It IS totally weird that Ben would just randomly get caught while walking around the woods. If Rousseau is one of the Others, I don't think she willingly went over to their side. Otherwise 1.) she and Alexandra, her daughter, wouldn't have been separated for 16 years and 2.) Rousseau wouldn't have lived way out in the boonies on the island this whole time. She would have had all the amenities of suburbia living with the Others--even a Stephen King book club! 3.) If she was an Other, why would she need to set all thse boobytraps before the Losties arrived? (Are there still Hostiles left? I don't think so.) No, I think Ben used Alexandra to blackmail Rousseau the same way that he used Juliette's sister (and her cancer) and niece to blackmail Juliette.

We all know that Ben is Alex's 'dad' maybe he really is her dad, maybe Danielle is a big fat liar about everything.
