The audience finally won a draft! 🥳

[@kk-adventures3364]

We better get first pick in the next draft haha

[@hopedesjarlais1740]

For me Frankie was the most entertaining all through the games!

[@mculbert1467]

same. I was a bit anti-Frankie going in but I completely enjoyed what he was bringing to this show.

[@alexisr5199]

Yes. Was rooting for him. 😁

[@ericMT]

I wasn’t a Frankie fan necessarily but he did such a great job on this show, mainly due to his positive attitude and he added a lot of fun to the show.

[@M.M435]

I loved how Frankie "prancered" right into the final comp.

[@snakey319]

a 40 yr old acting like a 5 yr old, nope.

[@deljs6]

Frankie has a great gig with Disney channel playing a villain on a kids show and so his over the top antics on reindeer games were right on part with what he does on Disney😊

[@PenguinNinja45]

What show?

[@deljs6]

@@PenguinNinja45 Henry Danger.....he was on there from 2014-2020 I think? His name was Frankini lol it might be nickelodeon

[@KyleFartboy]

Frankie was a hoot, but someone has to talk to his 70s hairdo.

[@KateBerggren]

I had heard that there was a NEW guy in charge of the competitions. Hope they keep him on for next summer!

[@lovettuduebor1902]

I hope we get a second season. My mind is going wild with the cast choices.

[@edeishadennis9729]

TALK TRUTH!! I LOVE LOVE IT SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!! EXCITED LOL

[@imscanon]

Interestingly Frankie was the only one of the final 4 who wasn´t a previous winner yet everyone was so intent on targeting him as the biggest comp threat, which I thought was interesting. Turns out Taylor didn't need X to get Frankie out after all and did it herself!

[@janetmccormack25]

One thing will say about Taylor's naysayers...she proved she can hold her own in comps!! :)

[@BLMoore]

​@@janetmccormack25it's wild that people thought Taylor was floating her way through her season when she was the target everyweek and she didn't really suck at any of the comps

[@janetmccormack25]

@@BLMoore I'm so happy she took out X! I know it's fun and games lol 😆...I like X but still bitter (not mean bitter lol 😆 as is a game whether real bb season or reindeer games) about him winning his season of cookout because imo if not for Tiffany, the cookout may not have happened and she was my fav to win that season 😉 either way, I enjoyed the reindeer games 🙂

[@iketlengentertainment4868]

Nicole is a certified BB hall of famer.😊

[@Kunoichi4ever4]

I am still not over the fact that BB16 seemingly is a cast of bests, coz they just keep winning! Loved this for Nicole! She finally is receiving the love she always deserved, as a bit villanious, but really effective and great player of realtiy tv in general.

[@M.M435]

Nicole is Queen. And I've always loved Frankie.

[@deljs6]

I KNEW when I saw that snow flake competition it was going to be crazy because that comp is always a nightmare lol

[@lisadgingersnaps9843]

That snowflake stack just looked like nightmare.

[@Glebborama]

Why didn't the three finalists get to open presents from under the tree and then get to magically "disappear" when jumping in the air like the previous 5 contestants?

[@e_eyster]

I still feel like this season proves that even though a large amount of the fanbase doesnt like her, Nicole is arguably the best Big Brother player of all time, and im not sure anyone could leave her out of a top five (even top three) list.

[@shanellecooper2981]

Let's not get too carried away now. Nicole is good, but definitely not top 3 of all time BB players.

[@e_eyster]

@@shanellecooper2981 Body of work says otherwise. First season goes out in 7th to an alliance led by someone often called the best player ever. Second season wins. Third season loses in part three of final HoH by one question that if she had managed to win probably wins that season. Wins this one. 100% best female player of all time (Danielle is only one even close), and apart from Derrick and Dan I think is the best player of all time.

[@cebugirl123]

My money was on Taylor since she is in better shape, the edit looked like Nicole won't be able to reach mistletoe

[@imscanon]

It was a fun show. Glad it was Taylor and Nicole at the end. Nicole's greatest strength is that everyone underestimates her. lol Nothing about her says fierce competitor, but she always pulls it off. Underestimate her at your peril. lol Was sure Taylor had it in the bag. Congrats to Nicole!

[@ericMT]

I’m really surprised that all of you are such experts about Big Brother but you don’t seem to know who Clayton Halsey is. He’s the announcer guy (and Santa) but he’s a talented voice actor and video editor; in fact he’s the chief editor of BB. He’s much, much more knowledgeable about the show than Julie who is basically just a talking head for the show. Halsey would be a much more engaging host, similar to Probst, Phil Keoghan, or TJ Lavin. He also famously edited the extremely popular video for Rico/Suave by Gerardo and was a big part of its success on MTV back in the 90’s.

