Nic Vansteenberghe and Olandria Carthen didn't couple up until midway through the season.
Their first real shot at romance came midway through the season, after the dreaded Casa Amor shake-up. After failing to find a love connection during Casa Amor, Vansteenberghe and Catheren were given the option to couple up or be dumped from the island.

“I just always want you to know that I really do appreciate you, your loyalty and your sensitive side,” Vansteenberghe told the Alabama native during the July 13 finale episode. “I called you my hard-boiled egg because you're hard on the outside and soft on the inside.”
