Noura Salman
The wild card nobody could predict, who kept dodging the axe and won the immunity that decided the endgame.
Known for
Noura bounced into Island of the Idols on Vokai with a big, unpredictable energy that made tribemates nervous. She warned Jason Linden he was a target, sniffed out Molly Byman's power before the blindside, and then fumbled her Island of the Idols test: she tried to talk her way into the challenge caller role, got tangled in her own lies, and Vokai benched her. Losing that wager cost her a vote.
The tribe switch gave her a fresh start on Lairo, where she helped blindside Jack Nichting with Kellee Kim, then promptly told on Kellee. After the merge she drifted in and out of danger, won immunity in the split-tribal twist, and helped send Aaron Meredith home. A reward snub on the loved ones' day set off a long rant at her old tribemates and a failed coup. She won the final immunity, and figuring Tommy Sheehan could not make fire, sent Dean Kowalski to face Lauren Beck. Dean won, and when her Final Tribal pitch went off on a tangent, the jury shut her out and gave her no votes.
