She's always made a big play, in and out of the diary room, of saying that she finds nominating hard. IMO this is because she's fully aware that she might come across as a viscious, old cow and feels she needs to pretend that she isn't.

Instead of being straightforward and giving her real reasons for nominating younger, stronger, more attractive woment, (and I include Coleen in this group), she seizes on any plausible reason to nominate them on behalf of other HMs.

She's always had a weakness for younger men and this is why she is desperate to suck up to them. (Unfortunate turn of phrase in view of the banana, I know.) By pointedly asking them if they felt they were being played, she sent them a clear signal that she was going to nominate Rhian and Danica.

Killing two brds with one stone in this way may be perceived as clever to some, but I still maintain that she's a sly, old dog, rather than an intelligent one. Whatever her IQ, she's a nasty, conniving piece of work, who should be voted out at the earliest opportunity.
