Laura Morett (39) Hometown: Salem, Ore. Occupation: Office Manager Laura Morett is a 39-year-old Hawaiian mother, wife of 21 years and also a grandmother. Her beauty is complimented by the fact that one of her occupations is fitness instructor, which helps her stay in shape and gives her the energy to keep up with her three kids and two-year-old grandchild. When she is not spending time with her family, working out or riding her Harley, this conservative Christian is running the lobby message center at the Oregon State Capitol building for over 400 lobbyists. Similar religious and political beliefs, as well as the fact that her daughter had a child at 18, has Laura referring to herself as a, “fit version of Sarah Palin.” Laura enjoys listening to Christian music and is studying women’s ministry. In addition, Laura counsels couples in her church based on her experiences in a long-lasting marriage with a man she describes as her other half. Determined and competitive, she freely admits that she wants to win SURVIVOR for the money but in doing so claims that she would never do anything to compromise her faith to get it. Currently, Laura resides in Salem, Ore. and her birthday is July 30th.

I just got done listening to Laura's post-game interview on Survivor Fans Podcast, during which Laura proclaimed herself to be the first woman in Survivor history to win back to back immunities. I wonder what Kelly Wigglesworth would say to that, considering Kelly won FOUR back to back immunities in Season 1? Laura needs to get over herself. (once again, just venting. off my box now...)

Further to my post above... Since Laura raised the topic of women winning back to back immunities, just out of curiosity, I looked at past seasons and she's not even close to setting a record with her two back to back wins. As stated above, Kelly Wigglesworth won a record-breaking FOUR back to back immunities in Season 1, Survivor Borneo. Kim J. won 2 back to back immunities in Season 3, Survivor Africa. Tammy won 2 back to back immunities in Season 4, Survivor Marquesas. Jenna Morasca won 2 back to back immunities in Season 6, Survivor Amazon. Darrah won 3 back to back immunities in Season 7, Survivor Pearl Islands. And last, but definitely not least... Amanda Kimmel won 2 back to back immunities in Season 15, Survivor China, and another 2 back to back immunities in Season 16, Survivor Micronesia Fans v. Favorites. I say again, Laura needs to get over herself. And as a side note, I do wish the producers would cast players who actually love the game and have been fans of the series versus the publicity <24> they have been tending towards for a while now. There are so many people who love the game; who study the game; who would give almost anything to play the game, it just seems almost offensive to the fans that these limited slots go to people who have hardly watched the series. More than half of the players this season were recruited for the show and had hardly watched a full season. I know this is an old topic, but it's one that continues to irk me. Okay, now officially off my soapbox.
