Yes, but BB had already told them she's fine.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned or not, but I think it was around 11am when she went to the diary to, supposedly, see the doctor. The house were informed that she wouldn't be returning at 6.30pm. I don't know what kind of 'doctor' she saw, but that's a suspiciously long time to make a diagnosis. Unless of course, she went NHS.

I called for ambulance once and was in serious pain they said it would be 4 hours until an ambulance was available
I muttered a few expletives and hung up, but I should have said "Ok, I'll just lay down and die, thanks anyway, bye"

This is my very first post here, *is excited*. I think she was truly ill, went off for whatever testing or checkups were required, but had no intention on coming back. I think it was a convenient set of circumstances for her to go and not return. I've read all the jokes about her being 'Kimbot', yes, she is very emotionally unattached, but I think she's just a really unhappy person. *disclaimer - I'm not a fan of hers, I am hoping for Chris, then Christopher*

Maybe you are Kimberly

Hey now! I just think there's so much speculation and we're really not going to know anything until an 'official word' comes out about it. Personally, I think she is absolutely nuts to have hooked up with someone in the house and had sex. Yes, I know the time in there is faster than time in the real world, but seriously?!? And with him? EW! I think the boos from last week towards Steven had an effect on her, she thought about it, he's gross, let's make the most of my illness and get the heck away from it all. In my opinion of course

Hello Vixen,welcome to Tibb

[mrflibble]

I don't like to get involved in conspiracy theories, but I had the thought that maybe she and Steven planned this to get him some sympathy votes. I think that it's entirely possible that one of the newbies hinted they were going to choose her (or she strongly suspected they were going to be evicting someone and assumed it was going to be her), so she left as if sick so that Steven would be moping around the house missing her. In turn, housemates won't nominate him and the public would feel sorry for him. It would be a risky play (and wouldn't work), but if they felt like neither had a shot at winning... It's a big stretch, but because of Steven's uninterested responses I just feel like there's something more.

[lostalex]

I don't think any of us feel like we know the whole story of kimberly. It's all very ****ed up and confusing, but none of it seems genuine. i usually warm to the American housemates right away, and even root for them(even if it is wrong to root for housemates for patriotic reasons) but i never felt like she was a genuine housemate, she always felt like a plant to me.

I don't feel like i know anything more about kimberly after watching her for 5 weeks than i did on day one. The girl is a plant. She's an actress.

[CaudleHalbard]

Kimberley WAS sick.................... of Steven!

This is worse than the JFK theories. BB have had 2 shows to clear this up and they are deliberately keeping away from it. This can only mean one thing, they are worried about legal implications. Coupled with the fact that several tabloids have reported being contacted by her agents can only mean one thing....they were contacted, couldnt afford the price tag and were dropped, why else would they tell everyone they were contacted. BB also said she was getting better and as yet no hospitals have admitted treating her can only mean one thing...she went to the DR with her personal stiuff and told them she was walking. They tried to talk her round but she refused because there was little or no reason for her to go back in as her chances to win were blown and her persona couldnt stand the ridicule.

She is now free from BB and time will tell if she dumps Steven which she will, Her perception of him in the house will be greatly eroded by the public view of who and what he is, a total scammer and scammers recognize their own so thats the end of that fling. She will make between 50 to 80k on her story and Sasha will win her back and thats all we will hear of her untill the pornos hit the airways and they will as she ''opens it'' easily and in 10 yrs she will be on the scrap heap like most of her contemporaries.

Good post Sam.I have watched and enjoyed prob the last 8 BB shows so still learning but I have never been tempted to buy a magazine or news paper just to read about a HM,am I missing out and do other members do so.?

If the whole episode is a ploy by Kim it appears to be working as she appears to have inspired more interest by not being on the show.?

A little off topic but have to say that I always try to be fair when judging HM but during the time I have been a viewer I have NEVER NEVER EVER disliked a HM as much as I do Steven.I hope Kimbot gets her Mag deals as she has had to work for the money.

[CaudleHalbard]

I think we'll find the "illness" story runs for a while yet.

Her agents contacting tabloids (if this has actually happened) is not necessarily incompatible with the story.

[lostalex]

it's over now. I sincerely hope Stephen is not the dupe in all of this, based on his reactions i don't think he is, but i'm quite sure it's over.

[user104658]

Her "illness" was probably down to the stress / anxiety of the whole situation. She seems robotic because she plays her cards close to her chest but, if anything, that can just make it build up more. She probably was feeling "unwell" with it but definitely never intended to return.

I also suspect that her and Steven must have discussed it. Either deliberately unshown by BB, or they've been having sneaky whispering sessions off-mic under the covers. He definitely knew she was going, anyway.

i concur.

[chuff me dizzy]

We have had hm8s who have walked before, it was shown in an honest and open way ,why is it different this time ?

[Achilles]

Why has Steven been so over the top weird since she has left?

He has rediscovered his freedom maybe, and wonders what his BB experience would have been like if Kim hadn't been in the show.

[CaudleHalbard]

His "shock" at her departure/illness seemed badly acted.

[CaudleHalbard]

Stephen and Kim want some mag deals, even though she's sick.... of him, that is!

If she had just walked, not only would she lose her BB expenses payment (about Ł1200 or so), it would look like she'd walked away from Steven.

This way they can be tearfully reunited and earn some dosh before quietly going their separate ways.

That's my conspiracy theory anyway.

[Kizzy]

Maybe she couldn't be certain she would get evicted over steven due to his boos and decided to force the issue, allowing her access to social media and contacts she could then gauge how lucrative and deals would be and obviously they were worth more than going back in and trying to win the show. She knew she had little chance of that after luisas comments were revealed anyway.

One factor she and steven miscalculated was the negative reaction from viewers and HM over the sex.How long has she been in the UK has she watched any previous UK BB.?

Is the USA version different. Steven would of course considered himself an "expert" on how to play and win so the decision to open it would have been more strategy than desire. He would have know what would be shown on TV and how but did she.?

I think she has been living in the UK for about 3 years, not 100% sure though. She probably has watched BB before and am sure they would have both been well aware of what would be shown, even though he says not.
