Big Brother 21: Nicole Anthony Reacts to Being the 'Real Winner' (Exclusive)

[@fitwill73]

Nicole was trying to keep Cliff there, but Cliff was willing to make a final 2 deal with Michie behind Nicole’s back.

[@aaronemerson8049]

fitwill73 But he completely backtracked that the next day, and I don’t believe it was really ever his true intention

[@java8619]

Aaron Emerson idk. I think he would’ve been ready to backstab her to get into the final two

[@alion4574]

Java if Cliff would ever take Nicole over Michie into F2 that would go down in history for worst decisions

[@JRJuggernaut1]

@@aaronemerson8049 I don't think he ever planned to betray her either. I think when he saw the situation he decided not to lie to Michie knowing it was either him or Holly he was saving. He decided he would rather be honest then have him evict Holly over a lie, making Michie's decision that much easier. I think the final 2 deal was more insurance in the hopes that if he had control of the final veto he would have insurance if he opted to keep Michie in the final 3, giving incentive to make that move if he so decided. Keep in mind, politicking in BB is always a chaotic mess because of all the relationships people try to maintain, and how often some of them are made up just to protect oneself. A great example of this was season 14, when Dan Gheesling made final 2 deals with both Ian and Danielle, but ultimately he only ever planned to take one of them! He put himself in a position where whoever won would have taken him to the final with them, and it worked despite him never having a chance of winning the season.

@@alion4574 Naw, Cliff beats Nicole and loses to Jackson in a Final 2.

[@dogsnskiing656]

What I love most about Nicole is that she will go home, live her normal life and not move to LA and try to be famous like so many others. She won't be posting half naked selfies on instagram, she's real.

[@oraliamachado880]

Nichole is a sweet heart!

[@Kaastengels]

Even if she decides to move to LA and post half naked selfies it doesnt make her less than a sweetheart she already is

[@JRJuggernaut1]

Ovi was arguably the hero of that season for standing up to the group when Nicole was kept out of the HOH room, but Nicole was easily my favorite castmember of the season. She was genuinely kind but a good player and she really showed the group that she was in it for the long game. I also appreciate and respect that even though she was willing to forgive and move on after the incident, she also recognized the potential implications of the actions toward David, Kemi and Jessica. It was very much a "check your privilege" kind of moment where she did not fully understand what was going on but was willing to take a step back and consider the problematic elements of what was happening!

[@roxanatorres5235]

When she saw her family in the audience I cried with her.

[@daniej5879]

i don't know why Nicole was so surprised that she was America's favorite. She's THE BEST and most decent player ever. I loved her poise and how she carried herself and she stood for what was right by not voting for Mick-racist

[@cheribeard9510]

danie j I was very impressed with Nicole and really had hoped she could win. I was sad her language was as ‘salty’ as the other houseguests. She’s an English major and threw as many “f” bombs as others did. I would like to have seen her do less cursing - just my opinion. However she has a tender heart and sweet nature would make anyone a wonderful friend.

[@dcmochaI]

Considering how much shit she got she thought she deserved it... poor thing. Oh and I bet Bella is triggered and eating humble pie

[@celia1107]

See said she sees herself as “just Nicole” and that’s exactly why everyone lover her, she seems like someone you’d actually meet in real life, not just a reality tv star

[@buffalglo]

Much love to the most important and beautiful player of bb21. You survived living with sociopaths Nicole.

Perfect description of most of them.

[@tedconn158]

Haha. 😂😂

[@melindabelcher9850]

I’m so sad you didn’t win but happy you are afp

[@RareCandeh]

Nicole's reactions and facial expressions at 3:56 just shows how anxious she is to see what went down on social media

[@BlackCatRachel]

Well spoken Nicole! Truly America’s favorite player!

[@Spooky_R]

This might be a bit of an unpopular opinion, but I think Nicole should come back as a vet for another season.

[@corny6909]

Spooky R she is one of my favorite houseguests ever, maybe returning as a kind of James because she was the favorite, but I see them brining back vets for game instead of just being an amazing person

[@dae_da21]

So should David and kemi imo

[@scottaznavourian5791]

Spooky this shouldnt be unpopular...

