Nicole Franzel allegedly hid away from Da'Vonne Rogers out of fear, spending a total of five hours in the Diary Room on Big Brother 22: All-Stars. Most longtime Big Brother fans are aware of the rollercoaster history that exists between Nicole and Da'Vonne. While Nicole first competed on BB16 and Da'Vonne started out on BB17, they were both cast as returning players on BB18. After the initial "veteran houseguest" alliance imploded, Da'Vonne and Nicole kept working together... at least until Nicole turned against Da'Vonne and allowed her to just get evicted. Alas, Da'Vonne still voted for Nicole to win BB18 in the end.
In 2020, Da'Vonne Rogers and Nicole Franzel were cast on Big Brother 22, and Da'Vonne went on to win America's Favorite Houseguest during the grand finale. While on the show, Nicole vowed that she'd have Da'Vonne's back at all costs, explaining how grateful she was for Da's jury vote in her favor on BB18. But when the time came for Nicole to pick between sticking to the Committee or going to bat for Da'Vonne, she sided with the dominant alliance. However, the betrayal did hurt Da'Vonne way more this time around, as Nicole adamantly denied flipping the vote on Ian Terry and fiercely placed the target on David Alexander, which made Da'Vonne turn against him.
After two failed attempts at building a Big Brother alliance that works, it is understandable that Da'Vonne Rogers no longer trusts Nicole Franzel in the game. With that said, there were plenty of events that the Big Brother: All-Stars live feed viewers apparently never watched. According to a recent video from Da'Vonne (seen below), she heard one of the wall yellers during BB22 clearly communicate that Nicole had flipped the vote instead of David. This set a chain of varied reactions inside the house, including anger from David, regret from Da'Vonne, and shame from Nicole. But as Da'Vonne would tell it, it seems like Nicole literally hid away from Da'Vonne out of fear. As the story goes, Nicole allegedly spent a total of five hours hiding in the Diary Room, which meant that she was nowhere to be found when Da'Vonne went looking for her to talk.
Da'Vonne said in the video that this entire situation - and Nicole's fearful hiding - wasn't shown on the BB22 live feeds because the live-stream was always cut off whenever there was a new wall yeller trying to disrupt the game. This is the standard procedure for producers to not give any air to whatever information was shared by a person who was just walking by outside of the house.
It took a long time, but Da'Vonne's first two-hour recap of Big Brother 22 was worth it. The America's Favorite Houseguest winner always delivers!
