Two of the most-nominated houseguests ever on Big Brother were on last season. Here are the six players who have been nominated seven times or more.
Victoria Rafaeli, Big Brother 16 (10)
No one on Big Brother has been nominated for eviction more times in one season than Victoria Rafaeli from Big Brother 16 with 10. Victoria had 0 HoH wins and one veto win (Week 4) and was nominated more times (10) than anyone in the US show’s history (Week 1, Week 4, Week 5, Week 6, Week 10, Day 77, Week 11, Week 12, Day 88, Day 97).
But as much of a pawn as she was, the then 22-year-old Victoria did finish in third place and was nominated nine times without receiving a vote to evict. The 10th time Victoria was nominated, she did receive a vote to evict—from Cody Calafiore in one of the worst moves in Big Brother history—and became the last Jury member on Finale Night the season Derrick Levasseur played the house and won with ally Cody finishing as the runner-up.
Spencer Clawson held the record just one season before Victoria broke it.
Spencer Clawson, Big Brother 15 (9)
Spencer Clawson holds the male record for the most number of Nominations in a single Big Brother season with 9. Considered the ultimate pawn, the house nominated Spencer all the way down to the Final 3 where eventual winner Andy Herren would deliver the lone vote to evict him and make him the last member of the Jury and take Gina-Marie Zimmerman to the end.
Spencer, a railroad conductor from Conway, Arkansas, won one HoH (Week 11), one Veto (Week 5) and was nominated those 9 times (Week 3, Week 5, Week 6, Day 49, Week 7, Week 8, Week 10, Day 83, Week 12). Spencer was in the house for 90 days and won $10,000 and a trip to the Bahamas.
Felicia Cannon, Big Brother 25 (8)
A 63-year-old real estate agent from Kennesaw, Georgia, Felicia Cannon was a quick ally with mother-and-son duo Cirie and Jared Fields, and Felicia ended up finishing in fourth place and made it all the way to Day 96 in the season won by Jag Bains.
In the end, Felicia only had two eviction votes for her and she was voted out by Jag.
Felicia, who kept food stashed in her robe pockets, won one HoH (Week 3) and no Veto wins and was nominated for eviction an amazing 8 times (Week 1, Week 6, Week 9, Week 10, Week 11, Day 86, Week 13, Week 14). Felicia would be a natural choice for a potential Big Brother 30: All-Stars season.
Donny Thompson, Big Brother 16 (7)
A 42-year-old school groundskeeper from Albemarle, North Carolina, when he played Big Brother 16, affable Donny Thompson, like Felicia, would be a great choice for an All-Star season. Donny finished in eighth place (Day 70) and was America’s Fan Favorite (5.2 million votes) and won $25,000.
On BB16, Donny captured one HoH, two Battles of the Block, and was nominated for eviction seven times (Week 1, Week 3, Week 4, Day 49, Week 7, Week 8, Week 9), the second-most ever for a male houseguest behind fellow Southern boy Spencer.
Angela Murray, Big Brother 26 (7)
She never really wanted to be the perpetual pawn, but Angela Murray somehow survived until 6th place after being nominated for eviction 7 times (Week 2, Week 3, Week 6, Week 7, Week 8, Week 10, Day 73) on Big Brother 26. That was 73 days in the house for someone who looked like they could be out in the first two or three weeks.
Fifty-year-old Angela won two HoH’s (Week 1, Week 4) and one Veto (Week 9) with no Arena wins and made the Jury where the Syracuse, Utah resident and the other unanimously voted for Chelsie Baham to be the season’s winner.
Kimo Apaka, Big Brother 26 (7)
Another Big Brother 26 houseguest who was nominated 7 times was Kimo Apaka, a 35-year-old mattress sales rep from Hilo, Hawai’i. Kimo had just no HoH wins, just one Veto win (Day 73), and one Arena win (Week 1).
But like Angela, Kimo was put up on the block 7 times (Week 1, Week 7, Week 8, Week 9, Week 10, Day 73, Week 11). He would finish in 5th place (Day 80), and make the Jury. He was in as many Alliances (7) as times he was nominated, including Sixth Avenue, The Andersons, The Collective, and The Visionaries. You can see why he lost.
