Frankie the Rat

So, I have this love hate relationship going on with Frankie. Pre-season I was prepared to hate him. I don't like a house guest with a huge voting fan base. Makes me cranky. But then the season started and Frankie was kind of fun. All the hgs adored him. He had a slumber party giggle fest with Devin and Caleb! How could I not love him? And how cute was Zankie?  Those two were adorable!

And then Frankie turned into the Broadway version of Andy the Rat from season 15!  Last week Frankie ran himself ragged trying to get Zach evicted. He played messenger boy for everyone, and his singing telegrams were all lies! He popped in on every conversation. I swear that one time he was in four different rooms, on all four cameras at once!

Now Frankie looks about ten years older than his fake age. His eyes are going a little buggy. His sparkle is gone. And, when the first Team America task is revealed, it takes him two seconds to choose Zach as their target. They will spread a rumor that Zach is related to Amanda from season 15. There is a  possibility this might put an even bigger target on Zach than the one he painted on himself last week.  Frankie is still trying to get Zach out. For some reason this makes me really hate Frankie.

And then, in the wee hours of the night, Frankie tells Derrick a secret. He says that he works with a group of Broadway performers that travel to Africa and work with the children there. He tells him that the $5,000 he will get for the Team America task will build a school in Africa. He is going to give all of his Team America money to build schools in Africa! Devin has a daughter, but Frankie has a village! A country!

It turns out that Frankie is telling the truth. He really does travel the world doing good works. He probably will donate his Team America money to build a school. I start to love Frankie again. But then I remember his first school might cost Zach the game. This makes me cranky all over again.

Let's see what kinds of trouble Frankie stirs up today. I will give him one more chance. He has until midnight to prove himself worthy of my love.
