Ace

**Ace** (acelia#5281) placed 13th in Season 4.

A bit of a controversial player, Ace played the game hard from the very start on Apolo. Very straightforward and dramatic, Ace’s visible gunning for control of the Apolo Tribe had others wary of him. To nullify this with Dangan in particular, he lied that his sister had died at birth and that he needed a sibling figure in the game. This was particularly effective with Dangan, though mostly in part because Dangan saw Ace’s ego driven game as easy to puppeteer. At their first Tribal Council, Ace instantly threw out Jay’s name and formed an “everyone but Jay” alliance, claiming it was the easy vote. When others agreed, Ace’s ego hit the roof as he confessionaled how mindless the other players were to listen to anything he said. At their next Tribal Council, Ace’s ego was once again on high as he told the others instantly that Dex needed to go, forming a new majority alliance with outsider Suari and Dangan. However, Dangan would end up blindsiding Ace as he felt Dex was better for his game, which proved disastrous for Ace’s game as he antagonized Dex at tribal council for no reason, thinking he was going home. To make matters worse, a swap following this TC put Ace onto nu Moli with Dex himself! Initially the two campaigned hard to get each other out, with Ace spreading a rumor that Dex was “abusive” to Suari. Nobody believed this, and it annoyed his tribe to the point where he became a dead man walking. Dex was able to onside Ace for a vote, though, when he pointed out that they needed to use Mug to vote out an OG Moli as all six would merge otherwise.  In the end, a 3-2 vote would send a surprised Ace home when the two OG Apolo couldn’t flip Mug back to them to undo the damage they did when initially campaigning against each other hard out of the gate.
Xaj

**Xaj** (Xaj#0552) placed 16th in Season 8.

Initially in a dicey spot on the Kisa Tribe, Xaj showed that he had good early game reads despite being in the minority. He formed a good rapport with perceived tribe leader Smokin, and despite them both wanting each other out at some point did seem to find value in each other’s games. Very shortly after the second Tribal Council, Xaj would unexpectedly leave the server and block one of the hosts on Discord with zero warning, essentially quitting the game out of nowhere for unknown reasons.
StarlitGlitch

Starlitglitch (StarlitGlitch#7502) is a Runner-Up of Season 1.

Star started off the game as the most vocal Celeste member, being the only one to lay out her plans and alliances for a few rounds. This went far with the quiet tribe, as it gave her social capital with many who were not making webs of alliances. However, she continued to play passively for the early portion of the game, letting her #1 ally gets voted out to appease her larger alliance. A fire was truly lit under her butt at the merge, though, when it became apparent that the Saharah’s wanted to put little effort into socializing and just pagong the Celestes. As such, she formed the Celeste Alliance and rounded the OG Celeste tribe to be a strong 5 at merge which led to Dylan getting two members to flip & change the course of the game. Star continued to be an aggressive player, helping hold Celeste strong and telling the Saharah’s to their face that it was flip or get votes from all of them. She was also able to successfully play an idol to eliminate Dani, turning the game truly on its head. Despite this brave gameplay, Star admittedly did not fear herself being eliminated nor had a strong desire to win as she only wanted a Celeste to win in general. When she made the FTC, despite being more social overall throughout the season and just as strategic as Ryan, Star saw her chances of winning slip away as her FTC answers conveyed this sentiment. Due to her lack of owning her game moves completely and giving credit to Ryan in her answers, Star found herself tied for runner-up in the 4-2-2 vote.
Emy

**Emy** (emycookie#1214) placed 8th in Season 2.

The working adult in a tribe full of young adults, Emy worked hard on Vula to be the “tribe mom” and appeal to her more chatty tribemates. She was very successful, forming the dominant Eevee Alliance with Anthony & Will to run the OG Vula tribe. Emy was especially annoyed with the rest of her tribe, deeming them immature and wishing to vote them out as soon as she could. This would materialize when after a Tribe Swap, Emy decided to flip with her new allies from Matanisiga to blindside Ceejay and Harry. This move set her up for a successful merge, but a second Tribe Swap saw her relegated back to the Eevee Alliance. This would prove costly to her game, as Anthony’s growing presence and target in the game saw Emy, his closest ally, viewed more as a number than her own player. Ultimately, Emy was blindsided in a 4-2-2 vote when Gabriel deemed her more likely to successfully flip the “outsiders” than Anthony as well as his desire to cripple Anthony’s game for a shield.
Brett

