Tonight’s Big Brother elimination was pretty anti-climatic considering the turbulent start to the week when Chima was asked to leave the house after throwing her microphone in the hot tub, refusing to put it back on and basically acting like a brat.

Tonight, Lydia was evicted which was not a huge surprise, though there was a play earlier in the week to back door Russell. But after Jordan won POV, she chose to keep Lydia and Natalie on the block rather than put Russell up. At the end of tonight’s episode, the house guests were still competing for HoH so we’ll have to wait until Sunday to find out who the next HoH will be.

Chima did make a statement about Big Brother to Hollyscoop.com, a site she once worked for, but it wasn’t about why she left the house, it was about why she called Russell (a Lebanese-American) a “terrorist”:

“I used a phrase that was insensitive given his Middle Eastern descent, and I apologize to all who are justifiably offended with my use of that racially charged term. Russell constantly demoralized many of us on a consistent basis and his conduct was alarming, daunting and terrifying. Fortunately, for me, I do not have to be subjected to those tirades anymore. I am going on with my life in the real world. I wish the remaining Big Brother housemates the best of luck.”
