RNO: What did you try to do to counter John's plans against you?

Laura: We knew one of the boys had to go, and we got out Erik. We weren't too worried - when I came back from Foa Foa, Brett leans over and says they're going to try to throw the challenge and vote you out, but Dave and I aren't going to do it. When Shambo sits me out, I was like, "Oh shoot, they're really going to do this." That challenge took so long, I was thinking they were doing it, but it was just a tough challenge. That again confirmed John was coming after me.

We didn't really do anything to counter it because I knew Brett would never vote against me and neither would Dave. I wasn't too worried at that point about John until the merge came. When the merge came, I knew Russell was coming for me, I knew Shambo was, I knew John was, I knew Erik was.

I wish that when mistakes happen, and people who know each other are cast, the show would just cop to it. Hey, mistakes happen, and unless Brett wins this whole thing, who really cares? Meanwhile, it looks like we missed a huge part of why Erik was voted out.

It's going to get out anyway, it did with Laura/Casey/Jessie on BB, and it did here, apparently in one of her first interviews. It would look far less fishy if the show just did a blurb saying, ooops, and let us watch the strategy and fall out from that, especially when it obviously really did end up impacting the game.

I would have loved watching that additional layer, and Brett running to her and spilling the boy's plan, and using John as target this time would have made more sense too.

The really frustrating part is that Brett would have given me that necklace had he hit that target and won. He told me because he knew he was safe and Shambo would not write his name down. It was really disheartening when I didn't get a chance to go for the necklace and when Mick put his arrow inside of Brett's. It's hard and I was like, "There goes my shot."

I really liked that interview. So often they are just stupid, but this one actually did get to the heart of a bunch of stuff, aside from the huge reveal that she knew Brett. Her description of Shambo not being excluded and possible jealousy there rang true.

This part was also interesting, apparently Russell certainly wasn't the only one searching landmarks for the idol. I understand the editing of this, but...

RNO: What was the first thought that went through your mind last week when Russell stood up with the immunity idol for the second Tribal Council in a row?

Laura: I wanted to know where he found it because I was at that bridge all day. I was looking under it, I was looking all over. I was looking for the idol that Erik left with because I didn't know he had it and I was still assuming we had an idol on our beach. I was at that bridge - there are only a certain amount of landmarks at camp. I'd been searching all over, so I wonder when it got placed there - it was just kind of suspicious to me.

RNO: Before seeing it on TV last night, did you know he had found his third idol?

Laura: We knew he had the third. Even though we didn't see him find it. It was kind of hilarious, him playing the cat and mouse game - that was hilarious, him running and jumping through the jungle. It was hilarious. Then all of a sudden, you see him lying on the swing. It's like the cat that just ate the mouse, he just about had the fur hanging out of my mouth. We were like, that sucker has it.
