A terrific athlete with a less-than-stellar mind, Nicole has been a lock to make the final in her Challenge career.

She started out on Invasion and immediately established herself as the best female athlete of the non-champions, winning the opening challenge, The Over Under.

Although she was on the wrong side of the numbers on the Underdogs, she was able to skate all the way to the Bloodbath without seeing an elimination.

Ashley and Amanda worked together against Nicole in the first round, leading to Ashley winning. But when it was one-on-one against Amanda, Nicole took care of business and sent Amanda packing.

In the final, Nicole and Cory had one of the most memorably bad performances ever in the puzzle, putting Nicole behind the eight ball right off the bat. She could never recover, and finished third behind Ashley and Camila.

On Vendettas, Nicole once again skated to the final without seeing an elimination. Her most notable performances during the season (unless you count her spitting game on Melissa), were winning the two purge challenges — the Rock of Gibraltar mission and thethe Help Me Rhonda mission, which were both basically just distance runs (Rock of Gibraltr being the much tougher win).

She made just one troika, and that came from a win in a 10 vs. 10 challenge. She didn’t get to compete long in the final, as an ankle injury caused her to bow out.

Another injury sent Nicole packing early on Double Agents, as she hurt her shoulder in the Road Kill challenge and was sent home.
