Whoa, 'Brother': Coup d'Awesome!

Whoa, 'Brother': Coup d'Awesome!

The sounds of the “Hallelujah” chorus were ringing in the ears of "Big Brother" fans everywhere tonight.

No, it wasn't because the Chenbot unveiled a bouncy new summer 'do tonight.

The yelps of delight were because good guy Jeff finally got his game on and summoned the courage to move against Jessie ("I'm shredded!") and Natalie (Scrappy Doo), bravely using the power of coup d'etat awarded to him by America.

The result: Jessie, the season ten contestant who should have never been let inside the house, was evicted from the "Big Brother" house. Again.

Finally, the balance of power shifted, just a bit, from this season's Axis of Sycophants (Jessie, Natalie and, sadly, Chima). Fans who've watched in horror as the trio terrorized the innocents in the house saw their fondest dreams fulfilled as Jessie strutted his way out of the house, self-absorbed and clueless to the end.

Executive producer Allison Grodner was still catching her breath when we talked to her by phone earlier this evening.

"It was an emotionally charged episode," Grodner said. "It was hugely dramatic, just electric. It was amazing."

The show had a super-high energy level even though, in a rarity for Thursday editions, it was pre-taped. (Grodner says the show was shot live to tape, with no significant edits).

Jessie's exit has already lead to some major tantrum-throwing by Chima (and, to a lesser extent, Natalie).

"They're upset because for the first time, they're not in power," Grodner said. "They're being whiny, which is too bad because they're both strong players."

Grodner hinted that Chima and Natalie's level of ire may have risen to the point where they threatened to quit the game immediately after the eviction. In the case of Chima, Grodner said that would be a shame.

"Chima could take this game if she doesn't decide to quit," she said. "But sometimes she lets her pride get in the way. She may not be well-liked but she's played a great game."

While Jeff's coup dominated the night, one of the highlights was the smackdown between Russell and Jessie. The battle unfolded last night on "Big Brother After Dark," but unfortunately, there wasn't enough time to show how the fight ended: With Jessie and Russell laughing and playfully grabbing each other like schoolboys. In a Catholic boarding school.

"It was a bromance," Grodner admitted. (Actually, we think it might have been more, but we'll let "Big Brother" historians make the call).

Meanwhile, in what may have been one of the best outcomes for fans of mystery, Michelle won HOH. The ultimate floater may finally have to choose sides.

"Michelle is emerging as an amazingly strong player," Grodner said, adding that this season has boasted the strongest collection of female players in some time. (We assume she isn't including Jordan. We love Jordan. But has she done anything but look pretty all summer?)

Finally, we promised to ask Grodner a few of your questions ...

So here goes.

Jaymi asked why the live feeds fade to black when houseguests are acting up or producers don't want viewers to see something. "Why can't production simply change cameras, as they do for Showtime?" Jaymi asks.

"Because we don't have anything to switch to," Grodner said.

On "BBAD," producers can always choose between two feeds. There's always an option because there's only one main feed being shown at any time.

But with the live Internet feeds, viewers are watching what producers are watching-- and taping. Cutting away from a feed would mean producers would have to stop recording that feed.

"What you're seeing on the quad is what we're choosing to focus on," she says. "We can't switch from one of those feeds."

Several fans also expressed concern that producer favor the so-called "bad guys" in a season.

"I love how passionate our fans are," Grodner said. "But I'm not rooting for one side or another. Ultimately the best story comes from power shifts, and heroes and villains-- and people who could be both."

In other words, Grodner loves when power shifts from week to week; it wouldn't make sense for her to tilt the show toward one side since... well, since that would boring.

Feel free to discuss tonight's show below. And leave your questions for Grodner-- I'll try to ask a few more next week.

So you think it was fair for the CDT to be "Given Away" in a favorite "beauty" contest? When did BB become a "Contest"? It’s a “game” play by 13 people and all remaining houseguest (9) should of had to compete for it as they did in the all-stars, then it would of been FAIR TO ALL. Instead everyone’s chance @ F2 has either been STOLEN from them or jeopardized completely. How fair is that ?

So much rubbish has been said about Chima, why hasn't anyone commented or been offended by Russell's comment to Chima's face that "She deserved being raped", when in fact she was brutally rapes ?. Why didn't BB air that for all to see & hear ? I am more offended by that statement then all the bs talk that has been going on in the BB house.

I'm glad the Coup d'Etat happened and I'm glad Chima is gone, BUT the selection of houseguests for this show was mostly terrible and Alison Grodner is an /A?WFUL producer who needs to go.

The best Big Brother ever was Big Brother 1 where America got to CHOOSE WHO WENT for EVERY SINGLE eviction which meant we got to watch nice but very varied people, lots of characters. That's how BB works in other countries where it has been very popular - the AUDIENCE decides.

Here in America they decided conflict was better so they usually don't let the audience have any say. I'm glad they at least let the audience decide to give Jeff the power this once, but Alison Grodner is WRONG, we don't like hatefulness and nastiness, and Grodner does not grok what BB needs to be about; she should exit the show.

chima and nat need to be put in jail for breaking the law about sharing a controlled substance under th rx laws!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i this cbs needs to read peoples outrage in the comments they posted!!! come on get a clue... i have also watched bb since season 1. i am very, very, sick about what i have seem from those 3 so called women and jessie. i have canceled my live feed and if something isnt done this week i am canceling showtime and i am going to stop watching show as well!!!!!!!!! my children did see chima with the pills and then drink. and then the comment she wanted to get high!!!!!!!!!! her racist comments, her taking peoples things... i never knew that cbs stands behind people like this, i thought cbs put out family shows and didnt promote people threating harm to another person, racist people, poisining people, steeling, and imtimadation... well i can not stand behind cbs anymore!!!!!!!! i really hope you put a stop to this before those horriable females out... this years bb is a joke.... you picked 3 people that have no morels or well anything... they are sick and i hope the ones that have threaten to do real harm are put in jail where they belong!!!!!!

Jeff's coup deta move was priceless...thanks

CBS EXECUTIVES AND BB11 PROD STAFF -
YOU DO REALIZE THAT TAKING OR GIVING CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE IS AGAINST THE LAW - CORRECT? WELL VICODIN IS A SCHEDULE 2 MEDICATION (MORPHINE AND COCAINE ARE SCHEDULE 3) AND CHIMA KNOWINGLY TOOK NATALIES PILLS AND THEN WHEN KEVIN TOLD HER SHE COULD NOT DRINK ON VICODIN SHE SAID SHE WILL BECAUSE SHE IS GOING TO GET HIGH! .BASED ON YOUR PREVIOUS EDITING I EXPECT THIS WILL NOT BE AIRED ON NETWORK TV, BUT I CAN BET THAT YOUTUBE WILL HAVE IT FOR ALL THE PUBLIC TO SEE. CANNOT WAIT FOR MY KIDS TO ASK ME IF SHE REALLY DID TAKE THE MEDICATION AND WHY SHE DID NOT GET IN TROUBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BB Production - just viewed last nights showtime 2 after dark. I have been disgusted with CHIMA and her "russell is a terrorist" comments. BUT LAST NIGHT WHEN SHE SAID "RUSSELL IS A TERRORIST AND I AM THE TWIN TOWERS" WAS worthy of a DR room talk down and if that comment is EDITED OUT OF THE FREE TV SHOW I WILL LOSE ANY FAITH IN THE PRODUCERS BEING IMPARTIAL AND LETTING THE PUBLIC SEE THE TRUE ETHICS AND PERSONALITY OF THE PLAYERS. I HAD FRIENDS IN THOSE TOWERS AND HOW DARE THAT SPOILED, HIGH MAINTENENCE, WHINNY WOMEN SAY SUCH A THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you really want to know how Allison Grodner feels about Chima's actions thus far, she lets you know when she commented:

" She may not be well-liked but she's played a great game."

