Nicole Franzel -- 10 things to know about the 'Big Brother' houseguest

Nicole Franzel is a two-time Big Brother contestant who is out for blood this season.


Nicole, 24, first entered the Big Brother house in Season 16, but she was unfortunately the eighth person evicted from the game. She got her second chance to play on Big Brother's currently-airing 18th edition.

Nicole returned to the house with three other veteran players -- Da'Vonne Rogers, James Huling and Frank Eudy. Although the returnees initially made a pack to stick together, they did just the opposite, and now only Nicole and James remain.

Nicole has been labeled a "snake" because she tries to play different sides of the house and make deals despite the fact houseguests this season are terrible at keeping secrets. Michelle Meyer threw her under the bus, saying she cannot be trusted.

To her benefit, Nicole is in a showmance with Corey Brooks, who is best buds with Paulie Calafiore, a strong leader in the house who hasn't even been mentioned as a target until this week.
