Aubry is one of 18 new castaways playing in Survivor: Kaoh Rong - Brawn vs. Brains vs. Beauty. As a social media marketer, Aubry has been placed on the Brains tribe, assigned to those with above average intelligence.
The 29-year-old has clearly done her research before competing on the show, saying in her CBS bio that she is basically the love child of Survivor winners Sophie Clarke and John Cochran, with the hair of the always memorable Shambo Waters.

Aubry may look like an unassuming type, but she can be very persuasive when she needs to be, as she says in her bio:
"My name (it means 'leader of the elves') and the way I pursued my education with my own style," she says, of her personal claim to fame. "I convinced my advisers at Brown University to let me write a children's book about a manatee instead of a 50-page thesis and went on to graduate with honors."
A big Survivor fan, Aubry believes she can use her listening skills to get further and possibly win the game.
"I'm an expert listener and a journalist at heart so I'm inherently observant and social," she says. "I look for the most genuine and self-aware person in the room so I can connect with them, and I'm on the prowl for the most fake person in the room so I know what I'm dealing with. I want to prove to myself that I have what it takes to manage personalities under pressure with $1,000,000 on the line."
