Finale (E4)

Franke considers superheroes to be his role models because “they do the right thing.” He always does the right thing, no matter the cost, and doesn’t want to hurt people to get ahead or win. As he says, “What good is winning if you made enemies?” Franke is into model kits based on popular anime series and has been collecting action figures since he was 6 years old! He’s not really into sports, but he does like to play volleyball. Franke is confident he’s got the three key things needed to win Endurance: brains, looks and personality!

Franke Sisto is a former contestant and winner of Endurance: Tehachapi. He competed alongside his partner, Erika Cook, as the Red Team.

Endurance[]

Franke was one of the 14 contestants that made it through in the Right to Stay. Before the Partner Selection, Jeszie stated that she didn't want Franke for a partner. Later on, he was partnered with Erika by Chris, and became the Red Team. He was excited about getting Erika for a partner, though in Blocked, they were in the back for most of the challenge.

In Raft Pull, Red Team came within five feet of winning the mission, but they lost to Purple. They were spared from temple though.

After Shea returns, he asks Franke who he would send to temple to which Franke says to take a wild guess (implying he would send Blue). In Drop Out, when Erika won the challenge, he cheered and hugged her in the water. This both ties them for the lead in pieces with Green and Blue as well as the power to divide the 6 teams into 2 superteams. He and Erika go a little back and forth but eventually agree on putting Green and Yellow on their superteam. This is considered to be the powerhouse superteam by the group.
