Aubry Bracco/Edge of Extinction

Aubry Bracco is a contestant from .
Aubry's third outing in Edge of Extinction was short-lived as her past performances made her a target from the start. Despite finding an idol on the original Kama tribe and being given an Extra Vote following the tribe switch, she was ultimately blindsided shortly after the switch when she chose not to play her idol or Extra Vote. She had two opportunities to return to the game by winning the re-entry duel, but failed both times and finished the game in 16th place.

What's your reason for being on Survivor? Primary: I love Survivor, and I don't want Game Changers to be the end of my story. Season 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.

==Survivor==
Aubry was one of four returning players to compete in Survivor: Edge of Extinction. Aubry and fellow veteran Joe Anglim started the game on the Kama tribe. There, they were oblivious to the anti-veteran sentiment espoused by the first-time players; in particular, Eric Hafemann and Gavin Whitson wanted to target the returning players and decided to target Aubry so they could use Joe as a shield. On Day 4, Aubry tried to bond with the new players, but Julia Carter, Ron Clark, and Victoria Baamonde found her attempts disingenuous. The new players minus Aurora McCreary formed an alliance dubbed as the Kama Six against the trio of Aubry, Aurora, and Joe, but Aubry found the tribe's Hidden Immunity Idol and Kama won the first three Immunity Challenges, keeping the three safe.
On Day 9, a tribe switch occurred and Aubry was switched to Manu along with Eric, Gavin, and Victoria, joining original Manu member Wendy Diaz. Although Wendy seemed like an easy target due to being the only original Manu, Aubry described Wendy as an asset since she knew everything about the original Manu members. Manu won their first Immunity Challenge on Day 11, keeping Aubry safe again. On Day 12, Eric, Gavin, and Victoria decided to target Aubry over Wendy for being a bigger strategic threat. Victoria pretended to align with Aubry and Wendy against the men. When Manu lost the Day 13 Immunity Challenge, Aubry found an Extra Vote in her bag that was secretly gifted by Rick Devens from the . Aubry then discussed with Victoria and Wendy about blindsiding one of the men, but Wendy was reluctant to commit to the plan, causing Aubry to target her. Aubry realized she had options since she had an "alliance", an idol and an Extra Vote, but was worried since things seemed to go wrong for her in previous seasons. At Tribal Council, Aubry voted for Wendy, but she was blindsided by the entire tribe with her idol and Extra Vote in her possession. She was then given a chance to come back into the game. Aubry says "that's an easy decision" and took the torch and headed to the Edge of Extinction, adding it was "no brainer".
The next morning on the Edge of Extinction, Aubry said that she got burned last night with the idol and Extra Vote in her possession, stating it was a J.T. style embarrassment. Aubry continued on the Edge of Extinction until the first re-entry challenge on Day 17, Aubry competed along with Reem, Keith, Chris, Rick, and Wendy for a spot back in the game. Aubry lost the challenge to Rick, but then Jeff Probst surprised the losing contestants by offering them to return on the Edge of Extinction. For staying on the Edge of Extinction during the merge phase, Aubry, along with Reem and Chris were given seats on the jury. During this time, Aubry found two advantages, one that allowed her to practice for the second re-entry challenge, and an Extra Vote to assign to another player, which Aubry gave to Aurora. Aubry continued to stay and participate as a jury member until the second re-entry challenge on Day 35.
On Day 35, Aubry competed along with ten other castaways, Reem, Chris, Joe, Eric, Julia, David, Kelley, Wardog, Ron, and Aurora. During the challenge, Aubry struggled with the rope maze, causing her to fall behind and eventually lose the challenge, thus eliminating her and nine others.
At the Final Tribal Council, Aubry stated that she felt like taxidermy during her time in the game due to the way she was treated for being a returning player. She even stated that Gavin was the only one of the Final Three that pretended he wanted to work with her. However, Gavin stated that he really did want to work with Aubry despite plotting against her. Aubry voted for Chris to win the title of Sole Survivor, which he did in a 9-4-0 vote.
