And they have zero self awareness. Think about how Jeff and Jordan handled losing friend after friend after friend to start the show, compared to how these knuckleheads are handling losing two friends in a row.
With any luck we’ll get some karmic balance next week and a third member of the axis of evil will get the boot. Preferably Chima, who is much better at challenges than Natalie.
That was great! I wasn’t sure if Jeff would do it, but I’m so glad he did.
Jessie said something to Julie about how America screwed him again (by giving the mystery power to Jeff instead of him) So do you think Jessie realizes now that America hates him? Probably not.
I’m not sure about Michelle as HOH. She seems to flop back and forth with her allegiance. Someone soon is going to put Jeff and Jordan on the block together, since they are an obvious double-threat. I really hope either Natalie or Chima (or both!) goes home next week.
Okay, this is too funny. Mind you I didn’t actually see this but read about it in several different recaps:[spoiler]Lydia went to Jordan and explained how she doesn’t hold Jordan accountable for Jeff’s actions.
Jordan basically responds “Huh? I’m glad he did it. And you should be grateful to him since he took you down off the block.”[/spoiler]
Correct, it was never shown.
How does a live double eviction work logistically? They start the show with an eviction, and then do a quickie HoH and PoV then another eviction? Is that followed by another HoH for the following week? Or is it something like the HG on the block who doesn’t get voted out automatically becomes HoH and immediately gets to nominate two for eviction?
Yep. Usually, the HOH comp at the end of the episode is an endurance challenge that is still going on as the show ends.
Apparently something major happened overnight.
Chima is gone?!? Sounds like she had a fit (over some Cheetos?), the feeds got cut, and when they came back she was gone.
Wow. It just keeps getting better and better. My husband is going to be so happy. Too bad I can’t tell him because he doesn’t like to know stuff before the show airs. It is very difficult for me, the spoiler whore.
Yes, Chima quit. The cheetos were part of it, but there was a mic thrown into the hot tub and she wouldn’t get a new one and was telling production to eff off. I just wonder if she decided to quit, or if it was suggested?
Made my morning, though!
Oh, my…
[spoiler]Yep, according to the TWOP live-feeders, Chima is gone. Nobody knows if it was voluntary or if she finally stepped over the line. All we know is that after an extended feed-cut, Chima is no longer in the house.
She’s been completely uncooperative with production since Michelle won the HoH, and it only got worse when she was nominated. Chima, Natalie and Lydia (who are being called the Coven) have tossed Jeff and Jordan’s clothes around, stolen Jeff’s rosary, have washed their clothes over and over and over so J/J/R/M couldn’t use the washer, and have monopolized the Veto practice setup (some sort of golf game) so J/J/R/M couldn’t practice. Chima herself has hidden under a blanket for HOURS so the cameras couldn’t see her, has refused to be cooperative with production, and has THROWN HER MICROPHONE INTO THE POOL (power pack and everything) when she was told by Big Brother to put it on. So I think they had plenty of reason to kick her out, but I have no proof either way.[/spoiler]
Oh man…it’s going to be sooooo hard not to tell my wife this before tomorrow night’s show… she hates spoilers. I wonder if this will affect the double eviction next week?
On the TWOP updates, i keep reading about exposing the “Green Room Lie.” Does anyone know what that is?
During Russell’s HOH, when Natalie and Jessie told Russell that Michelle had come to them to try to plan a Russ eviction after that week. The truth is, THEY actually woke Michelle up to try to get her to join THEM in getting Russ out. That lie was what led to Russ’s huge blow-up at Michele a couple weeks ago.
She had to have hit someone. Think about all the shit people have gotten away with over the years - Evil Dick’s assholishness, Ollie last year who actually tried wrecking the house, etc. - and managed not to get kicked off over.
If she had been just a bitch, the producers would have been happy to keep her on because of all the drama it would create. But either she left voluntarily or crossed the line and got physical with somebody - and I’m not talking Olivia Newton John physical either.
Spoiler, please.
