Ten years ago she made the final three but lost the title of Sole Survivor to Michele Fitzgerald on Kaôh Rōng. This time the Survivor gods shone down on Aubry Bracco, the winner of Survivor 50 and the two million dollar grand prize.

Aubry won Survivor 50 with 8 jury votes. Jonathan finished second with three and Joe received none.

Rizo, Tiffany, Cirie, Rick, Ozzy, Emily, Christian and Dee voted for Aubry. Stephenie, Coach and Chrissy voted for Jonathan. Breaking the “car curse”, Aubry was also awarded a brand new car.

“I have come in second place, gone deep scrapping, flopped really hard with an idol in my pocket and I came back. I was more intuitive. I trusted myself. I moved differently and most importantly I learned from all the incredible players and winners that came before me. Sandra taught me to be more direct and not cagey. Sarah taught me to plot way ahead. Underwood taught me you can win at the eleventh hour and Michelle taught me so many lessons,” Aubry told host, producer Jeff Probst.

During the finale, a bitter Tiffany was the first to be voted out when she didn’t win an Immunity Challenge. Aubry won the final Immunity Challenge and sent Jonathan and Rizo to the fire-making challenge. For the second season in a row, Rizo was defeated in fire-making.

Also during the finale, Cirie was given a special, individual award in recognition of all the people she has inspired to play and also won $100,000 from Australian singer, songwriter Sia. The twist this time around with Sia’z gift was the fans voted on the winner.

There was also a preview for Survivor 51.

During the promo featuring all new players, Probst said: “A new crop of players is about to birth a new kind of game and this one has no boundaries. For the first time ever, our entire history, every advantage, every idol, every twist we have ever done in 50 seasons of Survivor is in play along with dangerous new elements never seen before. It is now a shape-shifting game, changing without warning creating permanent uncertainty. It is the Open Era of Survivor.”

Survivor 51 debuts this fall on Global TV.
