His interview clips make him seem more attractive than those horrible promotional pictures.

 

He could be fun......or totally irritating to watch.

I wonder how long it will take him to mention his sister? Or, if he will keep that secret to himself.

[Tsylyst]

He's saying in the People magazine article I linked to in the Pre-Show thread that his strategy is depends on if he gets recognized, so I'm guessing he's not going to want to mention it.

[Minxy]

He's not as annoying as I expected. He's not going to be able to keep his sister a secret though. I bet he tells by the end of the first week.

[Qwerky]

Okay, I'll bite

 

Who is his sister and whats the story that goes with her?

[GoobieDebi]

Ariana Grande was on a couple Nickolodeon shows and has a decent career as a pop singer. She's quite popular with tweens: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariana_Grande

 

I'll either really like Frankie or he's going to annoy me.

 

His YouTube page https://www.youtube.com/user/FrankieJGrande has the top 10 things you'd want to know about him.

 

One, he focused on entomology in college, so he knows his insects. Maybe he can be the one that finally gets rid of the ants in the kitchen.

Ariana is blowing up right now as a legit pop singer.

My 14-year-old daughter just went bananas about him being in the house (I'll spare you the exclamation points and caps). Apparently he has a huge instagram following and is "hilarious." She's skipping around the house now. For that, screw you, Frankie!

Great, so all the "Team America"/America's Vote stuff will be skewed to the person that already has a huge fan base and a celebrity sister to call on her own followers for added rabid support.

 

Elissa anyone?

[lurker]

His sister has 15.9 million twitter followers.

[LAnimeMaster]

America has been biased since forever, and it doesn't take much for America to be skewed. I've learned to give up on America and no longer care about that stuff. It seems like America's favorite is almost certainly doomed not to win anyways.

He was in the Broadway show 'Mamma Mia'. That impressed me a bit more than his youtube fame.

Isn't all the voting done via online by those with subscriptions to the live feeds? Do I dare hold out hope that for once, it'll be the viewing public who'll be shocked by results rather than us feedsters? I was excited by that being possible until now.

[Shannon]

That was my understanding when I got the feeds, they said it was one of the perks, to be the ones who get to vote. I'll be pissed if every teenybopper is out there voting too. At least people with feeds are probably watching said feeds and while they may not agree with me they won't be so swayed by TV editing!

 

He better be funny, or something. I swear if the only gay men I knew about were from BB I'd hate them all. They must work hard to find awful gay men because in my real life and on entertainment type TV I flove many many many of them. And that brings me to Ross Mathews (whom I love but not so much his Hello Ross show) I wish he was doing that little show he had one season where he gave his views of each episode. I enjoyed that.