**Brett** (BrainstormerX#7275) placed 15th in Season 7.

Having a bit of a rollercoaster start on Yalo, Brett was initially received well to lukewarm at worst by his tribemates. However, they quickly began to all privately turn on him when he was perceived as “annoying,” most notably when he was perceived as unnecessarily dramatic toward Nikki wanting to sit out a challenge. A majority alliance was formed against him and another social outsider AslanTZ called “Ghostbusters,” attempting to ensure that Brett did not get the idol after he scared the tribe that he could have it by stating he “is sure it's already been found.” Ironically, shortly after saying this Brett himself genuinely DID find the Yalo Idol, being shocked and ecstatic. Also to his luck, the Yalo Tribe was able to win immunity preswap to keep him safe to play on. At the swap, Brett was put onto Nu Bati with a numerical advantage; being with Roci and AslanTZ, they had a 3-2 advantage against the Papukeni two. Despite this, Roci immediately went to work setting up a Brett blindside should they lose, finding herself drawn to Nehemiah’s social game. While AslanTZ was a bit hesitant, the three formed a new cross tribal alliance so that they’d all benefit come the merge, and set their sights on Brett. When Nu Bati lost the Scavenger Hunt, Brett initially felt safe and a sort of swing vote, being told the Yalos and the Papukenis were not even talking to each other aside from him. Minutes before Tribal Council, however, paranoia struck when Brett weighed playing his idol as he could never live down going home with one in his pocket. In the end, he would regret his decision to not play it when a 4-1 blindside sent a wrecked Brett to the prejury, exclaiming to his tribe that he even had an idol in his pocket. He is remembered for his pleading to his OG Yalo tribemates to at least let him make it past specifically the third Tribal Council, which he ironically only did by one placement.
Catlover

**Catlover** (catlover#6289) placed 14th in Season 1 & 14th in Season 5.

Starting on the quiet Celeste tribe, Catlover was notable for making the only known alliance of pre-swap Celeste with Starlitglitch. An active voice in challenge and camp life, Catlover found herself in a great spot with Star on Nu-Saharah with a 4-1 split after the swap. However, when Maze decided that Alec would be a better asset in the future at the merge, Catlover was the first blindside victim in Aurora Survivor history in a 3-2 vote. She is remembered for her heartbreaking final words and virtual tears shed upon leaving the island.

Going into Season 5, Catlover was more receptive to making multiple alliances and potentially being deceptive on the Gata Tribe. However, she still had a big flaw in her game that was noticed by many very quickly: she was rather “dry” in DMs, often not responding at all if not for very short messages. As such, she became a sort of “easy boot” in the eyes of most of the Gata. Catlover created an alliance called “The Mouse Trap” with Harry and Dumb which gave her new life when they were all swapped onto Kisiti together. Harry saw Catlover as an easy vote in their pocket due to her perceived lack of strategy and socializing, and as such this alliance actually began a movement to blindside Ruby at their first Tribal Council. This ultimately was shaping to be successful, but Ruby was fortunately for them ejected from Tribal Council anyway. Sitting in power, Catlover’s game would unravel when a double elimination swap saw her being the only OG Gata on her new tribe, notable with the 3 Icons alliance that was a semi-BFF alliance despite all hating each other. It was between her and Lucas, and initially Anthony was going to set the pieces up for Lucas to go due to his paranoia. Unfortunately, Catlover put zero effort into messaging anyone on her tribe but Dex, which led Anthony to change his mind when Lucas reached back out to their “fake” alliance. In the end, a 3-1 vote blindsided Catlover, who vocalized that she knew that she was a robbed legend. She is the first player in Aurora Survivor history to get the same placement in two seasons.
Ceejay

**Ceejay** (That sexy Masterpiece#8790) placed 13th in Season 2.

A chaotic force from the beginning, Ceejay had a controversial time with his Vula tribemates. They deemed him immature and untrustworthy for how he behaved during challenges and at camp, especially by Emy due to jokingly calling her a “hoe” on night one to her distaste. After a Tribe Swap, Ceejay felt safe with his OG-Vula Alliance of Emy and Harry. However, his continued annoyance & being open about liking chaos drove Emy to spearhead his blindside in a 3-2 vote. He is remembered for his bitter parting words toward Harry despite him voting with Ceejay & his infamous “ Can’t Wait for Tribal Council Guys :)” post while sitting out that led the tribe to vote him out due to annoyance.
Dexter

**Dexter** (ChaosSpiral#2372) placed 18th in Season 3 & 15th in Season 4.

An ORG veteran, Dexter started off strong in confessionals pregame and made clear he was a contender for the crown. However, his downfall came fast whenever his arch nemesis from another ORG (Karma) was randomized onto Qele with him. Despite this early target, Dexter was able to create solid allies in Kazeno and Mink. Dexter assumed the other trio was tight and did not attempt to flip any of them, determined to force a deadlock. This would be the nail in his coffin, as unbeknownst to him Envi was willing to flip and just needed nudging. During the 3-3 tie, Kazeno became too nervous about his position in the tribe and instantly flipped back to the other alliance, sending home a frustrated Dexter before he even had a chance to truly play.

In Season 4, Dexter got lucky being placed onto the Apolo Tribe as the other two tribes had players that knew him from prior orgs. However, history was close to repeating itself when Dexter’s name began to go around in the early days of the tribe as an easy first boot. Luckily, he was able to secure good social bonds with his tribe, especially with Dex & Dangan forming “the 3Ds” alliance. These social bonds saw him carried through the pre-swap portion of the game, setting himself up well in the tribe. Unfortunately, Dexter became incredibly swap-screwed when carlbot put him on nu-Apolo with four OG Jaina- in particular, the four with unwavering loyalty to each other. When they lost the first immunity challenge post-swap, Dexter knew his days were likely limited but still put up a valiant effort. Several of his tribemates, particularly Chloe, were swayed that voting out Plaus with Dexter could be a better move to have an in with OG Apolo at the merge. However, when decision maker Giuli shut down this idea, Dexter was voted out in a very predictable 4-1 vote. He is remembered for his frustration that both of his seasons on Aurora saw him voted out via seemingly pure luck of tribe placement.
Jay

