In between exhaustive discussions of household loyalty and workouts on the elliptical, the Big Brother 11 houseguests competed for the first Power of Veto last night. The challenge required all competitors to reach elbow-deep into gigantic zits to find over-sized scrabble tiles, which they used to spell out the longest word they could think of, all while thick, white "pimple cream" showered down on them. In light of this production triumph and last week's Wedgie Initiation, I'm wondering (and excited about) what other sophomoric challenges might be in store for Big Brother 11.
The Swirly
Each houseguest is suspended upside-down over a large, vigorously flushing toilet and given a Rubik's cube. The first person to turn a single face of the cube solid, while withstanding the water pressure, wins.
The Towel Snap
Contestants are given a towel and assigned a papier-mâché victim (think piñata) filled with candy and jigsaw pieces. Once houseguests have towel-whipped open their victims, they sift through the enclosed Cow Tales and Starbursts for puzzle pieces. The first person to assemble their puzzle (a kitten with a ball of yarn) wins.
TP Challenge
Each competitor is covered in honey before toilet papering a tree while calling out state capitals. The first person to completely cover their tree and correctly name ten capitals is the champion.
Pants-Off
The houseguests run on side-by-side treadmills at 5.5 mph, while wearing weighted trousers (15% of their body weight, to be fair) and listening to Kelis' 'Milkshake.' The last person to lose their pants wins.
First Period
Each contestant plugs a backyard geyser with hundreds of over-sized cotton balls before sketching Ferris Bueller from memory. The most accurate drawing determines the victor.
