my thoughts exactly. I think the producers were hoping the public would vote Ken out, thus removing the problem. Looks like the backlash against Chloe was going to scupper that.
I support Chloe btw and don't think she deserves the stick she is getting.
I also believe there would have been more hm's up for eviction following face to face noms, until it became apparant that they risked Perez being voted out, so they just put Ken up.
