Tuesday night, CBS finally gave the people what they were waiting for.
Ladies and gentlemen, the great Chim-meltdown of Big Brother 11.
With three days to put it together, Big Brother did a great job of making Chima the diva on a mission of supreme self-destruction.
After being put up, Chima refused to...well, do anything. She threw her microphone in the hot tub and refused to wear the backup. Eventually, she was called to the Diary Room, where she heard the following.
"Alright, no need to sit down. You're gonna go out this way."
The houseguests were called to the living room, where Executive Producer Allison Grodner told them that Chima obviously didn't want to be in the game, and she's out.
Generally speaking, anytime you actually hear the voice of Allison Grodner, it's hit the fan. I'm sure she wasn't thrilled to be called to the house on a Saturday just because one of her houseguests wouldn't put their mic on.
Idle thought, you know the opening credits sequence that shows all of the houseguests, and the ones who've been evicted, it shows them walking out the door to meet Julie Chen? I wonder if on Thursday's show, they'll show Chima being led out by security.
So Chima's ejection left her alliance completely shaken, as not only did they lose a vote in the house but also a jury member. She really screwed everybody with her secession from the game.
Michele makes the announcement that her Head of Household week ends, since one of her nominations went home. She did get the result she wanted, even if she only got two nights in the HoH room.
The new HoH competition begins, it's a golf-related game set against the backdrop of Lydia drinking like a fish, and getting hammered on champagne.
Jordan wins when Jeff admittedly throws the competition, and Lydia winds up wearing the Captain Unitard suit, the spandex bodysuit worn far better in previous seasons. A drunken Lydia continues her rants, and gets mouthy enough to assure she'll be on the block again.
I know that strange things happen in the Big Brother house, and forty days of isolation can really wear at someone's nerves, but this year seems to be even more unstable than usual. Whoever had the idea to give Lydia alcohol in the middle of the afternoon either deserves a reprimand, or an Emmy.
Jordan gives everyone the HoH tour except Lydia, who's angry, drunk, or asleep, it's hard to tell. Jordan and her mom appear to be the same age.
Nominations for the week are Lydia and Natalie, no big surprises there.
Let's just take a moment and examine the last week for Jeff. He uses his "Coup D'etat" power to save his ally and evict his biggest rival, Jessie. Chima then gets nominated, goes nuts and takes herself out of the house without even requiring a vote.
Then, with a 4-3 edge in the house, his showmance wins the HoH and puts up two members of the other alliance. He could wind up gutting the other side with three evictions in eight days, and he gets to hang out in the HoH room with Jordan for the rest of the week.
That's the kind of luck you take to Vegas.
So from here, we've got another huge Thursday show. We'll get a Power of Veto competition, ceremony, and evictions, all probably live.
