Koh-Lanta[]
Laura was selected by Nicolas Pretot to be a part of the Paniman tribe. After losing the first Immunity Challenge, Frédéric Khouvilay, Clémence Noquet, and Laura voted against Tania Cakarevic, but Célia Desfontaines was voted out instead. The Paniman tribe won the following two Immunity Challenges, keeping its members safe for those two cycles. At the Final Sixteen, a tribe switch took place and Laura was assigned by Rudy Noël to be a member of the second Paniman tribe. With the second Paniman tribe consisting of five original Paniman tribe members and three original Tinago tribe members, Laura found herself in a comfortable majority for the remainder of the tribal phase.
After the tribes merged, Gilles De Baere and Laura led a majority alliance of second Paniman tribe members that began pagonging the second Tinago tribe members, but without Laura knowing, Gilles and Nicolas also had a Final Four deal with Frédéric and Quentin Paygnard and the latter two voted in the minority with full knowledge of this long-term plan. At the Final Nine, after Gilles decided to share his reward with Nicolas after he won the corresponding individual Reward Challenge, the women of the tribe began realizing that Gilles had made a lot of endgame deals with people. Thus, an alliance between the four women and Esteban Garcia-Mora emerged and, after Gilles failed to win the third individual Immunity Challenge, they blindsided him at the corresponding Tribal Council.
Though Laura was now part of a solid Final Five alliance, things shook up again at the Final Eight as the Tied Destinies twist took place which, due to the equal number of men and women among them, forced each of the women to be paired with a man. The pairings were Tania and Frédéric, Julie Debever and Nicolas, Esteban and Clémence, and Quentin and Laura, with Tania and Frédéric winning the corresponding individual Immunity Challenge. In terms of planning for Tribal Council, the minority alliance of Frédéric, Quentin, and Nicolas evidently felt that their best move would be to target the pair of Esteban and Clémence and, out of self-preservation, their partners got on board with that save for Laura, who was willing to sacrifice Julie in order to keep Clémence around. At Tribal Council, Quentin joined Esteban, Clémence, and Laura in voting against Nicolas in order to feign loyalty to his partner, but Julie had an Extra Vote and Nicolas had a Black Vote which they used to help vote out Esteban, causing Clémence's exit as well due to the Tied Destinies twist. With Laura losing out here, the rest of the tribe was aware that she had voted against Nicolas and, in a way, Julie, and this coupled with her status as an endgame threat both socially and in challenges caused Laura to be voted out near-unanimously a couple of cycles later.
