'Big Brother 11' Chima loses her mind, Lydia gets bombed
How much of a complete jerk do you have to be to get kicked off 'Big Brother 11'? Perhaps we should ask Chima?But first, let's recap! Chima was HOH and put Russell and Lydia on the block. Jeff had the coup d'etat power and took them off the block, replacing them with Jessie and Natalie. Jessie was sent home (yay!!) and Chima, Natalie and Lydia cried like their puppy just got run over by a truck. Michele won HoH, put Chima and Natalie on the block, causing Chima to basically lose her mind.
We get a montage of Chima being a complete snot, covering a camera with a blanket, refusing to report to the DR, threatening to curse so much that the FCC comes down on the show, refusing to wear her mic, and finally, she tosses her mic in the pool. Natalie gets out the pool net to retrieve it, but she's so inept that she can't even fish it from the water and has to ask Lydia to do it for her. How does Natalie manage to remain upright? Was her brain replaced with a couple of honey bees and a can of tuna or something? It has to be, because moments later, she's tries to say that the mic slipped from Chima's hand. And across the yard. And then jumped into the pool. Even better, Lydia tries to back her up while Kevin tell them both to stop being so stupid.
The BB Voice asks Chima to report to the diary room and showing the grace and class we are used to from her, she tells them to suck her *@$# and eff off. Natalie tries to give her a pep talk, saying that she could win the PoV, then win HoH and announce "This is for Natalie and Jessie!". She's delusional, right? Or the can of tuna is. Next thing we know, it's not the familiar BB voice but that of Allison Grodner, Executive Producer, calling Chima to the DR. She eventually obeys, but when she gets to the DR they tell her to not bother sitting down. Not long after, Allison is on the mic again, announcing to the other HGs that because of the flagrant disobedience and destruction of property, Chima has been evicted.
Lydia and Kevin pack Chima's stuff while Natalie continues to rant like a lunatic, saying that she wants "vindiction". That was the bees, right? The next morning, Michele announces that BB has decided that since one of her noms was evicted, her reign is over. She calmly tells Natalie that she's off the block and gets to participate in the HoH competition. I have to say, based on what CBS showed, Michele handled her HoH week being shaved down to 3 days rather well.
The HoH Competition is mini golf, with an HG being eliminated each round. At elimination, they get to pick a prize, but the HGs eliminated later get to steal prizes from those eliminated before. Lydia is eliminated first and wins the HoH. Perhaps knowing she's about to have it stolen from her, she jumps on the mimosas provided and starts chugging. By the time Jordan is the last HG standing (thanks to Jeff throwing the competition for her, which is actually sweet.), she's well on her way to drunk. As such, when Jordan trades her the unitard for HoH, Lydia goes on a tirade, calling her a ho and Jeff's puppet before screaming about how Chima and Jessie were wronged.
The next segment of the show is all about watching Lydia do a drunken impression of Chima, refusing to wear the unitard, dumping Michele's beer down the sink, tossing food in the trash and telling everyone to send her home or she will spend the next week making them all miserable. The best moment is when she gets called on being a drunk mess - which she denies - and then gets asked why she's slurring her words. To which she responds, "I'm not sluwrring ma werds, Rushell!", making everyone laugh. At her, not with her. Eventually she retreats to the DR, crying about how she misses Chima, Jessie and even Ronnie.
Outside the DR, Jeff finally explodes, asking why everyone is walking on eggshells around Lydia and why none of her team mates will tell her to clean up her attitude. None of them manage anything resembling a coherent answer before it's time for Jordan's HoH room reveal. Lydia refuses to take part, which is fine since she would just ruin it. Jordan cries and it is revealed that she's been sharing a room with her mom for two years and if she wins BB, she plans to buy a house for her family. Jeff beams at her joy and I have to say...they don't seem like the typical cheap showmance.
Apparently, in an effort to buy Lydia off, the BB producers offered her pink hair dye because when she reappears, she is not only sober and sporting a new 'do, she's joyfully wearing the unitard and promising the cast evil out of the house. Starting with herself? Or Natalie? No one is the least surprised when Jordan puts them both on the block. But did anyone else notice how Jordan said she was out to protect Jeff and Michele - leaving Russell off her list?
So. Was that the most awesome BB episode ever?

This is the first time, EVER, that I've watched BB. I have to admit that I'm addicted. I even watch the live feeds on Showtime.
I'm glad Jeff used his power to get the egotistical jerk Jessie out. I'm soooo happy that Chima was told to leave via the producers, and I'm hoping Lydia goes this week. I think Lydia is insane and her calling Jordan (who I absolutely LOVE) a ho puppet is calling the kettle black. Hello Lydia, where's your master Jessie?? Do you miss staring at that creeper while he sleeps and he has NO IDEA that you're even in bed with him?? Hmmm....? And am I missing something but why the F does she breath so heavy when she's eating, or talking or just, you know, sitting there staring crazily into space??
I find it gross how Natalie, Chima, Ronnie and Lydia all bowed down to that pencil head Jessie, and now that they're no longer in power, they're going to throw fits against the good people in the house like spoiled brats?? I hope Lydia goes home leaving Natalie to survive on her own because I think Kevin will go either way and Natalie, being the bright 24 year old that she is, will just lose it all. I think Russell is a good player, but I feel his "frienship" with Jeff and Jordan is so forced it makes it awkward to watch sometimes. I hope it comes down to Jeff or Jordan in the end. And in a perfect world, the two of them will live happily ever after.
