Fangirl Friday: Frankie J. Grande on Big Brother

By -

I love the show Big Brother (U.S.)! The show is currently in its 16th season this summer. You can read all about the history of the show here. This is a reality show where a group of house guests are secluded from the world for the summer together. The object is to win competitions, make alliances, lie if they have to (and they always have to) to make it to the final two house guests left. The "jury" of evicted house guests will decide which of the two remaining will win $500,000. I love this show SO much that no matter how busy I am, or what’s going on in my life, I WILL find the time to watch the 3 episodes a week that air. I’ve been watching Big Brother since Season 7 when Mike “Boogie” Malin won. If you know the show, he and his bff on the show, Will Kirby (Season 2 winner) are one of the all-time best at this game. I do enjoy watching every year, but this year, I have to say, the contestants this season are the nicest group of people I’ve ever seen. One in particular has stolen my heart. Read on to see why Frankie J. Grande is my favorite BB contestant ever!



F lamboyant! Frankie is gay and proud, which is totally fine by me! He isn’t what you may think of when I say that he is a flamboyant gay man though. His mannerisms are so one-of-a-kind; it takes about 2 minutes of watching him to see that. He's funny, caring, a huge show-off, but also one of the boys with the straight guys in the house. He also loves to change his hair color, which is usually blonde with long, pink hair on top. I did say he’s flamboyant, haha.
R ipped! Frankie is in excellent shape and gorgeous. He clearly takes pride in how he looks by working out a lot. 

 A merica’s Choice! America voted on who would be the 3 players to carry out special secret tasks to earn extra money. Frankie, Derrick, and Donny were chosen. Clearly, the viewers adore him too.

 N aughty! Oh, man. He is a naughty boy. He's very open and more than happy to introduce gay sexuality to the straight houseguests. NSFW, but no nudity: An oral example of naughtiness; aka. what these BB contestants talk about when they have nothing else to do. 

 K ick-ass competitor! Let me tell you, this man can win competitions! He's won a lot of competitions so far, however, his greatest accomplishment was when he won a Battle of the Block competition BY HIMSELF! His partner was Caleb. Since the whole house was angry with Frankie, Caleb decided to throw the competition. This would cause both him and Frankie to stay on the block, and the plan was to vote Frankie out. Caleb wasn't subtle about it either. Oh, no. Caleb was pissed, so he sat down, refusing to play in the competition! So, Frankie had to do the competition by himself, and he won!!! It was one of the most exciting moments in BB history. I was literally screaming out loud, "Oh My Gawd!!!" 

 I rristible! The other houseguests flock to him, and they have from the very beginning. What is groundbreaking, in my opinion, is that it’s not just the women that love him, but the men too! The brawny, straight men love him:  "Straight Cody, Caleb, Hayden, and Zach have all gotten touchy with Frankie, because he is ADORABLE!" If I had a dollar for every time he has cuddled with or jumped into the arms of one of the dudes on the show, I’d be a rich woman! This just warms my heart, and it shows me how society is changing.

 E ntertaining! This man is hilarious! Just watch this video. (homoerotic "clowning around" and absolutely hysterical!!) He loves to be the center of attention, but amazingly makes people feel like *they* are cherished and important too! He is also SO dramatic. You can tell that his background is theater, and he has over 200K subscribers on YouTube.
There was this moment that was quite tense...
No post would be complete without a mention of Zankie (Zack and Frankie). This is the closest to a gay showmance that BB has ever had. Zack isn’t even gay!!! So he says. LOL Maybe Frankie’s charisma has made him a little bi-curious? Not that there’s anything wrong with that! Zack has said, in the Diary Room, that he is not gay, but *if he was* Frankie would be his man. Frankie tells the Diary Room all the time, he’s just waiting for Zach to make a move. Actually, I’ve heard Zack say lewd things to Frankie, and they cuddle and touch all the time. I think the most telling of their feelings for each other is the level of hurt they both have felt when they thought that they were betrayed by the other. Who knows where this friendship will go after the show, but I can’t imagine that they won’t stay in touch, at least as friends. Their bond is palpable, and I absolutely adore them together.

 So, are you a Big Brother addict too? Who do you want to win this season? Let's chat BB!

A Tribute to The Fiery Cross

Or How I Learned to Stop, Smell the Pig Shite, and Fall in Love with the Fifth Book in Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander Series A young White Sow dreams of all the food she’ll be eating to grow into her role in this book As the wait for the new Outlander book and television series drags on (and oooooonnnnnnnnaaaarrrggghhh), many fans have been rereading the first seven books in the series. Fascinating online discussions abound as to the motivations of the characters, the nuances of meaning within various scenes, and future possibilities and foreshadowing. Amongst enthusiastic effusions about all things even remotely associated with our beloved series, I’ve seen one recurring subject of complaint. People like to pick on The Fiery Cross . “It’s too slow.” “It doesn’t have enough action.” “Where’s the mystery?” So during my recent reread, I set out to take a few notes about memorable moments. But I gave that up early on. There were far too many. Because the book was like a beautifu...

A SUPER Spoilery Discussion of Feversong by Karen Marie Moning by: Zee the Terrible and Barbara Bones By Olga. It's now been two weeks since we got our hot little hands on Feversong , the final book in the Mac & Barrons part of Karen Marie Moning's Fever series. It's almost all we can talk about in the Saucy Wenches hallways (which is really online, but you get the drift) and we have lots of thoughts and opinions so we aren't putting off our Super Spoilery Recap Extravaganza any longer!  Zee told you about how much she loved it in her Wench review, here , and it will surprise exactly no one that Barb did, too. Loved it to pieces. Thought it was pretty much perfect, exactly the kind of conclusion KMM has been promising us since she gave us Iced , leaving everyone precisely where they need to be. That said, we have lots and lots and LOTS of thoughts. So come with us through the jump where we're dishing all the dirt, in filthy, spoilery detail. We menti...

Dani Mega O'Malley: Superstar

By -

Giddy with anticipation for the release of Karen Marie Moning's Iced , a lot of the Wenches have been thinking about Dani "Mega" O'Malley, the young sidhe -seer we first met in Bloodfever , who is poised to step out of the shadows behind Mac and Rowena and take center stage. Though Moning has recently said the three books she is writing for Dani will continue the story we've been following in the Fever books, the POV will shift to reveal the next chapters through Dani's eyes. With our heads firmly buried in Shadowfever in a frenzied effort to finish our rereads before the new release, we Wenches have been wondering what's in store for Dani. But no one has wanted to stop reading long enough to write a proper tribute to our young heroine as she prepares to take the leap to leading lady. Though we all think she's pretty awesome and deserves a big ticker-tape parade to show our support. So a sneaky Wench tried the stealth approach and asked us...

Review: Annihilation (Book and Movie)

When I read Annihilation last fall, I was intrigued, repulsed, mystified, enchanted, horrified, compelled, absorbed, and ultimately so unable to articulate what had happened that I didn’t attempt a review. But it has never stopped growing on me, new insights twining around in my brain. It’s insidious. Then the movie happened. I. Had. To. Go. I didn’t think anyone could film the book, and I was on Cloud 9 when I saw the abundance of rave critical reviews. It got compared to Apocalypse Now and 2001: A Space Odyssey ! It got called “stunning” and the “Best Sci-Fi Film in Years” that “ranks among great philosophical sci-fi”! And though there were many differences from the book, it sounded almost as batshitcrazybrilliant as the book!! Which means there are now two equally haunting versions of this story for me to wonder WTF happened. I might not have all the answers, but I’ve certainly enjoyed replaying scenes in my mind and pondering the possibilities. And I suspect that’s...
