Why is bringing up something bad she did in BB7 any different from loving her for her funny moments in BB7? If you're telling me that you've disregarded everything from BB7 and are basing your opinion on her purely on her time in BB16, I find that hard to believe. Her past BB stints are either relevant or they're not, and that goes for all of it.

On top of that, you didn't specify in your post that you're referring simply to BB16. You commented on her being simply mischevious and harmless (a comment that seemed to be a general observation not limited to one timeframe), so I provided what I believe to be evidence of the contrary.

Do I think her being a spiteful piece of work in BB7 defines her as a person for the rest of her life? No, but I'm talking in terms of how I view her as a housemate, my opinion of which is soured by times like the one I mentioned. If people are entitled to recite "WHO IS SHE?!" 9 years later, others are equally entitled to hold an opinion on her less-acclaimed moments.

Jack having an ego doesn't at all change or take away from what Nikki's doing. I don't disagree about Jack, but I don't believe that, because of my negative opinion of him, unecessary spitefulness is warranted.

And Nikki herself isn't a stranger to having an ego and openly considering someone else her lesser ... it just so happens that, like with Jack, the person on the receiving end happens to be (rightfully) unpopular, while Nikki is very popular, so it was applauded.
