Honorable mention to Britney for not giving up in the Hamster Wheel competition, performing better than Frankie and Xavier.

It’s still so funny to me how Nicole hid the fact that she won from her family. I feel like I would do the same thing if I won Survivor or something 😭😭

Taylor Hale not ever being in Santa Showdown for the entire season is just iconic! Taylor is a legend!

Sad they didn't do it again this year :(( this was the BEST spin off they've ever done, hopefully we get it again

BB16 made me like Nicole, BB18 made me like Nicole a bit more, BB22 made me lowkey dislike Nicole, and BBRG made me remember why I liked her. She's so camp and so savvy.

i still find it absolutely hilarious that most of the reindeer games players are considered some of the best physical competitors or “best to never win” and then cameron is just… there

While I would have loved to see taylor win, Nicole was such a satisfying winner to this season. She really went out and did the damn thing.

@nightkore6756 1 year ago (edited)

okay very out of topic but it is always so entertaining to watch Taylor, she is so graceful

As someone who likes spoilers, analysis, and has always wanted to watch BB, this channel has been a godsend since I found it. I actually watched BB10 after I saw your Dan video but I haven't gone and watched any others, I always find myself more drawn to rewatch your winners vids lol. Thanks for the killer competition show commentary!

Brittney surviving that Santa’s Showdown was an incredible TV moment

@HolyAlondite 1 year ago

In a lot of ways, Reindeer Games was EXACTLY what Nicole's reputation needed. Since I know that one of the things that turned people off from her in 18 and 22 was her somewhat refusing to own up to her more villainous gameplay. Whereas in Reindeer Games, you still have her able to highlight her social play and ability to kick her comp game into overdrive when needed, but without the burden of perceived lack of ownership

sorry but THATS why danielle hated britney so much on traitors 😭😭

As Meech said — she’s a snake. That’s Nicole’s strategy. She aligns herself behind bigger threats to slip through the cracks and her sweet as sugar, soft-spoken persona makes people let their guard down with her word. She can pull her weight depending on the comp, but her strength lies in lying while keeping a barrier around her.

I was so impressed with Nicole. She really entered the underdog position she put herself in bb16 but this time she walked away with a clean victory

@laurenriley3685 1 year ago

I agree, it does feel like she was back to her BB16 self where she was just having fun and enjoying whatever time the game was going to allow her to play. I’m not sure that I would want to see her on another proper season, but another short spin-off season may be fun (like a Lover’s Lane or some other holiday).

Nicole did incredibly good, especially compared to her previous game in BB22.
She managed to win quite a lot of competitions and she managed to once again get underestimated.

Sandra from Survivor is clapping hands.
