Aubry Bracco

Aubry Bracco is a contestant from and.

Starting off as a vulnerable member of the Brains tribe, Aubry managed to emerge from her shell to become a major strategic player in Kaôh Rōng, despite losing her two closest allies to medical evacuations. Once the tribes merged, she worked with close ally Cydney to found the dominating alliance of the season. She eventually pulled in and formed a close relationship with Tai, convincing him to flip on his allies, which helped to give her a spot in the Final Tribal Council. However, her social game proved to be lacking to her competitor's, and cost her the victory in the end.

Returning for Game Changers, despite a looming target over both herself and the rest of her former Kaôh Rōng castmates, Aubry managed to once again travel deep into the game, although often times losing her closest allies along the way. After playing a more quiet game, which included her first Individual Immunity Challenge victory, she was voted out for the first time in 5th place.

Kaôh Rōng
Aubry began her Survivor journey on the Brains tribe as a fan of the game. Due to the intense Cambodian heat, she was struck by a panic attack from the elements, and contemplated quitting. However, her tribe encouraged her to stay. She did not attend Tribal Council until Day 9, after Chan Loh narrowly lost the third Immunity Challenge.

Then, she found that her former allies, Liz and Peter, had been plotting against her and Neal. Debbie took advantage of the situation and leaked the information to Aubry. Aubry and Neal decided to join up with Debbie and Joe in executing a split vote plan to blindside either of the deceitful duo. At Tribal Council, Aubry made the right decision to join with her new allies. Even though Liz and Peter had cast their votes against her, Debbie, Joe, and Neal saved her by blindsiding Liz to leave Peter on the bottom of the tribe. Chan Loh won the next Immunity Challenge, and abstained from Tribal Council.

On Day 12, the tribes switched. Aubry was separated from her allies, and was placed on the new Gondol tribe with Joe and enemy Peter. The three Brains decided to put their past conflict aside in order to blindside Anna at Gondol's first Tribal Council so as to prevent the Beauties from gaining a numbers' advantage. Gondol won the next Reward Challenge, but lost the Immunity Challenge due to Peter's poor stacking strategy.

The Gondol Alliance approached Aubry for her vote by throwing Peter under the bus. Aubry contemplated flipping, but her ally Joe was adamant about sticking to tribal lines despite having been targeted by Peter. Aubry was the swing vote between Julia and Peter. At Tribal Council, she initially wrote Julia's name down, but infamously struck it out, ultimately changing her vote to Peter. This not only created tension between her and Joe, but also between her and the Gondol Alliance, which she had just helped. Scot found her to be overly fickle, and vowed to get either of the surviving Brains out at Gondol's next possible opportunity. Fortunately for Aubry, the tribes merged the very next day. She was reunited with allies Neal and Debbie.

However, Debbie utilized strong-arm tactics in order to get the Beauties to vote with the Brains, and this alienated the entire group of Brains. The Beauties decided to gang up with the Brawns, and set their eyes on Aubry and Neal. Aubry failed to win immunity, and prepared for the worst. However, Neal was evacuated due to an infection. Despite being saved for the cycle, Aubry was devastated that her main ally in the game had been taken away from her.

The Brains trio seemed to be facing insurmountable odds. To make matters worse, Aubry's team lost the following Reward Challenge, which served to cripple her morale even more. She recouped, however, and was thankful for the miracle which came when Cydney grew paranoid of her own alliance. Cydney decided to form a women's alliance, and the Brains were given a second chance. At Dara's first Tribal Council, Nick was shocked by his blindside. The turn of events opened a rift between the women and the men of the tribe. Aubry was shocked when Julia showed openness to the prospect of flipping to the less likable group of men, who had burned their bridges with their antics. Aubry led a charge against her, but her plan was thwarted by Julia's immunity win. She saw that Debbie was feeding information to the double agent, and shifted the target to her, resulting in yet another blindside.

Aubry formed a close relationship with Tai, and was able to convince him to abandon his alliance by withholding his Hidden Immunity Idol, blindsiding Jason and Scot when the latter looked to Tai for protection. This allowed Aubry's alliance to take Julia and Jason out in the next two Tribal Councils.

