I expect to see Al Sharpton on tv tomorrow. He loves silly cases like this. Gets him some publicity. He doesn't care about the case or if he wins or loses, he just wants his face on tv. It's a shame really. When he was running for President, I realized how smart he really is and how funny he can be. But he is too obsessed with this racial ranting.

I don't know how anyone can spin this into a racial issue against Chima. She was the one spouting racial epithets.

Exactly, Merrysea. There are over 1,000 hours of videotape from every angle possible that disproves every damn thing Chima says.

Oh Merrysea, you obviously don't know too much about Al Sharpton. He can turn anything into a racial issue.

So let me get this straight: Chima defends her actions during the game, yet takes no responsibility for the sheer man-hatred for a fellow contestant that went beyond game-play? Others have been kicked off the show for worse? To my memory, only 1 had been kicked off the show for behavior not accepted in the BB House. In all honesty, it looks to me like she was one of those who only watched the watered-down version of this game, ignored the fact that this game is IN FACT followed a HELL of a lot more closely than she ever thought possible, and assumed that she could get what she wanted, when she wanted, and when that didn't happen, she did what another poster here said, took her toys and left the sandbox. Here's my response to this statement: Dear Chima- You had no clue what you were getting yourself into when you signed on to play this game, did you? As a journalist, isn't it YOUR responsibility to RESEARCH your subject with a fine-tooth comb? Remember what happened when legendary CBS anchorman Dan Rather used poor judgement in backing a story that was later proven to be a falsehood? If it was a scoop you were trying to get about how to man-hate in a game and think you can play by your own rules at the same time, guess what! You failed miserably, and the entire world was witness to your self-destructive ways in all its self-absorbed glory. I don't feel sorry for you. I feel sorry for your grandparents. Now go, find another story to work on, and maybe next time, you need to do some honest-to-goodness RESEARCH.

Chima was a poor sport all along. Remember when she first was a have not and she whined and whined and flipped out? That's when I first started not liking her. I don't know Al Sharpton at all. Never heard of him. What show is he on?

Chima's true colors were shown early on when she was a have not. Things started going her way after that and she became tolerable. She went down hill again when things weren't going her away anymore. Basically she didn't do well in mind or spirit when she was up against a wall, so to speak. Could you imagine taking her camping?

I think she is a sore loser. I agree things went downhill fast for her when she was a have not. However, later on we heard several of them talking about sequester before the game started and she was very demanding in sequester. Big Brother should have known then that it wouldn't end well.

Thanks Yankeefan. I just read about him on Wikipedia. I was not impressed. He can have Chima.

I wouldn't call him a political figure, I call him an activist, and a racial inciter. Although he looks upon himself as someone who is a uniter. (LOL)

I think Sharpton is an opportunist - he loves the spotlight, and he loves to have an audience when he speaks. His whole agenda seems to be about finding new ways to get on tv and in front of microphones.

Chima achieved the "fame" needed, to advance her writing career, in record-time. No need to stay on, in the house. Melt down, and get yourself kicked out, to receive all of the attention/rewards you feel you deserve. After all, a real Princess deserves the spotlight...even if some of her "subjects" can see through her shallow exterior.

While I don't disagree with some of the things being said about the man, I just don't see Al Sharpton getting involved. I believe he would see her "Terrorist/ Mideastern Comments" as racist too. JMO

Further to my comment above, while I do see Sharpton as an opportunist, he is also savvy enough to know when he's got a position and when he doesn't. Aside from the argument that Chima was more prejudiced than anyone in the house, she's small potatoes in Sharpton's world. This may be all-consuming for us fans, but few beyond us would be at all interested, and Sharpton's breath would be wasted. Remember than his last moment of grandstanding was with the Jackson family after all.

Skydiver, I have to use some of Kate Gosselins famous words and ask "what planet are you on?" Al Sharpton is a famous civil rights leader that ran for president and is kind of famous for stepping into anything that screams racism. Right now, I think President Obama is trying to steer him in the right direction to use his energy in a positive way and has him teamed up with former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich to work on public education reform.

Meant to add, I don't think he with his new agenda, he has time for the likes of Chima. Not this year anyway.

Well, if Al's too busy, maybe Omarosa can take up Chima's cause . (Two peas in a pod if ever.)

When I saw the title of this topic, I thought it meant Chima had been seen by a Medical Examiner.

"Chima achieved the "fame" needed, to advance her writing career, in record-time. " I wonder...she's supposed to be a "journalist" but she has shown herself to be unable to see past her own agenda or her own biases. I don't think her BB house actions will help her journalism career, but maybe she can get a job at the Weekly World News.

Holly, I don't think Omarosa will have time for Chima now that she's preparing to go to seminary school for two years. She'll be busy studying for the ministry.

Queenfish, doubt she will be able to do much for at least 3 years, they are under contract for that long. Everyone else who has been removed had disappeared from view almost permanently, LOL. Not that I am saying they get whacked, just we never really hear about them again unless they get arrested.
