SuckItUp

Frankie is pooping in his pants.  It is a wonderful thing to see.  Gone is the arrogance and glam.  It's replaced by a realization that he is outflanked and, for now, does not have away out.

Derrick was calling the shots but tried to make it look like others were doing it.  The fly in the ointment was that Frankie won HOH and veto.  Fortunately, Frankie is so arrogant he put off Cody and Caleb.  The "rewind" hurts him more.  It is not time for Derrick to lay back but to plant more seeds, a major one is the Frankie is going to use the money for charity (which Frankie's arrogance see as a plus for his personna) while the others need it to live and eliminate debts. 

I am stunned that Frankie can be so touchy with other HGs without reprimand.  I think he takes advantage of the "game" situation.  Last night, he laid on top of Cody and tried to slip his hand toward Cody's crotch.  Cody simply removed it and gave him a look but Frankie was not verbally called out on it.  It must be nice to have that sort of power in the game.   I hope that he gets double the reciprocation that Christine received by the audience.  Frankie it a leech that deserves nothing.  Ariana's army may call me a hater but it is nothing more than he worked for and earned.  If there was a poll to see if America wants Frankie evicted tonight, there would an "overwhelming" yes.

Sorry to all those Celeb fans, but Beast Mode is trademarked by an NFL player who takes a dim view of poaching.

If he wins, I think Frankie will use the money for charity since it would feed his ego (and likely be needed for damage control once he confronts the fact that America think he is an ass).  The only questions I have is how much of the prize money he donates and the percentage that the charity skims for administrative costs.  If he give a dime to his self indulgent  "bringing Broadway to Africa" charity, I will puke. That said, I rather have the cash go to Derrick as probably the most responsible and level headed person left.

I think that it is appalling that BB is not giving Frankie enough time to reflect on his genius and that the other house guests should be required to genuflect when they come into his presence.  In fact, Wednesday should be declared "Frankie Grande Day" and BB should fly in his friends and family (including the incomparable Ariana) to celebrate his all encompassing dominance.  The HOH room shall hence forth be known as the "Grande Suite".   Julie will come out with a crown, stand behind Frankie and say "Rewind".  The crowd will break into a loud cheer, Frankie will give his best stunned look, publicly accept his fate.  In the house, a deflated Frankie blames this turn of events on homophobia (or Donny) and cook fish.

Then a miracle occurs.  Victoria wins HOH puts up Frankie and Derrick.  Derrick wins the veto competition and puts up Caleb.  Frankie is then voted out, gushes at Julie in the post eviction interview, and disappears forever in the bowels of NYC.

Frankie wants Victoria out.  Make it so sheep.

Not as stupid as we think he is, at least not when it comes to playing BB.

He is not playing BB, Frankie is playing him.   Frankie is promising him a ton of stuff, a trip to Germany, Africa, etc.  A duet with his sister.  The list goes on.  Caleb sucks it up because he thinks (I am being generous here) that he will emerge from BB as a tremendous star and Frankie can help him.  Someone needs to give him a dose of reality.  One tactic would be to tell Caleb that associating with Frankie will hurt rather than help his journey to stardom and that Frankie views him as a dumb cowboy who will not fit in Frankieland.

Derrick has tough job.  Frankie is his major competition but he conspired to keep him.  Caleb and Cody came up with a plan to backdoor Frankie and Derrick convinced them to knock off Nicole instead.  Stupidest move of the game. 

There are a lot of singers that do not have a great voice and very little real talent. It is more about marketability than talent. With voice synthesizers, lighting, choreographers and camera angles, the handlers can make almost anybody a star.  As long as she can generate buzz, she will be in the spot light. Over the last month, she has been every where. It is obvious that she has a good marketing team. If they can keep her in the spotlight for a year, her celebrity will have the momentum to take on it's on life. All she needs is a gimmick. It wasn't that long ago, Miley Cyrus went from teeny bopper star to tongue wagging twerking superstar. Look at her now.   

