Remembered for her wacky personality, strong social game, and loyalty to the Pinky Swear Alliance, Karen found herself flying under the radar for most of the game after being placed on the block as a pawn to evict her ally Lori Valenti during Week 2. During the second half of the Double Eviction on Week 9, Karen's closest ally Nakomis Dedmon won Head of Household and nominated Drew Daniel and Michael Ellis, which initially meant Karen was safe. However, Drew's showmanceDiane Henry won the Power of Veto and used it on him, meaning Karen would be nominated by default. She was evicted during the second half of the Double Eviction by a unanimous 2-0 vote, placing 5th and becoming the 5th member of the jury.