This is proof that she condones Chima's actions and has no real plans to interfere with her playing style - if you can call it that. At this point there is no actual strategy involved, just a lot of sociopathological behaviors displaying. It appears that CBS and the casting/production executives have overlooked getting a psychological evaluation on their contestants.

The key to fixing this is taking the power away from CBS by changing the channel and canceling the subscriptions to Showtime and Real Player that keep airing all this garbage. Until then, our comments and requests will continue to fall of deaf ears.

My feelings like 99% of the others here is Outrage. Ms Grodner thinks Chima is a great player and this has given them "good TV" Next year she might be singing a different tune...and it goes like this....Where did all my viewers go
That's what I see happening if she doesn't wake up about his Chima ordeal.
I have been a very loyal BB viewer..have only missed one season. But unless something is done about this racist, angry and bitter woman I will never watch this program again. Not everybody who is upset about this write to you so think of all the posts you did get and multiply that by1,000. Just think how many viewers you will loose. Is Chima worth it? What does Chima have hanging over you? You really don't think she's that good of player do you? I'm real dissapointed in BB this year that you would let a woman such as this flip you off. Now Chima and her posse want to poison Michelle?
Really Ms. Grodner who really runs this show?

Fonzie

Chima said Russ is a Muslim extremist terrorist. She said she would spit in Russ' face and make him hit her. She said she would take one for the cause and get him get thrown out.

Why was chima able to defy and not were her mic. and was told to put on mic, her reply was fliping off the cam. She should be called to DR. and not return she is a dscrace to CBS and our game.

I also can not believe that CBS would allow two contestants (lydia and Nat) to knowingly poisen another contestant as they have threatened to poison Michelle with red dye in her food as she is deathly allergic to it.

So you are trying to destroy BB so that you can move on to something else? Maybe Mark Burnett will pick it up so that we can see what a real producer can do with it. Your comments backing Chima's stand on racism and rape have told me all I need to know of you.

Ok can you explain to me why chima doesnt get a penalty, for throwing her mic in the hot tub, and then not wearing the mic. For flipping off production every 2 seconds. And for all her racial comments.
But Jeff takes a sip of gatorade, kevin eats onegrape and they both get penalties. But Chima and her dumb ass crew get away with everything with no penalties...hummmmm wonder why that is ?
Maybe since russ rejected chia pet one of your staff took her upon bj's???/

I am so SICK of watching Chima, Lydia and Natalie break rules, be cruel, and do the things they continuously do with no repercussions. Entertainment is entertainment, but I am so sick of watching them do these things I WILL stop watching if these people aren't stopped. This is not tolerated in the real world. Chima, Natalie and Lydia need to go. Do something, anything, but please stop this....it's not enjoyable anymore!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG you got to be kidding me Chima doesnt get in trouble for flipping the cams off and throwing her mic in the spa. What kind of crap is this? You guys put Kevin and Jeff on slop an extra day, but nothing gets done about Chima. All i know if you guys dont do something about this you will lose alot of viewers because of this crap.

To allow/protect Chima and her disgusting cohorts makes you as disgusting and pathetic as they are Ms. Grodner. What rocks does your staff search under to find such trash?

I will encourage my entire website to boycott all future seasons if nothing's done about this, seriously. WE WILL NOT PROMOTE THE SHOW, OR THE FEEDS AND WILL BAN ALL DISCUSSION OF IT. I've watched the show EVERY SEASON but this WILL be my last if this is allowed.

Ms. Grodner, are you going to continually allow Lydia/Chima and Natalie to throw others clothes and stuff around, monopolize the washing machine and dryer, Chima apparently can throw her mike in the hot tub and flip y'all off and nothings done. OH and let's not forget Lydia threatening Jeff with a corkscrew.

I guess they can do what they want, when they want and get away with it.

I haven't caught a lot of the remarks Chima has made. But I do know that the three of them are acting like 2 year olds. Dumping belongings out . Wonder what would happen if theirs were dumped all over the house!
I have a complaint about the cameras all being on the same scene when there are still so many people in the house. The production scenes shown have multiple cameras running all the time. I'm not so stupid that I will ever think that they only use 4 cameras to film the whole house! Even not knowing the industry, I know better than that! They have bragged on having like 52 cameras filming all the time and we are restricted to 2?? Does NOT make sense! And the constant black-outs speak of inexperienced or incompetent production crews!

Can this girl sink any lower and take CBS with it?

I have been a BB fan for the very begin, it's my favorite show of all time! This year I was very happy to be able to purchase the live feeds. However. sadly this may be the last season for all of it. I am disgusted on how Chima's bad behaviour is being rewarded. Saying racist remarks should not be tolorated in any manner. Bring 9/11 into this is above and beyong anything done in BB history. Terriosim is not a laughing matter. The friends and families that lost love ones on that day should be shown some respect. I am ashamed of CBS and Grodner. Come on guys is this girl worth your long time fans and your respect, I don't think so

I am embarresed to admit that I WAS a fan of bb this season. First bringing Jessie back after we America voted him out last season !!!! Hello, there was a reason !!!! He is so obnoxious to watch. I litterally hate him !!!! Now alla the special treatment of racist Chima, Natalie, and Lydia. Having to tape the live show becauise Chima threatened to cause a scene ?? I think she should have gotten a severe warning not to carry on or she would not receive her stippened. But no lets make things more comfortable for those immature morons !!! Come on Ms. Grodner, whats up with that ???? The way they treat other peoples property, and the horrible RACIST REMARKS coming out of Chimas mouth. What the hell is wrong with you people???? Kevin gets a warnig before he gets another day of slop, not Jeff, one time and BAM !!! he gets another day. And there is no favoratism???? I think not !! I am done with this nonsence. I find myself getting too upset over this garbage. Try reeading some of the chats and see just how many other devoted fans are fed up too. you are loosing your faithful audience I just hope Jessie, Chima, Natalie, and Lydia were worth it !!!!

I feel cheated that BB decided to give the game to Jeff and gang. The fair game would have been to fight for the special power and not just give it because fans decided to help the blond/blue eyed guest. BB was going along just fine without assistance from the votes. It would have played out the way it was meant to.

This is my first season of watching BB. I must admit that I am very surprised that a house guest is allowed to threaten other house guests, steal their sleeping items, incite physical fights and make racist comments without some type of penalty.
Something should be done to correct this behavior. It does not make sense that any rating is worth allowing a person to maintain this demeanor for this long. Other houseguests are endangered when all they want to do is play a game.

chima is a hippocrite...
she dogged all over braden about being a biggot (which he wasn't) and turns around and does the same to russ.
thats a low blow; it was a smack in the face to a culture... and durogitory...
chima should get kicked out for THAT...
and her attitude... she's always miss diva and everythin is her way...
i hate her personality...

i have never been so infuriated in my life until last night when i watched bbad... chima HAS to leave... it's mandatory... as do lydia and natalie...
i mean... jeff, jordan, michelle, and others r here to play the GAME, to win... the new 3 amigas wanted jessie to win.. thats their whole philosophy for being there... i really loved when lydia said i'd rather stay on the block, than for jessie to leave...
can some one please tell me why she entered bb...
she has no clue.. she is just an obsessive creep who likes to watch people sleep...(weird).. she needs to b out.. she doesn't wanna win..
just wanted to vent.
thx

I couldn't agree more with all the comment regarding Chima and her disgusting, appauling, groteseque behavior. The viewers have been watching on primerimes, after dark and the feeds the way ion which this GIRL schemes and manipulates the producers. The executives at CBS should be involved in this situation and managing it. They are suppose to be a family network yet they allow Chima to continue with this behavior. Not to mention allowing an 18 year old Natalie to drink under age. Makes me question what ethics and values your network is promoting.

