[edit] Big Brother 2
Nicole was one of twelve Big Brother 2 contestants, who were confined in a house together, with the objective of outlasting one another. Each week contestants voted out a fellow contestant, until the end where only Nicole and Will Kirby were the last two left. A group of nine evicted contestants were gathered to decide who would win. Each finalist excluded one person, leaving a jury of seven to vote for the winner. Five voted for Will, who won the $500,000 grand prize.<ref>Powell, John, "And the 'Big Brother 2' winner is..."
