Big Brother: How does your mind work, Jordan Lloyd?

That was the question Jeff, our girl Jordan's beloved, had while the two were relaxing by the pool, watching a spider.

Jeff said the spider was making a web. Jordan asked what spider webs were made of; Jeff said 'web.' Then she asked how they make the webs, do they shoot webbing out of their butts? Jeff said that it comes out of their wrists like Spiderman. Jordan said that if she was a spider she wouldn't know how to make a web; Jeff told her that she probably would; Jordan said it would be hard. Jordan asked how spiders mate; Jeff said just like you do. Jordan asked whether it was like horses, butt-to-butt.

That's when Jeff pondered the intricacies of her mind.

Big Brother: Jordan Lloyd decides to lie low

And our girl Jordan pulls it off.

There's barely a peep out of her this episode, although Day 27 brought a lot of deal-making and machinations.

But, of course, Jordan's deal was already brokered with Jeff's help on that spinning carousel game.

Big Brother: Jordan Lloyd has a guardian angel

And it's no surprise that his name is Jeff.

At some point, one of them, probably Jeff, is going to have to throw the other to the wolves.

That will be interesting.

By the way, did you vote for Jordan to win the coup d'etat? You have until tomorrow at 11:59 p.m.

Big Brother: Give Jordan Lloyd the coup d'etat


What's that?

A twist in the game in which one player secretly gets the power to replace one or two of the HOH's nominees for eviction.

I'm sorry if this writing this spoils your Tivo experience, but this is too important.

You know that our girl Jordan isn't manipulative. She's not cut-throat. Guile? Nope.

She needs help. If she keeps being made a pawn, she's going to go at some point. She needs power.

Imagine how fun it would be for Jordan to be the one who shakes things up.

Text the #4 to 81818. Or go to cbs.com to vote. You have until Tuesday, Aug. 4 at 11:59 p.m. But do it NOW.

What to Watch on Thursday: "Real Housewives of Atlanta" returns!

Big Brother 11 (8pm, CBS) - Another houseguest is eliminated tonight, and our own "Jessica Simpson of Matthews" is on the chopping block. We hope the suits at VH1 or E! are paying attention and scoop up Jordan for her own reality spinoff show.

She's Got the Look (9pm, TVLand) - After two photo shoots in Miami and a runway walk with professional models, a winner is chosen tonight in the second season finale.

Royal Pains (10pm, USA) - Hank treats a famous children's book author with a serious heart ailment, which causes tension with Jill (who I think is the weak link in this show, by the way). And Peter Jacobson from "House" guest stars as a newlywed with an ailment that takes all the fun out of typical newlywed activities. 

Real Housewives of Atlanta 2 (10pm, Bravo) - Hold on to your Louis Vuitton bag, because the greatest Real Housewives are back! Tonight's second season premiere begins reasonably enough by playing catch-up with four of the women from last year (plus Dwight!), and by introducing us to the newest addition (Kandi Burruss, right), but then things suddenly flip into Crazy Gear near the end. Atlanta does not disappoint! Do Not Miss. 

Big Brother: Poop doesn't bother Jordan Lloyd

 

She also likes to get dirty and would enjoy wrestling in mud.

And when it comes to crayon intelligence, she will not be bested by jazzberry jam or fuzzy wuzzy brown.

You have to know our girl Jordan to understand.

Big Brother: Jordan Lloyd is off the slop

It had been quite a week for our girl Jordan.

The popular clique was made the Have Nots, so she's been eating slop. And then with Laura's eviction, she's the only member of the popular clique left.

And now as the new week starts, just after things got a little better, they got a little worse.

Big Brother: Jordan Lloyd is still in the house

You know for a minute there, it looked like she might go.

Laura, her pal and fellow potential evictee, wasn't going without a fight.

But in the end, our girl Jordan's sweetness was their weakness.

Big Brother: Jordan Lloyd can't tell time

Our girl Jordan is full of contradictions.

One minute she's capable of coming up with a diabolical (albeit failed) plan to take down a master manipulator.

The next minute she can't decipher the minutes on a clock.

What a woman.

What to Watch on Tuesday: Hell's Kitchen puts Canada on the line

Hell's Kitchen (8pm, Fox) - "Hell's Kitchen," the cooking competition show for people who wish "Iron Chef" and "Top Chef" just had a little violence and profanity, begins its new season with a 2-hour premiere tonight. Gordon Ramsay is as angry and demanding as ever, and the 16 contestants are a truly staggering mix of whackos. All have huge egos, naturally, but a few border on mental or emotional instability -- all the better to push the tease of some actual physical violence this season. The big prize is a job as top chef at a restaurant in the Canadian resort town of Whistler, B.C. (site of 2010 Winter Olympics), but a few of them would be better served by a year in anger management classes. Or cooking school. Ramsay's attitude? We get that. He knows what he's doing, he has standards in his kitchen, and he's in charge. But coming from bozos who can't devein shrimp, it just feels like "crazy." One thing is for sure -- it's never boring.

Better Off Ted (9pm, ABC) - Veronica learns something that impacts her rivalry with her father, who is the CEO at another big company. Ted tries to impress his father by bragging about a Veridian discovery which could cure baldness.

Miami Social (10pm, Bravo) - Did I mention that I hate this show? Mostly I hate that Ariel person, but honestly, they should have just named this show The Real A-Holes of Miami.

Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel (10pm, HBO) - One segment is with former Oakland Raider Barrett Robbins (right), who went AWOL the night before the 2003 Super Bowl. Also, a profile of boxing trainer Freddie Roach, and a 14-year-old cancer patient adopted by the Northwestern University women's lacrosse team.
