This deserves a bump. I thought it was very interesting and makes a lot of sense.

Chima, chima, we saw Russell also. You will not be able to cry foul. Too much on the feeds showing how you really are. Get over yourself. What a disappointment you were. You were one of my early favs, I wonder if you hadn't been rejected by Russ if we would have seen a different Chima. I hope you get the help you need.

I'll be interested in seeing what they air tomorrow night. Normally, the episode follows the house from Thursday's eviction up to the nominations. All of this went down AFTER the nominations. CBS's statement shows that they WILL address this. When Justin and Scott were tossed, they showed it on tv. When Neil asked to leave, they only briefly mentioned it because it wasn't a big issue and didn't involve the program. This is a big deal and directly involves the program. So, of course production will not ignore this. I am hoping that they will FINALLY not be afraid of Chima and give her the edit from Hell that she has earned. They should show all that she did, and all that she discussed doing...from messing with their stuff to not allowing them to do laundry to her saying that Russell is an extremist Muslim terrorist. They REALLY ought to let her have it. She brought this on herself, not the other way around. Chima NEVER should have been allowed on the show, and CBS/BB/AG will REALLY need to reassess their psych tests that they give prospective HGs. I've read where people felt that she shouldn't have been allowed in because of her rape. She was raped 10 years ago! Yes, it will ALWAYS be a part of her, but it shouldn't have factored in as to whether or not she was fit to compete in this series. That SHOULD have been found out in the various psych tests that they give the potential HGs. If it happened more recently, perhaps...but 10 years ago! If Lydia still works for Heather Mills, I hope that Heather learns of Lydia's behavior in this house and rethinks having her near her child. As much as I don't like Heather, I have nothing against the child and I had liked Lydia until now. I wouldn't want someone who could behave that way within a mile of my child. Wow. I can only hope that Lydia and Natalie will eventually wake up and come to their senses that they are acting like spoiled children. I haven't see it so far.. I mean I guess now THEY are calling Jeff and Russell terrorists? Is that right? Sheesh! If you are booted from the house you void all money earned. If you voluntarily leave, I'm not sure, but I seem to recall someone (Sheila maybe) in an earlier season contemplating asking for a DOR and the others saying that she'd lose all of her stipend. So if Chima has to pay for the mic pack that she ruined, not only has she ruined her reputation, but staying in BB actually COST her money! I read a post on Jokers from some "producer" who thinks CBS/BB/AG will "drop" the cost of the mic pack ($3,000 - $10,000) now that she's been booted and has forfeit the stipend that she had earned to date. Also, around that same time the person was thinking about quitting, I believe that someone read in the rule book that if a jury member leaves or is removed that BB can have "America" have a vote. So, I'm pretty sure "America" will now be the 7th vote so that there isn't a tie...unless either Lydia or Natalie leaves or gets booted.

She has at least one fact wrong - the coup d'etat HAS been a part of BB before. It wasn't used by Boogie in the All Stars, but it WAS part of the game. It wasn't a ploy to take away her power once she finally had some.

As crazy as that house is, the producers NEVER want the world to think or know that we houseguests DO LEAVE when it becomes futile to stay. Explain that, Chima. Futile to stay because unless you're guaranteed to win it's futile? You went in to play the game. There is only one winner (of the $500K) out of all the HGs. When I chose to play & play hard the power I did earn was completely usurped by a game piece never used before in this game and my HOH reign was rendered useless. Play hard? You said you quit. That's not playing hard. The CDE could have been used at the previous eviction. You did well for your side with your noms. There are two (changing) sides to this game. Viewers decided who was deserving of BB's CDE power -- which still could result in the eviction of only one HG. The game was far from over. Chima, as you said -- you ARE a quitter. That's OK. For that and other reasons, we are happy you are gone.

The thing that gets me is that Chima knew the CDE power was out there when she went for HOH. She could've thrown it and waited a week. She knew the power holder had allowed Ronnie to leave, so she had to know there was a good chance the holder didn't approve of her alliance. She chose to go for the HOH title knowing that power was still out there and would likely be opposing her. Bad choice if she wanted anything more than just lotions and pictures from home. Now she wants to act like she's been wronged by the producers. She chose to put herself in that position. She should've just been glad she at least got immunity from the CDE, not to mention the chance to play for HOH again. They were more than fair with her. The sense of entitlement is mind-boggling.

