Why I always root for the Underdog on Big Brother 14
|OK- So I’ve had to take some heat for my opinions on this Big Brother 14 Season.
And I’m not going to apologize, cause I have always…(and this is SO weird, cause as I’m writing this–FLASHBACK 2:05pm BBT–Frank and Brit are talking about this exact thing.)….rooted for the UNDERDOG.
And say what you will about Frank, but since the show started…For the last SIX WEEKS…Frank’s either been on the block (4 weeks) or been HOH (2 weeks). That– my friends–is an underdog. And the thing is–with this POV win–he’s still there.
Now, people hate Boogie, and I get that. He’s hard to like. He’s cranky, and selfish– ref: going for the 10G’s when his boy was in trouble. But the thing is…Boogie didn’t THINK Frank was in trouble. Why?? Cause Frank and Boogie TRUSTED Dan. And that’s the trouble. Actually, that’s everyone’s trouble. I know you’re gonna say “Well, they’re just mad because the others took the first shot.” But they had the chance and they didn’t DO it, did they? And I truly believe that Froogie planned to roll with the Silent Six a good while longer…
Up until this last nomination, I believe Dan still harbored hopes to being Boogie’s Dr. Will 2.0. He knows he can’t win against Frank in the end. He knew he could beat Boogie, though. He even said it—for nostalgia’s sake, he wanted the two previous winners to team up, and wipe out the rest of the house. But it’s finally become evident to Dan that Boogie’s never going to turn against Frank. And once that settled in, he positioned the rest of his ‘flock’ ahead of him like a human meat-shield.
The thing is–all those he’s hiding behind are nothing but fodder for Dan. For all his nice-guy persona, Dan will cut throats as quick as a rattlesnake can strike. Let’s take Ian for instance. Ian relishes his back-stabbing role. He gleefully reports everything Froogie tells him to Dan. He thinks it’s drawing him closer to Dan. But what he naively doesn’t realize is that there is NO WAY Dan’s gonna allow Ian to go to the end. Dan’s already planted the seed that “Boy, Ian’s in the best spot in the house, isn’t he?” Dan knows that Ian’s super-popular, and he’ll cut the kid’s throat as soon as he’s no longer needed. The sad part of all this for wee Ian, is that Frank probably WOULD take him to the end–confident that he could probably beat him with his impressive resume.
Since sitting next to Boogie is no longer an option, you better believe that Dan plans to sit next to one of the “castaways” at the end. One of the non-players, who he can claim did nothing in the game, while he was the mastermind behind most of the big-player evictions. The thing is–this isn’t Season 10. There are too many folks in the house who know how he plays. Let’s look at his team.
Danielle–she’s won too many comps. He’ll carry her for a long time, but in the end, he’ll use someone else to take her out.
Shane–no WAY does he want to sit next to this big winner. He’ll cut him before Brit.
Britney- too popular. A previous America’s Winner. Too close to too many in the Jury.
Though Boogie will likely go this week, he’ll do whatever it takes to out Dan along the way. That’s his mission. And if team Boogie does nothing else, they’ve succeeded in planting the first seeds of doubt.
THAT’s why I always root for the Underdog. The underdog puts it out there every day. They play with heart and soul. They play it balls-to-the-wind (so to speak) while under a constant pressure cooker. Jeff had to play that way. Don’t freak out- I’m not comparing Frank to Jeff. I’m just saying that players like them are out there, fighting for their life every day. They don’t scurry around in shadowy corners, whispering, and letting the others do the work for them.

