Karen Singbeil is the runner-up of Big Brother Canada 5.
Known for her acid tongue and short temper, Karen made a name for herself in the house despite her age by winning the first HOH competition and nominating two big physical threats. Following this big move, Karen laid low and let her relationships with The Six to keep her safe. As the game progressed, Karen played the middle and the fact that she was not seen as a threat kept her from being targeted by her fellow houseguests. When her frenemy Kevin Martin won the final HOH, he took Karen with him to the final two as he thought he would be able to beat her. He was correct and the jury awarded him the win over Karen in a 9-0 vote, thus making Karen the first Canadian player and second overall housguest to receive zero jury votes to win. Despite her weak gameplay throughout the season, Karen was a favorite among fans for her feisty personality and frequent life advice she would give her younger houseguests.
