Victoria Rafaeli was a houseguest on Big Brother 16 (US).
Victoria was known for playing a quiet game, not engaging in game related moves and not making any definite alliances. Even though she's the most nominated houseguest in Big Brother history, she managed to get off the block twice with the help of her partner when nominated as a pair by winning the Battle of the Block competition and once saved herself by winning a Power of Veto competition. The other occasions she was on the block, she was saved once by her houseguest pick veto player, Hayden_Voss who used his Power Of Veto win to remove her from the block and by the other nominees being voted out.
She placed 3rd when Cody Calafiore infamously decided to take Derrick to the final two instead of her, becoming the final person evicted and the final member of the jury.
•Victoria is the first female to win the Power of Veto in Big Brother 16 (US).
•Victoria, along with fellow houseguest Brittany Martinez, are the first houseguests (and first female houseguests) to win Battle of the Block.
•On Day 66, Nicole Franzel found Victoria on the bathroom floor. She nearly passed out due to tooth pain and dehydration and was given an IV. It was later revealed on the feeds that she had low blood sugar. She is the 3rd person to receive medical attention inside the BB house, behind season 9 contestants Amanda Hansen and Allison Nichols.
•Her infamous eviction by Cody became arguably one of the worst moves in Big Brother history.
•In the live finale interviews, Derrick revealed that many of the jury members most likely would have voted for Victoria to win if she made it to the final two.
•However, if Cody had evicted Derrick, she would only receive votes from Derrick and Frankie.
•Victoria always voted with the majority, while McCrae voted with the minority once.
•Victoria currently holds the record for most nominations in a season with 10 nominations.
•Victoria also holds the record for most consecutive nominations with 6 in a row.

•Victoria is the only female to accomplish this.
•Victoria is one of five houseguests to be nominated during both parts of a double eviction yet still survive, the others being Jameka Cameron, Jerry McDonald, Spencer Clawson and Michelle Meyer.
