I don't think it was staged but I have no respect for Laura. If the business with her boyfriend is to be believed then she was stupid for going in to the house if she was going to forfeit and make her privite business public knowledge. It could be excused for her not being in the right state of mind, and for the psychologists or producers to have overlooked it - but shamelessly cashing in like a boring opportunist is what's made her one of the worst BB housemates. Money grubbing skank.
