Who is Kiele Sanchez? None other than the universally despised character Nikki from Lost. Her character was added at the start of Season Three to flesh out the cast a bit more, along with Rodrigo Santoro (‘300’) playing her boy-toy Paulo. However, the two characters were loathed so much by fans that the producers quickly had them removed from the show. In their soul flashback episode, it is revealed that Nikki and Paulo were con artists, and had stolen several million dollars worth of diamonds before crashing on the island. While everyone else was trying to survive, these two were searching for the diamonds.

Paulo found them, but decided to hide them for fear of being abandoned by Nikki. After she found out that he had them, she unleashed one of Dr. Artz medusa spiders on him, inducing a nasty eight hour paralysis. Unfortunately for her, the pheromones of a dead medusa spider attract all the males in the area, and she was bitten by several as well. When they were discovered by the other survivors, they were presumed dead. In a ceremony at the end of the episode, the two lovers were buried alive with the diamonds that they had fought for so long over.

Frankly, I do not know why she was so despised. At the very least, she was nice to look at. Take a gander for yourself.
