'Big Brother 11': The wrath of Russell

"Big Brother 11" has been pushing the high school theme on us all year and this week their efforts were finally fully realized, with jock Russell spending the episode bullying brain Ronnie. In all of those 80's teen movies BB is so desperately channeling, however, weren't we supposed to root for the brain? Because Ronnie is making that really, really difficult right now.

Before we get to the John Hughes homage, however, a quick recap: the cliques started to turn on each other; the house divided into two groups with Ronnie playing both sides; Ronnie won HoH and put up Jeff and Laura; Laura exposed Ronnie's double-talk; Ronnie talked about backdooring Russell but was too chicken to follow through; Jeff won POV and Ronnie put up Jordan in his place.

Julie welcomes us to the show in an outfit that's vintage Julie: a shiny orange old lady jacket and white pants. Welcome back, Jules! She intros us into the episode and immediately kicks it to the happenings of the house since Tuesday's POV ceremony. Jordan worries she is going home, but Laura, Jeff and all of America know that's unlikely considering Laura's the bigger threat mentally. Laura goes to Ronnie and says she will offer him safety if she stays. Ronnie says she needs to convince Jessie, and everyone will fall like dominoes after that. Does it not bother any of them that Jessie is the linchpin of the entire house? Wake up, houseguests, or he's going to win!
