Frannie and Matt formed a connection right away on Soka Tribe. Frannie even described them as "two big dorky magnets that can't be pulled apart." Matt is a 27 year-old software engineer from San Francisco, CA who has been very vocal about how he recently got out of a relationship.
Their closeness has caused some hesitation with some of the other members of the tribe because you never know what is going to happen on Survivor and think that their closeness could be used against them.
But despite the tribe member's concerns, host Jeff Probst is very excited for this showmance telling TV Insider that, " [It's] our first showmance in a very long time... I won’t say anything other than if it lasted, it would make me very happy."
It is important to note that Frannie identifies as queer, and shares this proudly on her Instagram bio with a rainbow flag. So although Frannie hasn't mentioned this on the show, the connection she feels with Matt could just be a friendship.
Which might be for the best. After all, it's better to be stabbed in the back then in the heart. Or is it?
Survivor airs Wednesdays at 8:00 p.m. ET on CBS.
