Cara Atchison

Cara Atchison is a contestant from Australian Survivor: Brains v Brawn (2021).

Starting the game on the bottom of the Brains tribe, Cara's selflessness caused her to be voted out early on when she played her Hidden Immunity Idol for her best friend George Mladenov. However, she was granted a lucky break, being sent to the Brawn tribe to which she pledged her loyalty for the rest of the pre-merge. Despite a series of notable game blunders, Cara was able to secure her position alongside George as double agents between the clashing Brains and Brawn Alliances and, eventually, the pair scraped their way to the final four. There, George realized that he needed to keep Hayley Leake to defeat Flick Palmateer in the Final Immunity Challenge and thus reluctantly sacrificed Cara, sending her to the jury.

Real Estate Agency Owner Cara, may be known as the Duchess of Double Bay, but can she bring her reign to the Outback? At the age of 20, the quirky adventure seeker realised that she had a secret power. As an empath, Cara can sense and feel emotions as if they're part of her own experience – someone else's pain and happiness, become her own.^[1]

Voted Out, Day 45
Notes: ^1 Both tribes were sent to Tribal Council. The tribes competed in an individual Reward/Immunity Challenge with two members of each tribe winning the challenge. ^2 The reward was dependent on each castaway's finish in the challenge. ^3 Three Immunity Necklaces were up for grabs. The three immune players would be the only ones who would have the opportunity to vote at Tribal Council. ^4 Cara drew the red rock and had to sit out of the challenge, but if she guessed the winning team correctly, she would win reward as well. Cara guessed correctly.
