**Nicko** is a contestant from *Survivor: Dear Evan Hansen*.

## Dear Evan Hansen

At the beginning of the game the 20 castaways were sorted into 2 different tribes, the Evan Tribe and the Connor tribe. Nicko was placed on the Connor Tribe alongside Archie, Bridgette, Caleb, Danny, Hayden, Jae, Jess, Maddison, and Octavia. This first challenge was a scavenger hunt. Each tribe was given an item every half hour (at:00 and:30). Before the challenge got underway it was announced that both tribes would be going to tribal council. Nicko completed this challenge with 89 points earning individual immunity for the first tribal council. Heading into tribal council it was evident that Octavia’s inactivity in the challenge and the tribal chat had made her the clear vote. Octavia was voted out at tribal council with a 9(Octavia)-1(Bridgette) vote. For the next challenge, each tribe mate had to complete three different types of puzzles; a match game, a sliding puzzle, and a jigsaw puzzle. The tribe who has the fastest average time will win immunity. Nicko completed this challenge in 15:13. The Evan Tribe beat the Connor Tribe’s time of 33:50 meaning the Connor Tribe would be going to tribal council this round. Heading into tribal council it looked like the majority of the tribe was going to vote for Caleb. As the votes were read Caleb was voted off with a vote of 7(Caleb)-2(Jess)-1(Hayden, Octavia’s Suspension Vote). After this tribal council an alliance between Nicko, Jae, Hayden, and Maddison was requested by Nicko. For the 3rd challenge “For Forever” each tribe mate had to watch a video from a famous YouTuber and voice teacher Hannah Bayles as she listens to the YouTube videos of the 4 Evans singing For Forever in 4-part harmony. They had to answer 10 questions on the video. The tribe that got the most correct answers would win. If there is a tie then it would be broken by the average time of each tribe. Due to having an extra tribe member the Evan Tribe had to sit out 1 person. The Evan Tribe decided to have JessTV sit out. Nicko completed this challenge with a score of 10/10 and a time of 8:16. With a score of 67/80, the Connor Tribe beat the Evan Tribes score of 53/80, meaning the Connor Tribe was safe from tribal.

For the 4th challenge “Sincerely, Me”, the castaways were asked to complete a connections game. There are 5 rounds and 4 groups in each round. The only tricky thing is that they won’t find out if they are correct until the results are announced. You earn credit for each group that is 100% correct. Each grid is worth 4 points meaning the maximum amount of points that can be earned is 20. The tribe with the best score will win immunity. Time is only taken into account as a tiebreaker. Right after the challenge was released Nicko searched the locker grid and found a the Dentention disadvantage. This disadvantage prevents the player from completing the current or next immunity challenge. With Nicko not being able to play this immunity challenge it looked pretty clear that the Connor Tribe was going to be going to tribal council. This prediction came true when the Connor Tribe scored 80/160 which was not enough to beat the Evan Tribe’s score of 105/160. Heading into tribal council it seemed pretty clear that Archie would be the next to go since he didn’t complete the challenge. As the votes were read Archie was voted out with a 7(Archie)-1(Jess)-1(Jae, Caleb’s Suspension Vote) vote. After Archie was voted out it was announced that the Evan and Connor Tribes would be no more and that there would now be three tribes, Connor 2.0, Jared., and Alana. The Alana would be Bridgette, Brandon, Danny, Apollo, and Jae. The Jared tribe would be JessTV, Cashout, Jess, Hayden, and Curly. This means the Connor 2.0 tribe would be Anna, Elk, Maddison, Nicko, and Taylor. After the tribal expansion from two tribes to three tribes it was announced that all tribes would attend tribal council meaning that each tribe would have an individual immunity idol that one member would win from each tribe. For the 5th immunity challenge “Requiem” the castaways were given 6 riddles to complete. The riddles will help you get a code to help you escape the challenge. The player with the fastest time from each tribe will win immunity. Nicko completed this challenge with a time of 1:14. This time was quick enough to earn Nicko individual immunity this round meaning he was safe from tribal council. Based on the results of the challenge Jared will take 1st tribal meaning whoever gets voted out will get 15th place, Alana will get 2nd tribal meaning whoever gets voted out will get 14th place, and Connor 2.0 will be last tribal and the person voted out will get 13th place. Heading into tribal council Anna felt safe. As the votes were read Elk was voted out with a vote of 4(Elk)-1(Anna).

