99 to Beat contestant Nikki Kofkin stops by the Jack Vita Show to chat about her elimination from FOX's new hit show. On last week's episode, Nikki became the 61st person eliminated, finishing in 40th place. Nikki is a high school classmate of Jack's; she and Jack both graduated from New Trier Township High School (Winnetka, Illinois) in 2012.

Nikki is a real estate broker who currently resides in Chicago. Earlier this year, she took a shot, and bet on herself. In May, she traveled with her best friend Hadieh Tazangi to the UK to compete on 99 to Beat, FOX's new competitive game show. Little did she know that she would be competing against Survivor winners Danni Boatwright and Sandra Diaz-Twine, or three-time Challenge champion Cara Maria Sorbello.

Nikki gives Jack a peak behind the curtain, detailing how 99 to Beat was filmed, and answering common questions she has received throughout this experience. Nikki explains how many challenges were filmed in each day, how long it took for challenges to film, and where the contestants' outfits came from. Did the contestants have multiple copies of the same outfit? Or were they wearing the same clothes every single day? How long were they in the UK, and how did they spend the downtime they received when they were not filming? Did the contestants go home immediately after elimination, or did they stay in the UK longer? Nikki shares some never-before-told stories pertaining to 99 to Beat, that you can only find on the Jack Vita Show!

Later, Jack and Nikki chat a little bit about their high school, New Trier Township High School, which inspired the 2004 hit comedy Mean Girls. They talk about what it was like to grow up on the North Shore of Chicago, right on Lake Michigan. Nikki reflects on her experience on TV and discusses what she learned from it, and what she found out about herself. All this, and so much more, only on the Jack Vita Show!
