Lauren vaults into the Final Four as perhaps the most well-rounded contestant.  Her haiku, action photo, and pop quiz answers were all top notch.  But it was probably her diorama that really cemented her position - her depiction of a San Diego kegstand (complete with the VV crew looking on) was a stroke of crafty genius.  Here's the recap:
