Okay, I just asked, "What's not to love?" as if I were some low-rent Toyota commercial. I can answer that question very easily: the new theme song. Whither the twinkly piano? Whither the muzak instrumentation? Whither the gentle tempo? WHITHER, PEOPLE? Now we have raging guitars (at least by CBS standards) and a rockin' drumbeat. Sigh. Hey, at least we still have that creepy eye at the very end. That's got to be worth something.

Anyway, the episode began just after Rachel's nomination ceremony placed Kaysar and Ashlea on the chopping block. Eric, who spent the latter half of the premiere organizing a flimsy male alliance, immediately cornered Kaysar and told him, "You're safe, you know that, right? Look at me. Look in my eyes. Do you trust me?" Stay away, little man. I don't know how anyone could trust a guy whose eyes dart around more frequently than someone maintaining eye contact with a housefly. But then again, all he has to do is dangle the fireman card to get instant respect. Either that or threaten to stuff someone in his giant chin dimple, but that's a worst case scenario.

With the awkwardness of the nomination ceremony taking a toll on her, Rachel sat on her bed and let a gaggle of women dote on her. Things became immediately awkward, however, when mid-cooing, Kaysar showed up to talk. As soon as he set foot inside the doorway, the ladies all fell silent, as if to say, "An Arabian has entered the room. We shall cower now."

Anyway, Kaysar only wanted to smooth things over with the Head of Household. He babbled a little bit, ultimately saying, "It doesn't mean...I have nothing against you." Wait, so does that mean he does have something against her? It was a double negative. Okay, okay, I know what he meant. It was just an unfortunate stutter. Rachel meanwhile replied with similar diplomacy. "You're a great guy, Kaysar," she said, adding, "It's just that, well, I'm scared of Arabs."