**Jay** (JayC#0020) placed 18th in Season 4.

A bit quiet, Jay started off on the wrong foot on the Apolo Tribe. While pleasant in confessionals, the tribe slowly labeled his social game as lackluster, leading him to be a consensus boot for the tribe despite some wavering opinions on targets. Sure enough, when the Apolo Tribe lost the first Immunity Challenge of the season, a majority alliance of the entire tribe entitled “Everyone But Jay” formed to agree on a straight 5-1 vote. While not knowing he was a target, Jay still did not go out without fighting and attempting to shift targets onto Dexter and most notably Dex. While semi-successful, he was still given the boot to his shock and labeled by his tribemates as “dexist.”
Wren

**Wren** (Xenoblade#4617) placed 14th in Season 3.

Remembered for her early witty confessionals, Wren started the game off strong in the majority of Qele. Things would turn sour for her, however, when she was relegated to the bottom of the tribe after Karma’s blindside and Envi’s flip. Despite being the next to go, Wren was able to survive until a tribe swap and begin anew on nu-Kama. Unfortunately, Wren went quite inactive socially and confessional-wise shortly after the swap. Despite the three OG Cagi initially leaning toward eliminating the OG Kama, Wren’s lack of passion on top of Mink promising to vote with the Cagi at their next Tribal Council regardless saw the tribe pull the trigger. With her new rapport established with her number one ally Julian, Wren was completely blindsided when a 6-1 vote sent her off the island.
Shawn

**Shawn** (Kashawn#6109) placed 18th in Season 2.

Starting on the quiet Kalokalo tribe, Shawn was well liked by his tribemates for his laid back attitude. After losing the first challenge, Kalokalo’s social politics would see him the victim of a 5-1 vote at the first Tribal Council due to having no close bonds despite his positive presence.
KJ

**KJ** (kj\_#8627) placed 13th in Season 7.

A fairly UTR player, KJ integrated himself well into the Yalo Tribe. Being part of the Ghostbusters alliance, the only real threat to KJ was Brett and his idol, as he really wanted KJ for perceiving him as a snake. While potentially on the bottom of the Ghostbusters alliance, KJ did not have to worry about navigating this as the Yalo Tribe would not go to Tribal Council pre swap. After the swap, KJ immediately messaged Brian and Leo of OG Bati and was pulled into an alliance with the two by Brian mere minutes after the swap. Their goal was to take out one of the two OG Papukeni members should they lose, particularly Dylan. However, as time went on fear of the OG Yalo tribe sticking together at the merge began to make KJ’s new tribe fear him, as they felt his loyalty would be to the OG’s over themselves. Additionally, KJ’s quickness to choose a side minutes into the swap backfired, making Brian question KJ’s loyalty even more. Despite being told they were the swing vote to target either Dylan or Brian and feeling extremely confident in their game, the other four had secretly formed a pact together to boot KJ as they sensed an approaching merge. In the end, KJ was blindsided in a 4-1 vote when the others feared Yalo’s might if they did not take the shot.
TannerS8

**Tanner** (tannerhicks98#2357) placed 13th in Season 8.

Starting very strong as a fan favorite on the Taki Tribe, Tanner quickly took control of the social dynamics of the tribe to co-lead with other social threat Katt. The two were a formidable pair, making up for each other's social blindspots, and were further strengthened by their fellow “FTC” member Elise to hold the majority. Tanner’s dedication to the game was impressive, with many fun confessionals and video confessionals detailing his thought process and methodical strategy. At the first Tribal Council of the season, Tanner’s strengths nearly made him a target when Sean almost successfully flipped the minority together by bluffing an idol, a lie which Tanner and the “FTC” took seriously enough to almost split the votes. However, when Naran and Chad both threw this plan under the bus, it solidified their status to the FTC alliance. This would be only the first time that Tanner’s good positioning would actually become a detriment to his game. At the swap, Tanner quickly formed a bond with Cherry faster than any of the OG Kisa members, and attempted to manage Chad and Naran to do the same. This was successful, and Tanner was able to gain even further control of the tribe when Chase bonded with him specifically more than anyone else in the game, willing to flip on his OGs for Tanner. This strong social game did not go unnoticed by Cherry, who secretly wanted either Tanner or Chad out to nerf said power but knowing his best bet was to continue to silently play the middle and plant seeds of doubt with Naran. When Naran randomly decided to poke at Lola and Chase and tell them publicly if they didn’t win they’d go home, Chad and Tanner were furious over this attitude and discussed a potential Naran boot sooner rather than later. While Chad wanted this immediately, Tanner was much more willing to keep Naran onside for at least one more vote due to Lola being inactive. When Cherry caught wind of this, he lightly leaked this to Naran not expecting much to come of it beyond further seed planting. However, this on top of Naran already sensing the vibe that the two OG Taki’s were mad at him via his DMs made him completely snap, confessionaling that he had “something big” planned for their next Tribal Council. When Taki lost largely due to Lola being deadweight in the challenge as well as Naran semi-throwing, it seemed obvious to the rest of the tribe that the votes would be stacked on the inactive player with strikes. However, Naran was ready to put his plan into action, stating he was having a hard time deciding though whether to idol out Chad (petty option) or Tanner (strategic options). In the end, Tanner and his entire tribe (sans Cherry, who was aware this was happening but voted with the majority on purpose) were gooped, gagged, and couldn’t believe it when Naran idoled the inactive Lola, sending a perceived social and jury threat home much earlier than anticipated with a singular vote.
Rodrigo

