‘Big Brother 16’ exclusive: Nicole Franzel on Hayden, targeting Christine, more

Thursday night, “Big Brother 16” lost one of its most-popular houseguests with America as Nicole Franzel was sent packing. This came just a few days in the house after Christine broke her promise to her about backdooring her, and it puts her out just one week after her friend / boyfriend / whatever you want to call him Hayden Voss was sent packing.

It’s possible that Nicole (who we picked preseason to win) returns to the game next week, but with her in jury we did get a chance to submit a few email questions to her. As usual, we were not allowed to ask about anything that would disrupt the fairness of the game.

CarterMatt – How would you describe your feelings since being evicted from the game?

Well, way to rub it in! :D I’m actually in a super great mood and I’m grateful for the experience, being part of the jury and knowing I could have a chance to get back in. I also had a few days to prepare myself should I be evicted.

Had Christine not backdoored you, would you have tried to work with her in the weeks ahead?

Yes.

How much harder was it playing the game this past week without Hayden around?

SO much harder! I trusted nobody, I had nobody to bounce ideas off of and it was hard knowing the house was against me.

In going back to Jocasta’s eviction, did you have any feeling at all that you were going to be blindsided, and Zach was going to stay?

Actually, I did mention to Hayden that people were starting to act weird and asked him to find out what was going on. He said the plan was still to evict Zach so I was COMPLETELY blindsided!

If you somehow get a chance to get back in the house, what would be your #1 priority?

Getting Christine out!

We like that we can picture Nicole saying all of these things, but we’re also a little bummed still that she isn’t seeing that Derrick and Cody are the two that she really has to concern herself with. Without them, Christine and everyone else will scatter. Then again, we can’t really blame her given that she has to act based on the information she has.
