101 Reasons to Ship Zankie

Twitter: @CaitlynD107
This is my magnum opus. I have never worked harder on a video than I have on this.

I have always been into Big Brother. I started watching it during season 7 but I have since seen all the seasons with the exception of season 1 and parts of season 2. During my Big Brother watching I have always been a fan of showmances: Brenchel, Jeff/Jordan, Eric/Jessica and tons more. But I have never shipped a Big Brother couple, a reality TV couple or a real person pairing as much as I ship Zankie. Zankie are honestly now one of my all-time favorite pairings.

Zach/Frankie are an incredibly intriguing pair mostly because it has always been difficult to make sense of them. Frankie is openly gay, while Zach has publically declared himself straight. They are playing a social game which requires you to win over people. They were in a Final 2 alliance (which has since completely imploded). Since Zach has left the house (and gone to jury), he has been claiming that most of his actions with Frankie were either simply friendship or were game-related. I don't buy it. I've seen them all season, if Zach was acting he deserves an Oscar. Trust me when I say that Zach is not a good actor (that was one of his major game flaws: his inability to convincingly lie).

I ship Zankie. This means that I would like for them to be in a romantic relationship. This video was created with his in mind. I am fully aware of the possibilty that Zach is straight. If Zach or Frankie are not interested in having a romantic relationship, I respect that. Many of the reasons featured in this video would also be great reasons for them to be friends. I hope and believe that they will at the very least have a great friendship outside the house.

This video is NOT about Zankie as an alliance in Big Brother. I am well aware of the fact that Frankie put Zach on the block causing Zach to go to Jury. I don't care about that. Both Zach and Frankie have said that was a game move which had nothing to do with their bond.

I would like to thank a variety of Tumblr users for these clips, particularly ZankieGrance (  / zankiegrance  )

PS: If you hate Zach, Frankie or Zankie then feel free not to watch this video. I don't need the arguments against Zankie pointed out to me. I'm not interested in reading your hate about either of them or the pairing and I am certainly not interested in yet again being called delusional.