**Rodrigo** (compa\_rod) placed 9th in Big Brother Season 3.

Being added to many alliances early on, Rodrigo appeared to be a player to watch in the house. He would help to control the Week 1 Celeste vote with Mercury, but would be sad as well to see his close ally Ness evicted from the other side. In Week 2, Rodrigo would campaign hard from the offset to get a big threat eliminated from the house. When Alejandro used the veto to save Brayden, Rodrigo would pounce at the opportunity to gather numbers and convince Tyson to make a move on Nick. While initially unsuccessful, he would win out in this regard when Alex used a Hidden Immunity Idol. Despite his plan succeeding Rodrigo would be blindsided when not enough people he checked in with actually voted to evict Nick, keeping him in the house with full knowledge that Rodrigo had campaigned hard. In Week 3, HOH Aaron would nominate Rodrigo for eviction, making his failure to snipe out a target come full circle. Rodrigo would go on the destroy the veto competition, saving himself from potential eviction as many in the house wanted him out to make a move. In Week 4, Rodrigo would make a new connection with Kishor, creating an alliance with him and Tyson in which he appeared to be the most comfortable. This would pay off, as Kishor chose him to play in the veto and he would win, saving himself from a likely backdoor had Mercury won. He would very vocally want to keep Mercury in the game this week, pushing away his alliance with Alejandro in the process. In Week 5, almost everyone in the house aside from Kishor privately found Rodrigo’s game very bad, often mocking him out of annoyance at his “antics,” such as telling people they needed to vote with him to avoid being in the minority. He would find himself on the wrong side of a vote yet again when his alliance flopped using Kishor’s powers to actually target a threat. Nominated in Week 6 as a convoluted ruse by Kishor, Rodrigo would win his third veto in a row and “save himself” from eviction. Despite his seemingly genuine attempts at playing the game and attempting to maneuver himself well, the entire other side of the house would continue hating him- most notably Alejandro, who he felt he had a good working relationship with on his end. In Week 7, Rodrigo would be ejected from the game as a nominee after being completely inactive for days straight, getting three strikes in that one week alone. This would be quite surprising and disappointing, as he was a rather big character to the season to be reduced to an inactive flop.
Lola

**Lola** (ghostbaby#2269) placed 12th in Season 8.

A very quiet character on the cursed Kisa Tribe, Lola would benefit from making Hao her number one when it brought her into a majority alliance with Smokin. This began a humorous, season-long one-sided feud in which Lola loved Smokin and had only positives to say about him, willing to be his goat essentially, whilst Smokin confessionaled very often how she was a snake that would end his game. Lola proceeded to do nothing of note beyond this in the game, and after the swap completely vanished. She struck out and was DQ’d from the competition after Nu Taki was sent to the final Tribal Council before the merge.
Robert

**Robert** (Robert\_Meowny\_Jr#9816) is the Second Runner Up of Season 9.

Despite starting the game a bit aloof and eccentric, Robert would still be well liked on the Drega Tribe, forming a strong duo with Paris. At the swap, he found himself in a peculiar situation on Nu Drega. Nu Drega went ahead and lost back to back challenges, but Robert was able to survive the pre-merge with the help of Paris and Denim's efforts. At the merge, several players and viewers saw Robert as someone putting in very minimal effort. In addition to giving low effort into the game, Robert's eccentric personality made others feel that he was hard to talk to. This played well for him because he became a fast lock in many eyes as a "Super Goat" for a Final 4, while some other players viewed him as a threat having agency in the game. Robert is remembered for being fairly well natured and his sardonic sense of humor, not taking the game very seriously. Often times, Robert even complained in his confessionals that he did not want to be in the game. At the Final 4 tribal, Robert joked that he did not want to go to Final Tribal Council because he wanted to avoid answering FTC questions. Unfortunately for Robert, things did not go as he had planned. While many others would have loved to be in his position, he seemed increasingly annoyed that he made Final Tribal Council with Dar and Ripple. At the FTC, the Jury was confused at what exactly Robert did in the game. While giving a humorous and on brand presentation, to no one's surprise, Robert failed to convince the Jury that he had any agency in the game, leaving him as a zero vote finalist in a 4-3-0 vote. Robert is commemorated by having one of the most unique social games in Aurora Survivor history, often being intentionally blunt and just playing for fun.
Mug

**Mug** (Mug#2506) placed 13th in Season 1 & 9th in Season 4.

Starting off quietly on Saharah, Mug was known fast for having played a ridiculous amount of ORGs as well as being involved in the BBCAN casting process. She began to integrate well into the Saharah majority, choosing to play lowkey despite her chaotic urges to play a “fun, early boot” game. She notably formed a strong duo with Amber, with the two successfully setting up the pieces for a big power shift in the Saharah majority when the merge hit. However, after the swap Amber became paranoid that Mug was a big player that couldn’t be trusted due to Mug suggesting they vote out a Saharah instead of a Celeste. As a result, Mug was blindsided by her closest ally in a 3-1-1 vote despite voting for Ryan, a Celeste. Mug is remembered for begging Amber to change her vote minutes before Tribal Council after Ryan told her she was going home.

