Why was Chima kicked off? Did she Quit? Details Here.
August 16th, 2009NEW! Scroll down for a clip from the Early Show on the issue.
The saga of Chima’s “exit” from Big Brother 11.
Friday night Big Brother had the House Guests go out back to check out what we assume was to be the game for the POV competiton on Saturday. Chima had stayed in bed where she had been ever since the nominations ceremony where she was nominated by Michele.
Chima seemed to have an attitude where she just didn’t care about taking directions anymore. Kevin came in and asked her to come out to try the golf game. When she came out she was not wearing her mic and Big Brother asked her to do so, she ignored the request and proceeded to hit golf balls. When Natalie suggested that she go get her mic she waved her off saying she didn’t care. Lydia started to walk to get it and she waved her off (below).

Finally Kevin got the mic and Natalie handed it so Chima.


As soon as it was it in Chima’s hand, she turned and tossed it in the hot tub and went back to hitting golf balls.


Natalie and Lydia fished out the mic but Chima never wore it, and I am sure it was ruined.

Later on in the evening Chima was given another microphone by Big Brother and eventually put it on but it was clear she didn’t care to wear it as she sat perched on top of the washing machine to keep Jeff, Jordan, Michele and Russel from using it.

Around 1:15am the cameras went to the ‘fishbowl’ and didn’t return until 2:45am and by that time Chima was out.
The “real” story of what went on in those 90 minutes may never really be known but here are a couple links and some additional information that Kevin and Natalie revealed early Sunday morning on the live feeds.
CBS’s Official Statement: “Chima has been evicted by the producers from the Big Brother house for violating the rules. She will not be part of the show’s jury. Her eviction will be addressed on an upcoming broadcast of the show.” LINK
A portion of an email Chima sent to the “Big Brother Examiner” : “I did in fact quit the show, although there are reports on EW from CBS to the contrary. Big Brother would like everyone to believe I was kicked off for not following the rules, but I went to the producers repeatedly over the past couple of days wanting to leave….wanting out of that house!” LINK to full article
Early Sunday morning, just after midnight, Kevin, Natalie and Lydia discussed the microphone incident and said that Chima was informed the mic cost $4,000 and that Chima said she didn’t care, to send her home.
