But for now everything she does in the house (in her mind) is a step closer to that prize money. I suspect this is not true for her -- or for most HG's in almost all of the seasons. I really doubt her little plan to play the childhood game of "ditch" Russell after the Veto meeting is based on any thought of getting her to the end. It is solely based on attacking Russell because she is angry with him. There are those few who are master-strategists who watch and plan most of their moves, even on a daily basis. Dr. Will was one of these. But for most of the HG's in all seasons, I think they make decisions more based on what is happening at the moment not based on what will best get them to the end, no matter what they may say after the fact. And most of those decisions are emotion based, not logic based.

Well, that is a sad truth, isn't it, Idol?

I think he planned out most of his moves and really thought out everything he did. I think Chima loves the attention. Part of me thinks that's the motive behind making any sort of scene over the power. She loves the limelight and attention.

She doesn't want and doesn't think Russ can do anything for her so she's milking it. It's game. She's a pretty thick skinned chick when she wants to be. They are all in the house for the money. If we lose sight of that we can then begin to see all sorts of things like true love and incompetency where none really exist.

I'm imagining that the HGs are hoping that Chima will do herself in so that it will be one less eviction plot for them to plan. She's picked the wrong place to advance her theories, whether they be correct or not. This is all about winning $$$ and it is dog-eat-dog...

CBS or BB aren't going to boot her if she has a tantrum, they'll love it, makes for great TV. They'll let her have a few minutes of ranting and than Julie will cut her off and say we'll be right back with the live votes. When the camera goes off they'll basically say Chima if you want your snipids for being on the show sit down and shut up. They'll come back and have the vote and it will all be over and done with.

Jagger, yep, that's how I'd see it come down as well. But only after we see a 2-3 minute retrospect on her anger and threats to do this building over several days. CBS might as well milk her for all she is worth.

Chima was put on the show to be the outrageous black woman. I think most of the "that's racist" remarks are made with her tongue in her cheek. Chima is giving BB exactly what they want. I believe that Chima is a mature woman that is taking this opportunity to behave like a spoiled brat; this is something that she knows does not really fly in the real world. With that being said, I personally do not find that behavior entertaining but I am sure that some do.

I agree that CBS will let Chima embarrass herself on live tv as long as they have the censor button. Chima's sense of entitlement is only equalled by her immaturity. She is ruining her career chances in the future because all she does is complain and lose her composure. Who wants to hire someone like that? Also, who would put her on a red carpet when she has a tendency to go off on people? She has shown no common sense, composure or maturity. go ahead Chima, dig your own career grave. We will have the last laugh and it won't sound as awful and annoying as yours.

If Chima has a hissy fit on the live show it will be bad for Chima's reputation and bad for her game strategy, but it will make for GOOD TV! It's a win/win.

I disagree, it is not good tv in my opinion. In fact, most people I know don't appreciate these wild rantings. We are much more interested in some good strategy or humor.

If she goes off on the TV show, even before her career gets screwed up, she's in doo-doo on the show. She can't play for HOH. Most likely either Jesse or Nat will be gone, so only one of them will be playing. That leaves Russell, who currently is being called a terrorist by Chima. Guess who he'd put up? Chima put up Lydia too, so if Lydia gets HOH, Chima's on the block. J/J would both put her up for her trying to tell Jeff/balckmail Jeff to not use the power. That leaves Kevin and Michele. Chima has done nothing to be their buddies either. I think Chima goes up for sure unless whoever survives between Jesse/Nat wins.

The sad thing about what Chima said is that Al Sharpton will be more than glad to take up her cause. He loves the camera and will jump at the chance to be on tv and complain and threaten everyone. Also she thinks she will make a lot of money suing. She is a sick person IMO.

No time to read every thing, ... Someone needs to tell he. The name of the show is : Big Brother, not Big Chima!

They have not stopped her from ruining the live feeds all weekend by talking about forbidden topics they will let her try to ruin the live show. Hope they cut her mike and go to commercial and when they come back she is locked either outside or in the HOH.

She's not talking aout "forbidden topics" per se. They can talk about anything they want. However, some topics cannot be broadcast for whatever reason deemed by the broadcaster. If a person they are talking about hasn't signed a waiver, they have to block it out. However, if they spent all summer editing themselves you would never get any natural conversation and the HG's would never learn anythng about each other. It is a shame it spoils viewing but it's just a fact of live streaming according to CBS. Talking about production and Diary room is really the only "forbidden" topic.

I bet CBS is excited about Chima's threat to ruin the live show. I know if I was production I would be. But whenever you get excited in anticipation of an event it doesn't usually pan out to be as exciting as you thought it would be or it doesn't happen. I imagine that CBS might even be "suggesting" to Jeff what he should do with it. I hope we are not disappointed.

I recall reading once some years back that BB contestants are under contract for 2 years after the LAST episode of the season. By under contract, I mean that they can't appear on any other "reality show" within that period of time, or engage in a project that "competes with" or "damages" CBS/BB. I think it's standard, and American Idol has a really NASTY contract that gets worse the deeper you get into the show (as you make it through more and more rounds, they give you new and different contracts to sign. People who balk at it, are often eliminated or removed. CBS/BB uses the contract to bring the HGs back to host events, promote the show, or follow ups (aka "What Are They Now" segments.) They can be released from the contract at any time if CBS chooses to do so. I also seem to recall that if you win BB then the contract is automatically extended an additional year so 3 years total. So, if Chima wants to write a book, unless she is released from her contract, I don't think she can write release it for 2 years after the LAST episode of the season. Unless she wins (ha!) and then it's 3 years from the LAST episode. I could be wrong, but that's what I recall reading one of the former HGs stated in a post BB interview a year or so after their season. It's been so long, that I'm not quite sure. Heck, it could have been one of the Survivor people and/or came out in one of the law suits against CBS.

"Russell, who currently is being called a terrorist by Chima" Is she not making racial slurs toward Russell? So is that excusable in her mind? Seems to me chima is just going for face time on tv. CBS should just cut her mike if she blows. But am sure they will just zoom in .

I'm wondering why they don't simply switch to another camera feed, instead of shutting all four off, when the houseguests sing, or mention unwanted topics?

I don't know either Idolworship but BB should be able to put a stop to the behavior. I could care less what Chima does on the live show but I do care that we are constantly getting FISH because of her behavior. BB needs to get tough.

When I think of Chima going off on the live show, I see two grim reapers with butterfly nets just outside of camera range ready to capture Chima. It would scare them all witless. Hmmm maybe they need signs that say for Chima only.

Ah, I got it! CBS is going to let Chima run her mouth and stir up our interest. That's=rating gold! Under the water level, they could have every scenario Chima blabs about all worked out and ready for them?
