Ok. I feel a little better now that I got that out of the way.
I am so confused, and frustrated, and a wee bit cranky. Typical BB feed watcher cocktail of emotions. Yesterday there were a few key game convos between Frankie, Derrick, and Cody in assorted combinations. The result of these talks is that Zach will most likely be going home on Thursday. That's no fun! And it's making me cranky!!!
Frankie and Derrick are all settled on a plan to blindside Zach, working together as the Detonators, kiss-kiss all better now. But something about Frankie is bugging me. I can't quite put my finger on it. The first talk between Frankie and Derrick was so odd. Frankie was taking deep breaths, making his duck-lip I'm-so-worried face, and saying "hmmmm" while he talked to Derrick.
Derrick came out of that talk thinking he had charmed Frankie into voting out Zach. And most people watching that convo probably agree. Derrick is a master at leading people to the water and letting them think it's their idea to drink. But I don't trust Frankie. Not one little bit.
I think Frankie has something wicked up his sleeve. I suspect that he wanted Zach out all along, and will take credit for this turn of events when he gets into the diary room. Or he plans to use the votes against Zach to prove to Caleb that they, Frankie and Caleb, are the only ones loyal to the alliance. Or he has some other twisted rat-fink Frankie plan in mind.
Frankie just seemed so obvious with his discomfort during that first convo with Derrick. Too obvious. Like he was acting, not reacting. And Derrick responded to Frankie's obvious distress cues. I could be reading more into it than is really there. I do that a lot in BB. But then, we see Frankie pull the same moves on Cody when he talks to him about Zach. Same duck-lips, same sighs, same uncomfortable posturing.
Derrick has a subtle way of talking people onto his side of any issue. His remark that he would never, ever, nom Frankie because of the shame it would bring him from Team America was sheer brilliance. As he elaborated on this, he was at once reaffirming his loyalty, and reminding Frankie that he would be shamed if he ever nommed Derrick. And he made it all sound completely nonthreatening. That is Derrick's true gift. Almost anyone else speaking those same words would have made it sound like a threat.
Anyone but Frankie. Frankie and Derrick have similar people skills, different delivery. You could argue that they are playing a similar game. Using the same skills, different approach, we see Frankie as the rat, and Derrick as the all around good guy, good game player. And I'm just not sure who came out on top in that first convo, or who the end result favors the most.
Meanwhile where is Zach? I want him to stay, and that is Zach's number one crazy ass game skill. He makes us hate him so much that we love him. Well, not everybody loves him. But I need more of Zach's crazy-monkey-fun! Where the hell is he while his fate is being decided by Frankie and Derrick?
I don't want this to be an easy out blindside. I want chaos! I demand a house in turmoil! Sign me up for the revolution! Zach better wake up and get to working on his Most-Best-Worst-Crazy-BB-Plan-To-Save-His-Ass-Ever!!!
Have a Dorky Day!!
