The hit sitcom "The Big Bang Theory" season 7 premiered on last Thursday, with two back to back episodes. Penny (Kelly Cuoco) and Sheldon (Jim Parsons) were seen spending some quality time, together in the first episode of "The Big Bang Theory" Season 7. In the second episode, Leonard (Johnny Galecki) returned from the North-Sea, which put an end to Penny and Sheldon's bonding time.

Raj (Kunnar Nayyar) was able to talk to women without needing the assistance of alcohol. But, Raj was better off with his inability to speak in front of women, without a sip of alcohol. In the second episode of the new season, Howard (Simon Helberg) kept complaining about his weight gain and became a highly emotional kind because of his mother's cream tube that had high estrogen level.

An estimated total of 20.44 million viewers tuned in to watch the two premiere episodes of "The Big Bang Theory" Season 7.

The third episode of "The Big Bang Theory" Season 7 is "The Scavenger Vortex." It is all set to tickle the audience funny bones by showing the "ultimate scavenger hunt," which has been designed by Raj.

"When the entire gang competes in a scavenger hunt designed by Raj, it brings out the best - and worst - in everyone," according to the official synopsis released by CBS.

In the promo video, one can hear Sheldon screaming: "My brain is better than everybody." Is he going to win the scavenger hunt? It seems the hunt has turned Leonard cranky as he asks Bernadette (Melissa Rauch) to "back off."

It looks like the highlight of the third episode of "The Big Bang Theory" Season 7 is the first scene together of Howard and Amy (Mayim Bialik), minus the usual gang. Mayim had wished to do a one-to-one scene with Simon and it is coming true in the third episode. The promos suggests that Amy and Howard are enjoying their time together.
