Nakomis, who devised the brilliant Six-Finger Plan and earned a reputation as one of the shrewdest players ever, has maintained that air of mystery that served her so well during her stay in the BIG BROTHER 5 house. After leaving the house, she returned to her friends and family in Texas, who welcomed her with open arms. Coming home was "awesome," she recalls. "I couldn't have asked for more."

Nakomis still lives in San Antonio, Texas, and has returned to her job as hostess at the Hard Rock Café. When she's not working, she likes to hang out with friends, going for coffee or going to bars, simply enjoying her freedom.

"I get noticed all the time," Nakomis replies when asked how being on BIG BROTHER has changed her life, "but it's cool." As we know from her HouseGuest days, Nakomis likes to keep her cards pretty close to her chest, but she does keep in touch with Karen, and looks forward to blogging for Revenge of the HouseGuests. One thing she has learned from her own newfound celebrity status: "to respect the space that people might want."
