It seemed more like strategy to make him feel alone and weak and threatened rather than it being a genuine emotional reaction.

But I think things took a wrong turn once she became HOH. The power made it hard for her to see things clearly. The fact that she nominated Jimmy and orchestrated his eviction was a bad move. He would have never put her up.\u00a0She lost an ally, a number for her group, and didn\u2019t have the sense to realize it at any point. She got a bit too confident with her standing in the house and couldn\u2019t read the others or how they felt about her. She couldn\u2019t see when she was coming across too strong and dictatorial to her housemates. But in her exit interview, she was gracious and lovely.
