Madisonabrownie

**madisonabrownie**, also known as **Madison**, is a contestant on *Survivor: Black Hills*.

She was criticized and targeted early on for inactivity, but after a sudden resurgence late into the first episode, Madison was quickly inducted into the majority on Vo'Kome, and she held this position of power all the way to the merge. She was the consensus target as soon as the merge happened, but a clutch immunity spared her from elimination. She seemed to be let off the hook by this point, but a successful idol play on Jon sent Madison packing with just two votes in the urn against her.

## Survivor: Black Hills

Madison got into some early trouble when she wasn't too responsive at the start of the game. However, following Vo'Kome's loss in the first immunity challenge, Madison became more active and created good first impressions with her tribe. She was inducted into the eventual Vo'Kome majority, but not before her name was thrown out as a target. However, she only received one vote, which was unintentional at that, and Sulpur left the game instead.

On Day 8, Madison was a part of a split vote plan organized to get Life and his idol out of the game. She was a part of the group voting for Captain, but instead of switching her vote to Life, Madison failed to vote by the revote deadline and incurred an unorthodox self-vote despite not being in the initial tie. Aside from that self-vote, Madison was able to get through the first half of the game very smoothly after the early hiccup, and she developed close bonds with Jude and Jessie throughout the post-swap in order to seamlessly navigate to the merge.

Madison's inactivity caught back up to her by the time the merge came around. She became a target as soon as the merge came around, but due to her connections to original Vo'Kome, this was easier said than done. However, she won individual immunity on Day 25, which secured her spot in the game for a few more days. This annoyed some people, but the target fell onto Jae with very little difficulty. Following Jae's exit, Alex won a reward that allowed him to pick teams for the Final 9 immunity challenge. He, Madison, and Zephyr were on a team together, but the team performed worst and Madison was now vulnerable. Vincent and Jon targeted Madison, but Madison's connections were growing stronger now that she was aligned with other players such as Pat and Alex. A coalition formed in an attempt to blindside Jon, and the tribal council grew more and more chaotic and unpredictable. Just as the blindside for Jon was set to work, Vincent played an immunity idol on him, negating five votes - including Madison's. A second idol was played by Alex on himself, and only three votes in the urn remained that were not negated. Two of those votes were against Madison, which sent her to the jury as the first person ever idoled out of TravelORGs.

At the Final Tribal Council, Madison asked each finalist whether they felt they played as a hero or a villain. Jude felt as if he was a villain with some heroic moments, Jessie felt as if she were purely heroic, and Zephyr felt as if they were a heroic character but a villainous player. Ultimately, Madison voted for Jude to win due to their allegiance to one another throughout the season, but Jude lost to Zephyr in a 4-3-0 jury vote.

### Voting History

**^2** Also in "This Is Not Healthy For Me At All", due to missing the revote period, Madison's vote was counted against herself, despite her not being a part of the initial tie.
**^3** In "Doesn't Mean A Bitch Ain't Playin!", Vincent played an idol on Jon, negating Madison's vote against him.
