Geez, Deesterman,

You were nice to Frank.

I still believe from watching Frank, that he is having a gender identity crisis. My reasons for saying it? Everything is just a little off with Frank. Did I read or hear that he went to law school? It doesn't really matter. What matters is that he is a grown man who is not really engaged (strongest sense of the word) in anything. He wanders Europe? He works in "Sales"? He lives with his parents? His fashion sense is just a teeny bit - shall we say effeminate (sp) He wants to be on the Bachelorette, and when it comes time for intimacy, he finds an excuse not to be alone for a night with Ali. His mother did everything she could to encourage Ali when she knew there was another love interest for Frank? None of it makes sense. Unless you factor in something Frank did not want to play out in the media. He probably went to Tahiti because of his contract - the producers had to milk all of the drama out of the situation that they could.

I agree that everyone is in it for notoriety and money. I don't think Frank wants notoriety, however short-lived it might be.
