Lauren Rimmer, a commercial fisherman, jumped from the Hustlers into Ben's Hero coalition at the merge and quietly became a key vote. She earned an extra-vote advantage by sitting out one Tribal to bank a second vote later, using it to help force the tie that sent Desi home.
She also found half of a split hidden idol but trusted the wrong allies with the secret, and it was destroyed before she could use it. At the final seven, Ben played an idol on himself, voided the vote against him, and sent Lauren out — extra vote still unused — as the fifth juror.
