It's complicated. I will give it this though, it's definitely better than SMS. It's a shame really because if you took out the Vegans the episode actually had quite a few redeeming moments. I probably would like the episode if it weren't for the obvious elephant in the room overshadowing everything else. As for whether she deserves it, what happened was the Vegans were left with no choice due to time constraint, and Laurie saw eating the meat as the only option. She did not want to do it and hated herself for doing it, which is why she attacked Don after hearing it was a non-elimination. While she did "voluntarily" choose to eat the meat, which Miles chose to pass on, which is where the hypocrisy is pointed at. The punishment afterwards is really unwarranted. Karma is for antagonists or jerks who wronged others, and she did no such thing (other than attacking Don which was called for). Courtney getting karma after being villianized was bad enough, but theres sort of an in-universe justification since she was a jerk in that episode. I cannot see that with Laurie.

Oh but one thing you might need to be aware of. I cannot verify if this is true, but I heard rumours that Julie Giles may have been a bit taken aback by you. All I'll say is please be careful not to overdo it with the criticism.

I guess knowing the location would help. They didn't have exclusive clips afterwards in those seasons showing they landed safely. At least Blaineley deserved it. Yes the underlying implications is one of the worst aspects, they're saying the contestants are flushed just like the **** they are. Everything else in the season was so fancy and top notch; the Spa Hotel for their "AllStar" status, but they had to make the elimination device so demeaning.

Don does show shades of Chris like his narcissism, but he certainly doesn't have that "cause as much pain for personal pleasure and ratings" that Chris McLame has been so heavily associated with.
