Lauren Weiler is a longtime Survivor aficionado, and has even gone so far as to plan her own audition tape for the show. When she’s not writing about the latest news from the Jeff Probst universe, she covers other reality TV including Counting On and MTV’s The Challenge. Lauren is fascinated by people’s interpersonal lives, and reality TV enables her — and her readers — to follow the story arcs of real people. She joined Endgame360 in 2016 and has been covering entertainment on Showbiz Cheat Sheet since 2018.

When she’s not checking in on the Duggar dynasty on Instagram, Lauren spends her time working on her first novel. She’s written multiple chapbooks of poetry and prose and has had her work published in a number of literary magazines, including Willard & Maple, from which she won their poetry award in 2013. She’s also been an opening poet for Buddy Wakefield and Clementine Von Radics. She participates annually in the Young Writers’ Conference and studied Professional Writing at Champlain College.