At the final five, Aubry ostracized Michele when she picked long-time ally Cydney for the reward - a trip to a spa - which Joe had won. While the three enjoyed their reward, Joe gorged excessively on the meats. This came back to haunt him when he was ailed by an issue with his urinary tract. Aubry faced déjà vu when Joe was pulled from the game, losing yet another close ally to an untimely evacuation.

Aubry won the final four Reward Challenge, and opted to take Cydney. Michele and Tai plotted against them while they enjoyed their meal. Aubry and Cydney decided to dispose of Michele - a major jury threat - with Tai's help. However, when Michele won immunity, they had to turn on each other. Aubry secured Tai's support, and he was able to force a tie. Aubry and Cydney competed in a fire-making tiebreaker, and emotionally eliminated Cydney. However, she was glad to find herself in the Final Three.

Michele won the final Reward Challenge, which gave her the right to deny a juror of his voting rights. Aubry campaigned for Scot's ouster in order to keep her two guaranteed votes - Neal and Joe - on the jury box. Ultimately, Michele decided to remove Neal, who she found to be an eloquent and avid supporter of Aubry.

Aubry entered Final Tribal Council as a major strategist of the season. However, the jurors deemed Aubry's social connections with them to be severely lacking in comparison to Michele's. Aubry earned Joe and Nick's jury votes, but lost to Michele in a 5-2-0 final vote.

Game Changers
Aubry started on Mana. Mana lost the first Immunity Challenge. At Tribal Council, she joined the majority in voting out Ciera Eastin for her scheming. The next day, Tony Vlachos and Aubry talk about working together and recruiting Sandra Diaz-Twine, Caleb Reynolds, and Malcolm Freberg. However, Tony's paranoia causes Sandra to target him. Mana loses immunity again. At Tribal Council, Aubry joins the majority in voting Tony out, but she did receive votes from Tony and Sandra.

The next day, a Tribe Switch occurred. Aubry along with Sandra, Malcolm, Jeff Varner, and Michaela Bradshaw were switched to Nuku. They were joined by original Nuku JT Thomas. Aubry faced a heavy blow on Night 11 when Malcolm was blindsided. She then sided with JT. Both of them voted for Michaela next but Michaela, Sandra, and Jeff blindsided JT, thus leaving Aubry on the outs. However, she was spared the next day when another tribe switch occurred. Both she and Michaela were switched back to Mana, but neither had to worry as Mana won the next two immunity challenges.

On Day 19, Aubry made the merge. She along with Michaela, Troyzan Robertson, and Hali Ford were the only original Mana's to make it to the merge. She then became a member of the Tavua Alliance. She joined the majority in eliminating Hali at the merged Tribal Council. She voted against Zeke Smith at the next Tribal Council, but Ozzy Lusth was blindsided.

On Day 26, Debbie Wanner instructed Aubry to vote against Michaela, and told Aubry that Sarah Lacina didn't trust her in order to gain Aubry's trust. However, Aubry told the others. This played a pivotal role in Sarah flipping back to Aubry's alliance and blindsiding Debbie. Aubry won her first immunity challenge on Day 33. At Tribal Council, she and Andrea Boehlke voted against Brad Culpepper whom they believed was the intended target, but Andrea was blindsided. She targeted Tai Trang next, but Michaela was blindsided.

On Night 36, Tai played a Hidden Immunity Idol on himself and another on on Aubry. This then caused Sarah to play her Legacy Advantage and Troyzan to lay his idol. This made everyone except for Cirie Fields immune from the vote. This meant that Cirie was eliminated by default. Brad won immunity on Day 37. At camp, Aubry was targeted by Brad and Toyzan. She tired persuading Sarah and Tai to vote out Troyzan. However, Sarah and Tai ultimately did not accept her offer so Aubry was unanimously voted out at Tribal Council. She placed 5th and was the 9th member of the jury.

At the Final Tribal Council, Aubry, along with Ozzy and Cirie, question Troyzan lack of leadership and decision making. She contributed to Sarah's 7-3-0 victory by voting for her to win.
