What's the deal with Nikki's marriage? It seemed odd to me that her husband wasn't in any of the family and friends clips (especially since he's an actor and would like the airtime). She hasn't mentioned him in any conversations that we've heard, such as when we saw clips illustrating that the celebs were all homesick. Also, when Stuttering John asked her if she would have sex with Tyson, she gave a definite affirmative, although I can't remember the exact words. I would think that at some point with all the Tyson stuff going on she would joke around about her husband killing her or something. Anybody any wiser than me?

I think Nikki got divorced a while back, didn't she? It seems that they split over a year ago.

Yes and her ex husband has tried to make her stop using his last name.

Yes, she got divorced from Ian Ziering (of 90210 fame - what's happened to him, btw?) a while back. I saw Nikki at a restaurant here in LA a while back - she's stunning. She sat at a table next to me and I overheard her telling her date about the end of her marriage.

I didn't know she was married to Ian Ziering!

Wow...you're like a fly on the wall aren't you Beachcomber88! LOL Thanks for the info!

She is pretty in a 'Barbie' kind of way. (She knows it too as she makes comments about being better than Jungle Barbie or something like that.)

She is VERY barbie, but she admits to it, and has a great sense of humor about it. I really like her. I don't think she is quite as tough as she thinks. How hard is it to stay in a box for 10 minutes??? I missed the other challange, so I don't know about that one...

I agree Gina, I really think she could have stayed in that box way longer than she did. That was ridiculous.

I don't get all the Barbie references they make on the show. Is it about her physical appearance? Otherwise I've always thought of Barbie as one tough chick. Seeing as how she's served in all 4 branches of the military and also served as an astronaut, a police officer, a firefighter, and even an Olympic athlete I think Barbie would've had a much easier time roughing it.

I don't have anything against Nikki personally, but I just don't think this show was the right one for her anymore than Boot Camp was. She would've been better suited for one of those dating shows, or maybe even a Fear Factor if she wanted to challenge herself. She just comes across as too helpless in this camping situation, even expecting the production people to come light their fire if it goes out.

'Barbie' is a slang term around where I live. It just refers to someone who is very like Nikki. It really has lost most of its connection to the doll.
