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.

Yes she has said she doesnt like the nomination process, if that is masking her "real self" then she isnt alone, others have voiced the same.

She already had an idea who she was voting for, she spoke to the boys to confirm she was right in her choice, she had said before she didnt like it & how it changed the atmosphere.
I have not seen her be nasty about the girls she just didnt agree with their behaviour, i dont see a problem with that.
