Nick Maiorano spent most of Kaôh Rōng coasting on winning tribes and narrating his own strategic genius, going twenty-two days before attending his first Tribal Council. He even won the season's first individual immunity challenge — but that Tribal was scrapped entirely when Neal Gottlieb was medically evacuated, so the necklace protected no one.
When the vote finally came, Cydney had rallied the women against the men, and Nick was blindsided as the season's first juror — leaving with the odd distinction of more immunity wins than Tribal Councils survived. He later voted for Aubry at the end.
