There are a lot of hardcore Survivor fans who watch the edit very closely. They track confessional counts, analyze the tone players are getting and try to figure out why certain storylines and alliances are either included or omitted. For weeks, they’ve been convinced there were only four players left with real winner potential, but after episode 10, many are quickly backtracking and suddenly convinced a surprise fifth player might be the winner.
The player in question is Aubry Bracco, and to say she’s received an unusual edit would be an understatement. She’s gotten at least one confessional in every episode (which is true of every winner since Survivor 42), but a lot of the content she’s gotten has been negative. We’ve been shown a bunch of confessionals about how she was ready to start playing the game or ready to make big moves, only to not be involved in whatever move was actually made that episode. Throw in how her weird feud with Genevieve was depicted early in the season, and the overall picture has been kind of hapless and impotent.
