I understand your frustration but at the same time it's what I have been saying all along. Without Jessie, the other side was absolute crap. Them getting Jessie to begin with was unfair and the coup d'etat was equally unfair. Neither should have happened. Look what happened to the other side as soon as Jessie is out of the game........Chima is gone and now Natalie will be gone. If not for Jessie entering the game in week 1, I can say confidently that Chima and Natalie would have been out earlier then they are now. Sure some people can say the coup d'etat was unfair.......but Jessie being in the game in the first place was unfair too as the athletes easily were the dominating team. The first HOH was catered to the athletes. Did CBS honestly think the brains were going to win the first HOH with the way the competition was. They skewed it for the athletes to win. I'm not saying you are right or wrong Machiavelli. I am just saying that CBS screwed up twice this season.......letting Jessie in, and the coup d'etat.

With all that said.......I am so glad Jordan won HOH! I would have had no problem with Jessie going far in the game as he had class and was a good player. But Chima is gone and now Natalie will be and I can't stand either one! I just hope Jordan realizes the keys she puts in the nomination box are the people she wants safe and not nominations. I can see her forgetting to put in Jeff and Michelle's keys and be like Jeff and Michelle you are safe. LOL!!!!

Read the rest of the thread LOL.

But here is what happened:

Michelle won HOH and put up Natalie and Chima. Chima had a fit and called Russell racist names and then threw a microphone in the water and did not obey Big Brother's announcements so Big Brother expelled her (kicked her out of the house). Because of this, they held a new HOH and Jordan won it and she will get to put up two new nominee's.

Ok, so did this all happen off air? (On the feeds?) Or was there a show with this.

I will admit I'm watching this show for the first time ever since the first season, because it's something for my mom and me to do, but I'm getting into it. (eep)

[Zarathustra]

I thought Jesse was cool, up until the point that he revealed that terrible shirt before his eviction which had a picture of him in a bodybuilding comp. and said "the man, the myth, the legend" or something. LAME!

[DOK]

Everything happened off tv. On tv, Michelle won the head of household and we were left with that. What happened after is that Chima lost her nut on the live feeds and cbs blocked out the feeds and when it came back Chima was no longer there. Cbs gave out a statment saying Chima was evicted for not following the rules. Everything else was done in the house - Jordan winning hoh, on the feeds.

[Machiavelli]

I agree, OILFAN. The season was screwy to begin with; I had my reservations at the start. The cliques were stupid, the extra player with the competition rigged to favour Jessie's entry into the house was stupid, but the Coup D'Etat was the stupidest part of it all.

Luckily school starts up for me again and I won't have as much free time, because I refuse to watch the rest of this season. I totally think Vanilla Oatmeal Michele will win the game.

[OILFAN #81]

I already knew what happened by watching the online feeds, but watching the show tonight........man, the 3 witches acted as if Jessie was dead and not evicted. Kevin said it best......Jessie tried to get Chima and Lydia out yet they are crying for him? So glad Chima is gone and Natalie will be this week (unless she wins POV which is doubtful).

[d_phaneuf]

Ya I thought tonight's show would end with Chima being removed

They are gonna have a lot of stuff to show on tuesday, Chima getting kicked out, new HoH contest, new nominations, new PoV

[DOK]

I think they'll have time to cover it all because thursday is supposed to be a double eviction. So if it's only going to be a single eviction, it frees up space for the Chima gong show.

I LOVED Kevin's face when the girls were crying over Jessie being gone. He was priceless.

[KTown]

I still don't understand why people think what happened this year is o.k.

Americas player was cool, because that person knew he had no choice throughout the game.

This coup thing was just stupid. The power was completely out of there hand. It was in the voting public, talk about looking for cheap ways to get the ratings up, to me I think it will backfire on them more than anything.

PS Michelle has to be the stupidest player ever in this game. For a brain surgeon she sure doesn't have any street smarts she will be out #4 and that is that. Like she thinks she can beat Russel or Jeff in a tough competitition. Her toughest competitor is Jeff and Russel not Chima, Chima is a loose cannon and would have never gotten votes from the jury if she decided to play it out and survive. Michelle will not win against Russel or Jeff.

The game has taken on a stupid twist. I can live with other twists but man they are so desperate right now.

P.S. thank you BB for wasting 10 minutes of my life with Jeff and Jordans stupid wedding proposal.

I am done watching this show for this year after Tuesday's temper tantrum, let the boredom begin.

I think I'd rather watch desperate housewives with the old lady.

Jeff/Jordan have already talked about getting Russell out after Jordan won HOH. They want to get Natalie out and then Russell.