[spoiler]I think the more likely reason is the destruction of an expensive mic-pack and the possibility that she’d continue to do that in an effort to refuse cooperation with production. My guess is that they called her into the Diary Room and had a long talk about her behavior. But they couldn’t get her to give up the hissyfit she and the other two were having so decided their only move was to kick her.
Lydia and Natalie are saying now that Chima was saying she was going to leave voluntarily, but I’m not sure I trust them.[/spoiler]
So how do you think the producers will spin this on the broadcast?
[spoiler]Probably something like this: We won’t see much of the childish and crazy-ass-bitch behavior committed by Chima (and Natalie and Lydia) over the last couple of days. We may see some scenes of Chima in conflict with Michelle and the others, Chima sitting by herself while sad music plays, and finally Chima tearfully saying to the camera that she misses her family and friends and just can’t stand being away from them any longer.
Hmmm… I wonder if she’ll get any kind of exit interview with Julie.
Will Michelle now nominate a replacement? (Lydia, surely)
Will the double-eviction night be reverted to a regular single-eviction show?
God help us, but this gives them an opportunity to bring Jessie back. I may quit the show for good if that happens.[/spoiler]

This isn’t quite right.
After Russell nominated Ronnie, Jessie, Natalie and Chima went to work on Russell trying to convince him they needed Ronnie for the numbers. After a couple days without success they started working on Michele, trying to flip her so she’d save Ronnie. Michele hated Ronnie and wanted him out, so no joy for the evil three.
As a last ditch hail mary effort to save Ronnie, Jessie and Natalie decided to fabricate a story they’d tell Russell. Their story: Michele came to us (Jessie, Natalie, Chima) in the Green Room and tried to convince us to save Ronnie, saying with our three votes and hers we could save him. So you see Russell, Michele is crazy and can’t be trusted. We’d never go against your wishes as HoH; it’s totally your call. Just know that we have your back and Michele is trying to screw over your plan to oust Ronnie.
To the shock and dismay of recappers everywhere, Russell believed this bullshit because he trusted Jessie to the bitter end. That was part of the reason he called the house meeting to out Michele as a liar. Jessie and Natalie had screwed up Russell’s head with so many different stories Russell didn’t know which way was up. Russell was so screwed up, in fact, that he couldn’t figure out that the green Room story made no sense whatsoever. Those three had actively lobbied Russell for days to save Ronnie; why would Michele need to convince them to save Ronnie? Why wouldn’t they just go along with her and keep their numbers?
Poor Michele has no real social skills and has never been able to articulate anything very clearly. Couple that with her inability to accurately recall conversations and she repeatedly came across as lying despite her telling the truth. Hell, at one point she seemed to think the Green room lie might have actually happened; she couldn’t be 100% positive it didn’t.
The Green Room lie was the catalyst for most of the drama of the past two weeks. Michele was the unfortunate recipient of a world of shit because of it, and Russell got turned into a raving lunatic. Once he gets out of the house and watches the tapes, he will likely beat himself up pretty good over how he treated Michele.
This Green Room lie also put the lie to endless protestations by Jessie, Natalie and especially Chima about how they never lied. Even worse is their continued trashing of Russell for “making stuff up about other people.” As they said, over and over, it’s one thing to lie about yourself, but making stuff up about other people out of thin air is unforgivable and beyond despicable.
There are many reasons why recappers hate Jessie, Natalie and Chima with a passion. The Green Room lie is no small part of it.
It’s worth noting that the Green Room lie was excellent gameplay. It didn’t save Ronnie, but in the end nothing could have saved Ronnie. But it absolutely drove a huge wedge into the Jeff/Jordan/Russ/Michele alliance, almost destroying it completely.
Thanks, Ellis Dee. I’ve always been a little confused about the precise order of events having to do with the GRLie.
Little bit of spoiler news:
Apparently, they’re cutting Michele’s HOH short, since they just “evicted” one of her noms early. They are apparently having a new HoH comp, probably so they can just do a regular (if foreshortened) week for the second eviction instead of having a fast-forward type “right this second!” as they would have if things had gone as planned.
Question:
Has anyone ever been kicked out before? I remember someone leaving for medical reasons. but not being booted.
