Survivor 50 is officially done and dusted, and the biggest season in the show's history has a winner.
Aubry Bracco is the winner of Survivor 50 and $2 million grand prize, and the finale played out pretty much exactly like we thought it would.
Aubry picked the perfect time to win her first immunity challenge of the season. After Tiffany Ervin was bounced at the Final 5, Aubry had to win immunty stay alive, and she did! She made the the Final Tribal Council, and at that point, the season was hers to lose.
Aubry crushed it at Final Tribal Council. Jonathan Young made a big push, but Aubry had the best story and played the best game. Aubry beat Jonathan and Joe on a 8-3-0 vote.
Heading into the finale, Aubry was my pick to win, just looking at who was on the jury. If she made it to Final Tribal Council, she was going to win the season. She had five votes, at least, locked up heading into the finale from the nine-person jury.
When Tiffany Ervin was voted out at the Final 5 and didn't make Final 4, the door swung wide open for Aubry to take this season. Looking back, we have to question whether or not Joe, Jonathan, and Rizo made a huge mistake in not taking out Aubry with five players left.
Aubry is such an interesting winner because she has been the rumored winner since before the season started. For a long time, things didn't look like they were going to go Aubry's way! She was on the bottom for so long. Eventually, she turned things around, but she was never on solid ground. Her back was against the wall the whole season, basically, and she always found a way to move the vote off her.
CBS also basically spoiled Aubry's win during the red carpet when they had Michele Fitzgerald, the person who beat Aubry in a very controversial season back on Survivor: Kaoh Rong, pose with Aubry on the red carpet. It was just those two, as well. Why bring Michele back for Aubry to finish runner-up? It was such an odd move.
Overall, I have to say that I'm quite satisfied with the winner of Survivor 50. Was Aubry the biggest threat this season? No, but it feels like a very new era season when the person did all the things to just survive.
Noah fence to the rest of this cast, but there are many other players I would have been mad-ish about winning, and Aubry is definitely not one of them. Based on what she's meant to Survivor over the last decade-plus, Aubry is the perfect winner for such an iconic season.