[@prcbras]

Can we have a deep dive with Frankie Grande? Always wanted him on this podcast

[@cyberbullydefender]

I'll admit that I found Frankie quite entertaining this season. However I still believe that the hate he got was warrented in BB16. He's probably matured since, which is why I wasn't upset to see him. But while he played a good game in BB16, I think it was his personality that turned the live feeders away from him. For me specifically, it was hearing him talk about evicted houseguests. Like when he called nicole a c*nt. I forgot who he was talking to, but I remember he was laying down in the grass in the backyard. That was how ingrained that one scene was to me. And then it was other things here and there. So yeah, I enjoyed him on this. But Frankie's problem has never been the edited part of the shows. It's always been the live feeds that get him in trouble XD

[@speedude0164]

Yeah that's what gets me skeptical. I didn't mind Nicole and Frankie while watching, but I remember most of the problems people had with them were due to live feeds.

[@cyberbullydefender]

@@speedude0164 Exactly. And that's why while I personally like Nicole because of the mess and drama that she brings, I understand why some people just don't vibe with her on a personal level. Just like how I don't vibe with Frankie. But I was able to enjoy him in a format like this. That's why I can say that yes, I enjoyed him this time around. But I'm not going to say for certain that I would be happy to see him on All Stars.

[@ponderwilu]

Kudos to the devious minded person (or persons) responsible for creating the contest themselves for Reindeer Games. How devilishly crafted and compelling to watch unfold were they! The whole show was terrific, from the exciting beginning, to the storybook ending. Looking forward to Reindeer Games 2024! Nicole was a comp beast in disguise and richly deserved the win.

[@Renwick_Davis]

Nicole Franzel is the Sandra Diaz-Twine of Big Brother. It is known 😏

[@SG-sj5in]

What does Taran mean Britney has a better track record than Nicole in every way... she literally only beat her in the tree decorating which was a group challenge. Nicole won the difficult solo challenges

[@theshadow3286]

Yeah Brittany was more pathetic with these comps than I had remembered her

[@RoqbinReality]

I believe he means across their previous seasons. But they also mentioned Nicole throwing in bb22. 🤷

[@KarasuVII]

Britney did better in comps based on Tarans very stupid placement % logic even though Nicole had a much more impressive showing overall.

[@KyleFartboy]

Frankie was a hoot, I’m psyched Nicole won. I really liked her. I was happy to see Taylor but I think her ‘fame’ got to her head, she seemed a little cocky to me. So I wasn’t team Taylor. This was fun though. I liked all the players

[@gingerrodgers7466]

Def got SO cocky! Not a good look IMO

[@KyleFartboy]

@@ashley.taylor174 😂 thought Taylor was pretty confident on BB from what I saw, but being confident and being overly confident, are two different things. Sorry, but yes, she does seem a little cocky. But I have no idea where you got me being intimidated by her is beyond me. 🤔 But hey, you do you....😂

[@Anahita61]

I'm not a huge fan of Frankie's constant "jaw dropping" acting style, but he certainly has enthusiasm. I'm glad Nicole won - she's scrappy!

[@arjunkishore4080]

So you’re saying Nicole Franzel saved Christmas

[@kingo8914]

Nothing against nicole, but she was the LAST person in the whole cast I wanted to win. But I had a feeling that, just because of that, she would win.

[@nancysarver8120]

I totally enjoyed the comps being made so equal to all of the competitors! I hope it moves the producers to make future BB seasons' competitions as equally accessible to all.

[@MsBlackhawk69]

Britney's had issues with Santa since season 12 week 9 lol

[@pattyg1184]

Jif is peanut butter. GIF is what it's called!!!

[@carolyamond1063]

I think next year they should just do America’s favorite players!

[@thelatenightattempts]

Maggie looks particularly lovely this evening.

[@prcbras]

I love her enthusiastic commentary and she always has something positive to say about the contestants. Optimism instead of the typical bb negativity is so refreshing

[@debib.8397]

I wanted a non winner to win

[@CUDDLES55]

BB Reindeer Games was so much better than I thought it would be. Congratulations Nicole, happy you won. I do like Taylor more now after seeing her in this. I can see her hosting a show or being a commentator on a show. She has won the most money of any house guest, so she was not my Number 1 to win it all in Reindeer Games.

[@MoxieMac0]

Glad Nicole won. Frankie knows how to get çamera time.

