ZINNGG!

Actually, I'm curious about this now. Sounds like it might be some decent TV, but why would Frankie take this raid personally? Because he didn't win any money?

"Oh guys, I've been winning money all season but you don't know that so I'll put on an act to gain sympathy because I'm a shoe in for the block. Yes, that will save me. Guys, why are you being so mean to me? I just want to build homes for the poor in Africa. You're being so mean guys."

Wait....strike that. Frankie wouldn't know the difference between your and You're. I'm giving him too much credit. ZING!!!!

1:35 PM Derr and Frankie talking in WC. Apparently DR has told them that if they are in the F2 together the winner will get a $50K bonusprize ($550K total) due to Team America.

Saw this on Jokers...I'm kind of hoping it isn't legit. I mean I wouldn't be surprised but damn.

What makes you think it's not legit? It's on the Jokers front page. You can probably flashback to the timestamp and see the conversation as well.

I seriously hope CBS dares to drop $50,000 money bags in the laps of 5 of the 9 jury members as well.

Eh, I've stopped watching live feeds. So they're basically straight up paying Derrick to keep Frankie in the game at this point.

I would hope not.

Secure a really good chance at $500k by getting rid of Frankie, or....

Play for a chance at maybe getting $550k by keeping Frankie and hope he doesn't beat you in jury votes.

I say take the all but guaranteed $500k and not even give Frankie the opportunity to sniff at that $500k and much less $550k.

Derrick knows Frankie would never win against him in f2. Another 50k is just icing on his cake at this point.

If Frankie stays, Derrick's chance of going f2 drops in the first place. Frankie isn't playing for $50k (2nd place), no guarantee he takes Derrick to the finals with him.

Derrick's most assured path to $500k is getting Frankie out of the house. It's not worth going all or nothing for a potential extra $50k.
That bet is why most gamblers go home broke, they just don't know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. Derrick needs to stay focused on the $500k and then walk away. Team America already put an additional $20k n his pocket, no need to get greedy and have that be all you leave with.

It's a trap.

Its a trap that production really wants Derrick to fall for.

What. The. Fuck.

Does production not realize that a lot of people don't like Frankie, and not in a "love to hate" kind of way?
Click to expand...

They do. But the general tv show story has been mostly all about Frankie and putting him in as positive a light as they could to help move him along to victory. When the live feed crowds started reporting things he was doing and saying and such and others found out, people turned on him. Production has been helping keep him there for a while. They finally realized that at this point no one likes him anymore so they started showing some of the more negative things he says/does recently, but it honestly feels like they will do anything to help keep him in there. I know they told Caleb at one point when he was seriously considering putting Frankie up that he and Frankie would be the best final two ever. Now this. Its crap.

Production is the House, Derrick is that cautious gambler with a white hot hand that is winning far too much money and not spending any, while Frankie is that self centered celeb that spends big, wins big and then spends even bigger.

The house is trying to sweeten the pot to get him to take more risk and hopefully leave with nothing. Trying to comp his room and meals, so he stays a while longer and gambles harder.

Thing is, if conspiracy theories are to be believed, CBS is probably making more money by having Frankie in the house than they would spending to keep him there, so even if they weren't actively trying to "trick" Derrick into losing on what seems to be an almost sure bet, they are certainly doing all they can to keep the "celeb" on the floor gambling in their ratings casino.

Then entire thing stinks like AG fat crotch lips. It's really disgusting what the show has become. That 50k was to save Frankie. I think I can honestly say I'm done with this show forever.

Actually from what I've read it appears that to get the extra $50k you only need to win, you don't need to bring the other TA member with you.

But the quote said that if the 2 remaining members of Team America were the final 2, the winner would receive an extra $50k making for a total of $550k to the winner.

which would mean that Derrick and Frankie would have to be the final 2. whoever won out of the 2 would get the extra cash.

But I didn't see the original quote, just what was posted in this thread.
Is there a link to the source? time stamp? youtube'd clip?

D: Who do you think we have a better chance of beating in the end though?
F: Sitting next to them?
D: Yes
F: Cody. Less comp wins and he's played NO game other than flirting.
D: True true true, and basically you just have to roll the dice that if by chance he wins the final HOH and takes one of us that the jury doesn't love him as much as we think they do.
F: No. We've outplayed him.
D: yeah, if that's what they go off of. If they go bitter, we're F'd anyway.
F: No, everything you've done in this game has been noted. If it's you sitting there with Cody, I'll tell them. (ed Derrick making sure he has the win over Cody now)
D: Don't even talk like that, we're gonna there, we're gonna get there together (they pound fists). Cuz I would hate to be in the jury and you sitting there and not win, cuz then the 50k goes in the air and nobody gets it.
(ed. that last remark dispels rumor that they need to be there together to get the bonus, ONE of them just needs to win)
F: America wants us to go together
D: They want us to win the money, they want us to go together. It's evident.
D: I thought it was evident last week with the mission. Now go win BB and one of you can get an extra $50k - good job. What else could we ask for?
F: Wow
D: Shocking, unbelievable.
F: If we are sitting there next to each other at the end, I'll split it with you if I win it.
D: Ok, nuff said (doesn't not return the statement)
F: $100k second place then
D: agreed
F: Cuz if we are, we are the only reason we are sitting there. If you and I are sitting next to each other, then WE are the reason we are sitting there.
D: I know, I know. We can control our own fate.
F: I think that is 100% the only reason we would be sitting there together.
D: I know, and we guarantee that one of us is going to win 575 f'n thousand dollars. We're gonna do it, I feel it here (points to heart)
F: That's why I'm saying that if I win the $550k, I will walk away with the $500 and let you walk away with $100k
D: Down
F: cuz that's... it's fair.
D: and I will gladly accept (laughs)
F: I think that's how the card should have been written honestly.

The thing about Derrick is that he's usually lying in his convos. He had no intention of taking Frankie with him before but who knows if this has changed anything.

Production cleared it up. Apparently Derrick just made the comment that if they both made it to the final 2 then somebody would be guaranteed $550k.

And I believe Cody just won the veto, so it's looking good.

I hear people say that Caleb was ahead in the shovel walking one the first time but lost his seeds with only a few left.

I'm just glad he's going and I don't even care if it's a unanimous house thing that they all want him gone.

I know right, how is that possible? I thought production masterminded these competitions to Frankies strengths so he can win everything smh

Reading the Frankie conspiracies a couple pages back was hilarious guys.

Seeing how Frank won America's Grodner's Choice in BB14 despite being hated by most of the show's viewers I don't see why Donny can't win for BB16.
Heck, even Joey can win. She chucks a mean plastic bottle.

Frank was hated? How can you hate Sycho Sid's kid?

This was the best thing that Joey has ever done.

The race is between Frankie and Zach. Zach's fanbase is absolutely crazy.

Tumblr must be super divided right about now. Do those kids actually vote though? I would assume the main people that vote are the ones that watch the show.

Frankie doesn't live in the real world. He has no idea that so many people dislike him. He seemed genuinely shocked their little show didn't go over well for the Team America challenge.

I want Donny to win America's favorite more than anything else in this game right now, but I'm worried that Frankie will pull out a win if the vote gets split between Zach and Donny. I'd vote for Zach if he's got a better shot at it.
