Nick is forever the legend.
He is nearly THE godfather in Reality Television.
Nasty Nick is 'The Original'. Everyone from Richard Hatch to a hundred others tried to emulate him.
BB Producers probably still kick themselves for not quickly putting together a scheme to let him win.

Maybe so many younger/newer viewers don't remember this but BB was something of a very serious social experiment,
and,
the idea of someone scheming was stunning.. almost unbelievable in a way. Psychologists and Sociologist were studying this (seriously),
and,
a nation of people (nationS) sat down to this moment in a genuine social event:

Watch this if you don't know it - it was one of THE 'catalyst moments' for not on Big Brother but for BB and Survivor and Reality shows around the WORLD.

And yes.. by todays standards that is absolutely NOTHING in comparison. Nasty Nick would barely register as any kind of 'wrongdoer' in following seasons.
He would probably get classed as a 'goodie' and deemed 'adorable' for his little scheme by todays standard,
but,
that man was HATED AND DESPISED. He was all but officially 'The Most Hated Man in Britain'.

The funny thing is that he does come across (in all further interviews) as probably one of the nicest and most honest people you could meet heh.

...or is it all a front hmm?

HUGE appreciation for Nick and thanks for posting this too!
