Thread: Battle of the Seasons: San Diego - Frank, Zach, Ashley, Sam

I used to hate Zach, but he turned into a mini Frank and now I love him!

At what point in the show was the Ashley segment about Jasmine? I watched the show again (DVR) last night and didn't see it?

Toward the end. It was one of those 30-second clips between commercials.

I honestly don't get Zach. On the show and for a while after it, he was all about not getting caught up in the debauchery of the show, not giving into temptation, etc. and then Ashley dumps him, he comes on the show and does exactly all of the above, like it's no big deal. I think he's over-compensating for the fact that he came off as a homophobe on the show, and so now he's trying to show the world he's not really like that, which is cool, but I feel like I see a completely different person on this challenge from his original season, and not just in the homophobe aspect, but his entire persona. his entire persona seems completely different.

Bipolar disorder is basically defined by mood swings of depression and mania that last several weeks, sometimes months before changing into the other extreme (Only in rare cases of Bipolar Disorder, after years the cycling becomes more rapid, but it's still not common for a switch within a week). Frank changes moods several times a day. Frank is the living image of Borderline Personality Disorder. And I wish that he would realize that, so he can work on it. It was funny to me when he had his first session with said therapist and the guy told him that he has enormous potential, if only he realized it (I don't understand how he could have beaten everybody else in RW history on his IQ test, but I definitely think he's not dumb). Right now, Frank doesn't realize and he's taking the easy way out by partying, having a gigantic ego and stomping all over everybody else so there wouldn't be a chance in hell he'd have to face himself. And hey, everybody keeps on feeding his ego and keeps on putting up with his bull****, what bigger confirmation could he get? You have to be on the very bottom to change, and he's on top of the world right now, because the world lets him be there. He's being a very ugly person right now, and that's probably because he couldn't confront himself with his issues. It would interest me what happened between him and Sam, because the way he treats her right now is another argument proving my point. Rejection, weakness, vulnerability, self-actualization, impulsivity, love turning to hate, some of the many topics with BPD.

And that was my first post, thought I'd jump on the bandwagon here.

I don't get that, either, Sam always defended him in the house during their RW season. If it weren't for Sam, I don't think the cast would have ever given him a second chance after the way he acted.

I just read Frank's Interview and I gotta say that I love what he said about Johnny on his 10th question..and the rest of the interview is great too.
