SURVIVOR Contestant You Are Most Like: Aubry Bracco

Reason for Being on SURVIVOR: Primary: I love Survivor, and I don’t want Game Changers to be the end of my story. 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 You Think You’ll “Survive” SURVIVOR: Because I never quit.

Does everyone who has been on Survivor move to LA?  Ok I know its not totally true. 

She annoyed me her first season, can't remember the second but I feel no love only irritation when I think of her.  

[Bryce Lynch]

I watched both of her seasons and barely remember her.  

[LadyChatts]

I loved Aubry her first season (partly because Debbie, Jason, and Scot hated her), and I still say she should have won over Michele.  In GC she was kind of a letdown and was way more in the background, getting a quiet edit.  That said, I never expected her to be the type to play 3 times.   I am excited to see her back, though I don't know what her chances are.  Since she doesn't really come off as threatening and isn't a big challenge beast that might work for her to get far.

Astrology? Yuk.

[himela]

Aubry was OK for the season she was in. Now she is just old news.

[marys1000]

Oh Aubry
"so how do you feel about returning players?"  Just in case anyone was trying to forget that they were returnees and treat them as just players
"I think you are really a great strategist and a good player.  I like you a lot.  I would love to work with you" to every single tribe mate.  

Points for trying to change up her game?  Minus points for it sucking.   I wonder if Joe being so likeable is getting to her, like out of the 2 returnees which will they go for first?  Her obviously, challenges, camp work.  I think she is really feeling the pressure

Given the edit we saw of her trying to schmooze all the other players with the same lines, I wonder if she asked them their signs and then said, "Pisces?  Me too!" 'You're an Ares?  No way!  So am I!...."  

[Bryce Lynch]

I think Aubry is using the Andy Bernard strategy.

[NutMeg]

Returning players... either that haven't changed (hey, Joe!), or they feel forced to change their game (hi, Aubrey!), and in both cases we most likely are critical.

and, on the critical part, Aubrey, what were you thinking? that fake smooching will reek of dishonesty when they all start comparing notes, and they are already sharing that you shared with them. 😕

[Hanahope]

Ok, the montage of "I like our dialogue" was pretty funny.

[phlebas]

I still love her.  I wasn't expecting her to come back, but I'd take her every season over another season with Joe Angl--..... aw crap

[LadyChatts]

I love Aubry.  I'd still take her as winner over Michele any day. 

Aubry is kind of an interesting contestant-she went from being a nervous crier in her first season, to being invisible most of her second season, and now she kind of seems like she's debating with herself how to approach the game while trying to make friends.

Watching Aubry back, boy did she play her third time, sans Edge of Extinction, wrong. She keeps saying "you know how I play, you've seen me play" -- reminding Victoria she was a returning player on a season where she knew they were targeting returning players. In retrospect, she should've been like "hey, my game's not set in stone, I can switch it up." It might not have helped, but constantly reminding people she was a returning player probably wasn't the best idea.