It is funny how you said all Jordan did was look pretty all summer when that is not entirely the whole truth. she was able to get information from the other side to Jeff, Casey, and Laura while "looking pretty" and keeping Jeff sane. ( and was nominated twice) Also you failed to mention that Natalie won nothing and Lydia won nothing and is a flip flopping selfish brat.

This my first year of having the live feeds and BBAD. Too bad it will most likely be my last. CBS needs to stand up for all Americans and run Chima out the door. With any luck a Homeland Security Officer will be waiting there to take her to interrogation. Her sickening chackle of the Twin Towers incident and, stealing the rosary make me think the pot is calling the kettle black and it's really Chima who is the Muslim terrorist. Freedom of Speech is an honor not meant to be abused by sorehead losers. KICK HER OFF THE SHOW! There is too much hatred and spite in that woman.
If it weren't for Jeff, Jordan, Russel and Michele, last night would have been the end for me. Jeff and Jordan are just so cute together that it's hard not to want to see them. Russel and Michele with their love/hate relationship, his moodiness, her goofiness, keep it in dynamic play. Kevin is playing, in my opinion, a very smart game. Lydia and Natalie without Chima would have no game or no interest. But Chima is just no longer tolerable and yet CBS coddles her and rewards her for her threats. I think CBS would make a bigger impression on BB fans by treating her as strictly as they did Jeff with the "one sip". The look on Chima's grandparent's faces as they watched her tirade spoke volumes.

Hopefully the right people get these responses and do something about it. You can obviously see what your fan base is upset about and if you don't do something about it, you will lose alot of viewers. Racism comes in very color, its not just black and white and if your not going to recongize that the big haired idiot is making the worst comments ever that happened to our country and then laugh about b/c she can't put aside her pride, I see that it makes good T.V. for you but I'm 100% sure that if Michelle were to say those comments she would be kicked out, and you know it.

I have been a BB fan since the beginning and I have never seen such a fowl house guest as CHIMA.
Her actions on the show are appalling and it needs to be addressed through a penalty or eviction. this is ridiculous.. does CBS condone her behavior.?
yes, it does.
you may be losing a few fans of your so called reality show.
chima is disgusting and needs to go.!

I have complained to CBS here: http://bit.ly/13gZ0Z about Chima's racist comments being spun on television in her favor and the lack of consequence. I strongly encourage you all to do the same. As aforementioned, it is very likely that if Russell were to call Chima a racial slur, he would be penalized heavily for it. Chima has been getting her @$$ kissed this whole season, and she still complains. I think if her behavior goes on unnoticed, many BB fans will be disappointed and maybe stop watching. I know I will. AT THE VERY LEAST, her racial comments should be exploited on national television. She needs to face what she has said. NO ONE should be able to get away from saying those horrible things OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

chima is a person that i could never be friends with...she has some really big issues and does not need to be in the BB house....it's a shame she has "connections" and her bad behaviour is overlooked...a "Jeff sip" get a day of extra slop.,,,,but she makes an a$$ of herself and gets beauty products? What's wrong with this picture?

I concur with all the responses to Chima's behavior and comments. I hope every uses CBS feedback form to directly reply to CBS.
It is a double eviction so just let them make a choice to go out the door.

I think Chima said it best:

Chima revealed to her fellow HouseGuests on the live Internet feeds and on Big Brother: After Dark after the eviction that she was informed in the Diary Room by Big Brother, the producers, that her comments were censored during the live broadcast.

"I said, I don't think it's fair because I don't think they showed when it first was said, and I was like, 'If someone's a racist, they should be portrayed as one. You shouldn't edit it to make them look good.'"

I'm happy to see the amount of comments here from people who are bothered by Chima's racism. I understand that Braden directed nasty racial comments at Lydia and Kevin, but I was honestly sickened by the way Chima took advantage of it to get herself off the block by trying to brand anyone who voted against her as condoning racism and misogyny ,despite the fact that Chima was also calling people (Lydia and Jordon on the first BBAD) sluts and whores. I realize that BB is not responsible for the HG's opinions and that this has happened before, but I do believe that she should be penalized for bullying and threatening the production of the show at least. I hope that when she gets out of the house her racism will negatively effect her work prospects.

I understand everyones hatred towards Chima. Personally I cant stand her. However, I think that a penalty nom/and or expulsion would only fuel the fire. Besides, don't you all want to see her put up and voted out! I think that will be so much more fun. I do believe that calling Chima out on her racist remarks would be a mistake. I think it would (further) ruin the reputation of BB. If you start censoring what people say, it's no longer "reality TV." There are racist people out there and they need to be exposed as such. I think cbs should air her remarks on tv so america can hate her as much as us feedsters do!

CBS's caterng to and excusing Chima Simone's behaviour is beyond belief.
The selective editing of the show to justify Chima's racist remarks abhorrent.

What happened to Chima in the past is horrible. She was the victim of one man's evil. To then become someone who engages in a lesser form of evil is not what a strong woman would do,

Shame on CBS for allowing Grodner to foment such vile hatred.

I am sickened by Chima's behavior. She has been the biggest whiner ever. Such a sore loser! I am very surprised that CBS allowed themselves to be manipulated by her threats and subsequently taped the usually live show. Now her slurs to and about Russell have been taken to a new low! I think she should be evicted as well as Lydia for threatening to "shank their [Russell and Jeff] balls with the cork screw." The threats of violence, terrorist slurs and taking the rosary beads are not acceptable behavior!

Why are the producers trying to placate them with beauty products? Very strange. If they want to walk, America would be happier. Shame on CBS for editing the terrorist slurs to make it appear that Chima was referring to terrorizing the house and not the actual terrorist slurs she has been saying over and over again!

So she is telling me of the MILLIONS of $$$ they are making off realplayer subscribers, CBS ratings, & showtime AD mula, they CAN'T AFFORD to have more than 2 camera feeds & recordings going on at the same time??
Any other "pay for web cam" sights have cameras in every room at every time recording ALL THE TIME, & PAYING VIEWERS GET TO CHOOSE WHAT & WHEN THEY VIEW!!! Why advertize "quad cam" "uncensored" viewing when quad is 2 cameras of 4 screens 90% of the time & fish on the screen 50% of the time, not because of technical dificulties, but because they don't want PAYING viewers see UNCENSORED view as promissed. Sounds like a class action lawsuit from realplayer premium service members for breach of contract doesn't it????

We all are so appauled by Chimas racist and hate talk. By CBS letting it go on is the same as them condoning it. She needs to be kicked off the show for the sake of BB fans and for America!!!!!

