Aubry Bracco’s $2 Million Survivor 50 Victory Takes An Emotional Turn As She Reveals Her Next Chapter

The tribe has spoken and Aubry Bracco is walking away the winner of Survivor season 50.

And she already has plans for her $2 million prize.

“I have a 2-and-a-half-year-old,” Aubry told E! News after the May 20 finale, “and I want to make sure his future is all set.”

As for whether she’ll treat herself to any luxuries with her winnings, the 39-year-old added, “I really want a dry sauna, you know, an infrared sauna. But I like to keep it kinda low key.”

Plus, there was one person in particular she had to thank for her extra-large prize pot: Rick Devens. After all, during the season, the newscaster risked his game in a Mr. Beast-led challenge which doubled the season’s cash prize, the biggest pot ever for a Survivor winner.

Which is why Aubry told E! she plans to spend some cash on getting “a nice meal for Devens.”

And perhaps she can drive her new Toyota Land Cruiser to dinner, a surprise reward added at the live finale

“The car was like, ‘Here’s an ice cream sundae,’” Aubry joked, “‘want a cherry and extra sprinkles on top?’”

Her win feels like a cherry on top of a four-game journey. But heading into final tribal, she didn’t want to get too ahead of herself.

“I had a good feeling that I left it all on the table,” she explained. “I felt good, I was confident that I had articulated my game. But after Survivor 32, I have learned I am not satisfied until that is on ink and the votes are read. So, I was hopeful, but I did not think it was a done deal.”

Plus, she knew her fellow finalists Jonathan Young and Joe Hunter were also forces to be reckoned with.

“I thought Jonathan played an incredible game,” she noted. “And Joe is an unbelievable human being.”

The same can be said for Tiffany Ervin, who finished fifth.

“In addition to her physical prowess, Tiffany had one of the best social games I’ve ever seen,” she said. “Tiffany could stab you in the back and you’re like, ‘Oh my gosh, I really, really like her.’ And that scared me as someone to go against in the final.”

For a look back at the many players Aubry had to outwit, outplay and outlast this season, read on.
