Frank James Michael "Frankie" Grande Marchione was a houseguest on Big Brother 16. After winning the first HOH competition of the season, Frankie established a relationship with co-HOH Caleb Reynolds that eventually 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 was consistently a target within the house due to his social game, his ability to win competitions and for strategic moves in successfully backdooring original Bomb-Squad members and allies Amber and Zach during his HOH reigns.

When the BB Rewind Twist was introduced in Week 11, Frankie was one of the house guests who wanted to press te button, unknowingly nullyfing his HOH and POV wins. He was evicted in the next week week, after failing to win the same competitions, by a 2-0 vote, placing 5th and becoming the 7th member of the jury.

On week four, Frankie received a letter stating that his beloved grandfather Frank had passed away due to cancer at the age of 90.

Trivia

• Frankie is the first house guest to win five HOH competitions. Due to the Battle of the Block twist, he only retained 3 HOHS so there's an asterisk to that record
  • However, CBS labels him for having the record for most HOH wins. While he does not have the record for most permanent HOHS, he has the record for the most HOHs won in a season.
• Frankie is now the third person to win HOH and POV in the same week twice, following Danielle Murphree & Andy Herren.
  • Of the three, he's the only one to win other HOH's and POV's in other weeks besides the final POV.
• Frankie co-founded the largest alliance in BB history, the Bomb Squad, alongside Caleb Reynolds. Only two members of the alliance did not make the Jury.
• Frankie is tied with Cody Calafiore for the most permanent competitions won in Big Brother 16 at 6
  • At the same time, if one weren't to count dethroned HOHs and the Battle Of The Block as a win, Frankie and Cody are both tied with Frank Eudy and Shane Meaney for the most permanent competitions won by a male at 6.
• He is the first house guest to win two POV's in a row since Frank Eudy.