It's too bad CBS has seen fit to condone racism for the sake of ratings. Of course Chima has some inside pull being friends with Marcellas Reynolds of BB3 and All Stars (who was her hook to get on the show), and best friends with Kim of Amazing Race 10. So if you think she is being favored, she obviously is.
Of course Chima has taken her inane behavior to a new level and diminished not only herself but the show in general.
I used to get a kick out of the BB experience, but since BB8 it has become a long , tiring version of Jerry Springer.
So Chima should absolutely have a penalty nom put against her, or maybe even a penalty vote. But more importantly CBS, we don't need the ghetto or redneck crap to be entertained. Why not cast people who can actually play the game.

does ms grodner have a boss? someone she has to account to for her decisions?
i am ashamed to be watching this show however praying for justice i keep watching.
chima being rewarded for threatening production? losing some of her stipend? "she mentioned this. and ms grodner doesnt want her to leave? nat ok to leave but chima is not?
sorry cbs but the twin tower comment is WAY beyond what is acceptable.

CBS, AG, what are you thinking? Chima's blatent racism must be stopped immediately. If Chima was white and was terrorizing a black person running through the house chasing after them, calling them N*gger, not once, but over and over and over, for well over a week, you would throw them out of the house so fast. There is no difference and by allowing her to continue, CBS is supporting racism. WHY AREN'T YOU DOING ANYTHING?

In addition, Terroristic Threats are illegal outside the BB house and they should not be tolerated inside it, either.

DO THE RIGHT THING, CBS. YOUR VIEWERSHIP HANGS IN THE BALANCE! I will not continue watching this show, the feeds or Showtime until you get this awful Bigot off the air!

I have been a long time BB watcher and I am dumbstruck about the filth coming out of Chima's mouth! She should definitely be penalized for her culturally racist remarks and destruction of property! If it were a white person, they would have been sent home! I am now rethinking my watching BB if she is not penalized in some way!

For AG to say she is not slanted one way or the next is a downright lie. Of course she wants people to watch the show and make it entertaining. In order to do so, she MUST give power to one side or the other. If we need proof, its her letting Chima get away with some pretty disgusting behavior. I dislike Natalie the most, I think she is vile, nasty and has an undo sense of entitlement but Chima is taking it to another level!

If Chima is not punished, this will be my last season of watching BB. I know of a lot of people who feel the same.
Disappointed in AG, CBS and BB

Why is Chima and her so called Diva Crew Being allowed to run wild in the BB House and do hurtful things to others not only to thier characters, but to thier belongings as well and How does Chima get by with her Threats against production!! She tells them what she will and will not do!!! This has been the worst House Guest to ever walk through the doors of the Big Brother House!! I think it is time that a penalty norm is awarded to this unruly Diva or else she is taken out of the house, You would have NEVER allowed this type of conduct from House Guests on past Seasons, so why NOW??? Even Evil Dick was an Angel compared to this Witch!!! I can't believe to changed your whole schedule and had to tape Thursday's Live Show this because of Chima's Threats against production and Jeff!! What is this show coming to??? Put on your Big Girl Panties and Kick her OUT!!!! Or stand your ground and pentalize her!!! What is wrong with you people!! What does she have on you???

chima has gone too far! i'm not sure if her behavior qualifies for penalty nominations but at the very LEAST, production should be in her ear in the diary room strongly encouraging her to tone it down! i do not understand how they can continue to allow these racist comments, the insensitive slurs towards 911, and lastly, and maybe the worst offense, in my opinion, taking jeff's rosary beads and laughing about it!!

chima is always calling russell out for behavior she deems inappropriate, has she ever ONCE held that judgement mirror to herself? she is a vile human being and her hypocrisy is truly loathesome. i used to feel so sorry for her with everything she's gone through and had great empathy towards her "man issues," however, she has made it impossible to feel any kind of compassion towards her.

i'm sorry, there is absolutely NO JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS and CBS needs to stop allowing her to run them around in circles!!! bribing them with "beauty products" to keep them well behaved????

ARE YOU SERIOUS? she acts as though she's doing you a huge favor by staying. newsflash, she isn't!! if you want ratings, stop cowtowing to her and let the diva do what she wants, ie: WALK OUT THE DOOR! her sense of entitlement is truly sickening to watch. and the only thing more sickening is watching a roomful of producers and network exec's cater to her deplorable behavior and actions because some drama queen is threatening to sue or walk out or throw a temper tantrum on live television. LET HER! it's her embarrassment and CBS will reap the rewards anyway (ratings!).

by the way, in the words of jeff, where are HIS beauty products?? he's one of the very few HG's who actually deserve them yet you didn't give him anything! someone high tail it over to sephora and get him some clinique for men or kiehl's for men... he deserves it!!!

i've always been a huge fan, BBAD watcher as well as the live feeds, but if this continues, this year will most certainly be the last!

Grodner and CBS executives might have protest on their hands in Los Angeles, if they allow Chima and what she said Friday morning on the live feeds to go ignored.

When someone says that he is not allowed to have a rosary, hides it and then goes on to call Russell a mother ****** Muslim terroist, then go on and on about building a bomb etc. In the real world if someone posted such things the police and higher authorities would be raiding their home, or put them under surveillance. So how can CBS do nothing, but turn it to edit Chima saying he terrorizing people in the house not to all the racist times she called him a Muslim Terrorist. Viewers are not stupid!

Such refusal of bringing this out and doing something about it shows that CBS allows racism in all aspects of their programs and people they hired. If this was a racist slur on Chima I bet CBS would be jumping on. Adam was taken to the cleaners for his comments of past Big Brother, so why not on such a racist comment the keeps on going like the energizer bunny, Chima continues because CBS and Grodner is allowing it to continue.

I'm of a Jewish and Russian Orthodox background . I learned never to judge another person. I'm am ashamed of Chima's actions and shows how far we as a nation need to go in regards to prejudice.

Prejudicial is what CBS has become on this issue.

I absolutely love Big Brother!!! Best show ever!!! I must admit I'm dissappointed in Allison Grodner's decision to let Chima's remarks go without a penlty nom. We all know if that was a white person doing all the slamming it would be a complete different story. It's a shame.

My question to AG would be, Why hasn't Chima been penalized for her outbursts of the 9-11 incident, For destruction of property, When they stole the rosary beads, dumped out Russels bag of clothes, Or when they stripped the beds and stole all the pillows and blankets. I understand they are upset to see one of their closest friends being evicted. At the same time, Other HG's have watched week after week, They're own friends being evicted and didn't throw outrages like chima, natalie and lydia. Myself and other viewers, Feel that the producers are playing favorates because of the beauty products they were awarded after " being good". Also because they are being allowed to destroy other peoples property, along with the terrorist comments which brings to the 9-11 remark last night, Where Chima had compared herself as the Twin towers and Russel as the plane. Not to mention, The producers giving information to the three girls about How well Jessie is doing after being evicted. I'm not speaking for myself or asking these questions for myself, but many old and new fans are wondering the same. I guess if i had one question it would be, How far could chima go and still be able to stay in the BB House?

I really believe that Chima should be evicted by producers or punished for her racist remarks. If someone had been racist toward an African American BB would have told them to stop.

I am in shock on what CBS is letting Chima say. There are many people who died on 9-11 and yet she is making light of it. Comparing herself to the twin towers. She needs to be held accountable for her words. She is trying to wreck a mans life which she could very well do. Russ will have to leave that house at some point and what life will he go back home to. A life where bull headed people really think he is a terrorist?
Can CBS really do this to another human being.
I, along with many other people DEMAND that something happens to Chima and someone tells her to quit saying these horrible things. If something does not change then I will be forced not to watch CBS again. I can not watch a channel that supports a human being calling another human being a lebanese terrorist and refering to herself as the twin towers.

