There's something about Michele that just rubs Big Brother's HouseGuests the wrong way. Granted, I've never met the woman. Yet the way she's edited on television has me feeling like she's actually a pretty chill person. Her only "troubling" qualities would be her slight awkwardness, her intimidating brains and her hesitance to talk about much of anything other than game and strategy.

These distinguishing traits hardly justify Ronnie dubbing her the worst human being he has ever met before the house voted to evict him in week 4, or Natalie this past week saying during the nominations ceremony that making a deal with Michele would be like making a deal with the devil. Burn.

Whatever the case, Michele met her end on Tuesday when Kevin's deciding vote got her kicked out of contention for the $500,000 prize.

And then there were three.

I'd choose raining money over awkward boyfriends any day

Pandora's Box returned for the second time in as many weeks. This time it was Natalie who took the bait. Instead of getting locked into a room while money rained on the HouseGuests outside (like in Kevin's case), Natalie was given the opportunity to see her boyfriend in the house – a Big Brother first, by the way.

In their five minutes together, Natalie's boyfriend managed to quickly say hi and then, you know, propose to her. Asking if she would take his hand in marriage, Natalie said, "hell yeah!" – as if rooting for the Steelers on a typical Sunday afternoon. It was uncomfortable.

For 15 extra minutes with her new hubby-to-be, all Natalie had to do was press a button, which she was told would wreak some sort of havoc on the rest of the house. She of course accepted.

Cue the copy cat (a dwarf in feline attire who annoyingly repeated everything anyone said; a fat, adult baby and a woman dressed up as a roach who would spray the HouseGuests with a substance not unlike bug spray. Kevin, Michele and Jordan at first enjoyed the new company, but their spirits quickly deflated after the behavior of their new friends grew stale.
