Vanessa
Vanessa Nimmo, born on August 12, 1977, is a 26 year old former business studies student from Leeds. She stated that she can be a flirt, and likes to look good. She feels that people are often jealous of her, mainly her female friends. She said that she is nice, but doesn't let people walk all over her. She feels that she is strong willed, and isn't scared of confrontation. She has a Slipknot tattoo on her arm, and enjoys heavy metal music. During the audition process, she met Housemate Victor and felt he was "overbearing." She was one of the original twelve Housemates to enter the house on Day 1. She clashed with Housemate Nadia, with Vanessa feeling she was immature; Nadia nominated Vanessa both weeks that she was eligible to do so. Vanessa also did not get along well with Housemate Michelle, with Vanessa feeling that she was seen as a threat to Michelle and Stuart's relationship. Marco took a disliking to Vanessa, as he felt she had a "high opinion" of herself. She had a close friendship with Housemate Daniel, and had a friendly and flirtatious relationship with Jason. Despite this, she stated she did not want to find romance in the house, and simply enjoyed flirting. She was also close with Shell while in the house. On Day 18, Vanessa was nominated for eviction, having received five nominations from her fellow Housemates. Due to Emma's ejection from the house on Day 23, the eviction was postponed for one week; Daniel and Vanessa remained the two nominees this week. Vanessa received her first official strike on Day 21, following numerous arguments and physical violence amongst the group. On Day 29, it was revealed that Vanessa had been evicted from the house, receiving 86% of the public vote. This made it the highest percentage of eviction votes received by a Housemate since Big Brother 2, when Stuart received the same amount. This makes her the first official evicted Housemate of the season. She received a mixed to negative reception from the audience following her eviction. She came in 11th place.

Famous quotes containing the word vanessa:
“Vanessa wanted to be a ballerina. Dad had such hopes for her.... Corin was the academically brilliant one, and a fencer of Olympic standard. Everything was expected of them, and they fulfilled all expectations. But I was the one of whom nothing was expected. I remember a game the three of us played. Vanessa was the President of the United States, Corin was the British Prime Minister—and I was the royal dog.”
—Lynn Redgrave (b. 1943)