finally someone who believes in frank wow i agree with everything you said……i’m for frank i dont understand why he is so disliked he is a true player and honest see he should of backed door dan last week now look he will be on his own now and thats stinks.
i been saying that for a long time now i dont get why ppl dislike frank so much this guy is true n will have ur back no matter wat unlike dan when you can make mike b look good u know ur a bad guy dan so such a sake i love when frank n boog called him out n he tried to ask brit how she felt n frank was like dont ask her u answer u never answer question i was rolling i was so glad he said that cuz dan never answer ppl when they asks him things he always answer then with a question i wish shane n brit get it together n see dan is playing them
have you not been watching the feeds. They sit around and make up lies about other players, make fun of other players and have the nastiest mouths in the house,can’t wait till both Frank and Mike leave the house
Lets all say it together people…THEY ALL LIE!!! As for making fun of others…Brit did a pretty good impression (and not so flattering) of Joe. And their sex talk sessions are hardly clean family entertainment. I must admit i’m not a Boogie fan. His graphic name calling of women has colored my opinion of him…but he does have game. As for Frank…i’m slowly coming around on him. I still don’t think he’s an innocent lamb but his gamplay has been excellent. Having said all that i just think it would be a good game move to evict Boogie. His motives were not pure (as no ones is) to stick with the silent six. I say get a power player out while you can. You might not have the option again.
i agree get a power player out dan he is goin to win this game being a liar he was way worse then boogle dont get me wrong boogle has been a bad player but this year not so much he really wanted to play with ppl this year dan been lying n telling everyone that he wants to work with them but goes to boogle n say i dont care if u get rid of them even dani when the time is right im just sayin n for cat u need to go back n watch the live feeds afterdark n the show cuz foogle might tlk that stuff but thats all it is tlk
I know we don’t see eye to eye on Boogie, Janet. But i have to say you’re right about Frank. Something ocurred to me as i was reading your blog….Frank reminds me of JANELLE!! Not the Janelle of this season of course. But the one that beat all odds when she had to and her arse was on the line. The only difference between the two…besides the obvious….is their social game is somewhat different. Looks like shes passed the torch to Frank as the hg most likely to succeed. Frank and Boogie together rub me the wrong way. But take Boogie out of the picture and we have a whole new Frank. Everyone will want to align with him…and everyone will want to take him out. It’s possible he will get the F3 treatment….Carry everyone to the end and then get evicted because they know they can’t beat him with the jury. Everyone (including myself) has looked at poor little Ian as the odd man out. Frank has taken his place. As for what will happen with a DE?…It’s balls to the wall time for Frank again. But i’m beginning to think this “Rocky” will have another come back.
I think Frank may have a better game without Boogie. As for the DE, my prediction. Frank wins HOH, noms Dan and Shane, Frank wins POV and Dan goes. Just my thoughts.
Agree. But there’s the possibility that Shane might win veto. IMO..Brit would be the renom.
i agree that frank may be better on his own–but its a must win–hoh or veto for him -hes a gonner if one of the quack pack wins…
Frank is NO underdog…he came into the game and had the same shot at winning as the rest of the HG, but each time he has been on the block, CBS finds a way to save him. Think about it this way…Jodi left with no problems, then Kara left with no issues, Jojo left…with no issues…then Janelle, right out the door without a hitch. EVERY-TIME production think thats they are going to have to get rid of Frank…they throw a wrench in the game and pull out some kind of controversy that keep Frank there and for THAT…I want him to go. The game is being tampered with and anyone that doesn’t see it, has to be blind. Even Ashley was talking on the live feeds…about how Frank already had a ‘chip’ in his hands, when he picked for the veto player (yet to be aired)and they conveniently cut to the fish-tanks…when she talks about it?? The game is rigged and they need to let Frank go, just like anyone else…but they are trying to hard to make more reality TV stars, then find true HG’s that isnt seeking fame. Models…Playboy Bunny…amateur music performer…a chef…ALL of which have had TV time already…and thats not what the show is about. I think that with Franks daddy being a celebrity and watching the show, that CBS feels its great for rating to keep that connection there, but they are losing viewers like crazy. Its completely rigged now and not even worth watching. Frank is NOT the underdog as you would say and anyone that teams up with Booger is asking for trouble. IF he is a true BB fan as he says…he should have known better than to work with Booger. I had complete respect for Booger as a player too…until he slept with Erica, in the BB house…JUST to use her to make it farther. That takes a true slime-bag and he is always doing things that make his character questionable. CBS just keeps trying SO hard to bring back the ‘Chill-town’ thing and they need to get over it already. Booger is no one without someone to do his dirty work and without Dr Will, he would have never made it so far the last times. The ONLY reason Booger is there, is for drama…CBS LOVES a train-wreck and Booger i controversial and that’s what CBS wants. Frank and Booger are being saved for whatever reason by CBS, and its just gone too far…wake up people!!
