Lauren Rimmer
Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers’ loaded-up schemer, holding an extra vote and half an idol when one lonely ballot sent her home.
Known for
Lauren started on Yawa feeling like an outsider and itching to get rid of the unpredictable Patrick Bolton, and she got her wish at the tribe's second Tribal Council. The tribe switch left her as the lone original Yawa staying put, paired with Ben Driebergen against a Soko majority, but a run of challenge wins kept them safe.
At the merge she and Ben became swing votes and sided against Soko. Lauren then found an extra vote, won immunity over Cole Medders, and used a reward trip to build a final four with Ben, Ashley Nolan and Devon Pinto, which blindsided JP Hilsabeck and Joe Mena. She even assembled a full idol from two halves. Then Ben overheard her group talking about cutting him, and he told Mike Zahalsky everything. Lauren handed Mike half her idol to buy his trust, but he tossed it into the fire. Ben played his own idol and his single vote eliminated Lauren, extra vote unused. On the jury she voted for Ben.