Before the next challenge got under way Nicko requested an alliance with Maddison and Taylor. For the 6th immunity challenge “If I Could Tell Her” the tribe members were tasked with completing 8 different puzzles. When they complete the puzzle they must send a screenshot with the letter on the puzzle visible. Once they have sent all 8 puzzles in they must unscramble the letters and send the mystery word as a command. The 2 tribes with the fastest average time would win immunity. Nicko completed this challenge in 15:29. With an average time of 57:48 the Connor 2.0 will be heading to tribal council being beat out by the Jared tribes time of 41:04 and the Alana tribes time of 45:35. Heading into tribal Nicko was conflicted on if he should vote the weak player on the tribe out or blindside Maddison. As the votes were read Maddison was voted out with a vote of 3(Maddison)-1(Anna). After Maddison was eliminated from the Jared Tribe it was announced that the 3 tribes would merge into the Zoe Tribe. For the first immunity challenge as a new tribe, “Disappear”, the castaways had to scour through High School to find a variety of different items with different outcomes. Nicko was looking solid throughout the challenge until he circled back to a space he overlooked multiple times. Finally he circled back and that spot was the Broken Branch. This Broken Branch ends the players game returning their total to 0. This means that Nicko was not able to claim individual immunity for the first challenge as the Zoe Tribe. Heading into tribal council it was pretty clear that the majority would be going to vote for Danny. As the votes were read Danny was eliminated with a vote of 7(Danny)-4(Hayden, One vote being Jess’s Suspension Vote)-1(Jae, Brandon’s Suspension Vote)1-(Nicko, Maddison’s Suspension Vote). Before the next challenge was released Nicko requested an alliance between JessTV, Curly and himself. For the F10 immunity challenge, “You Will Be Found”, the castaways were taken to a different server where they had to connect 30 different channels. Each channel will either have names and answers. Each name or event or whatever it might be will have an answer. The time is started from the time the castaway joins the server and ends when they lock in their channel pairings. Nicko completed this challenge with a score of 15/15 and a time of 7:44. As there were multiple cast members that got 15/15 time was the tie breaker and Nicko’s time of 7:44 was quick enough to earn him individual immunity. Heading into tribal council it was clear that Apollo was most likely the next to go after publicly gunning for JessTV. As the votes were read Apollo was voted out with a vote of 9(Apollo)-2(JessTV, one vote being Danny’s Suspension Vote).

For the F8 challenge , “Only Us”, the castaways were tasked with completing a trivia maze. For this maze they were presented with a plethora of trivia questions as they came across forks in the road. The castaway with the quickest time would earn individual immunity and be guaranteed a spot in the Final 7. Nicko completed this challenge in 3:42. Although this was a quick time it was not quick enough to beat Bridgette’s time of 1:43. Meaning that Nicko didn’t win individual immunity this round. When it came time to vote it seemed the tribe was split pretty even and Nicko found this the perfect time to try and get a social threat out like JessTV. When the votes were read there was a tie with a vote of 6(Anna)-6(JessTV)1-(Nicko)-1(Jae, Hayden’s Suspension Vote). This means that a revote was in order. In the event of a revote only the two tribe members that are tied are able to be voted for and those two members do not get to vote, meaning the Zoe Tribe could only vote for Anna and JessTV and those two couldn’t vote. Nicko switched his vote here to vote for Anna. As the revote was read Anna was voted out by a 6(Anna)-0 vote. For the F7 challenge, “Good For You”, the cast members were paired up in a 1:1 draft of a game of chain reaction. Each word would be related to the word above it. Each correct word would give the player $100. Nicko won his first match off with Cashout moving forward to round two where Curly beat him. This means that he was not safe from tribal council. After this challenge the rest of the tribe found this as a chance to get out a big challenge threat. The core 4 of the tribe (JessTV, Cashout, Curly, and Taylor), took out Nicko with a vote of 4(Nicko)-2(JessTV, one vote being Anna’s Suspension Vote)-1(Bridgette)-1(Jae). Before heading to the Jury Dressing Room as a part of the ongoing Suspension Twist Nicko got to cast one extra vote before he left. He cast his Suspension Vote for Curly which will be revealed at the next tribal council. During Final Tribal Council Nicko cast his vote for Taylor to win Season 2 of MusicalORG “Dear Evan Hansen”.
