Tonight was Chima’s nominations . . . but first what happened before them.

Chima won HOH and was thrilled. Lydia prepared to go up as she knew Natalie would convince Chima to put her up, as she hated her (and vice-versa).

Jeff, in his diary room session, said Chima may have HOH, but he’s in control. He loves this power, he’s going to use it (so he says) even though it will make enemies . . . but he says he’ll use it wisely (he has said in comments if he ever got HOH he’ll put Natalie and Jessie against each other since nobody else has the guts to do so, and if nobody does they’ll skate to final 2).

Chima got her HOH room and got a letter from her mom. Her mom is sick, she simply told Chima she was getting better and has hope from her doctors. (We don’t know what her illness is.)

Michelle went to kiss some HOH butt to save her own. Chima confided that Nat and Jessie are in her ear and they want Russell to stay, but she has to do what benefits her. She wants a woman to win, so why not put one of the strongest men up who has wronged her.

Russell came to see Chima to apologize, worried he would go home. Chima admitted she said many times should she get HOH she would send him home, he must know that by now. Russell claimed they had a personal issue and it spiraled out of control. He is sorry, but she claimed she had a hard time trusting her.

Chima talked to many in the house about the fact that she was raped, and she survived it, and she wants to do something to help others out there. (Side Note: her rapist was found and convicted based on DNA evidence from what I’ve been told/read)

Jordan remained worried about her safety. Jeff tried to assure her that they’d be okay, admitting keeping his power from her was hard for him.

Jeremy Piven showed up to visit. He was part of the food comp (aka Have Have-Not comp). For the competition the back yard looked like a car-lot from the 70s. The houseguests chose teams and had to fill their old station wagon with items from the backyard. Those who filled them with the most valuable items (point wise) would win. They had to be able to close the car and get the whole team in the car as well.

Russell, Natalie, Jessie and Jordan were the winning team and got to see the new movie “The Goods.” Chima also got to see it as she bet their team would win. Sadly Jeff, Michelle, Lydia and poor Kevin (2 weeks in a row!) ended up as the “Have Nots.” Russell was the big winner of the comp, he won 10K.

Jessie became a big paranoid mess because of the “Wizard Power” (what they are calling Jeff’s power) and was worried he would go home this week.

Chima’s nominations finally came around and she put up Lydia and Russell. She claimed she put up Lydia because she wanted to make sure she couldn’t vote to keep Russell. Russell was up and she told him it should be no surprise to him, because she she couldn’t trust him.

I’ve posted tons of spoilers in posts below, you can find out who wins POV and what happens with it, should you choose to 🙂
