BIG BROTHER moved to a new night on CBS and all eyes were on the mysterious button and how it would affect the game. I feel it's only right that we start with the fact that Julie Chen looks insanely gorgeous in that all black pantsuit.

Now that we have that covered, let's begin shall we? I'm going to be completely honest, the show was filled had a LARGE portion of filler. Slow week in the house I suppose? Once again, Victoria spent the whole week moping around, convinced she would be going home. I'll give it to her though, this week she actually woke up and realized this could in fact be the week she heads to the jury. Look around Victoria; you're the only female left. The fellas may have some tension here and there, but I'll give it to them, they're loyal to each other.

Then again, if the boys were smart they'd take her to the finale, because she won't win when it comes to jury votes. Or would she? Some may respect the fact that she floated her way to the final two. She COULD have a shot, as it seems there may be some cracks in the boy's alliance foundation. Moving on, Derrick seems stuck on the fact of getting Frankie out at the next possible chance.

Like I said, there was A LOT of filler in this episode. So let's skip ahead to where we got some footage of the jury house shall we? Nicole made her second return to the jury house unfortunately, and update: she's still as precious as ever. Upon Christine's arrival, she got an even cooler reception from her previous roommates than she did from the studio audience, and we all know how harsh that was. Even Donny, yes Donny, was less than thrilled to see her. He's probably one of the kindest people to ever play the game, and he wanted nothing to do with her. One thing that all of the jury members can agree on though, is that at this point of the game, Frankie and Derrick are the ones to beat.

I thought we had finally got to the live-eviction, but as soon as Derrick headed towards the diary room to vote, the timer went off as the rewind button hit all zeros. With looks of confusion on their faces, Julie teased that the twist would "affect everyone's game" and even "their lives in the game." I love when Julie lays on the dramatics.

Then she dropped the bomb on them. The house would be going back in time for a week and completely replaying the game over. By the look on his face, Frankie didn't seem to be too happy that his week of being HOH was a complete waste, but then he seemed to be thrilled for everyone? Frankie's reactions confuse me more than his outfit choices.

BIG BROTHER legend Dan returned to the house to give his viewpoint on where all of the gameplay currently is. He's got a point, the boys, love them or hate them, are a strong alliance that has steamrolled the entire competition. Dan hit the nail on the head, Frankie IS the only houseguest to realize Derrick is a threat. Could we see a Frankie and Derrick final two? Between us, I sure do hope so.

With the game in rewind mode, and the houseguests playing the farm themed see-saw challenge again, tell me, who do YOU want to win HOH?