[@amyb4381]

Spooky R it’s not an unpopular opinion; in fact, it’s the complete opposite. Even though she wasn’t cut-throat, she still played strategically, had a great social game, kept the target off herself, always recovered from sticky situations, and initiated the dismantling of the largest alliance. Her moves were more obvious to the feed-watchers as opposed to the casual (TV-only) watchers, as it didn’t all make the cut. Here’s an unbiased recap of Nicole’s full game, if interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJDUiI2mhpamsKc

[@makeuptimewithkelly8385]

I just love Nicole! She is my favorite and made this season worth watching. I voted daily for her to win AFP and I’m so happy she did. I think she reminds me of “Willow” off of the show Buffy the vampire slayer! She looked so pretty here tonight. Much love Nicole ❤️

Nicole doesn't realise what was said because usually the nasty things on the live feeds that were said were said when she wasn't in the room :P I think a lot of it came from that big alliance of 8.

[@CPS751]

Hi Fonda! We are super fans!

[@cassys777]

Nicole Anthony is the true winner and that was made apparent by the viewers who voted her America's Favorite House Guest at the end. Nicole deserves to be able to play BB again, but since I stopped watching BB this past Sunday and am probably boycotting it indefinitely, I hope they cast her on the Amazing Race! She would be great! ! Jackson Michie is a despicable player. He showed the entire world that he's actually a narcissist with no scruples whatsoever. Any show of emotion or regret was an act played up for the viewers and his mom. When he watches this show, he will see he is not a convincing actor. America didn't buy his fake tears and his attempts at fooling us.

[@llcooljay520]

cassy s after watching the first episode of Survivor, I don’t understand why the BB producers just don’t get it. They don’t need to cast the people they do for us to enjoy the show.

[@gracietollefson4594]

[@andrettitalk9535]

It's low key on it's last legs. This past decade has been rough for the hardcore fans from the early to mid 2000s. Now people like Nicole either make it to finale night or go home within the first 2 weeks of the season. Well anyways they keep re-newing the show on these 1 yr deals. That's the black plague for any show. Either expect a lot of the old rules to change going into the 2020s or soon this show will flop

[@hazelpex712]

I've loved it for a long time - if they had more players like Nicole, who aren't so self absorbed, it could be a great show/game again. But they won't. :/

[@Natasha-kg1zw]

[@courtney6112]

I hate Nicole's game play I hate how America loves her but not michie

[@GemiARC]

Courtney Wourtney America loves her because she may not have played the best game, but you can tell she cared for everyone and people felt for her. She was bullied by a huge group because they lied about her when she was trying to help out Bella and Nick, Nick at one point accused her of faking her anxiety, Bella told her that she was disgusting and and awful person. And to be fair, people act as if floating in the game is awful, but bet a majority of them would go on the show and float and still not be able to make top 3. Michie was good at comps, but there are countless videos and live feed footage at him making a few racist comments, sexist comments, bullying, breaking house rules, etc. I mean he even at one point made his girlfriend cry over her wanting to have fun and do an interview segment with the houseguests left in the game and how they were feeling, and instead of comforting her, he kicked her out the room to cry on her own. There are ways to be good at the game but also be a good person while in the house.

[@Mushruums]

Cris Kelly she claimed to have a panic attack during one of the final HoH comps and wanted a redo and a lot of people wanted her to have one but because she didn’t, they voted for her more

[@criskelly7269]

@@Mushruums When I voted I took into account the fact that she was strong and insperational I heard about the passing out but I didn't watch the finale. My other choice was Tommy but at the beginning of the game he did too much . So if people feeling sorry for her is how she had to get the votes to win America's favorite player then maybe that was her game all along. I loved her on bb21 though who was your choice

They should have ask does she think she could have bet Michie in the final HOH or if she knew all the answers as well. Cause she might have been able to beat Tommy in the 2nd comp. But it she didn't I think it would have been the same outcome.

[@ralphbourgeois5875]

She would not have beaten Tommy in the 2nd comp. Holly is easier to beat than Tommy in that by far and she lost to her. It would have been a Tommy vs Jackson Part 3. If you are thinking it is a Tommy/Jackson/Nicole Final 3 there is a good shot Jackson might take Nicole since he knows Nicole is an easier Final 2 opponent than Tommy anyway so she probably still makes the finals in that case. Jackson might lose to Nicole, but Nicole and Jackson both lose for sure to Tommy. Even if Nicole wins she takes Tommy over Jackson for sure though which is a sure loss so she is better off losing to Jackson anyway.

[@Beautiful_liar]

@@ralphbourgeois5875 Ralph Bourgeois yeah I don't think her picking Tommy would have changed anything but I think there would have been a slight chance that Jackson would have picked her over Tommy for Final 2 depabding on how he felt about the Holly situation.