[DOK]

I think what happened was ok because it's all part of the game. They've done goofy stuff like this before and they'll do it again. Of course they need ratings, and when they ask America to vote, they know they will get the popular vote. I don't see that as fixing the game or anything, just logical. This is a game show with strict rules and guidelines. Fixing or rigging a game show with a cash prize can result in jail time. There's no way they could have predicted that Jeff would fall in love with Jordan and that he would use the power like he did. He could have easily sat on it and not used it because the nominees didn't affect him or Jordan at all. I'm sure they wanted him to use it, and look at the aftermath now that he did. You can't tell me that was pre determined?

It is a show, and they do need ratings, the love story is cheezy, but so is the tyrant stories as well. It's what gets us hooked, and don't forget about all the housewives and 15 year old girls out there watching the show, JUST for Jeff and Jordan. We're not playing Jeopardy here.

Chima wrote an email to some newspaper explaining in her view why she left

Hi Thomas. Yes, I did in fact quit the show, although there are reports on EW from CBS to the contrary. Big Brother would like everyone to believe I was kicked off for not following the rules, but I went to the producers repeatedly over the past couple of days wanting to leave....wanting out of that house!

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. I lost faith in the show & my ability to remain committed to this game. All of the remaining housemates know I wanted to leave and that is why any conversation concerning me is cut in the live feed because they don't want America to hear the truth about my voluntary departure.

Do you really believe that I would be expelled for tossing my microphone when past houseguests have only been kicked off for violence & threats of violence? You know better, as do I.

It's better that I left. I did what was best for me in this game and that was to leave. 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. I have no regrets. As cliche' as it sounds, until the public is a part of a human pressure cooker, then the judgements should cease.

I find it interesting that my personal attacks on Russell have been highlighted, but his attacks on me pushed under a rug. Selective portrayals? I think so. Russell did terrorize the house, especially the women in the house. Why America constantly finds men attacking women okay, yet vilifies the woman defending herself, will always confound me. But what's done is done, now BB fans can find a new woman to hate. I didn't sign up for what I was exposed to & I left gladly. It was the principle of the matter, the $500,000 prize be damned. That's all for now! Take Care...'

She is delusional, I kind of feel bad for her when she reads what people who summarize the live feeds are saying about her, and what the general public thinks about her. Could be tough for her to find work etc. in the future

[Zarathustra]

LOL Chima. What a drama queen!

[Machiavelli]

She actually sounds relatively reasonable. Too bad she acted like a mad hatter in the house.

She sounds reasonable until the whole "why is it OK for men to attack women" comment. I was reading and waiting for the "I support our troops" comment to come next so she could really get public sentiment on her side.

[Prototype]

As far as I'm concerned, good riddance.

We, and non-feeders, don't get to see 100% of what goes on in there, but she didn't play the game correctly, and did not handle herself well in that house.

a) Considering she's someone who is in the media... who wants to be a reporter, I'd have a hard time hiring her after reading all the things she did in her final hours. My preception is that if she doesn't get her way, she'll freak out, and possibly wreck equipment, and the demeaner (sp?) of those around her. Not someone I would want on Action 4 News...

b) Everyone knew that the "wizard" had 2 weeks to use the power. While you still have to fight for every HoH, and POV, Chima had to know this was coming, I mean Jessie was all over it. Kevin was all over it. Everyone else in the house was all over it. By saying "you'd better not" doesn't mean squat in that house.

c) I love that people on this board helped me remember that there was that power already on the show, yet Chima is playing the whole "it's never been used before, it shouldn't have been used" card. Seriously? Are you making the rules now?

d) It's just sad that there's so many people that would fight to get on that show, and shes being an absolute dink about the whole ordeal. Those who can walk out those doors, have a beer with eachother, and keep in touch, regardless how they were eliminated... those are the people I respect, cause they realize it was just a game. Those who let it get to them, and those who take it personally, I feel bad for them... for around 2 seconds. Grow up.

I can't wait to see the footage... Looks like it's going to be an awesome week.

Jeff pegged it perfectly last night. Shift in power... they are scared, and they didn't give two poops about getting rid of the other sides teammates. Good riddance.

[OILFAN #81]

Jordan has nominated Lydia and Natalie for eviction.

Either Natalie or Russell will go to the jury house this week it seems. Jeff/Jordan/Michele are undecided if they want to vote Natalie out or backdoor Russell.

Im a man and I see and appreciate exactly what she is saying here. The point of it being condoned and the woman being vilified certainly does still exist and it is absolutely mind-boggling.

Dont get me wrong, im glad she is gone but I think Russell should have had his ass kicked out the door a long time ago for his verbal abuses on others in the house.