I honestly didn't even understand this show while it was on for so many seasons. I get it now. And I have a BB problem.
Weak! CBS Weak!
Allison Groner just couldn't handle a strong black woman!!
She tolerated Evil **** and even rigged the game for him to win, but when a strong black woman who thinks for herself does the same thing, she is shown the door!! Racism is alive and well at CBS!!
This whole game is rigged against the powerful women!!
First they portray the ****fobic Jeff as a saint and allow him to win the coup detat powers and overthrow Chima, the first woman HOH no less!! Then they throw Chima out and Natalie and Lydia will likely follow her.
CBS awt to be ashamed!!!
I think this episode ranks second to Jeff revealing he is America's Choice. I'm glad CBS showed exactly what happened when Chima entered the DR so there isn't anything to refute. I realize CBS was under a time crunch but it would have been nice to see how Jordan offered to "share" her HOH with Michelle this week and asked her to bring her pictures and stuff up to the HOH room. Jeff, what a guy!
BLACK FOLKS PLEASE STAY OFF THESE REALITY SHOWS!!!!!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
If you haven't deleted it off the DVR yet, I would watch the scene where Chima is threatening to swear on the live show. I could have SWORN she said FTC and not FCC. I rewound it 4 or 5 times to be sure, and that's what it sounds like to me. Cl***ic.
Episodes like this is why I watch 'Big Brother'. You get to see morons being moronic and the reactions from the "normal" houseguests are fantastic.
Krista, I ***ume by "strong black woman" you actually mean "crazy *** *****"
Yah, that seems about right.
I also liked how Natalie blamed Chima's bad behavior on the other four. In the last ten seasons of Big Brother there has been betrayals and backstabbing and really horrible verbal abuse but no one else has gone this crazy. Chima, Natalie, Lydia and Kevin were no longer in power and Chima just couldn't handle it. She made the decision to behave badly. She needed to grow up and act like an adult.
I also found it ironic that Lydia called Jordan Jeff's puppet. It seems to me that Lydia and Natalie were Jessie's puppets and now that the he's gone, the puppets don't know what to do!
Krista needs to get a life. She seems to be one of the few still delusional enough to buy into the Nat Pack's BS. Yeah, funny how that mic just fell out of Chima's hand and threw itself across the yard. Are Lydia and Natalie serious? Are they drinking Kool-Aid that no one else drinks?
Natalie just proved how miserable a person she is. Like she said, she had been running the house and now she finds herself potentially getting run out of the house. She is always blaming someone else for her problems. She doesn't blame Chima for her actions, but instead blames Jeff and Michele. How dare Jeff use a power that was given to him; how dare Michele nominate the great and powerful Chima. Give us a break, Natalie. Jeff or Michele didn't force Chima to act like to total raving ***** or throw her mic in the whirlpool after it fell out of Chima's hand.
Lydia comes across as bipolar. She seems halfway normal early in the episode when she is trying to talk Natalie off the proverbial ledge while getting Chima's diva products together. Perhaps we can blame her ranting on booze, but she has seemed to go from one extreme to the other in the game before.
You almost feel sorry for Kevin. Sure, he's not the most exciting roommate and tends to blend into the background, but he is definitely the best of the Nat Pack right now. If I were him, I would have tried to loosen by alliance with the Pack and try to move over to Jeff's group after Jessie was ousted to try and keep my *** in the game. As it stands now, Kevin could end up collateral damage from his friendship/***ociation with Natalie, Lydia, and *****y (aka Chima).
Last thing, concerning Chima and her ridiculous FCC threat, it seems to me that she does indeed say "FCC". She follows up by saying "and that is a threat". Since she was talking about Jeff's coup powers and him possibly using them, I wonder if this conversation is why CBS decided to tape the "live" eviction early last week to keep Chima from making an even bigger *** of herself than she had already?
LUV how some people try to blame Chima's eviction on CBS not being able to handle a "strong Black woman"! Chima showed herself to be anything BUT strong; basically throwing a fit & acting like a 5 year old when things didn't go her way, and then basically QUITTING because her side was no longer in power. Even her grandparents (who are also Black, BTW) acted embar***ed of her when they were interviewed.
Chima isn't the WORST behaved houseguest ever, but IMO Big Brother should've kicked people out in previous seasons; they're just starting now.
Krista, I know not this evil **** of whom you speak. I take it he was on some other season. Now as to your conspiracy theory against black women, are you a racist sexist or mentally disturbed?
The problem wasn't theat Chima was strong it was that she was a jerk who violated the rules.
And now with her and Ronnie gone there is only one left on my please get rid of list. Though after the past few episodes Russell is now joined by Lydia on that list. Being drunk dosen't excues everything. Which leaves the problem of who I want to join the others in the final four. I don't have the same problem with Natile as everyone else seems too. But the past couple of episodes Kevin has made himself a contender. So I'll say I hope the order goes Lydia, Russell, Kevin.
And Michelle pay no attention to what Jordan says. If Jeff and her make it to the finals, it's them against everybody.
