Nicole Franzel Big Brother
Franzel applied for Big Brother 16 as a self-described “super-fan.” At the time of her entry into the house, she was the second youngest contestant. She won the Head of Household role three times in her season, in Weeks 3, 6, and 7. However, due to the rules of the Battle of the Block competition, she was dethroned on two of these reigns when her nominees won safety. During her season, she earned a reputation for being a potential threat to the competition. The Battle of the Block competition also saved her from being kicked out in Weeks two and five.
She became the third member of the jury and the first person in Big Brother history to win the Head of Household title, be dethroned by the Battle of the Block competition, and be evicted in the same week. She was evicted on Day 56 by a vote of 6-0. After winning the Battle Back competition, in which one of the first four jurors would return to the house, Franzel went back to the house on Day 63. Franzel was re-evicted as the fifth member of the jury by a vote of 4-0 on Day 71, after being nominated for the sixth time in a row. Franzel decided in favor of Derrick Levasseur to win Older sibling 16 on finale night. Along with Zach Rance and Donny Thompson, the eventual winner of “America’s Favorite Houseguest,” Franzel was revealed to be one of the top three vote-getters.
Franzel fell in love with Hayden Voss, a fellow houseguest, throughout the show. From September 2014 to the beginning of 2016, the couple dated. Franzel returned to Big Brother 18 alongside James Huling, Da’vonne Rogers, and Frank Eudy following her appearance on Big Brother 16. Throughout the season, Franzel was awarded the power of Head of Household twice, once in week 1 and once in week 10. Additionally, she obtained the Power of Veto twice—once in week 10 and once in week 12. Franzel chose a strategy that was less aggressive than in her first season to avoid being eliminated, which worked because she didn’t get eliminated until the final four episodes. She ultimately escaped eviction. Franzel advanced to the third and final competition against Paul Abrahamian after winning the second part of the three-part Final Head of Household. Abrahamian crushed Franzel, however decided to carry her to the Last Two. Franzel was the first female houseguest to defeat a male in the Final Two, defeating Abrahamian by a vote of 5-4.
Franzel and fellow houseguest Corey Brooks engaged in a showmance when the show first aired. From September 2016 to December 2016, they were together. Franzel, who went by the name “Nicole F.” to avoid being confused with fellow All Stars houseguest Nicole Anthony, who is famous for Big Brother 21, returned for Big Brother 22: Together with 15 other houseguests, the All-Stars Franzel was one of two previous champs to go into the house, the other being Older sibling 14 victor Ian Terry. In week 10, Franzel won her first and only competitions for Head of Household and Power of Veto. Franzel won the first of three Final Head of Household competitions, competing against Cody Calafiore and Enzo Palumbo. Franzel competed against Calafiore on the finale night, and Calafiore won by one point over Franzel. Franzel was the third houseguest when he decided to evict her. Franzel cast a vote in favor of Calafiore. With 255 days spent in the Big Brother house, Franzel set a record for the most days spent there.
