Nopalito joined this past season in the Skeleton Coast as a late addition to the cast after one cast member fell inactive right before the start of the season.
Because of this, his tribe already created relationships with one another before Nopalito joined the game.
This severely hurt his chances as he was voted out, despite being one of the more active players in the tribe's first challenge.
Now, Nopalito gets his chance to prove how he can do when he is a planned part of the cast.
