. I am too. I'm not going to deny it. I'm not going to sit up here and lie. It's in my best interest to maybe make him my buddy for now. But when it's all said and done, I really can't stand him. He talks too much crap. All night long, cursing. Talking about stupid stuff. Everything sexual. I guess he used to make porno movies or whatever. I don't know what the deal is. He always has something cute to say. Well, he always has something that he thinks is cute. But, it isn't. It gets old. It's already old.

Jon is NOT attractive at all. (laughs). I actually put my hands around his ankles. They're this big (makes a small hole with her fist). He's really skinny. He’s smaller than me! When we jumped off the boats. I can't believe I jumped because I drank so much water it was ridiculous. I had a stomach full of water. But he was way behind. And even when I lost my buff and I went back looking for it, he was sitting on a rock, putting on his shoes. And then he tried to take charge. For what? You haven't a clue!

CUT

Jon to me is irrelevant. I don't care nothing for him. But if I need to make him my buddy for now so I can survive a day longer, because like I said, I am the outcast here, I honestly feel that I do not fit in, then Jon is going to be my buddy for the meantime. And hopefully, he'll go before I do.

CUT

So I have tried to find things in common with everybody. And then they start talking in big words. Half the stuff they're talking about, I haven't even a clue. So you start to feel alienated. That's why I feel like this.

CUT

I can talk to Rupert. I honestly believe now that Christa is good. She's my buddy for right now. We spent quite a while earlier on fooling with this one net trying to catch fish. The fish went in and when she pulled the net out, it went straight up instead of dragging. So the fish just took off. So then I wanted to take the net. I went back and I asked Rupert, are you going to use the net for anything? He said, "no what do you want to do with it." I said, "I want the chickens to have a place instead of being tied up on the rope on the branch. He said, "Go for it, whatever." And Christa agreed with me also. And when Burton saw me grabbing it, he said," what are you doing with it." And I said, "I’m going to have a house for the chickens." And he said, "No, I am going to use that tomorrow." And I was like, "Oh, OK, whatever." So he has it in for me. He asked me for only one thing, "Can I put some mosquito repellant on his back. And I did it. He didn't say thank you AND LET ME TELL YOU WHAT THEY DID. Burton opened up a coconut while me and Christa are trying to get the stick into the fish's mouth and Burton decided to open up a coconut and he shared the milk with only Shawn and Michelle. And so I gave Christa the look, and I said, "Did they offer you any coconut milk. And she said, "No, and I wanted some." And so I went back and asked, "Hey, do you guys still have any coconut milk?" And they were like, “No, we didn't know you guys wanted any. It was awful anyway. We can open up another one for you." And we were like, "fine." But they never opened up another coconut. They started to take a nap.

CUT

To me it feels like being back in Puerto Rico, except we have no extra clothes....my underwears are through. If we get new underwear, mine are through, they are going straight into the fire, there is no way to salvage these. I've gone camping a couple times, but we've always had everything we needed. ...... I was trying to get mango out of my tooth with my nail and my nail got stuck in my tooth.

 Nicole (confessional): With Tijuana and Osten, everyone else thinks there is something going on. She has this huge smile on her face. It's like, anyone can see it. It's freezing and we're trying to cuddle up as much as possible. It's hard. OT, I lay on him so we can help each other keep warm. Having a good time, it makes it all the more worthwhile.

Ryan Osten to Nicole: Lay this way, towards me.
Nicole (to Ryan): Why?
Ryan O: I dunno.
(Nicole laughs)

CUT

Nicole (confessional): Ryan O is funny. I think he's just like a big flirt.

(Ryan lying next to Nicole -- inaudible)

Lil (confessional): I think there is a lot of flirting going on. A lot of girl-boy things.

Ryan O (to Nicole): I could lay this way (he's lying on his back), and you could lay this way (points up and down his body).
(laughter).

Lil (confessional): Boys like the girls and girls like the boys. Which is fine.

Darrah (to tribe): They're making out here.
(laughter)
Ryan O (to Darrah): I thought you were involved, too.
(laughter)

Ryan O (confessional): Me and Nicole were hanging out pretty tight and we were making some comments and I was laying pretty close to her. She's good to look at. (laughs).

Nicole (to Ryan): Inaudible ...next time going into the water.
Ryan (to Nicole): Going without the dress? Yes!

Lil (confessional): The girls are cute to look at. They’re cute and funny and dah dah dah. That makes those hormones going. Are you guys thinking, excuse the term, the pee pee?

Ryan O (in between Darrah and Nicole): I am one lucky guy.

Lil (confessional): Who knows? Who knows about young men? We can only t

Voting Booth Cam (06:36)

NICOLE: Ryan S., I'm voting for you only because the alliance I tried to make fell through and you're the only person I know other people are planning to vote for, so.... That's my vote.

TIJUANA: Nicole, I trusted you once. I gave you the benefit of the doubt when I caught you conspiring. The second time around, I've gotta be with people I could truly trust. It could be that I'm naive; I hope that I'm not. If that's the case, you stabbed me in the back or you were trying to. Fortunately, I found out, so I can save myself.

DARRAH: I'm voting for you Nicole. Nothing personal. I love you to death. You're like the only one that I can trust out here. It's just something I had to do to save myself.

ANDREW: Nicole, at this stage of the game, our tribe can't afford distrust and conspiracy. Your conflict with Tijuana is the reason for this vote.

RYAN O.: Nicole, I don't want to do this. Voted around the camp fire, . It just didn't work like that. Ryan wasn't pulling his weight. But he's got integrity and I think he will be able to handle it better than you can.

OSTEN: Nicole, I'm voting for you tonight because I think you made an alliance too early. Thanks for playing.

RYAN S.: My vote is for Nicole. Outstanding person, but... I hope you let your childish and petty arguments keep you around for another little bit. Nothing personal.

LILLIAN: Nicole, I appreciated in the village when one of the boys asked you to flash, somehow to get a better deal. I appreciated that you said "No, I am not going to do something like that." I said the same. I did appreciate that. I also saw a lot of lying going on. You and I had a conversation for about three minutes and you asked me to help you to get rid of someone. I wasn’t real comfortable. I more or less had to think about it more. You said that... In just the few minutes we talked, so many things came back to me saying that I had said something that I didn't say. So, I think you got carried away with the game. I think you're a swell person. I'm sorry, but you're my vote tonight.
