Michigander Nicole Franzel Joins 'Big Brother' 16 Cast

21-year-old recent nursing graduate Nicole Franzel from Ubly, Mich. is set to make her debut with the rest of the "Big Brother" 16 cast during the June 25 premiere on CBS.

This small town girl says her weakness will be in dealing with her fellow ladies in the reality TV house. "I don't really seem to get along with girls," she said. On her bio she described herself with the following three adjectives: nerdy, flirty and classy.

She identifies with another Michigander, Dan Gheesling, who won season 10 and was runner up on season 14. Her bio reads, "he is intelligent and cocky which made for good TV."