[@orestria]

I was pretty sure tay was going to beat frankie cuz i could see the frankie slayer edit - the snow flake stacking at the end dragged, I upped the speed there.

[@pattijack]

So glad Nicole won. I think Taylor thought she had it. Taylor got to be rather irritating

[@M.M435]

Got to be? How about always been?

[@alexisr5199]

Yes. Taylor seems to be her own biggest fan now. Humble days are gone.

[@Fonsworld]

@@alexisr5199and this is a problem how? You should be your biggest fan. Yall find anything to hate on that girl sheeesh

[@edeishadennis9729]

Nothing is wrong in being confident ! a lot of us especially ladies need to have that same confident as Taylor !!! beautiful melanin young lady so full of poise..got to love her...

[@stevenwhite8936]

its fitting to see in the same week X try to take the easy way out and lose and Kyland having to face off with a multiple winning competitor on the challenge and win !

[@tiennguyenhoang2003]

I loved you Congratulations Nicole Winner Big Brother Reindeer Games 🎄❄⛄🎅

[@JNDReacts]

Britney’s kids are getting gifts from Krampus this year.

[@withbrian909]

Frankie is 100% Choke Artist. They kept calling each other comp beasts; would love to see them face off against Challenge Competitors from Mtv.

[@loraspurbeck4801]

When our Elf doesn’t move, he always seems to be conserving energy to make pajamas to gift our son the next day…. 😉

[@bryantwittrell3067]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@deirdremcclure7554]

Standout fav - definitely Derek X!

[@AV-jh2ss]

This was a disappointing ending. I wanted Taylor to pull the win. Good for Fruitloop Dingus on winning, but I still don’t like her. Especially after she was making fun of Ian’s autism on BB22.

[@Bev77]

I think it’s way past time to hate people on game shows. They were young and need our grace.

[@donnaa5969]

Lol Chantelle 😆 I mean even Reindeers have to procreate or who would pull Santas sled. Rudolf Jr. Jr, Jr, etc need to retire at some point. Rob your such a Dad 😅

[@wiiichiiii]

Of course Nicole won, she has the same name as SANTA! St Nicole for the W.

[@fadielthedragon]

WE WON THE DRAFT!!!!!! boooooooyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@edeishadennis9729]

This reindeer big brother was everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! one of the best ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These players they are all savages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nicole is a beast yow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!!! LOL

[@IamSnowbird]

I really liked this show. It was just the right amount of episodes. First my dislike. Jordan was just not into it. Don't invite her again. Now my loves. Frankie was great. He was so into it. He owned it. I loved Dereck and Tiffany. They should compete next year. I loved the challenges, the diary rooms, and the costumes. Frankie, Brittany, and Nicole should be the elves next year. Such a perfect, light, fun show for this type of year.

[@martezberry3164]

The eye 👁️ test didn't say Nicole ( she herself said 'pudgy Mom who didn't work out for the show '... This was an upset win 😊

[@lapaylor4039]

I loved this show so much, and the challenges were fun too... glad to hear a better quality game might happen next time. the final challenge was exciting to the end! I thought Frankie would win, but really like Nicole! She did so well all season

[@snakey319]

The comps with different parts (like survivor) were good and should be adapted to reg BB instead of the 12 yr old they have who makes cornball fart jokes and other stupid nonsense.

[@rbsamar]

No 100 days of frank.

[@mirandacover7680]

I usually agree with Maggie but I feel her reads are so off. Frankie is entertaining when he’s edited but he is so self centered and narcissistic. Also, Xavier is so selfish, even him being upset that he was put into the showdown even though it made the most sense just shows how selfish he is. He did it to Tiffany too who should have won!!!

[@stevenwhite8936]

and or kyland

[@palmshoot]

X Selfish? At the end of the day, this was an individual competition, meaning the show.

[@JNDReacts]

Someone really needs to let Maggie know about the r*pe joke Frankie made about Victoria in BB16 so she knows that a lot of the dislike he gets is justified.

[@PenguinNinja45]

What joke?

[@JNDReacts]

@@prcbras oh, I didn’t even know about the Zingbot joke. I was referring to this one (quote from TMZ): During the livestream on Saturday, Grande told two male houseguests they should "double team" Victoria and "take all her virginities."

[@candyliciouz]

I'm sorry like I felt like 3 people didn't deserve to be there and I felt Nicole shouldn't have won IMO

[@edeishadennis9729]

I wonder why ???? some of you all acting like a unuh a Jesus ! thank Goodness he is not like pple ....who are not happy for each other!! this lady is a new mom she deserve to win just like any other.....