In Season 4, Mug started off fairly inactive on the Jaina Tribe due to (in her words) not being able to take the game seriously because she was on the “banana tribe.” This low activity caused much of the tribe that was excited to work with her from her Season 1 arc to feel as though she was deadweight, and she quickly became a target for the OG Jaina. Luckily for Mug, Azoth was completely inactive for the only tribal council they attended and there was a tribe swap shortly after, putting her in a very good position away from her OG tribemates on Nu Moli. As the swing vote, Mug was aware that all of the Moli players remained but was not convinced to side with the OG Apolo two as she very much disliked Ace due to his early theatrics on the new tribe. This would prove costly, as saving Tayy saw him not agreeing to working with Mug at the merge toward Mug’s own plans, infuriating Mug. Despite starting off well on the Niu Tribe and being part of several people’s long-term plans due to her quasi-goat status, Mug felt no one in the game was truly playing when they almost unanimously wanted to boot Dex, feeling he was an easy vote to use against strong social threats. Mug threw many names out, turning most of the tribe against herself, and a public blowup at Tribal Council with Tayy completely isolated her from the group, though it did spur Jackson into performing a surprise idol play with the two (Dex & Mug) in the minority to send out Tayy. Mug would continue to dig her own grave when she sent a large and mean-spirited roast to who she believed were the minority, and Dangan leaked this to the majority. Giuli then confronted Mug head on at camp, leading to a hilarious argument in which no one quite understood what the argument exactly was. After Jackson’s blindside, Mug apologized and told them she had given up, attempting to gain sympathy votes and survive more rounds as a non-threat. This was not enough, however, as the majority sent her home in a 5-3 vote when their more ideal target Flapjack used his Safety Without Power to leave Tribal Council. She is remembered this season for her displeasure toward the game, feeling that the entire tribe were sheep & thus stirring the pot.
Grey

**Grey** (Greyologist#0999) placed 15th in Season 9.

Having a rocky start on Dausaqalo, Grey would find himself on the bottom but benefited by being on one of the two challenge dominant OG tribes of the season. His dry sense of humor and way of talking did not resonate much with the tribe, leaving him with a sort of negative social game. All was not fully lost for Grey, however, due to Matt being fairly dry activity wise, essentially relegating the Dausaqalo first boot to serving nothing socially vs serving negative socially. Also to his credit, he did have one or two on his tribe such as Ripple that vocally preferred him over Matt solely for the activity difference. Luckily, this battle of the bottoms never had to see the light when a beneficial tribe swap saw Grey gain a favorable position on Nu Tovui. Starting his social game anew, he was able to become well liked by Dar and Tye, with OG Dausaqalo Kyle also in his favor solely for stability. His greatest game flaw came when his negative social tendencies cropped up at full volume; after hearing from Dar that Horhe was gunning for him, Grey made it extremely well known he disliked Horhe, including to Dar himself. Dar ran this back to Horhe, who revealed to Dar that he possessed a Hidden Immunity Idol and would likely be playing it that round due to his name cropping up. This lead to Dar’s masterplan coming to fruition; get Grey and Horhe to despise each other and fan the flames knowing Grey would be going and this would lead to a 4-1 if he said he was onboard, but all the while knowing about Horhe’s imminent idol play to set himself up in the most favorable position. This worked out perfectly, with Grey playing the part of bitterly spreading Horhe’s name and being completely blindsided by the idol play, sent home with a single vote. He is remembered for his immense confidence that Horhe was going home due to being “bad at the game” and that he had the entire tribe wrapped around his finger, not knowing that Dar was the puppet master of the vote.
Flapjack

**Flapjack** (Flapjack#9994) placed 7th in Season 4.

An aspiring force of chaos, Flapjack had an interesting start in the Moli Tribe. Initially forming a tight duo with Jackson, when he made an alliance with Phoenix without Phoenix’s blessing, Flapjack was forced to distance himself from Jackson. Due to this, Flapjack’s social standing went up and he was able to keep a fairly good “middle” position within the Moli Tribe. After a Tribe Swap, Jackson found himself with three of his OG tribemates and Dangan, which put him in yet another great middle position. However, his standing in the game was tanked before the merge even occurred when Phoenix puppeteered him into publicly targeting the Nu Apolo tribe to lose Fruit Basket, infuriating the Banana Bandits. This villainy caused him to be left out of the dominant merge alliance “The Jackson 5,” as well as his earlier apparent duo with Jackson from the OG Moli Tribe. Flapjack found himself ghosted by most of this alliance and firmly on the bottom, and often beefed with the OG Moli Tribe (namely Pheonix) for fracturing. At the auction, Flapjack was the ideal target due to pissing off the Jackson 5 and being a bigger potential social threat than outcast Mug- however, Flapjack was able to secure Safety Without Power from the auction and successfully saved himself, using his safety to continue to try to turn the tribe on Phoenix.  The following vote, Dangan flipped to the minority to orchestrate a show-stopping blindside of power player Phoenix. While initially skeptical of Dangan and almost ruining the plan, Flapjack relented and joined in, though the following vote Flapjack initially was ready to flip the game back onto Dangan and orchestrate a blindside of his own. With Ben onside, Flapjack initially thought he had the numbers, despite Dangan genuinely wanting to blindside Ben with them. The minority felt that if they caused enough chaos now, Giuli would go home somehow even without Dangan’s vote, not trusting anyone but themselves. This did not happen when the Jackson 5 came back together due to the shiftiness of the minority, and Flapjack was completely blindsided in a 4-3 vote due to the Jackson 5 feeling he was the least likely to have an idol. He is remembered for telling the tribe he was drunk often, frustrating some allies attempting to strategize.
Domain