Ummm..no. CBS is not losing viewers. There are more sites for BB fans to vent on than you can shake a stick at. And they are CONSTANTLY bombarded with opinions. If they were losing viewers these sites would be like the Mojave desert…empty. All of the controversy with Boogie..Frank…Janelle and the others is GREAT for CBS ratings. Would you rather they not give a damn and give us 14 boring hg that either we all loved or didn’t care about? It’s their responsibility to make sure we have an entertaining show. As well as make money. I hope like hell they DO make a lot of dough. This assures me that BB will be around NEXT season. And as a fan…thats what i want. And Franks so-called “celebrity” daddy has nothing to do with him still being there. I never even HEARD of the guy and neither have a lot of people. So why would his daddy be a factor? You mention Boogie sleeping with Erica to use her to further him in the game. How do you know she wasn’t doing the same thing? Sex can be a weapon…but it cuts both ways.
I’d like to have a nickel for every time someone says they will quit watching because it’s rigged. I’d be rich…and they would still be watching. Most of the people that say that are still posting 300 comments later. And as for Frank being the underdog…the dictionary says an underdog is “a participant in a conflict or game that isn’t expected to win”. Against all odds, Frank has won when he needed to. So i’d say that’s a perfect decription.
For those of you that only want to keep beleiving what you want…go read up and find out about the viewers they have lost. Why do you think they keep trying to MAKE drama happen? They have lost alot of faithful viewers and I had watched each season. Seeing Frank already have a chip in his hand when he reached in the bag to get a partner for Veto, was just the end of it and they have it so rigged…you all must be blind. They used to spin a wheel to pick for veto, but that wasnt easy to make happen what they want…so now they use a bag?? Rotf. Of course they are using Franks daddy for ratings…they are trying to bring in another generation of viewers cause of those that had lost, and thats why they get HG’s that have famous family. Even Kara had Hugh Hefner tweeting about the game…they pick those people on purpose, and that have popular connections. Frank won the last the veto…yes, but Booger handed him that HoH and I just cant beleive that you people dont see it. Sounds like CBS is great at brain-washing the weak-minded and if you have watched the shows since the beginning, you would see how its changed.
Its funny how the weeks that Frank gets HoH…his nominations are fine, but when he is on the block…there is ALWAYS a way to save him. If I was a grown ass man, I would tell CBS to let me win and stop handing it to me, but Frank is a complete Nancy-Boy that doesnt even have a job. Lmao. FYI…I do not watch any longer…its better to read about it then for my entire family to give CBS our ratings…lmao
Pardon me, but i’ve watched since day 1. So i happen to know a little bit about the workings of BB. Not saying i know everything. But i do know ONE thing….if you have stopped watching the CBS shows, then why bother reading about it? Sounds like you still care or you would not be reading or posting comments. Surely you wouldn’t want to be associated with us so called “weak minded fans”…if you’re a grown ass man.
BB did make a few bucks on the $1.00 a vote of the rigged coaches joining the game deal.
I agree with 48skw. I say that live feed where they cut to the fish whenever Ashleigh said that about the chips. The show is totally rigged, but I still love watching it. Even Shane said that “Dairy Queen”, which is the HG’s secret word for production, were questioning him about his decision to put Boogie and Frank on the block. He refused to change his decision. So they found a way to get one of them off the block. They want Froogie for the ratings.
And if you remember, in season 10 Dan was the biggest underdog from week 1. He played a perfect game of hide in the shadows and strike when needed. And if you think Boogie would have taken Frank to the end, then you are as naive as you think Ian is. This game is all about cutting throats. The players that win, just know which throats to cut and when the best time to do it.
i also agree with 46skw. and you don’t ALWAYS root for the underdog. didn’t you run rachael down for two thirds of the season last year then all of a sudden decide she should be the winner?
