As one of the players on BB Reindeer Games, Nicole is joined by several other Big Brother legends who are competing for the $100,000 grand prize waiting at the end of the series. In the six-episode miniseries, nine Big Brother legends have returned to the BB house, which has been converted into Santa's lodge. Big Brother Reindeer Games season 1 will eliminate one player in each episode until the finalists remain to face off.

Nicole's Challenges and Triumphs

While legend Nicole has won Big Brother in the past, after Big Brother Reindeer Games she brought home an entirely different kind of prize. On Instagram, Nicole shared a photo of the bruising she's suffered from competing on the physically demanding series. 'Working at the North Pole was NO FREAKIN’ JOKE!!!!!' Nicole captioned the photo of her legs, which are covered in bruises, before promoting the new CBS series.

Despite her social connections being somewhat shaky, Nicole was able to bridge the gaps in her relationships to stay afloat in the game. The Big Brother 18 winner didn't win the first competition of the series, but she was able to keep herself from getting a disadvantage in the second competition and stayed safe from Santa's Showdown. While she seems to be all-in on the girls' alliance with Britney, Danielle Reyes, and Taylor Hale, Nicole has also said she'd work with Frankie and Cody. Despite sharing in the diary room that she'd be open to backstabbing Frankie and Cody when possible, she seems to be in a great spot socially.

Nicole's Journey to the End

While Nicole may not be the most beloved player in the Big Brother community, she's earned her spot as a BB legend. Competing in three separate seasons and now Big Brother Reindeer Games, Nicole's spent the most time in the BB house out of any other houseguest and has learned the best way to play the game for herself. The competitions on the holiday spin-off may be difficult, but it seems likely that Nicole will work her way as close to the end as she can, potentially even taking the win of the holiday series.