**Domain** (Domain76#1797) placed 6th in Season 3.

A strong and analytical player, Domain began the game by running the Kama tribe in its early days. Additionally, he quickly found the Kama idol. However, Domain was suddenly relegated to the bottom of his tribe after he pushed too hard for the inactive Saturn to stay. With the rest of the tribe seeing that Domain was attempting to control the tribe, his days were numbered before Kama miraculously edged out a win in a double elimination at the last minute. After a tribe swap, Domain once again found himself on the bottom of the tribe. Mink’s flip flopping nature, however, saw Domain prevail yet again when Mink used his extra vote to blindside Julian with the OG Kama. It was on this tribe that the strong, unbreakable duo of Domain and Johnny also formed. At the merge, Domain was once again in a rocky position due to being perceived as a strong player from the leak of other Kama members. Despite this, Domain was able to keep the target off of himself and claw forward in the game from other threats slipping up and positioning himself well with his duo. At the F7, he pulled off a showstopping blindside with his idol despite the opposing alliance having the numbers to split the vote, sending Kazeno to the jury. With nowhere left to turn and immunity slipping from his grasp, Domain felt all was lost until he found the Wai Extra Vote. While initially planning to get the other four to split their votes this time and use this advantage for a 3-2-2, Envi spooked Domain into holding onto his advantage and abandoning this plan when he lied about Shelby having a “cursed idol” he would use on Domain if voted out. Leaking that he had an extra vote and believing Envi proved to be his downfall, the opposing alliance did not split and finally sent Domain to the jury in a 4-2 vote.
Harry

**Harry** (SlayerOfDoom#9487) placed 7th in Season 2 & 17th in Season 8.

Right from the start, Harry proved to be endearingly awkward socially on Vula & beyond. His manner of speaking and “bad” suggestions in challenges lead him to secretly being an outcast of the Eevee Alliance despite feeling he was running his tribe himself. After the first swap, Harry was unbothered when he was revealed to be relegated to the bottom of the tribe after Ceejay’s departure due to his aloof manner. Upon a second swap, he angered the Eevee Alliance to the point of no return after accidentally voting for Izzy and ruining their split vote plan. This led Anthony in particular to hate him, starting up a fierce rivalry between the two players. Harry would continue to be aloof throughout his time in the merge, adopted by Gabriel as a number and potential goat. Despite this, he was able to obtain a Hidden Immunity Idol and tell everyone a bad lie about it, leading them to not believe him at all despite practically confirming it. In the end, when Beetnorf won immunity, Gabriel deemed that Harry was a safe bet to blindside in a 5-2 vote due to Anthony’s willingness to vote his rival out of the game. He is best remembered for not knowing much about the game and referring to the vote outs as “death” or “killing” many rounds.

Returning in Season 8, Harry was on the outs early on the Ilolma Tribe due to being fairly inactive socially. Initially, his saving grace was being in the same timezone as Cherry, who wanted to keep him in the game to benefit himself. However, as the days went on Harry made less and less conversation with his tribemates, and alliances formed without him. When Ilolma lost the second immunity challenge due to almost their entire tribe finding pitfalls, Harry was immediately in danger as the tribe shopped out that it would be an “easy vote.” Harry attempted to push Rikki’s name, as Rikki was the next least active socially due to timezone constraints, but he had already committed the rookie mistake of missing out on the valuable early tribal socializing. In the end, an easy and rather uneventful 5-1 vote sent Harry to the prejury before he got to deliver on his chaos he had promised producers pregame.
Karma

**Karma** (FearKarma#2546) placed 16th in Season 3.

Starting the game strong, Karma was able to form an early majority alliance on Qele. The perceived leader of his tribe, Karma was able to execute the swift elimination of his ORG-rival Dexter right from the start. Things were looking up for Karma after this, as he had good social bonds with everyone but Mink. However, Karma got lax in his position and when Qele was sent to their second Tribal Council, he did not put as much work into ironing out trust with his allies. This mistake saw Envi begin to doubt their game relationship and plot Karma’s demise, which Karma completely blindsided in a 3-2 vote.
South

**South** (Southieo#5619) placed 15th in Season 1.

In stark contrast to the rest of Saharah, South was extremely quiet. He was inactive for the entire game except for a single night, coming on to angrily wanting to fight with Azzy after hearing he lied about an alliance they had. Ultimately, he was the first unanimous vote in Aurora Survivor history as he was going to be evac’d anyway at Leilani’s first Tribal Council due to his inactivity.
Peter

