TVSA ProfileM-Net ProfileOne of several previously leaked contestant names, Nico is the long-haired proprietor of a Parkhurst coffee shop which is sure to be getting lots of customers since its name was mentioned in a few major
news articles. Heck, I’m tempted to go check it out and see if I can get the inside info on Nico.
He’s one of the very few married contestants, something which is another oddity about the casting. Why so many young singletons? Will there be a crossover with The Bachelor?
He says he’s eccentric and unconventional and this could even be true and not the ramblings of someone who thinks long hair and an earring on a guy means he’s automatically a rebel.
He will miss his family, cigarettes and coffee the most. He is helpful, confident, a bit of a prankster and “deliriously happy”. We’ll see how deliriously happy he gets when he’s deprived of his steady diet of ciggies and espressos. He’s also temperamental and sulky if things don’t go his way so I’ve no doubt he’ll provide great entertainment whether things go ill or well for him. I’m just looking forward to the nicotine withdrawal.
His luxury item would be his trusty ciggies and Leatherman knife.
Another one? Does Leatherman have some sort of a product placement deal going on with these contestants? Will we be hearing casual comments like “I wish I had a Leatherman knife to deal with these ropes and branches. Man, I miss my Leatherman,” throughout the season?
He’s going to treat the competition as a poker game which is a great way of looking at it. He might do well in the game because of his culinary skills and army training. Did the army training include basic survival training? Oh who am I kidding. Even if it did, this lot of survivors will probably be like every other group ever and be unable to light a damn fire.
Nico looks like he’ll be quite a character and a potential sole survivor. The only thing that really annoys me about his bio is that he says he doesn’t read at all. That’s a big pet peeve of mine.
