Possibilities why Penner voted for Abi:

1. Penner might think that Skupin would vote with them, and if Abi uses her HII to Pete, he might say to Malcom to use the HII for himself/Jeff, whoever Penner felt would be eliminated making Abi the collateral damage of the votes.

2. Penner is convinced that Skupin & Lisa -- two CAs he looks close with as much as they are alliance enemies -- wouldn't flip to vote out Pete (Lisa might convince Skupin to go with the majority even though Skupin is in the bottom of the alliance) and seeing that him voting for Pete would just create a tie in the vote and revote and possibly make them pick rocks (is it DEFINITELY still the tie-breaking mechanic? People as so afraid of it that I am not sure that it is still that, seeing that the Philippine version has a tie-breaker challenge in one tribe at 6 members) decided to be the "swing vote" and vote for Abi to remove the vocal "no to returnees" threat.