**Peter** (FossilizedBlob#1997) placed 15th in Season 6.

Starting off relatively well on the Moto Tribe, Peter was full of conflicting ideas on who to target from the start. Initially, he was fixated on targeting Ives as a social threat, though was worried a bit about possibly overplaying. As such, he decided to play passively and socially, going along with the Pasta Party alliance to eliminate Jae. After this, his perceived tunnel vision on Ives settled, not knowing that he potentially would have had the numbers to pull his desired blindside with Ragu and Felipe wanting a bit of chaos. After the Ragu blindside, he began once again to weigh whether or not he should go the “easy” route and vote Felipe out, or secretly move ahead with his desire to finally send Ives packing. It was in this time that he formed a decent duo with Jazzy, which while reciprocated was short sighted as Jazzy’s own number one was Ives herself. Unbeknownst to him, Ives actually had been gaining a lot of social traction with Felipe, in particular being the most vocal advocate of switching the target to Ragu instead at their prior Tribal Council. This coupled with her duo with Jazzy put Peter into a tight spot. On top of all of this, there was some Idol searching drama; essentially, the whole tribe was helping each other search but being a bit deceptive about the extent of it. Peter in particular was worried that Jazzy would find out he was sharing his searches and clues with Felipe, and said for DAYS he needed to tell her. He did eventually when Felipe was caught lying about a clue that Peter double checked, but it was too late; Felipe had informed Ives, who had informed Jazzy. Because her other two allies were voting for Peter and he was exposed as lying, Jazzy reluctantly agreed with them to vote for Peter despite it not being fully in her best interest. Peter was then blindsided in a 3-1 vote when he could not trust his closest ally in the game. He is remembered for wanting to intentionally throw and lose challenges to minimize Moto’s threat level, which they then ironically DID lose almost all of the pre-swap challenges genuinely and sent him home.
Kev

**Kev** (Kev#9448) placed 10th in Season 6.

A very quiet member of Isasabai, Kev started the marooning very strongly with many confessionals and good 1-1 chats with his tribemates. This would quickly die off, as he became steadily marked as one of the “dry” players thereafter in the coming weeks. Despite this, these starting bonds saw him set up well in his tribe, particularly being close with Penny. Some on the tribe wanted to target Kev for said “dryness” but worried Penny’s big personality would freak out at a blindside, thus effectively preserving Kev’s game through the pre and post swap of premerge. During the swap, Kev formed a close alliance with Ives that quickly became controversial, as he was often observed vaguely flirting with her and making her uncomfortable, just up to the line of a rule breach. This even earned the ire of the viewers as, when asking Jazzy for a trio with him and Ives, he suggested they should “do a Threesome” which shocked the two women. However, Kev assured that this was not flirting and seemed to drop this sense of humor after a warning, but the damage was permanent to his reputation within the game as this began to circulate around the island. It was around this time that he felt his social game was weak enough to be the first merge boot and randomly decided to give Ives an Extra Vote he found after the merge, which he would come to regret and unsuccessfully try to see the return of. The nail in his coffin came with Dodge the Arrow, as he felt in the final round Penny lied to him and played him despite Penny insisting it suggested they both RNG their charges. Because of this, Kev had a bit of a fit and became the first contestant in Aurora Survivor history to request production to physically remove him from every alliance Penny was in with him rather than just ignore it. As imagined, this was not received well by his allies in said alliances, especially Penny who before that point would have campaigned for him to stay. Additionally, Mariana was even considering a longshot of playing her idol for him prior to the bridge burning that made her feel it would be social suicide and pointless due to OG Isasabai now fracturing. Much like the vote before him, Kev was now basically a deadman walking, allegedly being informed he was going home and there was nothing to be done about it. In the end, another near unanimous 9-1-1 vote sent a fairly good natured Kev to the jury as the entire tribe had either no social bond or an unpleasant experience with him, making him a liability for anyone to work with.
Brandon

**Brandon** (BrAnDon#7994) placed 11th in Season 2.

A clear front runner from the start, Brandon found himself with many of OG Matanisiga putting a lot of trust in him. This would allow him to build an army slowly, seemingly a front runner to win the game early. Only furthering this was Gabriel flipping with him after swap, as Brandon was able to successfully mist Gabriel into treating Brandon as his #1. After the second swap, Brandon found himself in danger as the OG Vulas recognized how he could say all the right things and deemed him a threat. However, he was able to mist Harry and Will into ranking him as their #1 ally as well, and additionally manipulated Izzy into throwing her vote so that the Vula split vote plan would fail. At the merge, Brandon had all of the Matanisigas but Niall in his pocket, plus Gabriel and the two Vulas. With Gabriel attempting to pad his social game with the Kalokalos, he was set to run the merge portion of the game, until an impassioned Anthony was able to successfully build a counter alliance to blindside Brandon’s side of the game in a 6-4-2 vote. He is best remembered for his dismay at placing “so low” as well as underestimating Anthony’s abilities because it was his first ORG, leading his guard to be dropped for his blindside.
Basil

