The Countdown to Survivor: Game Changers is upon us! This all returning player cast looks to have some of the best to ever play the game as well as some of the shows greatest characters. It is very possible that this could be the greatest cast of all returning players in the shows 34 season history. Instead of dumping my whole cast assessment on everyone at once, I am going to write one or two of them a week so I can really delve into each player and analyze what they need to do to win the game. First up, Aubry, the runner up of Survivor: Kaoh Rong.
The controversy of Survivor: Kaoh Rong is still very fresh in our minds. Many still believe, including myself that Aubry was the rightful winner. She had a hand in every single vote off and to the viewer her game was much more visible. However, she did a bad job with jury management which led her to lose to eventual winner Michele. The jury claimed they did not see her game until the show aired which is too little too late for Aubry.
Aubry was very strategic during her season. She had alliances with Neal, Joe, Cydney, and others as well. Like I said before she had a hand in voting out every one that ended up going home. Let's not forget how she epically beat Cydney in a Fire Making Challenge to go to the Final 3.
What Aubry needs to do to win this season is she needs to have more of a social game, but also be as strategic. I think her social game will help her get that game to be more visible and possibly put her at the end. This season is really going to be about the social game with players such as JT, Sandra, Malcolm and Zeke. This is going to be crucial to her game. I think she can correct this too. When she went into Kaoh Rong, she really was kind of a soft spoken, geeky type girl however she really came into her own as the season went along. I think I speak for the entire Survivor Community when I say that I am excited to have her back. However, I can totally see Aubry being a person that just gets it wrong on her second time playing. With all of the talk about her game being invisible, I can see her going out there playing way too agressively and finding herself on the prejury very soon. She is lucky she has big targets such as Tony and Sandra out there, however she is going to have to be very careful with not overplaying her hand.
Aubry is someone that really could go either way this season. I can see her as being a potential winner, but I can also see her going out very soon. We will just have to wait and see.
