Chima: I just didn’t want to play a fixed game anymore, so I left in dramatic style. I was giving zero ****s before it was a thing. It was never about me tossing the microphone. By making it about my microphone and breaking the rules they’ve excused for many houseguests before and after me, I’m the bad guy. I maintain I quit. I was leaving due to what I saw as rigging of the game, and the producers figured they’d one-up me by evicting me and making a two-part production out of it. It makes for better television, right? I’m so much more than that one-dimensional character from "Big Brother." I’ll be proving that in the real world for the rest of my life.


Great read!

She’s like, “Dan is your favorite player.” Then I got flown to L.A. Then they ask, "So why do you like Dan?" And I said, “Listen, guys, I gotta be honest with you: I don’t even know who Dan is.Me and Jordan bonded because we’d never really watched the show in-depth like that."
Oh dear

Quote:
I remember Allison Grodner, the producer, asked me, “What if America perceives you as being a bitch?” And I just turned to her and said, “I’m going to be the bitch with 500 G’s. I. Don’t. Care.”
Yesss

Quote:
Chima: Every single person that I listed on my application received a phone call. Everyone. Casting dug into my past. They were pressing for something other than what they were getting. And a lot of what they were getting was, “Chima’s fun. Chima’s sweet. Chima’s my funniest friend." That didn’t fit with the angry-black-woman trope they were trying to paint, but they cast me anyway and proceeded to press my buttons to get what they wanted.
Preach it Chima!

Quote:
Andy: For the first five weeks of the summer, me, Amanda, McCrae and Judd were in an alliance called the Goof Troupe, which really never even made TV. And we were the strongest alliance in the house. We were the last four people nominated for eviction. We literally ran every single HoH from behind the scenes and they didn’t even show it.
This is interesting - maybe it's because the racism story arc was leading the show during the first few weeks and the game was kind of swept away for a bit.

Chima can say she quit all she wants but the truth of the matter is that she got kicked out for acting like a 2 year old when she didn't get her way.

Actually Chima has always said that she told the producers that she wanted to leave but when they wouldn't let her she started to get pissy hence the microphone throwing, not going to the DR etc. This is why Alison just said 'come with me, don't sit down.' When they edited the show, they made it look like Chima was removed. This is why they made Jordan say in the DR that Chima has been breaking the rules from Day 1 which wasn't true at all. Also it took until after Chima left the house for Allison to say that Chima was 'removed' from the house although Chima said she wanted to leave.
