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.

Wow, That was amazing I was smiling & crying at the same time. You captured all the emotion and beauty of what unfolded right in front of our eyes. It's such a beautiful & tragic love story. I my heart goes out to Zach mostly, I don't think he was expecting any of this. He walked into the house to simply play a game & what he found was way more than he probably ever expected to happen to him. Anyways,Awesome, awesome job, you should be really proud!!

[@valflaminga9693]

Thank you for this. I hated Frankie for getting Zach out and didn't understand how he could do that to his best friend. He also said some really horrible things that made me question if it was all just an act. But seeing this reminded me of all their sweet moments. Maybe the relationship wasn't one-sided after all.

Does anyone even consider the possibility that Zach could just be using Frankie to get to Ariana. I mean Frankie just CASUALLY name drops her like: "Ohh and you can meet my sister" which to Zach is probably like 'Bingo!' I'm in. Which is why I don't ship this. I think he is faking it just for the camera's smh.

They're like the type to last long but not longer ? The ones who'll get married but later would also break up and meet someone new

[@Mrdonjuliothewicked]

I know you, nor anyone at all, really knew at the time, i didnt either ofc, its sad Zach got attacked for years for him not dating Frankie. For anyone reading this who doesnt know what im talking about, Zach has a channel and he made a video about all the negative messages he recieved for the sheer fact he didnt date Frankie.

[@Mrdonjuliothewicked]

Looking back, I could be wrong ofc, it seems like Zach was fighting his sexuality through the show. He has come out as bisexual since the show, but watching live, it seems like he was fighting the feeling the whole time. I don't at all blame him for the sheer fact of public perception, unfortunately society does normally look down upon a man having any sexuality that isn't straight, I understand that, the backlash he got after the show is genuinely disgusting.

Biphobia for the fail! This is why I cringe when people say that Zach is gay! Quit forgetting bisexuals! They do exist, and frankly I think if/when Zach finally stops being a butt, that's what will happen. If anything, he's bisexual.... and that's more than okay!

[@Twelveeightynine]

or maybe he is straight and comfortable with his sexuality?

[@aneleszemog9093]

Twelveeightynine if he were so comfortable he wouldn't be questioning it all the time!

[@bitchudontknowme444]

zach has talked about fucking girls on live feeds before and he's had girlfriends. either he's bi or just really comfortable with frankie lol

[@TheJwamax]

i dont think a straight guy will be like"i want to bang my guy friend" ,to be comfortable is to hug but not to think sexualy about them, to be like 'im turned on by you" and hold hands and all those stuff he is clearly either gay or bi but in denial and thats what i dont like, i feel he is a guy who can have sex with gay guy and then be like we are friends ,for moments i felt he lead frankie on ,if he is not gay then he shouldnt do all those stuff
