Tonight on Big Brother: Kevin puts his hand in a hole and Jeff stuffs dollar bills in his underwear. It's not what you think.
It's much, much worse.
This season they've been poking fun of various Houseguests before the credits, and this week does not disappoint: right before the graphics we get treated to Ratalie screaming her head off in fear of the dragonfly.
The Camel Toe Of Terror!
We go to color and the little helpful box tells us it's Day 55 inside the house. Speaking of color:
Someone's getting fashion cues from Meshach Taylor circa 1987.
Kevin and Ratalie promise Jeff he's safe, then Natalie turns right around and tells us she wants Jeff out. Michele sees herself as the lone wolf. Russell may be gone from the house, but his metaphors live on.
Sappy acoustic music plays as Dumb and Dumber discuss the latest events. "I let you down," says Jordan, and Jeff is passive-aggressively not disagreeing with her. "I'm a winner, and winners win. You gotta prove yourself. Now's my time." Jeff then explains that he was born in a small town, and when the rain would fall down, he would look out his window, planning to break away, take a midnight train going anywhere, spread his wings and move to LA where dreams always come true. Jeff has apparently decided to try writing an American Idol hit song next. While he's dreaming, he tells Jordan she can certainly try and win the veto herself if she wants.
Livin' On A Prayer
Meanwhile, Kevin enters his HOH room and sees the long-awaited door with a question mark on it. The HOH TV tells him that if he wants to "release" $10,000, he has to put his hand in a hole. Well, they definitely picked the right Houseguest to do this. "It's too easy," says Kevin. "$10K to stick my hand in a hole?" Hey Kevin, at least make me work for it a little. He finally decides to open the door, and I hope there's a toilet behind it because he's dancing around like he has to go potty real bad. Inside is a big not-at-all-ominous-looking box with a hole. Big enough to hide a Houseguest, even. Well, a short one anyway. He shoves his hand up in there and squeals like a stuck pig.
Cappy? Is that you in there?
Before we can see what's going on, there's a commercial break.
You know it's bad when you're jonesing for some Amazing Race to make you feel smart.
When we return, Kevin is indeed stuck in the box like Pooh in the honey jar, and a TV next to the box shows the back yard, where $1 bills have started raining down on the other Houseguests. Outside, Jordan says her dad always told her money didn't fall from on trees. "And now I got money fallin' from the sky. Dad, you were very wrong." Jeff is meanwhile stuffing bills into any available crevice. "I know where the phrase comes 'dirty money' now."
And I have a sudden urge to soak my wallet in a vat of Purel.
Kevin is helpless and is forced to watch all the idiots on the TV chasing money. I guess now he knows how we all feel. The screen and tells him that the key to release him is hidden somewhere in the house. So he has to wait for someone to leave the money and go find the key for him. Good luck with that, because it's all about the Washingtons out there. Eventually Ratalie wanders up. She says she'll find the key for him... and goes right back out to the back yard to pick up some more loot. HAHAHAHA. Kevin sees this on the screen, and thinks that if it was Jessie bent over stuck in the box, Ratalie would totally drop the money and come running to help. Aaaaand picturing Kevin picturing Jessie bent over isn't doing anything for me. Next!

I just feel bad for the Intern who actually had to count each person's money.

I don't think BB sprung for a Sony system, I think it was Vizio.

OMG, I was hoping that Kevin grew a set and put Gnatalie up when Michelle took herself off. That would have been the smart thing to do. I'm pretty sure it's going to bite him in the ass at the end. And Jeff could you be anymore of a sore loser? I know alot of people hate him, but he is still my favorite.

It was dickish, but I can't fault Jeff too much for being pissed after the Veto comp. He just realized he was out of the house, and lo and behold bi-polar, socially awkward Michelle is suddenly all huggy and happy after her win.
Everyone commenting on Laura's giant horse-teeth had me cracking up. And honestly, the Lydia/Ronnie/Shrek morph looked way better than those two do in real life.
Kevin's best play is to keep Jeff and let he or Michelle get rid of Natalie next week. For once Michelle made some sense, Gnat has some votes locked up in the jury house and she's the only one that could beat him head to head.
Kevin's an innocuous enough person, but between the fug over-dramatic faces, the prancy dancing, and those f'ing 1987-era neon colors, he's starting to grate on me. We get it Kevin, you like pee-pee. You can tone it down a bit.

Jeff looked the cutest in his spacesuit but he's a real jerk sometimes. The way he responded to Michelle after the veto competition wasn't pretty.
Kevin would be wise to get rid of Jeff because if Jeff stays he'll want to get EVEN.

Great recap!!!
Did anyone else notice that in the opening credits, Russell was shown as an active houseguest rather than an evicted one? I actually backed up my TiVo and watched it again to make sure the wine wasn't making me imagine things. I might be completely making something out of a mere technical error, but I can't help but wonder if the Pandora's Box twist isn't over... Like you pointed out, that box IS big enough to hold a human... what if by choosing to open the box, Kevin unleashed evil in the form of Russell? Also, Russell won 10k while in the house... maybe BB let him pick between cashing that in for a second shot and just going to the jury house?
Anyone else see where I'm coming with this, or am I just batshit crazy?

Lolo...what a FANTASTIC idea!! Which means it will never happen.

Lolo - you propose a great "scenarial", but alas, have to agree with Catty that it will not happen.
