The power said he overthrows her nominations, not that he becomes HOH. That he takes the HOH's power away not the "office", so he still plays for HOH. The only unclear thing is when he votes, either as a regular player or if there is a tie.

No Lillian, that doesn't make sense that Chima would have any power at all after being overthrown...that would be silly...why have a coup and then give the person you overthrow power. Nope no voting for Chima. The overthrown is lucky to be kept alive. I never heard mention of partial coup happening. It's a regular coup where the HOH is overthrown and a new power comes in not called the HOH.

lol Lilfair I actually think that in the end we're expecting the same thing to happen. Guess we'll just have to wait until Thursday to see what happens.

If Jeff becomes the HoH if he uses the power than all of his plans are for naught, since he would not be able to vote to evict Jessie and Chima would vote to evict Lydia. He also loses the right to be HoH the next week, whereas Chima can be it 2 weeks in a row. Seems like too much for Jeff to lose if all of you are right that he actually becomes the HoH (which is not my understanding) (Of course, if Chima is not HoH and Jeff is, then he can put her up with Jessie!
)

The two powers Jeff gains as CDT is the power to overturn the HOH's nominations and the power to break a tie. Neither Chima or Jeff can vote. Chima as HOH this week can't play for HOH next week. Jeff can still play for HOH.

I just don't get why people think that Jeff can't vote. That's leaving only 5 people to vote, an awfully small pool, and of course it means a tie is impossible anyway.

Lillian -- if it is true that Jeff becomes HoH, he won't be able to vote nor will he be able to play for next week's position. Chima would no longer be HoH and could do both.

What, I see that, but the same people who are saying he won't be HOH and therefore is eligible to go for it after Thursdays vote are also saying that he will not be able to vote if he uses the CDE. There's also the theory that *neither* Chima or Jeff will be able to vote.

What - how could Chima vote to evict Lydia when Jeff will most likely put Natalie and Jessie on the block? Jeff does not become the HOH, he just becomes the nominator (said in my best terminator voice).

Archie I also thought that they should just tape it an hour earlier, leave feeds off and then have their quickly edited "live" show at the regular time. They would be able to imply that it was working around some importan event at 8pm eastern and she couldn't really do anything about that.

Jeff doesn't become HOH if he overthrows the nominations and makes two new ones. He is simply the Coup d'etat. Chima had her HOH week and she doesn't get to compete again and I don't think she will be allowed to vote if Jeff changes the nominations but I think he will be able to. And of course the two new nominations can't vote either.

The best part is I think Chima thinks only one of her nominations is going to be changed. I don't think she knows that both of them can be changed. They keep talking about Jessie going up - I don't think it has dawned on them that it could be both Jessie and Nat.

Right, Seamonkey, it seems to be a "no-brainer" to me. Chima has caused them enough grief on live TV.

Jani has tweeted the Coup rules from All-Stars and as it was then Chima remains HoH and gets no vote and can not play for HoH. Jeff doesn't get a vote (because he just placed the person/persons on the block) unless it is a tie- and he can play for HoH. Basically Jeff over throws the POWER of HoH not the position of Hoh. Make sense?
