Jordan wonders if the competition will involve water.
Jeff hopes it involves things smashing into them. He imitates Michele yelping on the heels of this.

Nat/Kev at the memory wall, covering parts of the HGs faces in case it's the morphed faces contest - clever.

Getting details on this Pandora's Box thing now. Forgive me and rely on Jokers because I feel as dopey as Jeff right now.

There's Kevin's hand in a box and some money and a key and oh lordy.

All the various scenarios have Jeff on edge somewhat comically.
He feels someone knows something that they're not telling him.

Michele is silently communicating with someone. Herself, aliens, the bubble wrap.

She is one eating disorder, two breast implants, a dingy dressing gown and a large mass of beige hair away from All-Stars Erika during those final weeks.

Natalie spots her on the way to the toilet and asks what she's doing in there.

Michele - "Getting my game face on."

Over the chess board, Kevin restates that they need to win Veto. More specifically, Natalie needs to win Veto. Now is the time for her to start winning, he says.

She points out that next week is the big opportunity.

Why do they keep cutting the feed? They've got the other group to switch to when J'n'J are saying something unbroadcastable. Grr.

It was the longest conversation about their respective best friends, who can be brats. That was it.

Michele's joined Kevin and Natalie in the HOH.
Michele says she's back in the zone. She was a little freaked out before, but she's back now.

Michele claims she has enough rage for Jeff and Jordan that if she wins HOH next week, Jeff's going home.

Natalie encourages Michele to try for the Veto.

Natalie tells Michele that if Kevin or her win the veto, they won't use it. Michele seems OK with this.
Then she asks is it between her & Natalie the week after.

Michele giggles (well, yes...) and mentions that Jeff would have a terrible time in the jury house.
Natalie vigorously agrees.

Michele suggests Nat threw the HOH comp, which she denies. Kevin says it was "a pitiful performance".
Nat says it's next week that matters.

Jeff's stretching in the Splish Splash room.
No sign of Jordan. DR, restroom or refrigerator, your choice.

Jeff thinks Michele's definitely throwing them under the bus up in the HOH.
Jordan - "Who cares?"

Jeff spots what might be either Chima's hair or Casey's wig remnants on the wall.

Kev & Nat squabbling about their chess game, hard to resist seeing it as a metaphor for "the game".

Their relationship is strong. Michele seems almost envious of it.

Just past midnight BBT. They gather downstairs, waiting for the call to the POV contest, laughing nervously.

This is a big one.

And ...... trivia.

Considering he had just discovered he'd been lied to and had himself "made a bonehead move", he took it very well indeed. He even "hugged it out" with Kevin at the end of the conversation

They did this during Allstars. I recall Boogie pushing Janelle and Erika out of his way, in his determination to "escape" the "ghosts". These ghosts were ex HG's and Jase appeared as the grim reaper. Wonder if it will be used for a competition again?

still trivia

Michelle won veto. Jeff is going home.

Sounds like they did the morph Veto comp.

Jeff in SS room, drinking wine and contemplating his own stupidity.

Chima got her wish a girl will win this season (Kevin was included in the girl winning)

Russell will be getting a splendid birthday present, Jeff in the jury house.
