Maddy Kearns

== Summary ==
Maddy Kearns was a contestant on Brains vs. Brawn. She is the first two-time winner and a golden icon in the New Beginnings era. 
== Gameplay ==
=== Brains vs. Brawn ===
Maddy started off on the Brains Tribe. Luckily for her, she did not have to attend any tribal councils. She was eventually swapped onto Venus with Manny and Maheen, two allies she's familiar with. They win immunity and together they form a three-way alliance. Going into the merge, Maheen is deceived and doesn't play his idol. Maddy and her allies voted for Melia, but there were enough votes to send Maheen home. Colin won individual immunity and Maddy was the next target of the majority. Thankfully, she had her hidden immunity idol that's he found on the first day. She played it, nullifying four votes against her. Gavin was sent home instead. The next day, however, Maddy lost immunity, and she became the eighth person voted out and second member of the jury. She voted for Colin to win.
=== Fans vs. Favorites ===
==== Early Game ====
Maddy returned next season on the Favorites Tribe. She found the idol the first day, but her tribe consistently lost. The first tribal, Maheen was voted out 4-3, and she was left with Kate as her only ally. In a series of winning tribe twists, Maddy was gifted an idol only good for two tribals. She avoided elimination as Chelsea got medically evacuated the following day. On Day 4, Kate was gifted individual immunity, and Maddy played her idol on herself. This nullified Jessica and Regan's votes. Kate suggested to vote for Kat, and so Kat was sent to Redemption Island.
==== Post-Swap ====
Maddy swapped onto Vanuatu, and quickly made alliances with Jeremy and Lizbeth. Maddy talked to her allies and agreed to take Greed just to send Regan home. They plan was successful and Regan left. Megan then joined their tribe, and they won straight to the merge.
At the merge, relationships were weak, but Maddy maintained a strong one between herself, Jeremy, Kate, and Lizbeth. Together, they were able to blindside James. Maddy also found the Fiji idol as she was the only one searching for it. Jessica, their target, won immunity alongside Lizbeth, so they settled on sending Kat home instead as she returned from redemption. Moving on, Maddy flushed an idol while Jeremy played his effectively, nullifying the votes cast his way and finally sending Jessica to the Ponderosa. Lizbeth lost the following challenge, so Maddy gave her Legacy Advantage to Jeremy and took out Lizbeth while she could. She followed this up by orchestrating the eliminations of Megan and Kate. After winning the final immunity challenge, she took Jeremy with her as opposed to Delaney, because she believes Jeremy is someone she can beat. As it turns out, her claim was right, and she won Fans vs. Favorites by a jury vote of 5-2.
=== All Stars ===
==== Evil Empress ====
Their tribe dominated through challenges. When they lost, Maddy was behind the eliminations of both Simon and Emilee. She won an idol with a fast-approaching expiration date in a Kahoot. She also knew about Colin's hidden immunity idol. So, when they forfeited to the Heroes, Maddy's plan was to get Colin to flush his idol and take out the biggest threat standing in her way. Colin flushed his idol, and Maddy nullified five if the six votes cast. Knowing that she was a mastermind last season, Maddy voted Shannon out. She reached the merge and was in the minority with Lizbeth and Maheen. She won the Gamble Ticket in the auction which she exchanged for a Super Idol. From here, she played it on Lizbeth, their target, and took out Colin instead. This move made Megan and Kat flip to Maddy's side and then they blindsided Jessica. Regan was caught off-guard and searched for refuge in Maddy. Megan then hatched her own idea to blindside Maddy, but Regan pointed out the contradictions to Maddy and Megan was sent home instead. Everything was going flawlessly for her, until her closest ally, Lizbeth got send home out of nowhere and Maddy realized she was all alone.
==== Rickus Night ====
To create a show, Maddy created the Rickus Night. This night exposed Regan and Maheen for their deception and contradictions. Maddy knew her only chance of winning was securing the final immunity, and she did. Kat was voted out and Maddy was crowned the winner of All Stars by a 5-1-1 vote.
