AND THE REAL WINNER IS ....... NICOLE


Jamie's little song and dance of seeing the light in the final hour may have gotten her the money but the real winner in my eyes is Nicole. From start to finish she handled herself with style,class, and grace. No matter what came up she got through it with flying colors the challenges, Fiona having it out for her, and Eric and the others ploting against her. I believe the kind of person she is makes her a winner. Is comimg in to this being out going, self confidence ,and full of personality make her less able to grow ? I don't think so. I think she showed alot as the show went on. She seemed to have an open mind to anything weather it meant undressing and facing a challenge nude or eatting sea weed and roots. As I said before Jamie may have walked away with the money but the winner hands down is NICOLE.

Yes this is true, and I already said it. Nice to see i'm not the only one who thinks this though.

You could tell the rest of the guests were just jealous of her. And all the sh1t she had to put up with was ridiculous.

It ws amazing that Nicole put up with all that crap with such grace. Most people would of flipped out and got pissed at people like Eric and Fiona who had it out against her. I'm glad also of the face that she was willing to accept all the differences of the alts, unlike someone like Loana, who seems rather intolerant of other relgions, including Wicca and of anything that didn't fit into her idea of what's "right".

I'm sorry to say I missed the last couple of shows. Who was the winner?

reply

No way, I didn't like her at all....she was such a suck up...I totally agree with Eric and I was so glad Fiona finally said something to her....sorry you guys

reply

I couldn't stand Nicole, rich, spoiled, fake, self-absorbed (that's why she was able to win trials and ignore criticisms), and she would not shut up. The Alts choose Jamie, Jamie won, deal with it.

reply

Agree. I thought Nicole was an obvious fake, and was totally self-centered. That doesn't mean I liked what Eric and Fiona were up to; Fiona, especially, should be ashamed. I'd have voted her off, if I could have. I do think Jamie was one of the more genuine characters, and I was glad she won.

reply

I absolutely agree. Nicole was the coolest guest from Day One.

I agree I would have liked to see Nichole win. Jamie was very weak from the very beginning. I was very glad to see Eric go though I have to say. Fiona and Eric’s relationship was out of order. How could she possibly be objective when the attraction was so obvious.

Eric even made it clear that they had a relationship after the show so Fiona and Eric should have both been dismissed for their conduct. Nichole was a strong competitor and a lot of the house mates where very scandalous and if you have that much time to hate someone else it speaks volumes about your own personal integrity.

The goal of this challenge was to focus on changing yourself and I think most of the contestants were more focused on changing others which totally missed the point.

reply

Nicole definitely should have won the whole thing. I thought she handled herself and the situations she was put in with grace and dignity and did very well in the competitions. Sure she talked a lot, but who doesn't? That's the reason for everyone else's hatred of her?

When the show first aired, and even now, I feel Nicole should have won. The girl went in with an optimistic, happy attitude, did everything the alts asked her to do with gusto, and kept her head held high the whole time even when the others were snotty to her. I don't know about you, but it's a rare person who can come through all of that and keep strong.

It royally peeved me off that the others kept riding the "fake" train so blindly all the way to the end (seriously, go back, watch the episodes, and count how many times in the series-in each episode, actually!--someone uses the word "fake" (and only that word) to diss her, over and over again). I never got that...sure, there's editing on the show, but IMHO we weren't shown anything that would lead us to believe that. In fact, quite the opposite. So she talked alot? A lot of people do!

If anyone was fake and pretentious, it was Eric. Slimy as all hell. The scheming between him and Fiona turned my stomach more than once.

reply

I agree. I've always loved this show and I recently re-watched it yet again on hulu.com, and I have to say - Nicole is the real winner. They believed Jamie's story about quitting the business... Yeah, she may have quit for a while, but if you look her up online, it seems she has gone back to her old ways. Some winner! She got to win the money AND continue her porn business.

reply

i think jaimie handled herself as well as nicole and she didnt have the beverly hills background. i agree the scheming was pretty sick, but jaimie wasnt a part of it. i agreed w the decision.

reply

sorry to disagree, Matthew049, but Jamie actually did have a little something to do with the scheming. She was in tight with Eric, Launa, and Noel, and the four often dragged Nicole's name through the mud to the Alts in hopes of dampening her chances of winning. And Jamie also went to the Alts and told them how she believed Nicole was fake... and this was after she became buddy buddy with Nicole to her face.

Jamie was a follower... you could clearly see this when the Alts made the guests vote at elimination. She didn't even pretend to think over who she wanted out. She simply raced over to Noel and tossed her necklace on him. That same ceremony showed what a strong woman Nicole was. She voted for Launa, not for catty reasons, but because that was who the Alts felt should go. And she didn't let the terrible 4 intimidate her. (I just wish she had voted for Eric... seeing him with two necklaces would have been funny.

how funny, i came to check out this old show and found i had posted here. haha. thx for responding btw. i dont remember Jamie being terribly involved in the scheming. i certainly remember fiona and eric in it though. like you said she had a "little" something to do w the scheming. i honestly dont remember how much. i guess it wasnt so much that i felt she didnt deserve to win because of it. i agree she was a follower, probably will be her whole life, but should that disqualify her for winning?

anyway, it'd be fun to see some reruns of the show. every now and then something reminds me of the show and i look up some alts or cast members. it was a weird show, one of the few reality shows i've ever watched, but it was entertaining. i thought they'd have a 2nd season. the ratings must've been pretty lousy.

reply

Lol I came on the message board after remembering the show even existed! As it turns out you can watch the whole season (not including specials or reunions just the basic show) on hulu! I'm gonna rewatch it soon! I'm actually glad it only lasted one season! It gives me something to remember quite fondly without 50 seasons to have made me absolutely sick of it! They sisnt run it into the ground and I think that's why it worked so well!
