I think Karen is so scared of being evicted that she will vote whatever way saves her own neck. She got real nervous when Adria said that they (the cool kids) want her out because she is married and they only want single people in the sequester house. It was mentioned that Karen would be the next one out after Adria then. If Karen thinks she can be safe from the boys next week if she would vote with them against Adria. She would do so in a minute and leave Will and the others out on their own. She is feeling her way around and she may think she can vote with the guys this week and then she doesn't have to win HOH next week because nobody will put her up. Of course we know she can't believe anything the guys tell her. But Karen always thinks she has Holly snowed. So she probably thinks Holly would be on her side. Plus she knows Will/Diane/Nakomis would go after the boys before Karen. So Karen can float around.

Karen would rather be in an alliance with Will. But she is scared they don't have the numbers. And Karen has never trusted Adria. So I don't know for sure if Karen would vote for Holly to leave. If Drew does break the tie and keep Holly. Then Karen could be up on that block next week and have Holly mad at her. So if Karen thinks Adria is bound to go in a tie breaker anyway. Then why not vote on the majority side.

I think Karen's playing smart. As much as we hate them, the 4 horsesh*ts are the only alliance that has truly gelled. She may as well try to join them while they still need numbers to succeed.

As it stands, my money says Noxema goes this week. Holly probably won't even be on the block come eviction b/c she will select Jase for GV Challenge, he will win, remove her and Drew will have to pick someone else.

Karen sees this potential. She also realizes that if/when Holly is removed from the block, she is a likely target to be nominated if she doesn't join the forces now.

They of course will welcome her (for now) because if eviction played out as it stands now, the only people voting for Cumulo Nimbus are Jase, Scott, and Michael (Drew and Holly don't vote). Voting for Holly are Adria, Diane, and Will. So it seems Karen is placing herself in a swing vote position. Since it appears that the Horsesh*ts alliance is the strongest (in terms of winning challenges) she is smart to join them and ride it out as long as she can. Maybe she'll stir up some trouble and try to break them apart.

I apologize for the last reply. I posted it before finding ou the results of the GV. Oops!

I'm thinking that Will, Karen, Diane and Nakomis will vote for Holly and Cowboy, Jase and Scott will vote for Adria. Marvin is the swing vote. Someone has to let him know that he is gone next week if he doesn't vote for Holly. He hates Holly anyway. Hopefully someone will tell him that the 4H are going after him next week.

That's what I was thinking also. It just makes more sense for Marvin to vote out Holly. However, he seemed to be trying really hard to fit in with the 4 whorsemen.

Karen is definately just schmoozing. They are going to try and make it look as if Marvin is the one who voted for Holly when the vote is tie - however the 4 Horses asses are now saying they are going to vote for Holly anyway.