I am sorry, but at some point you are going to have to ask yourself if ratings are really worth what you are putting people through having to watch Chima.
I pay for the live feeds and showtime after dark. I have seen the many times she has called russ a terrorist.
But.. by the way.. good job punishing Jeff for a sip of Gatorade. Atleast you are punishing the right people for a severe BB rule break. I know that sip could have wrecked a mans future.
I hope production makes the right call and does something about Chima quickly.
Thank you for listening
Cindy

God bless the lives lost on 9/11. Your memory deserves better then this.

I wish Chima would get some sort of penalty for her racist comments. Called jordan whitetrash, and russ a terrorist. Here she said she wasnt and wanted brayden out of the house. So why cant something happen to her, that and her and lydia threatened violence against jeff and russ so what is up with the regulations on that . I hope Michelle puts up chima and lydia, let natalie stay in house so Jesse will go crazy not having her there and hope that chima lydia natalie in that order get evicted in next two weeks.

I would like to ask AG why Chima has not gotten a penelty for the terriosts comments, and for stealing Jeff's rosary beads.

Everyone knows the muslin terriosts toward Rusell are not because he is mean in the house, the comments are the racist kind and totally uncalled for and should not be acceptable.

Chima should of had many penality's already but she is walking around like she has CBS by the B@ll$

Grodner still didn't admit WHY the live show was pre-taped last night. I guess I would like to hear someone verify that Chima's intimidation of the producers and her threats of violence at eviction were the real answer.......

wow, you think it's a great game for someone to call someone a terrorist, hide his rosary and provoke him to try to hit her? She LAUGHED after she said that about being the twin towers. It was funny to her to laugh about 9-11. Wow, you really surprised me Ms. Grodner.

For all the grenades being lobbed at CBS and Grodner & Co. for time-shifting last night's episode, I must say that it delivered a healthy dose of shock and awe. Jessie's exit harkened back to the glory days of BB, when we would wait on the edge of our seats for the live show's fun and fireworks.

In a day and age when people twitter spoilers *before* they happen, last night's episode still managed to entertain. Nice job.

So you think it was fair for the CDT to be "Given Away" in a favorite "beauty" contest? When did BB become a "Contest"? It’s a “game” play by 13 people and all remaining houseguest (9) should of had to compete for it as they did in the all-stars, then it would of been FAIR TO ALL. Instead everyone’s chance @ F2 has either been STOLEN from them or jeopardized completely. How fair is that ?

So much rubbish has been said about Chima, why hasn't anyone commented or been offended by Russell's comment to Chima's face that "She deserved being raped", when in fact she was brutally rapes ?. Why didn't BB air that for all to see & hear ? I am more offended by that statement then all the bs talk that has been going on in the BB house.

I'm glad the Coup d'Etat happened and I'm glad Chima is gone, BUT the selection of houseguests for this show was mostly terrible and Alison Grodner is an /A?WFUL producer who needs to go.

The best Big Brother ever was Big Brother 1 where America got to CHOOSE WHO WENT for EVERY SINGLE eviction which meant we got to watch nice but very varied people, lots of characters. That's how BB works in other countries where it has been very popular - the AUDIENCE decides.

Here in America they decided conflict was better so they usually don't let the audience have any say. I'm glad they at least let the audience decide to give Jeff the power this once, but Alison Grodner is WRONG, we don't like hatefulness and nastiness, and Grodner does not grok what BB needs to be about; she should exit the show.

chima and nat need to be put in jail for breaking the law about sharing a controlled substance under th rx laws!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i this cbs needs to read peoples outrage in the comments they posted!!! come on get a clue... i have also watched bb since season 1. i am very, very, sick about what i have seem from those 3 so called women and jessie. i have canceled my live feed and if something isnt done this week i am canceling showtime and i am going to stop watching show as well!!!!!!!!! my children did see chima with the pills and then drink. and then the comment she wanted to get high!!!!!!!!!! her racist comments, her taking peoples things... i never knew that cbs stands behind people like this, i thought cbs put out family shows and didnt promote people threating harm to another person, racist people, poisining people, steeling, and imtimadation... well i can not stand behind cbs anymore!!!!!!!! i really hope you put a stop to this before those horriable females out... this years bb is a joke.... you picked 3 people that have no morels or well anything... they are sick and i hope the ones that have threaten to do real harm are put in jail where they belong!!!!!!

Jeff's coup deta move was priceless...thanks

CBS EXECUTIVES AND BB11 PROD STAFF -
YOU DO REALIZE THAT TAKING OR GIVING CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE IS AGAINST THE LAW - CORRECT? WELL VICODIN IS A SCHEDULE 2 MEDICATION (MORPHINE AND COCAINE ARE SCHEDULE 3) AND CHIMA KNOWINGLY TOOK NATALIES PILLS AND THEN WHEN KEVIN TOLD HER SHE COULD NOT DRINK ON VICODIN SHE SAID SHE WILL BECAUSE SHE IS GOING TO GET HIGH! .BASED ON YOUR PREVIOUS EDITING I EXPECT THIS WILL NOT BE AIRED ON NETWORK TV, BUT I CAN BET THAT YOUTUBE WILL HAVE IT FOR ALL THE PUBLIC TO SEE. CANNOT WAIT FOR MY KIDS TO ASK ME IF SHE REALLY DID TAKE THE MEDICATION AND WHY SHE DID NOT GET IN TROUBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BB Production - just viewed last nights showtime 2 after dark. I have been disgusted with CHIMA and her "russell is a terrorist" comments. BUT LAST NIGHT WHEN SHE SAID "RUSSELL IS A TERRORIST AND I AM THE TWIN TOWERS" WAS worthy of a DR room talk down and if that comment is EDITED OUT OF THE FREE TV SHOW I WILL LOSE ANY FAITH IN THE PRODUCERS BEING IMPARTIAL AND LETTING THE PUBLIC SEE THE TRUE ETHICS AND PERSONALITY OF THE PLAYERS. I HAD FRIENDS IN THOSE TOWERS AND HOW DARE THAT SPOILED, HIGH MAINTENENCE, WHINNY WOMEN SAY SUCH A THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you really want to know how Allison Grodner feels about Chima's actions thus far, she lets you know when she commented:

" She may not be well-liked but she's played a great game."

This is proof that she condones Chima's actions and has no real plans to interfere with her playing style - if you can call it that. At this point there is no actual strategy involved, just a lot of sociopathological behaviors displaying. It appears that CBS and the casting/production executives have overlooked getting a psychological evaluation on their contestants.

The key to fixing this is taking the power away from CBS by changing the channel and canceling the subscriptions to Showtime and Real Player that keep airing all this garbage. Until then, our comments and requests will continue to fall of deaf ears.

My feelings like 99% of the others here is Outrage. Ms Grodner thinks Chima is a great player and this has given them "good TV" Next year she might be singing a different tune...and it goes like this....Where did all my viewers go
That's what I see happening if she doesn't wake up about his Chima ordeal.
I have been a very loyal BB viewer..have only missed one season. But unless something is done about this racist, angry and bitter woman I will never watch this program again. Not everybody who is upset about this write to you so think of all the posts you did get and multiply that by1,000. Just think how many viewers you will loose. Is Chima worth it? What does Chima have hanging over you? You really don't think she's that good of player do you? I'm real dissapointed in BB this year that you would let a woman such as this flip you off. Now Chima and her posse want to poison Michelle?
Really Ms. Grodner who really runs this show?

Fonzie

Chima said Russ is a Muslim extremist terrorist. She said she would spit in Russ' face and make him hit her. She said she would take one for the cause and get him get thrown out.

Why was chima able to defy and not were her mic. and was told to put on mic, her reply was fliping off the cam. She should be called to DR. and not return she is a dscrace to CBS and our game.

