Admit it. You don't want to wait until Sunday night ... or maybe even Tuesday night to hear about the big drama going on in the Big Brother 11 house. Sure, the real happenings in the house are usually a few days ahead of the actual airing of the shows.Yes, the nominations have already happened. But that's not even the major news of the day. I'm talking huge. I'm talking BB history annals big. I'm talking drama, I'm talking excitement. But, unless you want to know major spoilers, be warned that show-changing news is beyond the jump.
Okay, let me just give you a bit of background first. Michele, the head of household, nominated Chima and Natalie for eviction on Friday night. Wait ... that's just last night? Whatever could have happened which has me busting onto TV Squad to share the news?
Well, the gals aren't taking it too well. Everything was fine and dandy when they were riding the wave. But now that they've crashed, it's America's fault. It's the production staff's fault. The world is against them and they just can't understand why special snowflakes like themselves aren't revered by all. Natalie turned to the rules book, trying to find any loophole which says, "Natalie and Chima are special snowflakes. They are not to be nominated for eviction."
Chima went another route. She hid under the covers crying and muttering for a few hours. Then, when she emerged, she was full of vitriol -- mostly aimed at other houseguests, production, and her microphone. Yes, the innocent little microphone pack took a hot tub visit.
The feeds were blocked when executive producer Allison Grodner arrived on set. But when they returned ... ding dong, the witch is gone. Whether she voluntarily dropped out of the show or got the boot, we don't know. How it will affect this week's planned double eviction, I don't know. I do know that Chima has left the building.

She is so hateful. Good riddance. Whatever accusations she made about people like Russell or Braden (deserved or not), she could easily accuse herself a thousand times over.

I'm going to add to this... I don't care much for Jessie, and I'm glad he's gone, and hope he stays gone. But on the other hand, when he got booted last Thursday, and even though he hated it through and through, he didn't go against the wishes of BB or the BB rules.
Jessie can go out with an itty-bitty bit of dignity and grace (overlooking the silly T-shirt and blaming America). But here is Chima making Jessie look mature. What a crazy season this has become!
I wonder if production will tell Jessie what happened, or if he'll be in the dark about it all until the next person is evicted and sent to the jury house.

As much a tool as Jesse is, I think he went out with a good amount of dignity. He told Jeff that it was a smart move and said the same thing to Julie.
I don't think he blamed America for causing him to get booted, but rather blamed America for picking Jeff, which is in fact true. America did pick Jeff and if I voted in these things I would have picked Jeff as well.
The three girls, especially Chima, should be ashamed of themselves. I wonder when it will hit them that their friends and family were watching them the whole time.
This is a game for $500k and they act like petulant children when the tide turns against them. It's no wonder they found a comrade in Ronnie.
As usual, my respect goes for those that have their eye on the prize and didn't enter the house to make friends. Right now Michelle is at the top of that list. She was a floater for a while, and could have taken the path of least resistance nominating Jeff and Jordan, but made the strategic choice nominating Chima and Natalie, knowing that they would forget about who nominated them and still focus their anger on Russel and Jeff.

Although I was never a fan of that side of the house (Jessie, Natalie, Lydia, etc), Chima was the one who I did kind of like because she seemed to be pretty smart.. However, once the racist comments started and didn't stop, any liking I had for her was gone.. The little tantrum Chima, Natalie, and Lydia threw the past couple of the days was ridiculous.. Suddenly they didn't have the power, their friend was gone, so the world was unfair.. Yet for three weeks in a row Jeff and Jordan saw their friends being taken out one by one and they never acted like total sore losers.. Those are the players who should win this game.. They were at the bottom many times, but they never gave up, and now they are sitting in a good spot..
It sucks that someone with such an amazing story life made a fool out of herself for everyone to see.. What she did to Braden was wrong too.. I'm not condoning what Braden did, but in the heat of the moment things are said that shouldn't be said.. He apologized to Kevin, but still Chima had to call him out.. And the past few days Chima repeatedly referred to Russell as a terrorist, and herself as the Twin Towers.. With no apology or anything.. How hypocritical..

This season has been one big wake up call hopefully to start finding houseguests with at least a small amount of stability and maturity.You cannot have this show survive and prosper on outbursts,shouting matches and childish behavior alone!Every season they have to pull together almost all children,regardless of age,who go on the air and make total fools of themselves.It becomes unwatchable and ultimately too predictable.Train wrecks only work when you DON'T ecpect them.When the show reaches a point where the production must interfere over and over and even remove someone,or they choose to be removed,something is damned wrong!

