Thanks Missy - I missed Julie Chen's talk on Early show - I turned on the tv JUST as she finished discussing it~ one of the New York people (the weather guy I think) made a joke and walked off - so I knew she talked about it!!

She quit. She had been asking to leave the house even before Michelle nominated her. Although I think CBS and the powers that be knew it was in their best interest to make it seem like they controlled the situation. I think it was purely a PR move for them. Oh well!

She wanted to quit and rather than convince her to stay she was booted. I think that they were probably going to toss her after explaining to her that they were going to charge her for the mic pack. If she "truly" quit, wouldn't she have packed her stuff? I can't wait until Tuesday's show. As a side note, do we really need 7 threads about Chima and her eviction? Can someone maybe merge them together, or at least merge the ones with similar topic headings so we have maybe 3 instead?

She threatened to quit until BB got fed up and expelled her. I'm fine with it either way. Worst. Houseguest. Ever.

She got kicked out. She probably said something like "I'm not going to do what you're asking me to do. You'll have to kick me out." And so they did.

Chima quit, and my perspective is exactly the same as Chief's. Also, the houseguests said she quit. CBS/BB is doing the same thing they do with the TV show, creating a whole different reality, by claiming they removed her. Chima quit; CBS/BB is spinning it the way they want to. They did all they could to appease her just to keep her on the show despite her vile behavior, including rearranging a whole live show around her and not showing the public on the TV show her true behavior; so to now claim that they all of a sudden grew a pair, and to try to sell us on the spin they're not putting on it as if they took control of the situation, doesn't line up with my logic or sensibilities. We've all seen how BB doesn't take control of situations. They're spinning it.

I think BB kicked her out. It's just like a job you know your going to get fired so you say i quit. If Chima wanted to leave she would have packed her bags and left. That was not the case so in my eyes she was booted out.

Natalie just told Jeff that Chima was breaking rule after rule. Production was talking to her, and asked her to promise not to break any more rules. Chima said she wasn't going to promise not to break any more rules. Production said if you can't make that promise, then we are going to have to send you home. Chima said then I guess you'll have to send you home. So they did. Chima can spin it any way she wants, but I call that being kicked out.

The hamsters are saying she quit because BB won't confirm or deny. I say she got the boot, because she was in mid-meltdown, and didn't take her stuff, like Mango stated. Add her huff about the coup, acting like the producers were under her employ? Please. Buhbye.

Agree with those on the 'fired' side. You want to quit BB? You pack your things and head to the DR door and say you want a DOR. Chima was still fine when she thought she and Natalite controlled Michele. It was only after she received the nom, and she realized people weren't going to go after Russell for her, that she decided she couldn't take it any more. Turns out BB felt the same way. You just keep spinning away, Chima. There's always somebody who will listen.

Michele's HOH blog refers to Chima being expelled. They know she was booted.

Good point, Bic ~ If she had truly been stating "I quit BB", the HG's would be talking about how she quit instead of how she was booted. I know they only know what they were told but still, they aren't disagreeing with it and saying "but she stated she had quit".

I hope she is medicated and in a padded room while tonight's show airs . . . I don't think she's going to like it anymore than she liked being nominated.

A friend of mine just called to say that a preview of tonight's BB just aired, showing Chima freaking out and the other HGs holding her back. I haven't seen a reference to the preview, or it shown on CBS or YT yet, so it could be new. FYI.

Lexie, I'm trying to email you back but my hotmail account is giving me fits - I removed Internet Explorer a few days ago because of innumerable problems, and Netscape just does not like Hotmail. I need to install firefox or something. I'll work on it some more. I looked in the cabinets and all I have is liquid medication for tonight's show, unless I whipped up a fast calcium and Nyquil smoothie. Smirnoff and lemonade, with teriyaki chicken as an appetizer for me tonight.

Okay GAL... git-her-done (said in my best Texas accent)! I will sit here on pins and needles anticipating your e-mail. I've never thought about Nyquil. So maybe after I have my spaghetti dinner for tonight's show, I could cap it off with a Cherry Nyquil smoothie?

She was booted, Chima could of just walked out the door, she wasn't bound and gaged and tied to her bed or anything. Chima began to unravel and you could see her trying to get removed, she wanted to make AG look bad and make her out to be a liar so she could get the publicity she is getting now. I hope BB sues her butt for giving that interview and makes her look like the liar she is.

I don't think they'll crap on her for the one email or interview, she does have a very sympathetic history and nothing good is going to come from taking her apart for something that trivial, but I don't think AG would hesitate to actually give her the Silence of the Lambs treatment if she keeps it up.

Ya know....since her stay at the BB house was something she did under a contract with CBS, I'm sure there were legal steps that had to be taken in the event of her leaving the house voluntarily. It could be that CBS told her she could leave, but in order to do so she had to sign a form saying she understood all the legal obligations of walking away and beaching her contract. That contract probably included things about her stipend and nondisclosure agreement and other details like that. For instance, if you're in a hospital and you decide to leave before they want to discharge you, you have to sign a release form stating that you are knowingly leaving against doctor's orders. That protects the hospital from liability. IF that was the case, and IF she refused to cooperate and sign a release, she could have then been ejected by the producers. I would think that walking off the show would result in different ramifications than being ejected.....just like it does in a real "job" and BB is, in fact, a summer job. They get paid for being there whether they win or not and it appears they get free medical care while there. It is a "job" even if it is for just three months. If you walk away from a real job, you won't necessarily get a severance package and you won't necessarily be able to collect unemployment insurance. I don't think Chima is the type of person that would agree to sign a release form saying that she understands that by doing so, she is "breaching her contract". She's just looking at what she thinks is "fair" or "unfair" from a diva's point of view, which isn't something guaranteed in her contract. I doubt it says anywhere in that contract that the BB producers "promise to follow a standard of 'fairness' as defined by a hysterical house guest". I think she told CBS she wanted to leave, but refused to follow BB's rules for voluntarily leaving...so CBS fired her. They fired her for legal reasons. Simple. PS - I'm not a lawyer, I just watch actors play them on TV a lot.
