I didn't understand why it was so important for Kevin to show his loyalty to Chima, either. These people don't seem to understand that once the POV ceremony is over, the HOH has no power! And since he held the POV, she had NO power over him! I hope there comes a time when Lydia can do the same thing to Kevin.

In fairness to Kevin, it's not just Chima-- it's Jesse and Natalie too, and he doesn't know that one of them will probably be gone on Thursday. What has Lydia done to help Kevin's game? I don't think anyone owes another player the POV. No one blamed Jeff when he took himself down, causing Jordan to go up. Right now, Ch/J/N seem like the strongest alliance in the house. K had the right to do what he thinks will keep him safe. Having said that, I would have used it on my BFF in the house (or at least hope I would).

Merry, I think he doesn't want Chima to hold it against him later in case she gets the power again. I think he is between a rock and a hard place with the veto this week.

And I don't get Michelle at all. Does she really not remember telling Russel about Chima? Or is this just game play? Why didn't she say "russel, you broke a confidence, that's why I won't confide in you again. Accuse me of lying all you want, the girls believe me." I believe they already showed a DR clip in a previous show where Michele pretty much admitted that, so she wasn't being crazy or forgetful. I think the reason Michele couldn't admit that in the clip they showed tonight was because Jeff was right there listening to them. (This was when Jeff thought that Michele might have directed an "F* you" at him as she was leaving.)

I think Kevin was weighing the risk of Lydia going against making enemies in the house. Kevin knows Russell is being targeted, and so far this year, the pawn has not been booted as in past seasons. Kevin prolly thinks Lydia won't go anyway, so why cause damage to himself AND Lydia as a team over something that most likely won't happen anyway??? Lydia is one of those "worryiers"...I think she deals with depression a lot and is a bit self focused... If she would listen to Kevin, she would actually hear what he is saying... but she's too wrapped up in her own self pity... poor poor Lydia...*insert eye roll here*

I think CBS showed Russell say that he was of Lebanese descent back when they first introduced the HGs. Still, had they showed him in the DR talking about it, it probably would have made Chima look worse. Maybe with all of her bluster and threats, CBS is weary of her and don't want to give her more ammo. So instead, they show Russell yelling at the HGs. I think there is a BIG difference between yelling at people and "terrorizing" them. I also think that's a BIG leap to call an Arabic person a "terrorist." What if he had used a slur against her? I agree with Russell that Chima is a MAJOR hypocrite.

No doubt in my mind that Chima's comment was meant to be in reference of his race and not a term to denote that Russell was "terrorizing" the house. She's a bigot no doubt in my mind.

you are correct leafsweetie...she only "clarified" the use of terrorist b/c KEVIN reminded her of the live feeds and how that would be portrayed across america...then and only then did she clarify/backpedal as to why a "terrorist"...she had been calling him one for days prior w/o the clarification of terrorizing the hg....

Russell will backstab Jeff in a heartbeat if it means he stays in the game longer - why do you think he went to Jesse in the pantry? He's trying to mend fences just in case. I kept asking the same question over and over again - why does anyone worry about "honoring the HoH's wishes"??? The HoH has no power the following week. Screw the HoH - who is booted out of the house should be the vote of the HG, not the vote of the HoH (since they have no vote except in a tie).

So I've written to CBS and explained why I think their covering up of Chima's "terrorist" claims is disgusting. Wonder if they'll toss it in the trash?

If I was Kevin I would have said, "I don't know who the wizard is, but as POV holder I am safe, so I am keeping it." It would have been easier for the entire house to accept that explanation.
