Aubry Bracco is a contestant from Survivor: Kaôh Rōng, Survivor: Game Changers, Survivor: Edge of Extinction, and Survivor 50: In the Hands of the Fans.

Aubry started her Survivor career as a meek and neurotic member of the Brains tribe in Kaôh Rōng, but quickly came into her own as a major strategic force who dictated many of the votes in her debut season. After losing to Michele Fitzgerald in her first season, she returned for two more outings, each with a bigger target on her back. Despite never matching the peak levels of strategic control she achieved in Kaôh Rōng in her subsequent seasons, Aubry is considered a standout player amongst modern Survivor contestants, as evidenced by her inclusion in Game Changers and her third outing in Edge of Extinction, where her target caused her to be blindsided at her first Tribal Council.

Profile

Retrieved from CBS.com

Name (Age): Aubry Bracco (29)
Tribe Designation: Brains
Current Residence: Cambridge, Mass.
Occupation: Social Media Marketer
Personal Claim to Fame: My name (it means "leader of the elves") and the way I pursued my education with my own style. I convinced my advisors at Brown University to let me write a children's book about a manatee instead of a 50-page thesis and went on to graduate with honors.
Inspiration in Life: My grandmother, Madeline. She dealt with a crazy Brooklyn Italian family and was a hard worker. She was the first Woman of the Year at the New York Daily News and never let anything get her down (she once went back to work the day after a major car accident). She also had a wacky personality—as kids she told us she didn't eat chicken because "their legs were too close to their butts."
Hobbies: Crayon art, running, meeting locals in new places and astrology.
Pet Peeves: People who are not self-aware, don't know how to listen actively or give fake compliments. Close second: scented things covering bad smells.
3 Words to Describe You: Beguiling, intuitive and relentless.
If You Could Have 3 Things on the Island What Would They Be and Why? 1. Crayons – (preferably a 64-pack with built-in sharpener) to hold an art therapy session to calm everyone down. Plus, they smell good. 2. Camera – to document the adventure. 3. Astrology books – I want to know who I'm dealing with and what motivates people.
Survivor Contestant You Are Most Like: Love child of Sophie and Cochran. Hair of Shambo.
Reason for Being on Survivor: I love Survivor. Since I was 15, I've watched. As complicated as the game is, there's something so simple, authentic and raw. I have deep respect for the timelessness and evolution of the game.
Why You Think You'll "Survive" Survivor: I'm a hard worker who never gives up, and I'd entertain people by pulling a Greg Buis and being a weirdo. People would think I was doing this to be funny and pass time, but I'd actually be extracting key details. After living in Salem, MA during several Halloweens, I've learned to embrace my quirkiness and work with outlandish personalities.

Why You Think You Will Be the Sole Survivor: I'm an expert listener and a journalist at heart so I'm inherently observant and social. I look for the most genuine and self-aware person in the room so I can connect with them, and I'm on the prowl for the most fake person in the room so I know what I'm dealing with. I want to prove to myself that I have what it takes to manage personalities under pressure with $1,000,000 on the line.[1]

Age: 30
Hometown: Cambridge, MA
Previously played on: Season 32: Brains vs. Brawn vs. Beauty, Runner Up
How have you changed since the last time you played? I'm more assertive, confident, and grounded in who I am. In my last season, I logically knew I could play and do well. This time, I believe it. I have an easier time taking stock of the cards on the table, making decisions, and rolling with the consequences.
What skills do you bring to Survivor that will make you a useful member of the group and what skills have you been learning since you last played? I bring the confidence in my physical abilities. In Kaôh Rōng, I proved I was a brain who could hang with brawn. I might not look athletic, but I am. I've been working on core strength and balance. Emotionally, I'm more grounded than I was. I can be an attractive ally or confidant to other tribe mates, especially those on the outskirts, without letting those relationships drain me.
What are you most proud of from the last time? I am beyond proud that I made it to Day 39 despite encountering some obstacles, including:
- Having a horrendous Day 2.
- Crappily executing the Pete vote. This time, I'll be folding the paper up, eating it for fiber, and taking a new parchment if I change my mind.
- My infection.
- Two closest allies being medically evacuated.
- Being forced to make fire to save myself.
I managed some tough personalities and assembled a ragtag group to vote out Scot, which felt like dismantling a bomb, making sure all the wires were where they needed to be. Overall, I may have bumped into more obstacles than a ball in a pinball machine, but I played proactively. I owned my actions and fate, and I did it in a way that was true to me.
What, if anything, do you most regret? I wish I could take back every second of every one of the five days I lived with Nick. Oh, and I regret letting Joe eat all the red meat.
How would you play differently this time? Going into Game Changers, I know I'll have a target on my back, especially since other players will have just seen my season. I can't play under the radar… people won't buy it. I plan to align with a variety of people, including power players and villains to pad myself. In Survivor 34, I will:
1. Do with certainty and apologize later.
2. Be friendly with more people and have intense relationships with less.

3. Execute with finesse.[2]

Age: 32
Hometown: Hampton Falls, New Hampshire
Current residence: Los Angeles
Occupation: Marketing Director
Previous season: Kaôh Rōng, Game Changers
Hobbies: Gardening (I live in an indoor jungle), crayon art (melting them on canvas), and astrology (Scorpio Sun, Sagittarius Moon, and Gemini Rising over here).
Pet peeves: Revisionist history.
Three words to describe you: Intuitive, scrappy, and persistent.
What's your personal claim to fame? Neutralizing Kaôh Rōng's Super Idol.
Who or what is your inspiration in life? My grandmother, Madeline. She dealt with a crazy Brooklyn Italian family and was a hard worker. She was the first Woman of the Year at the New York Daily News and never let anything get her down (she once went back to work the day after a major car accident.) She also had a wacky personality—as kids she told us she didn't eat chicken "because their legs are too close to their butts."
If you could have three things on the island, what would they be and why?
Astrology Book: best conversation starter ever and personality investigation ever.
Headphones: 'cause it gets really annoying listening to the castaways whine about being hungry.
Not a thing, but the presence of a very dear person: Tai Trang. Finder of all things edible, Survivor soulmate and Idol king.
Which Survivor contestant are you the most like? Aubry Bracco.
What's your reason for being on Survivor? Primary: I love Survivor, and I don't want Game Changers to be the end of my story. Season 34 was rough from the moment Queen Sandra said, "thank you, next" to my olive branch offer. Above all, I'm addicted to challenging myself, evolving, and saying "yes" to the experience. Everything in life, good or bad, can be a gift. It's just a matter of perception.

Why do you think you'll "survive" Survivor? Because I never quit.[3]
