Episode Discussion: The Buck Swaps Here (05/18/2007)

[Ditchy McAbandonpants]

With Cheese A Go-Go practically upon us, now seems as good a time as any for a topic dedicated to the second episode of Season Five, due to air on May 18th (NOT the 11th, like I originally said). Credit to Ccook50 for finding this info...

From TV Guide: "Eduardo finds a $100 bill on the ground at a swap meet, which triggers greed at the Foster house."

Oh dear; sounds like Bloo might be getting his hands on some cash again. That's never good.

After the slightly controversial Cheese A Go-Go pitch, this episode sounds like a real return to basics; this premise seems to echo of a number of older episodes, notably "Cookie Dough" and "Room With A Feud". That's no bad thing, though; it can be extremely funny when the housemates start going for each other's throats, as those earlier episodes proved. As long as this one serves up a script good enough to keep the familiar concept fresh, we could have a real winner on our hands here...
