There's no doubt Bobby idolizes Greg, his older brother by six years, and that Greg is intensely loyal to and protective of his little brother. But there were times where Bobby just was plain annoying and Greg needed to do his own thing. Such as when he was busy talking on the phone to this completely hot brunette named Rachel, and Bobby, just having arrived from school, pestered Greg with pointing out the he was the only one in his class who could do 5 chin-ups. Annoyed at Bobby interrupting him, Greg blurts out that he can do twice as many chin-ups as Bobby. That offends Bobby, and he demands that Greg ''prove'' that he's so much better ... and to make sure he's putting his money where his mouth is, he makes the classic "the winner gets to tell the loser to do what I say for a week." Greg again tries to brush Bobby aside, but when Bobby won't go away, Greg finally is forced into a corner and has to accept the bet.

There's no doubt Bobby idolizes Greg, his older brother by six years, and that Greg is intensely loyal to and protective of his little brother. But there were times where Bobby just was plain annoying and Greg needed to do his own thing. Such as when he was busy working out in the yard one morning, and Bobby pestered Greg with question after question about why he worked out, his technique and other commentary that Greg didn't particularly want or need.

Eventually, when Greg is trying to get Bobby to go away, Greg blurts out that he can do twice as many chin-ups as Bobby. That offends Bobby, and he demands that Greg ''prove'' that he's so much better ... and to make sure he's putting his money where his mouth is, he makes the classic "the winner gets to tell the loser to do what I say for a week." Greg again tries to brush Bobby aside, but when Bobby won't go away, Greg finally is forced into a corner and has to accept the bet.

Bobby works out as though he's training for the Army, while Greg is non-chalant, figuring he'll easily beat his little brother; in fact, he boasts to Peter that he's got some "big" things planned coming up. Come the day of the "big bet," Bobby does six chin-ups ... and Greg's arms give out at 11, one chin-up below the threshhold. The other siblings celebrate with Bobby while Greg sits there in disbelief.

One afternoon, Greg calls up this completely hot brunette named Rachel, realizes that both have had their eyes on each other for some time ... and a drive-in movie date is set up. Greg hangs up, only to find Bobby right there. He had listened in on the conversation and, out of the blue, decided ''he'' wants to go to the movies, too! Greg tries to push Bobby aside, saying that while he (reluctantly) agreed to be his slave for a week, he did not intend for it to include having him tag along on what he is hoping to be a completely hot date. Bobby runs to mommy and daddy to stick up for him and to make Greg allow him to go, while Greg – knowing exactly what's going to happen – tries to stop his bratty brother. In the end, Mike makes Greg take Bobby along on the date. Greg tries to cancel the date, but realizes he's has no choice but to concede and has to take Bobby with him.

* MomentKiller: It looks like Greg is going to be in for a huge night of lip wrestling with his sweetie, Rachel ... but then Bobby complains that he can't see. Then he's hungry and wants more popcorn ... on it goes, every time Greg and Rachel want to kiss.

Eventually, when Greg is trying to get Bobby to go away, Bobby blurts out that he can do at least half as many chin-ups as Greg. Greg chuckles out a "yeah, right" and shoos Bobby away. But Bobby is offended, and demands that Greg ''prove'' that he's so much better, and to make sure he's putting his money where his mouth is, he makes the classic "the winner gets to tell the loser to do what I say for a week."

Greg realizes he's lost this battle and takes Bobby with him.

In the end, Mike is very angry at Bobby, and admits that he's been nothing but a pest to Greg. Bobby apologizes and agrees to pay for a new top (even though Mike's insurance probably would foot the bill). Greg also takes responsibility, and then admits he loves his brother.

Wrong move, Greg. Bobby works out as though he's training for the Army, while Greg is non-chalant, figuring he'll easily beat his little brother; in fact, he's got some "big" things planned coming up.

Of course, Bobby is a pure pest throughout the week, and when Greg complains, Mike and Carol are (surprisingly) unsympathetic. But that pales in comparison to what happens next.

We'll never know, thanks to that cock-blocking younger brother of his. And Bobby played the part ''perfectly'' of spoiling Greg's moment, not to mention being the perfect AnnoyingYoungerSibling, in "'''TheBigBet'''."