**Basil** (DDrakgo#3727) is a Runner-Up of Season 2 & placed 9th in Season 5.

Starting the game off strongly on Kalokalo, Basil proved to be a presence in the challenges both socially and competitively. Having a strong duo with Beetnorf, Basil formed the stealthy Off the Rails alliance with themselves, Norf, and Gabriel that pulled the strings of many Tribal Councils from the shadows. Basil foresaw this group of players and their sub alliances running the game, deciding that they’d attempt to appear on their coattails while planning to blindside them at the end of the game. While much of the game wanted to work with them initially, after the merge Basil began to rub many the wrong way. They often wouldn’t give those beyond their true alliance the time of day, and particularly upset Anthony and Emy with a joke deemed insensitive directly after blindsiding them. Because of this, a strong anti-Basil sentiment lurked in the shadows of much of the game. However, Basil was able to pull off their plan to perfection when Gabriel flopped at the F4 firemaking challenge, leaving them thinking they were in the F3 with two goats. Unfortunately, Basil’s opening statements only further soured the jury and led to a bitter Q&A portion of their FTC, turning the jury off completely due to perceived arrogance and not fully owning their game. In the end, Basil was left shocked to become a co-runner up in a 6-1-1 vote due to the jury’s dislike of them & failing the speaking portion of the FTC. Basil is distinct for being the first person in Aurora Survivor history to make it to the FTC without having a vote cast against them during the game.

Off to a rocky start not even remembering their original placement, Basil would find themself quite aloof starting from the start on Kisiti in Season 5. They wanted to play a more passive and positive social game, and while they did to an extent, were relatively clueless to the going ons of the game past the first few rounds of trying. This was very apparent when at the merge, they were shocked to find out that the Shot in the Dark was a thing for this season. Despite their threat level being very low in reality and Basil themself being self aware that they were playing a “goat game,” others on the tribe (particularly Will) found Basil to be a big sleeper threat due to how they placed and played on Season 2. When Harry betrayed Will and Anthony to blindside Alec, Basil actually voted for Suari and told Will this. Basil also claimed that Harry had to be the one lying to Will, who instantly ran this to Harry as a reason that Basil needed to get out ASAP. Knowing they had a good shot at going home, Basil voted for Suari with their fake alliance but was only mildly blindsided when the vote ended 5-1 against them. They are remembered for not knowing what was going on past the few rounds they played hard, as well as their final words that the season was boring and that no one was talking or playing, hence not caring about the game.
Parker

**Parker** (guyperson123) placed 9th in Big Brother Season 2.

Despite some players finding him socially grating at the premiere, Parker would find himself decently shielded by social players following the Roadblock twist. He would slowly gain intel on his closer allies such as Kyle that made him voice early that he found them untrustworthy. Despite this, it would seem his true allegiance was with the night one Flavor of Love alliance, consisting of himself, Austin, Kyle, and Dee. In Week 3, he would be paired with Denim for the Team Twist. Parker would be fairly UTR for most of the game, being a bit hard to read even to producers/viewers. In Week 6, Parker would find out Cherry was the Invisible HOH when Kyle accidentally posted confessionals to their alliance chat; he did not seem to take note of how weird this was, however, or take it as indication he might be on the bottom of the alliance. Confessionaling that “no one was playing the game,” Parker himself at this point seemed very content to just go with the house. In Week 7, he would be part of the House group for the detour. It would be up to him to win the veto and save his alliance when Austin and Dee were nominated, as he went to work misting Anthony to try to stay off the block if one of them won. When he failed to win, Dee at least would remove himself from the block and give the trio the opportunity to get Motha Vanity out of the game. Unfortunately, his own OTT acting skills of wanting Austin out came off as a little strong and sudden to Anthony. This, coupled with Dee’s sudden messaging post veto led Anthony to clocking their trio, despite also saying he was being delusional/paranoid. From all this, Parker would land on the block as the pawn being deemed the safer option to get Austin evicted. Seemingly not campaigning enough to be confessionaled about even by himself, Parker would get flipped on by Motha Vanity in a 2 - 0 vote and sent to jury.
Scotti

**Scotti** (Scotti#4204) placed 16th in Season 9.

An ORG newcomer, Scotti started off as a humorous and well natured character on the Tovui Tribe. Relatively well positioned, Scotti would find himself integrated into “The Dance Moms” majority alliance with Wyld Best, Skylar, and Tye. Despite this, WB felt that Scotti and Tye were positioning themselves well and wanted to attempt to form a rift between the two, casting a hinky vote for Tye and stating Scotti told him at the last minute. The ensuing chaos when Scotti denied this caused WB to completely spiral at being caught, quitting the game while lightly blaming Scotti privately for said quit. Scotti would begin his first spiral here, but was calmed down when it came to light that WB had more-so made his mind up to leave prior to any drama between the two that happened post Tribal Council. The following round, Scotti would once again spiral when the endurance challenge was testing him, stating that he found none of the challenges fun, the idol grid “stupid,” and that he wasn’t having any fun in the game in general due to the frequent losses of Tovui. Despite an extensive and long talk with production about taking care of himself and hinting that he would not quit and just needed a break for the night, Scotti would suddenly leave the server and quit the game the next day. His reason for quitting, rather than the not having fun/protecting MH, was stated that he saw their tribe was losing and “knew he was going home anyway” and “responsible for their tribe’s losses,” marking him as the second person in the season to quit for similar reasons. Ironically, he had pretty good chances to stay in the game and make the swap given he was in the majority alliance. He is remembered for saying that he “wasn’t quitting, but more walking” from the game despite those being the same thing.
