Nicole Franzel made a huge impression on Big Brother 16.
She made such an impression that producers went out of their way to secure her return to the game, but was it all for nothing?
Nicole was a competition beast on her first season, but her showmance with Hayden ultimately cost her the prize.
When she appeared in the season premiere, she made it clear that she wouldn’t allow another showmance to cost her the prize.
She went back on that promise the moment she laid eyes on Corey and they’ve been an item pretty much ever since.
This being the season of the showmances has allowed Nicole to stay relatively under the radar, but it’s getting to the stage of the game that the all-male alliance are dominating and want their partners out of the game.
That’s what was happening with Zakiyah, until Nicole heard that her name was being thrown around.
Nicole realized that with Michelle most likely being evicted, she should try and make an ally out of Zakiyah.
She went to her and told her about the original plan to evict her, throwing Paul under the bus.
Zakiyah then told Nicole that she would look out for her in the game.
Nicole was obviously ecstatic, but she knew that the news could get back to Paulie.

She went to Paulie and told him herself. He was surprisingly okay with it, but he’s probably going to team up with his alliance to target Nicole.
There is a double eviction this week, so there’s a huge chance that Nicole could be going if she doesn’t win a competition.
James has the power to cancel two of the votes out, but what will he do?
There’s also a chance that if Nicole is somehow evicted, she could have the round trip ticket.
If she returns after being evicted, it would probably push her to win the HOH and shake things up in the house.
What do you think?
Has Nicole ruined her game?