I also can not believe that CBS would allow two contestants (lydia and Nat) to knowingly poisen another contestant as they have threatened to poison Michelle with red dye in her food as she is deathly allergic to it.

So you are trying to destroy BB so that you can move on to something else? Maybe Mark Burnett will pick it up so that we can see what a real producer can do with it. Your comments backing Chima's stand on racism and rape have told me all I need to know of you.

Ok can you explain to me why chima doesnt get a penalty, for throwing her mic in the hot tub, and then not wearing the mic. For flipping off production every 2 seconds. And for all her racial comments.
But Jeff takes a sip of gatorade, kevin eats onegrape and they both get penalties. But Chima and her dumb ass crew get away with everything with no penalties...hummmmm wonder why that is ?
Maybe since russ rejected chia pet one of your staff took her upon bj's???/

I am so SICK of watching Chima, Lydia and Natalie break rules, be cruel, and do the things they continuously do with no repercussions. Entertainment is entertainment, but I am so sick of watching them do these things I WILL stop watching if these people aren't stopped. This is not tolerated in the real world. Chima, Natalie and Lydia need to go. Do something, anything, but please stop this....it's not enjoyable anymore!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG you got to be kidding me Chima doesnt get in trouble for flipping the cams off and throwing her mic in the spa. What kind of crap is this? You guys put Kevin and Jeff on slop an extra day, but nothing gets done about Chima. All i know if you guys dont do something about this you will lose alot of viewers because of this crap.

To allow/protect Chima and her disgusting cohorts makes you as disgusting and pathetic as they are Ms. Grodner. What rocks does your staff search under to find such trash?

I will encourage my entire website to boycott all future seasons if nothing's done about this, seriously. WE WILL NOT PROMOTE THE SHOW, OR THE FEEDS AND WILL BAN ALL DISCUSSION OF IT. I've watched the show EVERY SEASON but this WILL be my last if this is allowed.

Ms. Grodner, are you going to continually allow Lydia/Chima and Natalie to throw others clothes and stuff around, monopolize the washing machine and dryer, Chima apparently can throw her mike in the hot tub and flip y'all off and nothings done. OH and let's not forget Lydia threatening Jeff with a corkscrew.

I guess they can do what they want, when they want and get away with it.

I haven't caught a lot of the remarks Chima has made. But I do know that the three of them are acting like 2 year olds. Dumping belongings out . Wonder what would happen if theirs were dumped all over the house!
I have a complaint about the cameras all being on the same scene when there are still so many people in the house. The production scenes shown have multiple cameras running all the time. I'm not so stupid that I will ever think that they only use 4 cameras to film the whole house! Even not knowing the industry, I know better than that! They have bragged on having like 52 cameras filming all the time and we are restricted to 2?? Does NOT make sense! And the constant black-outs speak of inexperienced or incompetent production crews!

Can this girl sink any lower and take CBS with it?

I have been a BB fan for the very begin, it's my favorite show of all time! This year I was very happy to be able to purchase the live feeds. However. sadly this may be the last season for all of it. I am disgusted on how Chima's bad behaviour is being rewarded. Saying racist remarks should not be tolorated in any manner. Bring 9/11 into this is above and beyong anything done in BB history. Terriosim is not a laughing matter. The friends and families that lost love ones on that day should be shown some respect. I am ashamed of CBS and Grodner. Come on guys is this girl worth your long time fans and your respect, I don't think so

I am embarresed to admit that I WAS a fan of bb this season. First bringing Jessie back after we America voted him out last season !!!! Hello, there was a reason !!!! He is so obnoxious to watch. I litterally hate him !!!! Now alla the special treatment of racist Chima, Natalie, and Lydia. Having to tape the live show becauise Chima threatened to cause a scene ?? I think she should have gotten a severe warning not to carry on or she would not receive her stippened. But no lets make things more comfortable for those immature morons !!! Come on Ms. Grodner, whats up with that ???? The way they treat other peoples property, and the horrible RACIST REMARKS coming out of Chimas mouth. What the hell is wrong with you people???? Kevin gets a warnig before he gets another day of slop, not Jeff, one time and BAM !!! he gets another day. And there is no favoratism???? I think not !! I am done with this nonsence. I find myself getting too upset over this garbage. Try reeading some of the chats and see just how many other devoted fans are fed up too. you are loosing your faithful audience I just hope Jessie, Chima, Natalie, and Lydia were worth it !!!!

I feel cheated that BB decided to give the game to Jeff and gang. The fair game would have been to fight for the special power and not just give it because fans decided to help the blond/blue eyed guest. BB was going along just fine without assistance from the votes. It would have played out the way it was meant to.

This is my first season of watching BB. I must admit that I am very surprised that a house guest is allowed to threaten other house guests, steal their sleeping items, incite physical fights and make racist comments without some type of penalty.
Something should be done to correct this behavior. It does not make sense that any rating is worth allowing a person to maintain this demeanor for this long. Other houseguests are endangered when all they want to do is play a game.

chima is a hippocrite...
she dogged all over braden about being a biggot (which he wasn't) and turns around and does the same to russ.
thats a low blow; it was a smack in the face to a culture... and durogitory...
chima should get kicked out for THAT...
and her attitude... she's always miss diva and everythin is her way...
i hate her personality...

i have never been so infuriated in my life until last night when i watched bbad... chima HAS to leave... it's mandatory... as do lydia and natalie...
i mean... jeff, jordan, michelle, and others r here to play the GAME, to win... the new 3 amigas wanted jessie to win.. thats their whole philosophy for being there... i really loved when lydia said i'd rather stay on the block, than for jessie to leave...
can some one please tell me why she entered bb...
she has no clue.. she is just an obsessive creep who likes to watch people sleep...(weird).. she needs to b out.. she doesn't wanna win..
just wanted to vent.
thx

I couldn't agree more with all the comment regarding Chima and her disgusting, appauling, groteseque behavior. The viewers have been watching on primerimes, after dark and the feeds the way ion which this GIRL schemes and manipulates the producers. The executives at CBS should be involved in this situation and managing it. They are suppose to be a family network yet they allow Chima to continue with this behavior. Not to mention allowing an 18 year old Natalie to drink under age. Makes me question what ethics and values your network is promoting.

It is funny how you said all Jordan did was look pretty all summer when that is not entirely the whole truth. she was able to get information from the other side to Jeff, Casey, and Laura while "looking pretty" and keeping Jeff sane. ( and was nominated twice) Also you failed to mention that Natalie won nothing and Lydia won nothing and is a flip flopping selfish brat.

This my first year of having the live feeds and BBAD. Too bad it will most likely be my last. CBS needs to stand up for all Americans and run Chima out the door. With any luck a Homeland Security Officer will be waiting there to take her to interrogation. Her sickening chackle of the Twin Towers incident and, stealing the rosary make me think the pot is calling the kettle black and it's really Chima who is the Muslim terrorist. Freedom of Speech is an honor not meant to be abused by sorehead losers. KICK HER OFF THE SHOW! There is too much hatred and spite in that woman.
If it weren't for Jeff, Jordan, Russel and Michele, last night would have been the end for me. Jeff and Jordan are just so cute together that it's hard not to want to see them. Russel and Michele with their love/hate relationship, his moodiness, her goofiness, keep it in dynamic play. Kevin is playing, in my opinion, a very smart game. Lydia and Natalie without Chima would have no game or no interest. But Chima is just no longer tolerable and yet CBS coddles her and rewards her for her threats. I think CBS would make a bigger impression on BB fans by treating her as strictly as they did Jeff with the "one sip". The look on Chima's grandparent's faces as they watched her tirade spoke volumes.

