I really liked Laura last time.

I'm pulling for her.
She's my favorite too. Almost every week of season 3 seemed like a case of "how do we screw Laura and/or Roy out the win". It was weird because I think Face-off is usually the best run of the contest reality shows. The judging criteria is usually pretty clear and reasonable and the cream usually rises to the top.

Letting Nicole back in was also really unfair. I read an interview with Connor from season 1 in which he said they shoot two episodes a week. You do two weeks worth of work in three days, get a day off, and then back to the grindstone for another three days. By the later weeks of each season, the contestants must be exhausted. So letting somebody rest for a couple of weeks and come into a season is kind of like letting somebody rejoin a marathon race at mile 20 after an hour rest.
