I guess all is forgiven.

Aww, that's so nice to see.

Here's an interview with Nicole by the Hollywood Reporter:

Thanks for the link. Usually we cringe as houseguests come out and find out all kinds of horrifying things that people were saying about them. Nicole is living the ultimate reality dream...coming out to discover almost everybody loved her. Wouldn't that be just the most amazing feeling? 

[Brian Cronin]

I think Kemi and Bella are destined to be lifelong friends who stop being friends every other weekend.

She also needs to make sure that this whole experience doesn't go to her head. 

Popularity can change people.

Exactly what I was thinking. It's so sad now to see early videos of Justin Bieber singing and playing piano. So adorable and innocent. For some reason, that's what flashed through my mind watching Nicole get deluged with adoration. It has a way of making people crazy. 

[Ellee]

I understand the concern about the possible clingers and also changing due to new found popularity. I do.  I also have a feeling that she was always popular among the people she had contact with.  

Nicole seems to have a strong support system in place.  I would expect them to keep her on target.  

Go, Nicole.  

ETA  Was going to add more but the theme song from Mary Tyler Moore show popped in my head.  

Lol.. step away, Ellee, step away.  😂

Same, which is why I hope Nicole goes the Donny route. He was beloved (and his AFP win was the last time Julie ever mentioned a specific number in terms of the voting that year, I think) but he also faded back into his normal life. He appears only occasionally in the reality TV world (most recently on an RHAP recap this season) but otherwise, he seems to be quite content with going back to his life.

Nobody wants to be or see the Season 13 version of Jordan. 😖

Man, her rep would be so much better if she never came back.

See I was thinking Michele from Big Brother 11.  Didn't she go all girls gone wild after her season and start doing porn?  That was so what the fuck to me.  

So yeah I would hope Nicole does not somehow end up making porn.

[Lsk02]

Did Nicole participate in the Las Vegas parties? I haven’t seen her in any of the pictures. I think that’s a good sign.

No, Nicole left and went back home while everyone else went to Vegas.

Her and Cliff were the only two to go home to their families instead of partying in Vegas.

Um, I come here in shock. Today I learned that season 1's Jamie is the ceo and cofounder of It Cosmetics. Did everyone know this but me? She did well for herself!

I just learned this not long ago and was like WHAAAAAAAAAT when I saw it.

I didn't watch all the Rob Has a Podcast interviews, but I saw most of Jackson's, and they asked him about going on the Challenge, and he said he'd be into it for the challenges but not for the social stuff.

And he doesn't even know what the challenge is. I do think he'd do really well on it.  Even with how messed up he is he's got the mental strength to get through tough challenges.

Once the season ends, are the house guests required to stick around for all of the interviews or can they leave and go home as soon as the show is over?

I think the final 3 might have to stick around for some additional interviews for a day or 2 but really they can go home whenever they want.

It was Bella and Kimi arguing in a hotel room. It was on David's instagram.

Low blow, David.....let them hash it out in peace, don't be a dick.  And this is coming from someone who loved you and wished that you had gone far in the game.

Otherkate, I always chuckle whenever I see Jamie on It commercials....I was the main one that said she wouldn't amount to anything celebrity-wise and look at her now, she's literally a billionaire!

I'm hoping David wanted to show us that they were actually in a room together, trying to work things out. That's a big improvement from the icy silence between them earlier. I'd love to see them patch things up because in the early days of BB they seemed to genuinely enjoy each other's company. 

[ShaNaeNae]

I've been following Jamie Kern (now Lima) for years, but I'm also a makeup geek.  She did REALLY well for herself, but sold it to L'Oreal.  What has also changed about her is back on BB, she would not take off her makeup.  She slept with a full face in fear of being seen without it.  She was highly self conscious.  Now she demonstrates the power of her makeup with frequently showing her no makeup rosacea-filled face. She's also put on a bit of weight, which actually for me, makes me more comfortable.  It seems everyone famous is always a perfect, size 2 and I get self conscious, so it's nice to see someone like some of us.  And I couldn't stand her on BB1.

I was shocked to hear about BB11 Michelle some years ago with her porn career.  I mean she was cast as the brainy nerd!  Last I checked, she was promoting medical marijuana I believe.

So, what exactly ARE Jackson's mental health issues?  I hear people talk about him having problems, but nobody says what they are.  Would really appreciate some insight!  Thanks!

There’s an infographic list, but unfortunately it’s simply way too big to upload to PrTm.  You can find it here, though:

I thought Jackson looked mad earlier as well, during the jury questions.  I thought it entirely possible that he would yell at Holly for daring to even suggest that she might deserve the win. 

Trust me, @Thalia - you weren’t alone.

On 9/27/2019 at 12:13 PM, LGGirl said:

Yeah, but Hayden and Caleb were pretty well liked.  Jackson is not.  

Might want to reconsider that statement...

On 9/27/2019 at 1:11 PM, Lady Calypso said:

Don't forget that Caleb was not initially liked at all. Remember, he was the guy who was basically stalking Amber (somehow...in the house where they can't escape), pressured her to go on a date and, when she rejected his advances, got her evicted. 

 Who could forget Beast Mode Bunny Boiler?

That's been proven as untrue, by the way. Jackson was talking about Cliff/Nicole offering him a guaranteed spot in F2, not production.

Which is only one of the two reasons why I really hate that chart. The other big reason why I hate that chart is because it's implying that mental illness is bad and can essentially be controlled. Point out all of Jackson's flaws, it's fine, but there are some things that he legitimately cannot control.

HOLLY ALLEN, 24, WYOMING.

It'll be at least two more weeks before that isn't a Pavlovian response. 

At least Holly has a sense of humor about it... 😉

[Otherkate]

Not-attached-at-the-hip-to-Jackson Holly is actually OK. I think she'd do much better on Survivor than he would, btw.

[Melina22]

She looks different somehow. Younger and tinier. She probably feels huge relief to be out of that pressure cooker. 

[Ellee]

Have to admit I didn't read this yet.  BB fans are destroying her business?  It can't be true, can it?

ETA:  It's a June article.  Sorry

Nicole and Taran

Nicole and Taran

Very cute. I was actually amazed at how much Taran was behind Nicole for weeks. Usually he focuses mainly on gameplay. There's something about her personality plus underdog story on BB that triggered him and led to her extreme popularity. I definitely didn't see this coming.

On a different subject entirely, the non-stop coverage of Nicole is starting to get more than a little creepy. 

It's sort of like when Sully landed the plane on the water. People were utterly obsessed with him and his heroism for weeks. He's still loved and admired, but eventually people moved on to the next big thing. 

Nicole is like Kaysar. His gameplay was just average, but people loved him and still do. It's one of those things you can't predict. 

My prediction is that casting is going to cast more Nicole types, but it probably won't take. She was like lightning in a bottle.

To be fair, the finale only ended exactly a week ago. In another week or two, tops, it'll all die down. Everyone forgets about these people by the end of this month, unless one of them do something so heinous or so scandalous that it hits the reality tv show world again.

And yet they never tried to cast someone like Kaysar again. In other news, Grodner sucks.
