Nicole Franzel & Victor Arroyo’s New House Comes With Lots of Land
When Nicole Franzel joined the “Big Brother” cast in 2014, she had just graduated from college with a degree in nursing, according to her “Big Brother” 16 bio. That plan was waylaid in the best of ways by the “Big Brother” career she’d dreamed of since she was 8-years-old. In her bio she also mentioned that she’d like to have a showmance, so the fact that she ended up with another “Big Brother” houseguest is perfect.
Nicole and Victor bought a house on 10 acres in Michigan. Her excitement is infectious in her Instagram post. She wrote, “IT’S OFFICIAL 🏡🥰 we just bought the house on the hill on 10 acres with the ginormous pond. I don’t normally toot my own horn, but man, I’m pretty stinkin’ proud. ☺️”
She added, “I finally found something to spend my moldy BB money on 😂, & we think it’s the PERFECT choice. We can’t wait to raise a family here. It really has endless possibilities with the large yard too 👩🏼🌾🌾. AND WE CAN’T WAIT TO SHOW YOU MORE!! Wait until you see the back side of the house, ITS MY FAVORITE 😍! We aren’t selling our current home until spring so we can move at a good pace! Thankfully! 😅”
She went on to write that she was grateful to the previous owners of the house for choosing their bid to buy it. She added that the house is move-in ready and she plans on adding color to the walls and furnishing it and sharing all of it on Instagram.

No one thinks it can happen to their toddler but it does happen. PS it’s beautiful!” Another commenter added, “absolutely…. the pond gives me anxiety. We have a pond, I drained it after I had kids.😢”
Others were quick to make sure she was didn’t share her actual address in the video.

We have a bunch of eyes that watch out for each other here in our little town, but I know most small towns are not as lucky so I do get what you’re saying.”
