Cambridge ‘Survivor’ contestant didn’t win, but fans thought she should have
No $1 million for Aubry Bracco, who placed in the final three.
Aubry Bracco, a 29-year-old social media marketer from Cambridge, did not win the $1 million prize on CBS’s Survivor Wednesday night, but some fans of the show thought that she should have.
That #SurvivorFinale was HIGHWAY RAUBRY. (I think @aubrybracco should have won.)

Bracco made it to the final three of the reality TV show competition, which was set on the island of Kaôh Rong in Cambodia for its 32nd season with the theme “Brains, Brawn, and Beauty.” Bracco was delegated to team “Brains.”
you were robbed! Guess they couldn’t handle back to back Boston winners. Still proud of you!

In the season finale Wednesday night, Bracco addressed the jury, made up of already voted-off contestants, about why she should be named the sole Survivor. Though the jury didn’t choose Bracco—they decide the winner by voting for who they think best played the game—Bracco did receive compliments for her growth over the season.
Worst survivor finale in a long time. @aubrybracco needs to demand a recount #SurvivorFinale

“Aubry was a come from behind player. She started out in a deep hole. Maybe too deep,” Probst told EW. “Her recovery was really something amazing as she went from ‘first out’ to final three. That’s quite an accomplishment when you go back to episode one.”
I can’t remember the last time we watched a FTC where there was such a clear cut winner.Unfortunately the jury didn’t agree. @aubrybracco ❤️

One juror, Debbie Wanner, praised Bracco for her “metamorphosis from a neurotic nerd to geek warrior.”
Can’t remember being this disappointed after a Survivor Finale. Fantastic job @aubrybracco. Very unlucky.