Ariana does have a gimmick, those stupid cat ears.  Marketing teams need something to market.  It is easy to market to teenagers but they have a short attention span and are constantly looking for the next thing.  When her star wanes, I am not looking forward to her Maxim photo shoot or sex tape.

P.S. Miley had an edge.  Her achy, breaky Dad who knows a lot about flashing in the pan.

I'm just pissed that they gave them a mission.   CBS must be hard up for story lines.  A better twist would be to give Caleb, Cody and Victoria a mission behind Derrick and Frankie's back.  Imagine the fun in telling Frankie there was a rat.  He would not get off of the kitchen table.

Let's face it, Jeff and Jordan sold the souls to CBS.

Has anyone else noticed that Frankie cranks up the flamboyant gay voltage on high whenever footage is taken for a primetime broadcast? 

Miley is an exception.  How many past Disney and Nickelodeon teen stars are still around?  Now, Ariana has the Frankie albatross around her neck.

Nicole was doomed both times she was evicted because of the pack mentality of the Detonators.  Her analysis of what was going on in the house was usually spot on.  She was frustrated more than anything else and will be a force to be reckoned with on the jury.

Bad actress + run-of-the-mill voice with good range but no heart = short shelf life. 

Give me Norah Jones any day.

Donny.  I do not believe in rewarding psychotics.

Cody had a role model in his Dad who seemed almost proud of his son's behavior.  Cody's Dad is a schmuck who decided it was cool to talk to his son inside his parked luxury car.  Cody has absolutely no excuse since it was apparently unnecessary for his "game" (if he had one).  Just an arrogant frat boy acting as an arrogant frat boy.  I can make a better excuse for Christine.  She wanted to be part of the Detonators who dominated the game.  Her choices for ingratiating herself was a flamboyant gay, a steroid muddled cowboy, a straitlaced family man who had a sacrificial lamb, a psychotic loose wire or frat boy Cody.  She chose Cody and fed his ego. It did not work.

Her smart move would be to flip sides and act as a spy.

Derrick acted OK with Victoria.  He is a happily married man playing BB with an emotionally frail younger woman who has a crush on him.  He can't tell her to leave him alone because of the game and it would emotionally crush her if he did.  She became his willing pawn to please him.  Notice how she often ran to Derrick rather than he running to her.

Caleb is too dumb to know he is boring.  He expects women to be attracted to him as flies are to feces (not a bad analogy if I do say so myself).

Just for giggles, I went to see what they were saying about Frankie on some LGBT sites (Queer Nation, Act up, etc).  Apparently, he is not well liked and some think his actions hurt the movement.  Frankie left himself in the shadow of his over-rated sister.

Who cares?  There is NO ONE left in the house to root for.  The "Golden" button just gives you (I just read the non-CBS forums) another week of viewing the same group of idiots who think America loves them and wants to shower them with gifts.  If I had to pick a winner, it would be Victoria.  Clueless and annoying but not malicious.  Expect ratings to tank.

I'm tired of watching and listening to these idiots. BB is a good concept gone bad. Wake me up when Survivor starts.  I want to hear John Rocker's first racist/homophobic/steroid fueled rage.

I must have spaced out when Julie was describing the button twist, and i don't see it described on the front page in the live show recap.....  What are the details?

What I wish would happen is that all the jury members would be teleported to the house and all the house members would be teleported to some swamp where they can manipulate and lie to each other.  That would make the button truly "Golden" and a blessing to all.

Frankie is dangerous and unpredictable.  It was Derrick's error in stopping Cody and Caleb from dumping him.  It may have cost him 500K.  That said, I think that Frankie has a snowball's chance in Hell of winning the jury's vote.  He was an annoyance the dimwits put up with throughout the season for his vote in evictions.  If he was smart, Derrick would have crippled the stronger players when he had the chance. Instead, he went after Nicole (while saying he was trying to save her just to get her jury vote)
