Frankie Grande

Frankie Grande is a houseguest on Big Brother 16. After winning the first HOH competitonn of the season, Frankie established a relationship with co-HOH Caleb Reynolds which evenutally led to the creation of the Bomb Squad, an eight person alliance. After the leader of the alliance, Devin Shepherd, was evicted in Week 3, Frankie joined a new alliance called The Detonators which consisted of four other original Bomb Squad members.

Throughout the entire season, Frankie has consistently come under fire within the house for being a backstabber and liar, successfully backdooring original Bomb-Squad members and allies, Amber and Zach during his HOH reigns. His strong alliance with The Detonators, his exceptional physical and mental competition prowess, and his persuasive manipulative skills have kept him in the game, despite being a target for his competitive skills and the fact that he is the half-brother of a famous pop-star.
