Russell makes good on his vow to start kissing some Chima butt up in the HoH room. He apologizes for their argument shown last week (which I guess must have been real after all), but she doesn't seem entirely receptive to what he's saying. She DRs that she just needs to decide whether her distrust of him is enough of a reason to put him up. Well, I guess that would depend on any reasons she might have for putting up someone else, of which she has thus far shared none.

In the backyard, Jeff and Jordan watch Ted the spider spin a web. They speculate about where spiders' webs come from, and where baby spiders come from, if you know what I mean. Jeff speaks for all of America when he finally asks Jordan, "What do you think about all day?"

Everyone hangs out in one of the bedrooms as Chima tells a personal story. This sometimes occurs, but I think this one wins all of them: "I was raped by a serial killer." See? Hard to beat that one. She says she fought and escaped, even though her attacker had a gun. Eventually, he was caught, tried, and executed. Everyone seems very impressed with Chima's strength and spirit. What the hell am I supposed to do with that? I mean, unless she goes into the Diary Room and says she made it up? Which doesn't seem to be happening. I don't think I'm going to hold out for that possibility.

Later, Jordan tells Jeff that she thinks they'll be nominated this week. Jeff assures her that they'll be cool, but he doesn't tell her that he's got the mystery power. I suspect that if he does, he gets it taken away. Jordan is for some reason convinced that Michele has the mystery power. She clearly underestimates America's ability to dial its phones.

The weirdest thing happens now: the front doorbell rings, and Natalie runs to let in...Jeremy Piven. He's wearing a shirt, tie, and a face-scruff, greeting them all and charmingly herding them into the living room. If it were me, I'd be getting in and out of there as fast as possible, but he actually chats with them a bit, asking how long they've been cooped up in there and speculates that Lydia will be the first one to lose it. He clearly is not a regular viewer. He admits, "I've been in here eleven minutes, and I'm about to have a complete emotional breakdown." He's actually there to tell them about a "luxury competition," which is to get to see his new movie, The Goods. He plays them the trailer, then sends them out to the backyard for the competition. But as if this isn't weird enough. Jeremy Piven Diary-Rooms about how they seem like nice kids. "I don't think I would last very long at all," he tells us. I'm wondering how much extra money it took to get Jeremy Piven not only into the Big Brother house, but into the Diary Room.