Wow...
Last season, Dan made Ollie so mad that Ollie wrecked the backyard, and we all though THAT was horrible. But Princess Chima makes Ollie (BB10) look like a innocent misunderstood sweetie. (That's saying a lot, 'cause I'm not an Ollie fan either.)

And Chima did what to deserve the power she thought she had...nothing! Jeff hung for more than 4 hours then made a really smart deal with Russell. He has also acted like a human being in the house, not like he was better than everyone else.

Chima won the HOH competition! Its like I'm talking to myself.. She won her power.. do you want her to save a child form a cliff? Jeff is the one who didn't do anything for his "Super Awesome Fuck You HOH power"
If i remember correctly Chima was hanging in there with the boys in that extremly physical competition..

Winning HoH, isn't the only way to play this game. Look at Will Kirby from season two. He purposely threw competitions and let his alliance run interference for him. Even if Jeff never got this power, as Jesse said, he wasn't in their sights yet. Staying in the house is the object and sometimes to stay in the house, you have to let others win competitions.

I kinda liked Chima and was rooting for her.. She was a bit immature but she said whatever she wanted to say to your face.. none of this behind closed doors garbage. If she had a problem with you she was there to confront you.. she didn't care if you were ostracized by the rest of the house if she was your friend she was still your friend..
I'm actually surprised so many people strongly dislike her. Not lydia who is curled up with any and every man in the house and turns into a weeping mess every time she is rejected and still goes back for more. Not Jordan who is not even playing the game! she is content with just being Jeff's girl. She is a waste! Michelle has no idea what she is doing! Shes doing what Jeff Jordan and Russ want.. does she know her place in that hierarchy!?
Im sure Chima would have gone all the way if she kept her emotions in check. She could have gotten Michelle on her side if she calmed down and pushed the Wonder Women alliance.

"I'm actually surprised so many people strongly dislike her."
I'm not. For a girl who is supposed to be smart, she couldn't have made worse blunders. At least Jesse had his head in the game, by warning Ronnie lay low and telling Chima to be aware of the secret power.
She let Michelle play her. Michelle, who takes flak for being a floater has actually played the game brilliantly. She went from a potential target to putting Russell and Chima at each others throat and was probably the sole reason Chima put him up.
Then to top it off, she whines like a spoiled brat when things don't go her way. Honestly, I don't see many reasons why anyone would like her.

Chima was a bigger racist than anyone in the house, yet accused others of it. She is also a man hater. I think whenever things don't go Chima's way, others pay the price. All these weeks she has been sitting pretty (even acted the house princess while HOH), and didn't like the feeling of not being on top. Too bad crybaby.

Chima wasn't happy on Thursday's "Live" show either so this news isn't a big surprise. Although, I love it! lol I'm glad she's gone but how will this affect the show? Good ole humanistic drama. Maybe they should put some regular folks in that house instead of fame seeking nutjobs. lol

SWEET! When Michelle won HOH I was devastated because I thought Jeff was going to get evicted(yeah I'm rooting for him) because Michelle was so in with Chima( Anyone else notice the cowardly Kevin taking directions from Chima during the HOH comp.?) now I see Michelle is a CRA-AAZEE wildcard who totally stabbed Chima and Natalie in the back! Et Tu Brutus?!WOW WOW WOW I didn't see any of this coming, the game has been turned on it's head just by that. I did notice that when Jeff used his power first thing Princess Chima said was that she and the producers were going to be having a "talk" about Jeff cheating. I knew there was going to be trouble, but not like this!FANTASTIC!
This is what I hope, that they don't even bother putting anyone else up this week, just send Natalie packing!
Michelle has now become a big threat, let's see how much longer she lasts because she has proven she will play the game at any cost, and say and do anything.

I hope they bring back Jesse. I don't like the guy but he was playing a great until cbs pull one other idiotic twist that impact the game of good players. BB should not be a popularity contest. Giving power to a dumb guy like Jeff is bad for the game. I don't want players trying to be sympatic to gaine the public advantage.

While I am glad that Jeff got the power, I can see your point. They did this a few seasons ago when they had America bring the popular Kasir back, only for him to make a stupid move and get kicked out on the same day.
Then again, BB has done this so often over the years that one could say that this should be an expected part of the game and that one should employ their strategy of deception not just against the other house guests, but against America itself.
