Miz said since he's a nice guy, he's going to let her stay. but plans to make her life miserable week after week now.

Just then, John Morrison came down to the ring. Morrison told Miz neither of them want Big Daddy V to get voted in, but Miz needs to face reality that nobody will vote for him. Morrison then asked Kelly why she associates with The Miz when she could align herself with Morrison. Morrison told Kelly he can tell she's been wanting to spend a night in his Palace of Wisdom.
