Jessica Furtado Nickson (née Graf; born December 11, 1990) is an American reality television personality, actress, and model.
After living in New York City for two years, they settled in Cranston, Rhode Island, where Graf and her brother Christopher were raised.
In week 2, Graf was named as a recipient of the Ve-toad curse after Abbott accepted a temptation offer voted by America, meaning she was required to wear a toad costume and jump between lily pads drawn on the floor of the house.
Graf purposely lost the same Temptation Competition to automatically become the third nominee, providing her with a chance to win the Power of Veto later in the week, saving her from eviction.
Throughout Graf's stint on Big Brother 19, she had many feuds with the other contestants, most notably Abrahamian, Abbott, Martinez, Walton and Ow.
The duo quickly bonded with fellow competitors Kristi Leskinen and Jen Hudak, and Alex Rossi and Conor Daly.
The pair conflicted with Lucas Bocanegra and Brittany Austin and considered targeting them in the 6th leg but when they discovered that they were second-to-last, decided to U-Turn Trevor Wadleigh and Chris Marchant, the only team behind them, resulting in the latter's elimination.
In the 8th leg, Lucas and Brittany chose to U-Turn Cody and Jessica, but they were able to still make it to the Pit Stop before Eric and Daniel Guiffreda, narrowly avoiding elimination.
