CBS may have spoiled the Survivor 50 winner with finale red carpet photo

It looks like we might know who wins Survivor 50 a few hours early.

Survivor 50: In the Hands of the Fans finale and live reunion are officially underway, but CBS might have accidentally spoiled the winner of Survivor 50 with a red carpet photo.

Obviously, there are POTENTIAL spoilers below, so only proceed if you're up for a theory on the Survivor 50 winner.

We know Aubry Bracco, Rizo Velovic, Tiffany Ervin, Joe Hunter, or Jonathan Young will be walking away with the $2 million prize, but a suspicious photo has me thinking we already know who the Survivor 50 winner is based on this photo.

It seems like Aubry Bracco is going to win Survivor 50 based on new red carpet photo

On the red carpet, Aubry posed with Survivor: Kaoh Rong winner Michele Fitzgerald. As you recall, Aubry finished runner-up on that season, and it was very controversial, perhaps the most controversial win in Survivor history.

So much has been made about pitting Michele and Aubry against each other. At times, it's felt contentious. Aubry recently admitted she still thinks about finishing runner-up to Michele, while Michele has had to defend her win in public and private. She finished runner-up on Survivor: Winners at War, and a lot of that season was about Michele trying to prove that she could win again.

Now, I'm asking myself, why are they posing together on the red carpet? We know other Survivor winners are there. Why aren't they posing with Aubry?

I have a feeling that Aubry wins Survivor 50 and potentially gets the opportunity to bury the hatchet and put the past behind her once and for all. It seems like there's too much smoke here for there to be no fire.

None of the other finalists are posing with the player they lost to on their season, not in the photos released. That seems interesting to me.

This is a developing story. More to come.
