==Survivor==
As a fan of the show, Laura was placed on the Gota tribe. After the first Reward Challenge, Laura joined the six-person Gota Alliance. Following Gota's first Immunity Challenge loss on Day 5, Laura suggested her alliance blindside Allie Pohevitz due to her close relationship with Reynold Toepfer and for being perceived as the most strategic member of the rival Cool Kids Alliance. She also spotted Reynold attempting to hide the tribe's Hidden Immunity Idol in his pants ahead of the vote. At Tribal Council, she forced Reynold to show it to the tribe, putting him and the remainder of his alliance in a precarious position.
At the Day 7 Immunity Challenge, Laura struggled with swimming to the point that Reynold had to aid her. This greatly contributed to Gota's loss, and Laura feared for her position in the tribe. In order to keep the target off herself, Laura promised Reynold that she and Julia Landauer would join his alliance in voting Shamar Thomas out. However at Tribal Council, Laura remained loyal to her original alliance and voted out Hope Driskill after a tied split vote.
Following Gota's next immunity loss on Day 10, Laura's weakness in challenges was again a topic of conversation. Wanting to preserve the tribe's strength, Matt Bischoff urged the rest of the Gota Alliance to vote out Laura instead of the remaining outsiders. While much of the group was hesitant in doing so, they ultimately followed Matt's advice. As a result, Laura was unanimously voted out 6-0 (Reynold played his Idol, negating Laura's vote against him) at Tribal Council.