Hopefully the right people get these responses and do something about it. You can obviously see what your fan base is upset about and if you don't do something about it, you will lose alot of viewers. Racism comes in very color, its not just black and white and if your not going to recongize that the big haired idiot is making the worst comments ever that happened to our country and then laugh about b/c she can't put aside her pride, I see that it makes good T.V. for you but I'm 100% sure that if Michelle were to say those comments she would be kicked out, and you know it.

I have been a BB fan since the beginning and I have never seen such a fowl house guest as CHIMA.
Her actions on the show are appalling and it needs to be addressed through a penalty or eviction. this is ridiculous.. does CBS condone her behavior.?
yes, it does.
you may be losing a few fans of your so called reality show.
chima is disgusting and needs to go.!

I have complained to CBS here: http://bit.ly/13gZ0Z about Chima's racist comments being spun on television in her favor and the lack of consequence. I strongly encourage you all to do the same. As aforementioned, it is very likely that if Russell were to call Chima a racial slur, he would be penalized heavily for it. Chima has been getting her @$$ kissed this whole season, and she still complains. I think if her behavior goes on unnoticed, many BB fans will be disappointed and maybe stop watching. I know I will. AT THE VERY LEAST, her racial comments should be exploited on national television. She needs to face what she has said. NO ONE should be able to get away from saying those horrible things OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

chima is a person that i could never be friends with...she has some really big issues and does not need to be in the BB house....it's a shame she has "connections" and her bad behaviour is overlooked...a "Jeff sip" get a day of extra slop.,,,,but she makes an a$$ of herself and gets beauty products? What's wrong with this picture?

I concur with all the responses to Chima's behavior and comments. I hope every uses CBS feedback form to directly reply to CBS.
It is a double eviction so just let them make a choice to go out the door.

I think Chima said it best:

Chima revealed to her fellow HouseGuests on the live Internet feeds and on Big Brother: After Dark after the eviction that she was informed in the Diary Room by Big Brother, the producers, that her comments were censored during the live broadcast.

"I said, I don't think it's fair because I don't think they showed when it first was said, and I was like, 'If someone's a racist, they should be portrayed as one. You shouldn't edit it to make them look good.'"

I'm happy to see the amount of comments here from people who are bothered by Chima's racism. I understand that Braden directed nasty racial comments at Lydia and Kevin, but I was honestly sickened by the way Chima took advantage of it to get herself off the block by trying to brand anyone who voted against her as condoning racism and misogyny ,despite the fact that Chima was also calling people (Lydia and Jordon on the first BBAD) sluts and whores. I realize that BB is not responsible for the HG's opinions and that this has happened before, but I do believe that she should be penalized for bullying and threatening the production of the show at least. I hope that when she gets out of the house her racism will negatively effect her work prospects.

I understand everyones hatred towards Chima. Personally I cant stand her. However, I think that a penalty nom/and or expulsion would only fuel the fire. Besides, don't you all want to see her put up and voted out! I think that will be so much more fun. I do believe that calling Chima out on her racist remarks would be a mistake. I think it would (further) ruin the reputation of BB. If you start censoring what people say, it's no longer "reality TV." There are racist people out there and they need to be exposed as such. I think cbs should air her remarks on tv so america can hate her as much as us feedsters do!

CBS's caterng to and excusing Chima Simone's behaviour is beyond belief.
The selective editing of the show to justify Chima's racist remarks abhorrent.

What happened to Chima in the past is horrible. She was the victim of one man's evil. To then become someone who engages in a lesser form of evil is not what a strong woman would do,

Shame on CBS for allowing Grodner to foment such vile hatred.

I am sickened by Chima's behavior. She has been the biggest whiner ever. Such a sore loser! I am very surprised that CBS allowed themselves to be manipulated by her threats and subsequently taped the usually live show. Now her slurs to and about Russell have been taken to a new low! I think she should be evicted as well as Lydia for threatening to "shank their [Russell and Jeff] balls with the cork screw." The threats of violence, terrorist slurs and taking the rosary beads are not acceptable behavior!

Why are the producers trying to placate them with beauty products? Very strange. If they want to walk, America would be happier. Shame on CBS for editing the terrorist slurs to make it appear that Chima was referring to terrorizing the house and not the actual terrorist slurs she has been saying over and over again!

So she is telling me of the MILLIONS of $$$ they are making off realplayer subscribers, CBS ratings, & showtime AD mula, they CAN'T AFFORD to have more than 2 camera feeds & recordings going on at the same time??
Any other "pay for web cam" sights have cameras in every room at every time recording ALL THE TIME, & PAYING VIEWERS GET TO CHOOSE WHAT & WHEN THEY VIEW!!! Why advertize "quad cam" "uncensored" viewing when quad is 2 cameras of 4 screens 90% of the time & fish on the screen 50% of the time, not because of technical dificulties, but because they don't want PAYING viewers see UNCENSORED view as promissed. Sounds like a class action lawsuit from realplayer premium service members for breach of contract doesn't it????

We all are so appauled by Chimas racist and hate talk. By CBS letting it go on is the same as them condoning it. She needs to be kicked off the show for the sake of BB fans and for America!!!!!

It's too bad CBS has seen fit to condone racism for the sake of ratings. Of course Chima has some inside pull being friends with Marcellas Reynolds of BB3 and All Stars (who was her hook to get on the show), and best friends with Kim of Amazing Race 10. So if you think she is being favored, she obviously is.
Of course Chima has taken her inane behavior to a new level and diminished not only herself but the show in general.
I used to get a kick out of the BB experience, but since BB8 it has become a long , tiring version of Jerry Springer.
So Chima should absolutely have a penalty nom put against her, or maybe even a penalty vote. But more importantly CBS, we don't need the ghetto or redneck crap to be entertained. Why not cast people who can actually play the game.

does ms grodner have a boss? someone she has to account to for her decisions?
i am ashamed to be watching this show however praying for justice i keep watching.
chima being rewarded for threatening production? losing some of her stipend? "she mentioned this. and ms grodner doesnt want her to leave? nat ok to leave but chima is not?
sorry cbs but the twin tower comment is WAY beyond what is acceptable.

CBS, AG, what are you thinking? Chima's blatent racism must be stopped immediately. If Chima was white and was terrorizing a black person running through the house chasing after them, calling them N*gger, not once, but over and over and over, for well over a week, you would throw them out of the house so fast. There is no difference and by allowing her to continue, CBS is supporting racism. WHY AREN'T YOU DOING ANYTHING?

In addition, Terroristic Threats are illegal outside the BB house and they should not be tolerated inside it, either.

DO THE RIGHT THING, CBS. YOUR VIEWERSHIP HANGS IN THE BALANCE! I will not continue watching this show, the feeds or Showtime until you get this awful Bigot off the air!

I have been a long time BB watcher and I am dumbstruck about the filth coming out of Chima's mouth! She should definitely be penalized for her culturally racist remarks and destruction of property! If it were a white person, they would have been sent home! I am now rethinking my watching BB if she is not penalized in some way!

For AG to say she is not slanted one way or the next is a downright lie. Of course she wants people to watch the show and make it entertaining. In order to do so, she MUST give power to one side or the other. If we need proof, its her letting Chima get away with some pretty disgusting behavior. I dislike Natalie the most, I think she is vile, nasty and has an undo sense of entitlement but Chima is taking it to another level!

