Russell Hantz’s Top 100 Greatest Survivors Ever

54. Aubry Bracco (Kaoh Rong, Game Changers, Edge of Extinction)

Most of the time, players get better every time they play, but Aubry Bracco was the opposite. She played a dominant game on Kaoh Rong and unfortunate circumstances led to her not being able to have her ideal final three.

She was basically a medical evacuation away (Joe) from winning Kaoh Rong, but Michele Fitzgerald didn’t make enemies and therefore won it fair and square. People were thrilled to see her return for Game Changers, but honestly, Aubry was kind of just there that season, despite finishing fifth.

Edge of Extinction was a rough outing for Aubry, as she was blindsided at her very first tribal council, but none of the players that season were going to let her make it far, and that was evident. I’d like to see Aubry play for a fourth time, but we need a break from her because she played three times in the span of six seasons.

53. Danni Boatwright (Guatemala, Winners at War)

Danni Boatwright played one of the most underrated winners games in Survivor history and it’s time she gets her respect! Danni was in the minority alliance at the merge in Guatemala and could only watch as the rest of her alliance got picked off one by one.

When it was only Danni left, she was able to avoid getting booted by forming strong bonds with those remaining, Rafe and Stephenie in particular, and just laying low. She went up against Stephenie LaGrossa in the final tribal council and absolutely smoked her, winning it 6-1.

Danni was disrespected with her edit (or lack thereof) on Winners at War, but that shouldn’t take away from her terrific win in Guatemala.
