SURVIVOR Host: You all have a lot of great questions for Nicole, so let's get begin! If you're just joining us, we're chatting live with Survivor Nicole Delma. We'll get to as many of your questions as we can. Hey, Nicole! Thanks for being here today. Are you ready to talk to take some questions?
Nicole: Yes, I'm ready.


rattler: Nicole, were you and the others given any sort of education regarding the dangers that awaited you on the island?
Nicole: We were not informed ahead of time, but we were informed of what we could and could not eat.


Maria: Was it worh traveling all of that way to be there for three days?
Nicole: It was absolutely worth it, because even after I was off after the show I got to enjoy Panama for the remainder of the time.


SURVIVORFan: How did your family react when you were voted off first?
Nicole: [laughs] My family took it with a grain of salt because they know my personality, so it didn't really surprise them.


weebee: Why did you try to get people to go along with your vote instead of "laying low" and waiting for someone to approach you regarding how to vote?
Nicole: I think it was just a natural instinct, because someone was bothering me and annoying me, so I wanted to take control and eliminate that person as quickly as possible. I'd never watched the show before, so I didn't know much about strategy.


bree: Nicole, what went through your head when you found out you could be wearing that thong for 39 days?
Nicole: [laughs] Ew! I actually was hoping that we'd have some Reward Challenge in which we'd get some of our clothes back.


scrappy: Nicole, how did the clothes issue hamper your perfromance in the Challenges (if it did)?
Nicole: Actually, after we jumped ship, I got used to running around in a dress. The hardest part was sleeping with the sandcrabs crawling up it.


frank: What was up with the guys stripping down nude during the Challenge?
Nicole: [laughs] I still never figured that one out! Osten seemed ready to take his clothes off from the beginning when he ripped his shirt off. I think it was somewhat of a male bonding experience that we'll never really understand.


marmaque: Did Osten and the other guys go nude around camp or just in that Challenge?
Nicole: They didn't go nude intentionally, but Osten's shorts were hanging off him for the entire time, so he was basically nude. [laughs] He wouldn't do anything to fix 'em, and Brian O's shorts ripped open at the crotch, so he was having trouble with things hanging out. He actually sewed his shorts with some wire and string, but they didn't show that.


sparkyewu: What did it feel like when Jeff said that the game started while you were on the ship? Were you scared, excited? Or what was going through your head?
Nicole: I started giggling, because I think I got nervous. My heart started racing, and I immediately switched into competitive mode. The next thing I was worried about was being one of the first ones to shore.


Tyler2000: Was there any traditional SURVIVOR Challenge you wish you could have parcipated in if you could have stayed?
Nicole: Something that involved simply running and not pushing 300-pound objects! I think I would have done a lot better.


mawshimp: I thought I saw some "cuddling" during the crab attack the first night. Who was that?
Nicole: That was Tijuana and Osten, but apparantly they were just keeping each other warm. Meanwhile, I froze because I wouldn't let Ryan O. touch me! [laughs] He tried to cuddle with me and Darrah.


Bucanner_Bay: Nicole, were you dissapointed that Lill told everybody your plan to vote out Tijuana?
Nicole: I was disappointed that Lill told, because she had me fooled with the uniform. The most obvious threats aren't necessarily the ones that are in your face, but at the same time, I think it's all part of the game.


kelkel: If you could tell Tijuana one last thing, what would it be?
Nicole: Oooh. [laughs] Calm down! Life's too short. [laughs]

wentino: Nicole, you said that you knew you'd get into trouble by "mouthing off." So why not try to curb that?
Nicole: I did try to curb that! [laughs] I think that the conditions and everything make your true self come out, at least in my case. I was too tired to take it.


DanieuBleau: How bad was Osten's overreaction to everything?
Nicole: [laughs] Honestly, I don't know why Osten volunteered to do this, because he's so scared of everything in the outdoors. He must have gotten us out of the shelter six times because he "saw a snake!" It finally got to the point where we didn't listen to him anymore.
