What did you think of Nicole's gameplay? It's the reverse Rachel Reilly effect. In season 12, Rachel was hated by America, but turned it around and everyone loved and rooted for her to win her second time around. For Nicole in season 16, she was a fan favorite, but this time, although she still has some fans, most super fans and alumni are extremely critical of her game.
Allison Grodner: She didn't get nominated the entire time until just this past week. She came to play. To go an entire season as a veteran where the spotlight and target are already on you and to make it to the end like this is pretty amazing. Instead of attaching herself to the girls, she attached herself to the guys and played with them and was an equal partner in the alliances. And I think they would say the same. And she won when she needed to win. She played a pretty strong game. It's hard to fault her.
Why do you think people do fault her though?
Grodner: I'm actually not sure. Rich, do you have an opinion on that? And maybe you know Brian. I've seen it. I've certainly seen the negativity about her online and I'm not sure why. It's hard to say. I'm not saying this is the case, but sometimes I look at how men and women are treated differently. There's a double standard in terms of them being an aggressive game player if you're a man and being applauded for it. And being a sneaky, 'backstabby' game player as a woman and suddenly maybe you're a bitch. (Laughs.)

Grodner trying to turn Nicole into some feminist icon the show desperately needs has to be one of the most hilariously delusional and infuriating things she's ever done. I'm not surprised
at all but I'm still speechless nonetheless?
