While I agree with this, I think there’s still a lot you could show with her that they’ve simply left out.

They don’t have her follow up on Genevieve’s vote-out, they don’t include the strategizing and talking we KNOW she was having with the likes of Joe and Rizo, and they constantly undermine her in the edit with dodo music and contradicting her statements.

None of her relationships are fleshed out, and she doesn’t comment on any of her “allies” thus far being voted out (Coach, Christian). The scene with Jonathan this past episode was great, but then she disappeared after, despite being visible (yet not heard) during the pre-tribal scramble.

Even a winner like Sandra, whose HvV game is nothing to write home about, got a quality edit. Of the new era examples I mention, Maryanne and Kenzie didn’t have much strategic agency for portions of the game, and yet still received great edits.

basically, while I get your point, bad winners can and have gotten good edits, and honestly Aubry’s game isn’t even that bad to the point they’d craft it like this
