Nicole BB22 Game Review

[@maddmaxx46]

I didn't expect Nicole to do a long interview with RHAP. Much respect to her!

[@lauren1026]

She's lying and she's not on Big Brother anymore no respect

[@Asha_DoesStuff]

Does she get paid to do this

[@alina3560]

@@Asha_DoesStuff I’m not sure if they get paid for these long interviews or not. However, Nicole did do a RHAP interview last time too because she’s aware that they are generally more professional.

[@Bytherocks]

So glad Nicole agreed to this interview, no one does it better than Taran. Nicole, played very strategically and it’s good to see her break down her moves.

[@Eric_Rebron]

Yes very much because nicole is someone who seems good at the game but she never talks about her strategy so it's really nice to finally see that our thoughts that she was probably doing all this strategically stuff on purpose has been confirmed by her hopefully people respect their game more after seeing this cause she is a very solid player and a good winner.

[@stevenjameslamb]

Excellent interview by Taran and great job on Nicole's part for hanging in there for a long interview. This may have saved Nicole 15+ therapy sessions - to finally have someone who can relate to her her every move and just walk through the season without the judgement.

[@Kunoichi4ever4]

I love that Nicole spoke about her game with RHAP! No other podcast would be able to give her the respect she deserves for her game this season. Taran LIVED BB22 so if anyone knows as much as possible about this season it is Taran...And if Taran says you are a great player, YOU ARE! all the love to Nicole , wish you the best truly from the bottom of my heart!

[@Southern-Sleuth]

Taran awesome job!!! You're an amazing interviewer! Very talented, friendly, ask great questions, put your guests at ease, sense of humor. I can tell you prepare for hours for every interview. The deep dives analyzing the entire game of each player is phenomenal and thoroughly interesting, captivating, educational, entertaining and enlightening. I have watched bb since the 1st seasons so I love this game very much and I have greatly enjoyed following your YT episodes on bb. It is an extra level of fun for us fans that wouldn't be the same without your immense talent. Thanks so much 🥰

[@layray210]

Nicole tearing up made me tear up😭 I have been SUCH a huge Nicole fan since bb16, I really can relate to her on so many levels. Our personalities are similar, ours looks are similar, voices, both nurses. It’s been a rough one having to hear constant Nicole bashing but we made it thru and I’m sooo proud of her! Don’t let the haters get ya down girl 💗

[@pattibrooks6363]

This makes me so happy! Nicole has been my favorite since BB16. I have and will never understood why so many dislike her so much! I wish Nicole and Victor many years of happiness! ❤️

[@DDirish2713]

I used to like her and didn't understand why so many hated her either until I continued to watch her on 18 and 22... she never owns her villainous ever! I think that's the biggest issue most ppl have with her and have seen so many say it. She may be a sweet, innocent girl from a small town in real life but in the game she is a liar and backstabber and manipulator, which is fine cause thats the game, but she never owns its! She blames stuff on other ppl, even after the game is over, she never just says hey it's a game, I wanna win and I'm doing this cause they're a threat and I want them out, she always blames the other person for doing stuff to her, half the time it isn't even true. She does cry and whine a lot and she hates working with women for some reason... these are just things that I've noticed and has turned me off from liking her like I used too. If she just owned her moves and villainous, she would get way more respect! Hell Evil Dick was an absolute bully on his season but ppl loved him at the time cause he was saying it every week in the DR, I'm doing this to break them down, I want them weak, I want them out, they're a threat. Not saying i loved his tactics but ppl responded better to him cause he owned all of it Nd Nicole just never does. Just my thoughts

[@muriel74]

Ugh! I've never liked her. I don't like her game play at all. And what really bothers me is how much of an adult cry baby she is. All she does is whine, complain, cry. It's annoying!!!

[@scottc4199]

2:00 she talks about the pre-gaming and Derrick controversy. Props to her for talking about it

[@pogodziej]

This interview was more fun than that entire season. Great job.

[@traceyr579]

I can never give anyone credit for whining their way to the end.

[@1sTEfFaniE1]

I'm not a big fan of hers but I agree she is a great player, she reminds me a little of Kevin from BBCAN with all the silent manipulation and seed planting. I think her one great flaw is that she tries to manipulate the viewers in the diary room when we can see from the live feeds that she is not so innocent. I wish she would just take credit for her game using the diary room and goodbye messages.

[@MH-sn2wz]

Oh my goodness, thank you so much Taran. I love Brent, and yet I'm immensely surprised you got an interview with Nicole given how they feel about one another LOL. Who knows, maybe next hell will freeze over and we'll get a Tangela interview.

Honestly Nicole’s a lot of things but she was right on everything about Dani!! Dani was completely obsessed with being Cody’s best friend and he ran her game. I see why she had to be up Cody’s butt cz dani was telling him everything!

I believe we all get caught up in big brother but her interview with et Canada was very sad you can tell she been three he ll.. This interview was very interesting, telling and I think Dani was the one egging everything on they were playing a game at the end of the day.

