Survivor Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers power rankings: Episode 9

#4. Lauren Rimmer

First off, Lauren deserves a big round of applause from the Survivor fandom for pulling off her Immunity win against the entire tribe. More importantly, she won it over professional wilderness expert/camp snack-eater Cole Medders and got big credits for allowing the majority to vote him out the last episode.

Her social game is quite remarkable, as she’s found her way into the middle of all the action. Better yet, she has a Secret Advantage that allows her to vote twice at an upcoming Tribal Council, something that may come into play as early as this week. We’ve already noted a few times that she’s positioned to make a move against the majority, but who knows if she’ll pull it off.

Why she’s better positioned than Ashley is that she hasn’t gone against Ben yet, with the two demonstrating trust in each other. Could we see Lauren abandon that trust as Ben wrests more power from the Round Table, or will we see her bide her time to make an even bigger move near the end of the game? It’s an exciting time to be a Lauren Rimmer fan.
