PUSH COMES TO SHOVE: DREW HoH, LORI OUT
Jase's removal of Holly from the eviction block works to perfection as Marvin then puts Karen up for eviction and effectively demolishes the fledgling Will/Lori/Karen alliance. Marvin makes the understatement of the week when he talks about the Karen/Lori situation: "Karen was campaigning to keep Lori in the house. I don't think she's campaigning now." And, while Jase may have been voting with his heart, he claims it was his head. "It was a no-brainer. The numbers were bigger than the horsemen's numbers."
As always, Will wields his rapier wit, saying, "It's just another case of when bad things happen to good people." As HouseGuests gossip and plot, Will reveals what had been the glue that kept him, Karen and Lori together: "We wanted to do this as honest as we could…never sacrificing our morals or our characters." The heat begins to mount as the two one-time friends circulate in an effort to keep from getting tossed. Karen, laying the groundwork for the future, has a sit-down with Marvin asking not that he necessarily get in an alliance with her, but perhaps they should share information. This immediately sends shockwaves through the house with Scott pulling Michael and Jase aside saying maybe it's time to get rid of Marvin next week. Diane, ever ready to do anything to get Scott or Jase out of the house quickly, clues Marvin in that they may be gunning for him and a future collaboration may be in the offing. Jase admits he would put Marvin out, saying, "He shouldn't trust me as far as he can throw me."
Irony seems to be the mood of the day as we see Karen and Lori talking at the table in the backyard in front of Cowboy (Michael), dishing on what a shame it is that people are such followers. They converse openly about how sad it is that some people choose to follow the stronger people, thinking it might be to their benefit, when really they are being taken for a ride. Michael just sits and eats his salami as he listens to their conversation.
As voting time draws near Karen admits to feeling sick to her stomach while Lori, who would like to stay, seems pretty resigned to her fate.
