Cut- Laurel Johnson

621.	Laurel Johnson - Season 36 - Ghost Island

Just so y’all know, I was actually rooting for Laurel and thought she could win for a long time. She seemed like a smart young woman and I do admit her trashing Chris in confessionals was a bit fun. I didn’t blame her for not flipping at final 12 because it wouldn’t have made sense. But then, episode 10 came along and she lost me. She turned down a great opportunity to flip and blindside a girl who was playing a good social game, she got rid of someone I liked in Desiree and then she continued to enable the awful men Domenick and Wendell. She could’ve turned on them at any time as she was always the swing vote, they were big threats, had 88 idols and advantages and she could’ve had an actually chance to win if she would’ve flipped. Literally from the final 12 to the finale (except final 10), we had the same exact confessional from Laurel saying she might flip as they are big threats but is afraid because she’s not sure she can trust the other side. I can understand that especially at early merge, but when it’s late merge and you gotta make a move to better your chances to win, you have to flip.

Yes, I know this is a character based ranking and not a game one. But when someone’s gameplay impact my favourites in a wrong way, I have to dislike them. But even then, Laurel doesn’t have any personality. Except that one time when she talked shit about Chris, she would always drone about potentially flipping in a robotic voice, and that one time where she got frustrated because she didn’t get picked for a reward, she raised her voice for one octave and still didn’t flip. Remember when she didn’t want to flip on Wendell because he let her have the immunity she rightfully won? Remember when she also thought she was gonna win 4-3-3 because the jurors wouldn’t know who to vote between Dom and Wendell? Lmao. I would appreciate the delusion if she didn’t enable the awful ones. Good riddance.

Save- Dana Lambert who I know is to blame for the failures of Queens Katie and Dawson, but she didn’t last as long as the other nominees so she can stay.