Umm, no Shirley. I was a fan of Rachel’s in her first season- and eviscerated Brit and Monet for their terrible treatment of her. I was one of the few popular sites out ther to do so. An I was 100% behind her last season as well.
Did I make a few comment on how she irritated folks? Of course- she and Brendon together WERE irritating. But I totally LOVED the way she turned her game around after he was gone and was thrilled that she won. Get your facts straight.
And– as for the “chip” comment. If you watched further, you’d see that Ashley said she would’ve THOUGHT it was rigged if they hadn’t down a “bag dump” wchih is now the rule. After the Veto Meeting, the bag is dumped in full view of everyone I prove that everyone’s name is there and everything’s in the up and up.
Cat– I agree! I wish I had a nickel, too, for everyone that claim it’s rigged and they will never watch again..
oops- and apologies for the typos– fat finger disease typin on my phone 🙂
@Janet..Im sure all the chips ARE dumped out at the end…lmao. You think they wouldnt have Frank get rid of the other chip when the cameras werent focused on him?? Seroiously?? Come on people…can you really NOT see that Frank should not still be there?? If the game was played fair, they would never have thrown away all Shanes work for that HoH when he put up Frank with an “oh so timed perfectly twist.” lol. They seen that Shane was taking the wins on the whole game and they dont like it. To look at Frank…you would think he would have won more competions, and when CBS seen that he sucked in the beginning, they tried and tried to give Frank chances and eventually he had to at least win something. Now that Shane is exhausted from having to compete and campainingg not to go on the block…of course Frank is winning, and if he wasnt that would be even worse. I would rather see Rachel anyday…at leat she is a good physical competitor and they didnt hand her the wins…EVERY single time. lol. Even my teen age kids and younger family see it..anyone that doesnt is a few fruit loops short of a box…..lmao
Well Janet i agree with you Frank has had to fight for his life since day one and for no other reason then his physcial threat and association with boogie–i know booige thought he was safe and there for went for the 10G but you can never take that lightly in the game of big brother..anyhow–i hope those castaways will realize there is still a power of five of course they don’t know about Ian ..but gang up with frank and boogie and let them battle it out wilth the 5 –the castaways will be in the shadows cuz they will still be gunning for frank and boogie –i say Go FRANK..the only other person i would like to see win is Shane he is another one that has to fight for his life –if he wouldn’t let Brit get in his ear(granted she says she doesn’t but we all know otherwise) he could roll with Frank and Boogie..
LMAO@ Frank fighting for his life on BB. Are you serious??? rotf
yes i am serious!!!…thats the way i see it and i’am sticking to it!!!
For One, Frank has befriend Boogie, duh. Mostly, I believe people dislike Frank cause they feel the show is “rigged” for him to win the money. Basically, people feel he is being helped by production.
I do hope boogie goes home! Frank and Boogie are bullies, they act like
Their playing a straight up game.Boogie claiming he got Janelle out cause she fooled around with Will while he was engaged, get over it dude. He was either jealous that he didn’t fool around with her or maybe he ‘s crushing on Will. Britney said it best, why is it OK for them to be in an alliance. But no one else can. They corner everyone and intimidate them to get their way. I hope Shane sticks to his guns. Send Boogie home!!!!
I want bugger gone too. Tired of his antics. But I’ll bet he stays. Frank is not and underdog. Players like Ian, Ashley and Joe, they are underdogs.
janet, check the live feeds 12:06 bbt bag was dumped then frank told boogie he had to pull the chips back in but he held on to the hg choice chip.boogie told him to never mention that again….8:35 pm bbt ashley asked if anyone else heard that joe saw boogie/frank cheating. today joe went into ddairy room and told production that they cheated. told ashley they might give the pov to her. don’t know the reason for that.
this was yesterday
also, matt boyer that writes for bb14 wrote about it on his website. he saw it too.
Time for boogie to go home, let’s face it he has not been up to par,!!!! Boogie go home. Your boogie is cooked….