The thing that gets me Curly, is that if it had been someone on her side that got it and used it, she'd have thought it was the greatest game move ever. Heck, even Jesse, knowing he was done, was able to compliment Jeff on the good game move! And he was being evicted!

Chima <el> she is thinking that the producers created the CDE just to usurp her week of power. Jeff had the power the week before and chose not to use it. How would the producers know that Chima would win HOH the following week? Even though any reasonable person would see this, Chima obviously can't remember from week to week what is going on. <el> And I wouldn't compliment her by calling her a diva, she has done nothing in her life to earn that title. She is a diva wannabe. After her public display of bad behavior, I doubt she would be hired at a fast food joint.

Curly, one thing needs to be clarified. No one in the house actually knew what the "special power" was, except for Jeff. There was speculation, mostly started by Jesse, that it was the CDE, but no one knew for sure. So Chima couldn't have positively known that the holder of the power "allowed" Ronnie to leave. I mentioned this in another thread... if the shoe had been on the other foot, if Russell or Jeff was HOH and SHE held the CDE, things would have been very different. She certainly wouldn't have been crying foul then.

I find it humorous that Chima claims that she quit and wasn't removed. If you're going to quit, wouldn't you pack? If you get booted, your stuff is still going to be there and the others will have to gather them for you. Which of the 2 happened? More delusional thinking from one of the poorest sports in the history of BB. Congrats, Chima, you have the dubious distinction of being the first BB contestant removed for "rules violations" as opposed to violence, and the first from the "jury pool" to leave the game. Kudos. Good luck with that exposé on BB, and your career.

I wonder how Paul McCartney feels about Lydia watching his child? Lydia likes Heather and stated that on the show so I'm assuming Lydia works just for Heather. If I was Paul I'd be concerned.

I was just reading this article: http://www.examiner.com/x-3283... And in it it says "It was reported on this network that "Kevin" revealed on the live feed that Chima has been banned from all media sites owned by Viacom, CBS' parent company. , this includes, MTV, VH1, BET, etc. She has also been warned against slandering the BB production because they'll sue her. She told him "she has friends". Did Kevin really say this stuff on the feeds? If so, when? I want to go look it up on flashback.

Grandma and Grandpa need to grab Chima by the collar and tell her to sit down and shut up. No one wants to cause more grief to a person with her history, but she deserves to have the crap sued out of her if she keeps it up. And I think Allison Grodner is just the person to do it.

Never mind to my question. I found it. It's Aug 15, 11:51 AM, Cam 3. Kevin is at the counter with Michele.

So Kevin really did say those things? Strange, I wouldn't think they would tell the houseguests this stuff, particularly if they're all carrying on about how she wasn't ejected but left of her own volition.

Goddessatlaw, he was just stating what the rules were if they did the stuff Chima did or was planning to to do. Not that he actually knew she was banned from all of Viacom.

I think it was more like you can quit or we can remove you... it is easier to say that I have quit then to say I was removed...

So this is Chima's perspective, we all know that Chima does not have the ability to see beyond herself. It really doesn't matter whether she quit or if she was booted because she quit doing up to what she agreed to do (ie: wearing the microphone and whatever other rules). She is a quitter. Nobody did this to her, she did it to herself.

Turned out Chima didn't have what it took to play the game "hard"!! The producers showed her who was boss, finally. (Of course, they took their sweet time reeling her in because her temper tantrums were good TV.)

I think in Chima's mind it just got to the point of no return. She had gotten away with so much and none of the threats were followed though on so she decided to go for the goal in her own mind and become the victim. It has probably worked for her in the real world and therefore she felt entitled. Even Al Sharpton couldn't save her this time she has way to much evidence against her (24 hour cameras). I do not believe for one second that she will ever take responsibility for her own actions, it's not in her nature. Lardbrick, they had to take time reeling her in so they had enough video of her actions to prevent any chance that her threats could be used against them. I know when we have students who continually misbehave and want them kicked out it becomes really hard to do without a paper trail. If you want something to stick you have to have enough proof that there is no loop hole that could possibly be used.

Yeah, she is pretty much DONE with anything Viacom owns or is affiliated with. They could really "mess with her" if they wanted to, which is what she had claimed they were doing anyway (yeah, the banana suit was really just a yellow KKK hood...oy) because Viacom has a lot more "friends" than Chima could begin to imagine.
