Nicole Ann Franzel (born June 30, 1992) is an American television personality who was born in Ubly, Michigan. She graduated college as an ER nurse in 2014. She is best known for her appearance on Big Brother 16 in 2014 and for winning Big Brother 18 in 2016.
Upon her entry onto Big Brother 16, Franzel was the second youngest contestant in the house. She applied for the show as a self-proclaimed 'super-fan.' On day 56, she was evicted by a vote of 6-0 and became the third member of the jury, and the first person in Big Brother history to win HOH and get evicted in the same week. Nicole returned to the house Day 63 after she won the challenge between Hayden, Jocasta, and Zach. On Day 71, Nicole was nominated for a sixth consecutive time and was re-evicted by a vote of 4-0 as the fifth member of the jury. Franzel voted for fellow house guest Derrick Levasseur during the finale and was even among the top vote-getters for "America's Favorite Houseguest".
After her appearance on Big Brother 16, Franzel later became a returnee contestant (along with James and Da'Vonne from Big Brother 17 and Frank from Big Brother 14) on Big Brother 18. Franzel earned the power of HOH two times during the season, first in week 1 and second in week 10. She was also able to escape nomination until the final 4 where she was nominated alongside Corey Brooks, and was spared to the final 3. She entered the finale where she was crowned the winner by a 5-4 vote over fellow house guest Paul Abrahamian; becoming the first woman to beat a man in the finale in the history of the series.
During her appearance on Big Brother 16, Franzel had an intimate relationship with fellow house guest Hayden Voss where they continued dating outside of the show. However, they parted after a year of being together.
