Karen is one of the two people who massively spell out the entire narrative of pre-jury and you cannot tell any o the story without her participation in it. Which is why it’s both like trahic that she goes out so early here. But also her demise is so scrumptious that it was well worth it at the same time. Karen came on to Véner and instantly became the communication network of the entire tribe. She put an insane amount of time into her interpersonal relationships and really brought a lot of the people who were initially taking time to come out of their shells to the forefront (Heinrichs, Alicia). Karen immediately took note of her biggest threats (Ricky) and completely re-arranged her early plans to situate herself into a more decorated position. She facilitated the Eliza boot after Eliza didn’t really reach out, and then managed to set herself up on Véner to pull off a great blindside on Jack to hurt Ricky if they lost again. Karen swaps onto nu!Véner as the clear leader of the OG!Véner’s which really ticked off the og!Chanmé 3. Karen had cemented herself as the leader of the three person alliance with Alicia/Heinrichs, and with old friend Maddy on the tribe there was really nothing Karen couldn’t do here. She took out Matt Daigger at Maddy’s bequest also taking out an idol which she subsequently helped Alicia find. After Julia’s quit, Karen’s game plummeted as Maddy’s plans the flip back and forth were sped up by the quit. Maddy ultimately took a stab at her friend to make sure that she was the only threat, leaving Karen blindsided. I think we harped on Karen a lot for putting too much trust in Maddy and don’t really highlight how insane her game was up to that point. I think if she played again she wouldn’t take her foot off the pedal and would make it far. She was loyal and strong, great character. Also would like to note she set up the Alicia/Heinrichs duo. So. Yeah! - Samm
Karen is the hero of Endure Dissonance. I voted her as such and I don't think she gets that recognition. She came in a fan favourite and her feelings and viewpoints almost always aligned with what the viewers wanted to see her do. Meninism? Nah we don't like that go align with Alicia! She did that! The viewers want her to potentially target Ricky early on so that bombs keep dropping in the early stages of the game? She ponders it and the crowd erupts with thunderous cheering and clapping. She was always positive and a warm presence to be around, she was thoroughly entertaining and as Sam said -- really defined what the card twist was all about. It wouldn't have been as fun without her. Her alliances friendships with Justin and Alicia are what kept me gravitated towards OG Vener. I could tell they were genuine and embedded in mutual care and being a sucker for friendship I couldn't help but stan them the entire way. They worked so well together and were even able to organically hide that she had one on ones with both of them and pretty much bring them together. She was so well insulated on that first OG Vener tribe and everyone loved and thought they had Karen as an ally. She was the nucleus as I wrote many months ago: whatever Karen wanted to do, Karen could have gotten away with. The swap looked nothing but favourable for Karen and would have been had it not been for a few missteps -- but even then those missteps worked out fine? Alicia and Karen finding the idol and their celebratory dances wouldn't have happened had Daigger not been blindsided and to have been robbed of that moment would have been detrimental for my mental well-being. I actually remember being sad and dreading the game for a brief lapse in time when NuVener lost Mysterium. I was heartbroken knowing what was to come. 
Karen's reputation, for whatever reason??? lead to her demise. I remember sitting in on one of those solo confessionals with Maddy where she gave a speech about how she was cut by someone close before and wasn't going to let it happen again and knew she was going to cut Karen. All of these rumors of her past game reputation really got out of hand?? I learned recently actually that Karen and Maddy were never actually that close and wasn't really circled in on Karen's plans... but I think her fixation with giving MVM phallic fruits in her fruit vendor role skewed the perception (lol, suggestive banana). I still have the opinion that Karen isn't khaotic. She's fun and her calls with her allies exemplified that. She's entertaining, her random quirky quips during dead time during TC voting (Joshua Joshman, her signature Animal Crossing playthroughs, etc) ensured eyes were always going to be on her and they never wavered. Had it not have been for Karen giving Alicia the idol after Karen accidentally claimed it (lol), Alicia wouldn't have had an ace in the hole that lasted all season -- and maybe Alicia wouldn't have even found it! Who knows! Idk I tuned out of that idol hunt to play Fortnite or something probably lol. Heinrichs swearing to avenge Karen in his confessional and doing so, ugh, perfect. Her absence was felt by her allies on a personal level which again, ugh I love friendship it's great. I also felt like Karen's boot really helped make the cast divide transparent that set up the first few rounds of allegiances in the merge. She brought together the Alicia/Heinrichs duo in my mind, and planted the seeds that grew for rounds and rounds after her departure. She also was a killer pre-juror, keeping the energy light and cheery with game nights and gargle games, and just her overall enthusiasm. Karen's an all star, and when I think back to the season I consider her as one of the main stars. THE hero. Unable to be disputed from my point of view. - Stephen
