Frankie - TAFY - I'm ready for my close-up, Mr. DeMille

[MrsGryn]

Gotta agree with hefgypsy. He's there for the exposure more than anything else. All he can think about is adding followers to his various mogul-related media sites.

[bagelprincess7]

Oh it is definitely being the star of the show. His ranting is all about America loving Donny and not Frankie. What makes Donny so special? Frankie has a mega humongous pop star sister. And a you tube channel! Of course Frankie should be the most loved!

 

And he likely wants to win because it offers even more time in the spotlight. The winner gets so many more interviews than the others. He wouldn't care about the money. And he really wouldn't care that he took it away from people that actually needed it.

[bookwhore]

He definitely doesn't care about the money. Not for one second during his tirade last night did he seem upset because he might not win the money that comes with fan favorite. He was completely crushed that America obviously hates him. Crushed and pissed. FtFW is definitely there because he wanted this whole thing to turn him into America's darling; instead he's become America's Asshole with major Fame Whoring tendencies.

 

And now that he realizes we don't LOVE! him, he is determined to show us just how much he's okay with being the "villain" and he's just SO used to haters because, well...you know, with fame comes haters. It's the risk of being famous and he is determined to be famous no matter the cost to his poor, poor heart that so desperately wants to be loved and noticed.

 

He's going to be even more insufferable now that he's found a new "role" for himself.

[bullockg76]

I watched him on the live feeds talking about how he doesn't care and haters gonna hate, etc. His face tells an entirely different story. Pitiful. If he wasn't so full of spite and poison, I might feel sorry for him.

[ff174]

The aftermath of this year's season could be the more interesting than the feeds themselves.

 

Every year we await with glee while for likes of Boogturd, Danielle, Aaryn and VGM to realize that they are not well perceived outside the house. And, every year, nothing really develops. That's because people like Aaryn, VGM and the Boogfuck really don't a damn what people think about them. Danielle never wanted the famewhore afterlife, and just stayed away from all media.

 

But Frankie is a different story. He probably knows that he will never lack for money as his sister is richer than God, and seems very loving of her family. Like Donny was there to make friends, Frankie was more interested in becoming more popular. Gaining a million or so followers on whatever social media site would be just as important as winning the money.

 

And, it looks like he will fail miserably.

 

By the way, Frankie, as far as your claim that you love to be hated ....

 

"Methinks the lady doth protest too much" really applies

[Magpie]

If he wasn't so horrible, it would almost be sad. It must kill him that his little sister is more famous than he is.

[Shannon]

I wonder how much love/hate Frankie feels for his baby sister. What is he like 10 years older than her? He must have been the doted on little house monkey for all that time, Grandpa's clone, everybody loved him to pieces, told him everything he did was so wonderful, he had all the attention. then came this rather pretty little girl, she's the not only the new house monkey but she's freaking adorable. Then, in her own words, she's rather freaky, or maybe she got that from Frankie, anyway, she's still getting all the attention because she's also, apparently, talented, and Frankie is such a wannabe. Now she a mega pop star to the very audience that Frankie is trying to hard to get online, she's famous and he's not, NYC chewed him up and spit him out, and then comes BB and he's hated more than a case of the crabs. He can't really hate on his sister, that's where his lifestyle comes from, he can't make any kind of money like she's raking in. I wonder what really runs around in his creepy head. And maybe I'm wrong an he just simply loves his sister to death, but he wouldn't be the first older child having to deal with be overlooked.

[sam0920]

He desperately loves his sister but he wants the same attention more than anything. He thought he could get it on BB. No wonder he isn't successful. Dumbass.

[Disneypro]

. . . and he is determined to be famous no matter the cost to his poor, poor heart that so desperately wants to be loved and noticed.

 

What Francis fails to realize is that there is a difference between being "famous" and being "infamous". He's like the Jim Jones of reality tv and his mouth is the fount from which the poison kool-aid spills.

[TVJunkie]

When I first started watching BB16, I actually liked Frankie. I enjoyed most of his DR's, he seemed funny, and I actually LIKED his eyes. (I know!) Not too much later into the season, I came to realize that what I like about his eyes is that they remind me of one of my favorite film characters. Pinhead. (link since I'm not sure people actually wanna see Pinhead)

I watched his sister's interview on the Today show. (Don't judge. Morbid curiosity got the best of me!). Poor Matt Lauer tried desperately to get an answer out of her that didn't sound like recording or a pre-rehearsed sound bite. It was really pretty bad.

 

I couldn't help notice the similarities between her and Frankie. They're both really into the " I love my family" bit, repeating over and over as if there's a quota or something. When Ari was asked why, she couldn't really explain. (No, she didn't do Frankie the favor of mentioning him. That will burn him when he finds out, I'm sure.). They're both interested in the fans only so far as what it means to them, and they will happily ignore a fan to make sure that they get a better camera angle.

I missed the part with Matt but saw her later in the show. She was sitting with Al and a few of the other talking-heads. They brought her Grandmother out and sat her at the table with them. Arianna was very gracious BUT I just know, going through her head the whole time was, "GET THE F**k OFF THE STAGE OLD LADY! IT'S MY INTERVIEW!!!"

[CripesAlmighty]

I dunno... With Frankie tarnishing her glossy image, gramma may just be what she needs for people to hate her less.

[lurker]

More reason to hate Francis, reported from other sites' recaps -

Frankie to Caleb and Derrick, about Victoria: "I think you should both double team her. I think you guys should take all her virginities in one night." Other sites inferred that Frankie was making jokes about rape, so there is extra hate flowing to him now.

 

I will say one thing for Frankie, once he starts digging a hole, he just does not stop! If you want to rewind on that, it'd be about 5:20ET, 2:20 HT. I'd do it myself but my carriage awaits!

[!Trish!]

It''s camera 3/4 today house time 2:20 to about 2:23 It's sick and of course Christine cackles; Derrick spoke up about how Vic's dad would feel hearing that but much too little - no outrage from any of those listening - Cody, Caleb, Christine, or Derrick.
