They are definitely trying to paint Aubry as the winner
with the edit for the preview. She is being painted as the
architect for all that is happening.

Aubry: "I think Jonathan feels like the Ozzy vote was all his doing...
on Kaoh Rong.. I lost bc I was sitting next to the wrong ppl. This
time, I'm ruthlessly focused on 1 thing, getting rid of every threat
in this game... it's go time now.o


I truly hope this is just to throw the viewers off the track of the
real winner, but I fear it isn't.

They (production) even followed it up with a post on the Survivor
Instagram where Jonathan tells Aubry that she could be in trouble
and she responds with her having played the game 4 times so she
knows what is up.

I hope I'm wrong but it really does feel like they are going to try
and sell Aubry as a worthy winner in these last few weeks. I don't
think someone can turn it on in the last few days (or appear to do so
because of the edit) and be a worthy winner. Just because you were
able to get to the end doesn't make you worthy.

At this point Rizzo, Cirie are people I would be happy with winning.
Tiffany and Devens would also be okay. I can't justify Jonathan, Joe
or Aubry winning in my mind.

I did some research on previous seasons where the person with the
winners edit ended up losing, and ironically one of the best examples
was Kaoh Rong where Aubry got the best edit by far and also led the
betting markets going into the finale (though not by the margin she is
leading this season). Could Aubry being getting a false edit on two
different seasons? The big difference with Kaoh Rong was of course that
Aubry seemed to deserve her edit since she was the key strategic player
and was shown during the season to be the dominant player in the game.
This season she has really been very low key and you are right that they
are seemingly force feeding her into the edit by including her
commentary on moves she wasn't even a part of.

In a way this reminds me more of Survivor The Amazon, where the full
results were spoiled before the season aired and caused them to change
the edit in a way that made eventual winner Jenna look whiny and less significant and played up Rob Cesternino as the dominant player of the
season. It certainly fooled me. I had heard the spoilers about Jenna
winning but totally disregarded them when I saw what a dominant season
Rob C. was having. So the counter-edit plan to make Rob seem like the
winner definitely worked. But again this season seems different because
they seem to be really pushing an involvement by Aubry in
decision-making that just doesn't match what we are seeing. It's quite strange.

That was my fear after watching that clip yesterday. It's been ages
since they've tried to trick us that much. To make matters even worse,
at least for me, the CBS Survivor IG account yesterday posted a story
asking people what questions they would like to ask Cirie. I've never
seen something like that being done in advance so I wonder if someone
messed up big time. If Cirie does get booted tomorrow it would fit
Steph's spoiler and just about confirm the edit. With Cirie gone, the
only other player that might win is Rizo but he's not been getting a
winner's edit as far as I'm concerned.

They're manipulating the hell out of Aubry's edit to justify her
winning. If she doesn't win, the edit makes no sense. Cirie's getting
the smartest player edit but not a winner's edit. If Devens wins is he
going to keep lucking out until the end. If that happens his edit will
make sense.