If Chima is not punished, this will be my last season of watching BB. I know of a lot of people who feel the same.
Disappointed in AG, CBS and BB

Why is Chima and her so called Diva Crew Being allowed to run wild in the BB House and do hurtful things to others not only to thier characters, but to thier belongings as well and How does Chima get by with her Threats against production!! She tells them what she will and will not do!!! This has been the worst House Guest to ever walk through the doors of the Big Brother House!! I think it is time that a penalty norm is awarded to this unruly Diva or else she is taken out of the house, You would have NEVER allowed this type of conduct from House Guests on past Seasons, so why NOW??? Even Evil Dick was an Angel compared to this Witch!!! I can't believe to changed your whole schedule and had to tape Thursday's Live Show this because of Chima's Threats against production and Jeff!! What is this show coming to??? Put on your Big Girl Panties and Kick her OUT!!!! Or stand your ground and pentalize her!!! What is wrong with you people!! What does she have on you???

chima has gone too far! i'm not sure if her behavior qualifies for penalty nominations but at the very LEAST, production should be in her ear in the diary room strongly encouraging her to tone it down! i do not understand how they can continue to allow these racist comments, the insensitive slurs towards 911, and lastly, and maybe the worst offense, in my opinion, taking jeff's rosary beads and laughing about it!!

chima is always calling russell out for behavior she deems inappropriate, has she ever ONCE held that judgement mirror to herself? she is a vile human being and her hypocrisy is truly loathesome. i used to feel so sorry for her with everything she's gone through and had great empathy towards her "man issues," however, she has made it impossible to feel any kind of compassion towards her.

i'm sorry, there is absolutely NO JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS and CBS needs to stop allowing her to run them around in circles!!! bribing them with "beauty products" to keep them well behaved????

ARE YOU SERIOUS? she acts as though she's doing you a huge favor by staying. newsflash, she isn't!! if you want ratings, stop cowtowing to her and let the diva do what she wants, ie: WALK OUT THE DOOR! her sense of entitlement is truly sickening to watch. and the only thing more sickening is watching a roomful of producers and network exec's cater to her deplorable behavior and actions because some drama queen is threatening to sue or walk out or throw a temper tantrum on live television. LET HER! it's her embarrassment and CBS will reap the rewards anyway (ratings!).

by the way, in the words of jeff, where are HIS beauty products?? he's one of the very few HG's who actually deserve them yet you didn't give him anything! someone high tail it over to sephora and get him some clinique for men or kiehl's for men... he deserves it!!!

i've always been a huge fan, BBAD watcher as well as the live feeds, but if this continues, this year will most certainly be the last!

Grodner and CBS executives might have protest on their hands in Los Angeles, if they allow Chima and what she said Friday morning on the live feeds to go ignored.

When someone says that he is not allowed to have a rosary, hides it and then goes on to call Russell a mother ****** Muslim terroist, then go on and on about building a bomb etc. In the real world if someone posted such things the police and higher authorities would be raiding their home, or put them under surveillance. So how can CBS do nothing, but turn it to edit Chima saying he terrorizing people in the house not to all the racist times she called him a Muslim Terrorist. Viewers are not stupid!

Such refusal of bringing this out and doing something about it shows that CBS allows racism in all aspects of their programs and people they hired. If this was a racist slur on Chima I bet CBS would be jumping on. Adam was taken to the cleaners for his comments of past Big Brother, so why not on such a racist comment the keeps on going like the energizer bunny, Chima continues because CBS and Grodner is allowing it to continue.

I'm of a Jewish and Russian Orthodox background . I learned never to judge another person. I'm am ashamed of Chima's actions and shows how far we as a nation need to go in regards to prejudice.

Prejudicial is what CBS has become on this issue.

I absolutely love Big Brother!!! Best show ever!!! I must admit I'm dissappointed in Allison Grodner's decision to let Chima's remarks go without a penlty nom. We all know if that was a white person doing all the slamming it would be a complete different story. It's a shame.

My question to AG would be, Why hasn't Chima been penalized for her outbursts of the 9-11 incident, For destruction of property, When they stole the rosary beads, dumped out Russels bag of clothes, Or when they stripped the beds and stole all the pillows and blankets. I understand they are upset to see one of their closest friends being evicted. At the same time, Other HG's have watched week after week, They're own friends being evicted and didn't throw outrages like chima, natalie and lydia. Myself and other viewers, Feel that the producers are playing favorates because of the beauty products they were awarded after " being good". Also because they are being allowed to destroy other peoples property, along with the terrorist comments which brings to the 9-11 remark last night, Where Chima had compared herself as the Twin towers and Russel as the plane. Not to mention, The producers giving information to the three girls about How well Jessie is doing after being evicted. I'm not speaking for myself or asking these questions for myself, but many old and new fans are wondering the same. I guess if i had one question it would be, How far could chima go and still be able to stay in the BB House?

I really believe that Chima should be evicted by producers or punished for her racist remarks. If someone had been racist toward an African American BB would have told them to stop.

I am in shock on what CBS is letting Chima say. There are many people who died on 9-11 and yet she is making light of it. Comparing herself to the twin towers. She needs to be held accountable for her words. She is trying to wreck a mans life which she could very well do. Russ will have to leave that house at some point and what life will he go back home to. A life where bull headed people really think he is a terrorist?
Can CBS really do this to another human being.
I, along with many other people DEMAND that something happens to Chima and someone tells her to quit saying these horrible things. If something does not change then I will be forced not to watch CBS again. I can not watch a channel that supports a human being calling another human being a lebanese terrorist and refering to herself as the twin towers.

I am sorry, but at some point you are going to have to ask yourself if ratings are really worth what you are putting people through having to watch Chima.
I pay for the live feeds and showtime after dark. I have seen the many times she has called russ a terrorist.
But.. by the way.. good job punishing Jeff for a sip of Gatorade. Atleast you are punishing the right people for a severe BB rule break. I know that sip could have wrecked a mans future.
I hope production makes the right call and does something about Chima quickly.
Thank you for listening

God bless the lives lost on 9/11. Your memory deserves better then this.

I wish Chima would get some sort of penalty for her racist comments. Called jordan whitetrash, and russ a terrorist. Here she said she wasnt and wanted brayden out of the house. So why cant something happen to her, that and her and lydia threatened violence against jeff and russ so what is up with the regulations on that . I hope Michelle puts up chima and lydia, let natalie stay in house so Jesse will go crazy not having her there and hope that chima lydia natalie in that order get evicted in next two weeks.

I would like to ask AG why Chima has not gotten a penelty for the terriosts comments, and for stealing Jeff's rosary beads.

Everyone knows the muslin terriosts toward Rusell are not because he is mean in the house, the comments are the racist kind and totally uncalled for and should not be acceptable.

Chima should of had many penality's already but she is walking around like she has CBS by the B@ll$

Grodner still didn't admit WHY the live show was pre-taped last night. I guess I would like to hear someone verify that Chima's intimidation of the producers and her threats of violence at eviction were the real answer.......

wow, you think it's a great game for someone to call someone a terrorist, hide his rosary and provoke him to try to hit her? She LAUGHED after she said that about being the twin towers. It was funny to her to laugh about 9-11. Wow, you really surprised me Ms. Grodner.

For all the grenades being lobbed at CBS and Grodner & Co. for time-shifting last night's episode, I must say that it delivered a healthy dose of shock and awe. Jessie's exit harkened back to the glory days of BB, when we would wait on the edge of our seats for the live show's fun and fireworks.

In a day and age when people twitter spoilers *before* they happen, last night's episode still managed to entertain. Nice job.
