Hudson Brothers

**Days Lasted:** | 39

**Hudson Brothers** is the Sole Survivor of *Simvivor: Felicity Island*.

## Profile

Hudson comes from the picturesque suburban landscape of Willow Creek. A firefighter by trade, Hudson is often hailed as a hero within his town for his constant service to those in need. Hudson is an avid outdoorsman – fishing, hiking, and mountain-climbing in his free time, it’s no surprise that Hudson is considered to be a man’s man. Although he is single, Hudson promises to not start up any flirtatious relationships while competing on *Simvivor*, hoping to find a woman of his dreams back home. Hudson’s family is deeply involved in their church, so Hudson credits his faith for all of his successes in life – and eventually in *Simvivor*. But a dark secret that the Brothers family has been hiding is that they’re all Aliens in disguise!

## Simvivor

Starting out on the Rainui tribe in *Felicity Island*, Hudson did not initially come clean about his secret about being an Alien in disguise until the third episode of the season. Although one of the stronger members of the tribe, Hudson was unable to prevent his team from attending multiple Tribal Councils in the pre-merge portion of the game, but he was still frequently in the loop, thanks to an alliance with Dominic Ruiz and Otto Fox. Hudson initially did not seem too strategically inclined in the game, missing out on opportunities to take fate into his own hands, but his steadfast loyalty earned him more brownie points in the long run.

Holding onto a heroic impression put onto him by the devious Dominic, Hudson's betrayals of multiple members was misplaced onto him by each new member of the jury, but his strengths in the physical and mental aspects were highlighted at this point when he won two clutch Individual Immunity Challenges. Although losing yet another ally when Finley Fincher chose to quit the game, Hudson still held a fragment of power as he made his way into the finals. Beating Otto in a quiz tiebreaker and ultimately securing victory in the Final Immunity Challenge, Hudson seemed on top of the world, but struggled with a controversial decision to singlehandedly eliminate his ally from Tuzu, Daniel Mbaju.

Going into the Final Tribal Council, Hudson had been admonished for hiding behind heroism but he slowly made amends with jurors and navigated his question-and-answer portion with precision. Taking ownership for certain moves but allowing blame to be passed onto his opponent Dominic, Hudson then revealed publicly to the jury that he was living with the secret of being an Alien, a move that came with a big risk and wealthy reward. Hudson sealed the win in a tight 4-3 jury decision, becoming *Simvivor'*s first-ever Sole Survivor.

### Voting History
