Television CBS confirmed today that
Big Brother11 contestant Chima, the freelance journalist from West Hollywood, was
booted off the show this morning. Chima’s surprise departure capped off
a particularly volatile 24 hours in the
Big Brother house. On
Thursday, Chima’s powers as the head of household were overruled when
fellow houseguest Jeff exercised the coup d’etat, a special power that
allows him to withdraw Chima’s nominations for eviction and put up two
of his own instead. He nominated Jessie and Natalie; the bodybuilder
was subsequently evicted on a 3-2 vote. Chima, together with fellow
houseguests Natalie and Lydia, bemoaned Jessie’s departure by
villifying Jeff and his apparent alliance with Russell; at one point
she called the latter martial arts fighter a “terrorist.” Multiple
fansites tried
to stay on top of Chima’s antics on Friday, including some that
reported she threw her microphone into the pool and refused to put it
back on.
An official statement from CBS is expected. Please check back for updates.