[@DarkReapersGrim]

I still believe that Paul deserved to win BB18 (and 19, as really boring as that season was) because he did so much in that game while she remained in bed with Corey for 2/3rds of it, that said, I was never a hater of Nicole, especially personally. And in this season, even after the b.s. with going after Janelle, the Committee, her favorable edits with production, feeling as though production wanted her to win so they could have their first two-time winner, etc, I never disliked her personally. Sidenote: She said in this interview if she won HoH when Danielle did that she wouldn't have put up Ian but instead would've put up Memphis and Tyler (after David used his Disruptor power and Da'Vonne saved Kevin with the PoV), nobody believes that. Cody would've ordered her to put up Ian twice. Taran did a really good job highlighting her (and other people's) gameplay and making me see more in-depth the complexities of their gameplay. I don't always agree with Taran, but he made me appreciate her gameplay more. The interview was good overall.

[@cupcakesarenice6357]

I take everything Nicole says with a grain of salt - there are some things she is asserting that don't match up with what happened on the feeds, and she does have a history of dishonesty with the audience. That being said, great interview by Taran, and I appreciate that Nicole took the time to speak on the RHAP podcast.

Nicole has NOTHING to be ashamed of. She worked her butt off. Props to you and Taran. Great interview.

[@jg8475]

10 minutes in and Nicole isn’t owning the game. Dodged questions on pre-game when we know from Janelle and Dani that she was doing it. When it came to talking about Janelle she could not own that she wanted her out even though she pushed for it. And imo it is okay to pregame and push for Janelle going home, I just don't get why still tippy-toe around the questions post-game. Still appreciate the interview. I won’t watch it all but hope the interview got better as it went on.

[@pistachiosandpopcorn7146]

Just think of how Dr Will acted when he was cut by Janelle. Did he act entitled and cry and play victim? This is why people don’t like Nicole. She is such a good liar so you might as well think whatever she says..the opposite is true.

[@Tomiola07]

Taran is good at the flowing of his interviews! Definitely a talent there and Nicole is such a liar. There’s so many things we know are truth and no matter how much she tried to pander to us viewers the live feeds never lie. She gives herself WAY too much credit. A lot of things didn’t go how she wanted to this season. Shes not some master manipulator, Xmas (who is known for playing a loyal game) was the only one who somewhat listened to her and even tried to blindside her. She’s still not fully owning the Janelle push, Ian vote, and Davonne lie which is pathetic. Everyone is right that she rolls out of bed halfway at the end of the season and nobody wants to waste an HOH on her. Every season all she does she is latch on to a male player (this summer Cody) and rides their coattails. Nobody respects that lackluster gameplay especially in jury and she has the audacity to be offended that they shouldn’t think that way? Nicole should’ve never done this season, every time she comes on she worsens her reputation. This season she couldn’t trick us viewers and that mask she wears really came off and we saw her real face in that house.

[@valerie4697]

I’m torn about Nicole. I liked her on her first season and then coming into 22/ending I REALLY didn’t like her. After this interview, I’m warming again. I can understand and agree with some of her points. Especially regarding how moves are perceived when made by male vs female. One thing that still bothers me though is not taking full ownership of behavior. She puts everything that happens in the house under game play but I disagree. Specifically the Ian situation for example. No she didn’t start it or add to the comments but her participation via laughing speaks to personal imo. I think the bottom line is I feel she’s more savage than she wants to admit or appear to be. I have more respect for her game now though and may give her podcast a listen.

[@shelbyanderson3905]

Totally agreed

[@chevon1920]

It’s weird I couldn’t stand her in bb16 cause she just seemed catty towards amber and brittney. I’m pretty sure she had a bit of a crush on the beast mode cowboy and we know he was obsessed with amber so she didn’t like amber which I can’t stand girls like that. But in bb18 I thought she owned her being a snake more and made some moves. In bb22 she went back to trying to be the goody two shoes that she just isn’t and it made her very obnoxious and fake.

[@valerie4697]

@@chevon1920 understandable. I think I just liked her more as an underdog. She didn’t seem like someone who would be likely to make it far but definitely didn’t like everything about her game in BB16. She has owned it more than people want to admit but I think there are still somethings that she hasn’t copped to. I also think having Dani on this season made me soften to Nicole 😂.

Very happy we got this interview, hoping we can get more bb22 cast members to do this. Possibly a joint interview would be a good idea to entice some of the cast to do a podcast. Maybe like doing a joint interview with Memphis and Christmas, or Cody and Enzo, but getting Cody and Enzo separately is something ppl would rather have. And then maybe in addition to separate interviews with Cody and Enzo, we could have maybe a shorter joint interview with them together bc they are so much fun to watch together!

[@wendyeskelin8765]

I was not that much of a fan of Nicole this season since there were so many others I liked more, but I do feel like it was so unfair with all the yellers. I wish BB would move the lot so it didn't have such an easy access. I think that Dani had a very bad attitude and I get it her feelings were hurt. I think she was so nasty about it all because she was hurt that Cody wanted Nicole to stay over her. Which makes sense her and Cody were together non stop. This was a good interview. I liked it that there wasn't talking over each other and the interview was not rushed at all and went through the season week by week. I enjoyed it.
