'''Alli D.''' or '''Alli Danziger''' is the actress that plays [[Nikki Bower]], the reporter that follows [[Bree]] and [[Daniel]]. On January 25, popular blogger [[Milowent]] exposed her identity in a blogpost.

Danziger is an L.A. based actress, represented by Creative Management Entertainment Group. She has appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the Best Damn Sports Show and several short films. As a child, she was in the musical Newsies, perhaps sparking her interest in reporting. She graduated from the Dramatic Arts and Directing Program from the University of California Santa Barbara.

The character of Nikki Bower appears to be adapted from actual hosting that Alli has done for several internet shows. A montage of her hosting has been posted to the YouTube account AlliDanzigerReport[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRvPrT_zmdY&eurl=]. "Nikki B." appears to be modeled loosely after her actual nickname "Alli D."

==The Hunt for Nikki B.==

Ever since Nikki Bower posted her first video on Nov. 1, fans speculated on her relationship to [[lonelygirl15 (production)]]. Although Nikki appeared to be just another fan, she seemed to have inside information. She was able to find numerous locations at which lonelygirl15 episodes were shot. She produced a box with the symbol of the [[Watcher]]s several weeks before [[Gemma]] identified the same symbol in the video [[A Watcher]]. Nikki claimed she got some of her information from anonymous tips.

Many assumed that Nikki Bower was a fan who was in frequent e-mail contact with [[the Creators]] of lonelygirl15, and thus they occasionally tipped her with locations and information. In fact, the actress behind Nikki Bower appears to be a good friend of the Creators. It is unknown whether or not she is a canon character, or simply a friend of the Creators making a video, but it is clear that her friendship granted her access that average fans do not have.

The story of Nikki Bower began to unravel when a photo surfaced of Nikki Bower at [[Greg Goodfried]] and [[Amanda Goodfried]]'s wedding. By scouring through public [[MySpace]] profiles, fans uncovered pictures of the Nikki Bower actress in the MySpace profile of several friends of The Creators, eventually leading to the private profile of Alli D.

Fans discovered the name of several of Alli D.'s friends on MySpace and searched to see if any of them had ever worked with an Alli D. The name Alli Danziger was discovered and subsequent google searches uncovered her profile at the Creative Management Entertainment Group, along with pictures and video unmistakeably identifying her as the actress behind Nikki Bower.
