\u201cSurvivor 50<\/a>\u201d castaway Joe Hunter has made it to the final tribal council of the grueling competition show twice, but walked away with slim to none when it came to jury votes. <\/p>\n On Wednesday night, four-time \u201cSurvivor\u201d player Aubry Bracco was crowned sole survivor and won the not $1-million but $2-million prize (thanks to a twist that involved a coin toss and MrBeast<\/a>), and Jonathan Young came in second. Hunter, a firefighter and fan favorite, lost on an 8-3-0 vote. <\/p>\n According to Hunter, jury members had made up their minds before the remaining three castaways even had a shot to sweeten their chances at the final tribal council. <\/p>\n \u201cI sit down in that chair for final Tribal, right? I\u2019m thinking alright, here we go,\u201d Hunter told \u201cEntertainment Weekly<\/a>.\u201d \u201cRight away, the second before any word was said, I went, \u2018Oh, that one hates me, this one hates me, hate me, hate me, hate me.\u2019 And I thought, \u2018There\u2019s zero chance.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Hunter was somewhat optimistic leading up to the tribal council and said that he thought some of the jury members had come with an open mind. \u201cI\u2019ll give credit to Emily, Rick Devens, Christian, Dee,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n \u201cI just felt it was very transparent based on the questions and responses that, before this thing started, I think it was a wrap.\u201d<\/p>\n During the series finale, \u201cSurvivor\u201d legend Cirie Fields put Hunter on blast, saying that castaways felt like they had to babysit him and jokingly calling it the \u201cJoetation\u201d when it was a player\u2019s turn to sway Hunter to vote alongside them.<\/p>\n Hunter chalked up the babysitting remark to his own naivete when it came to being vulnerable with other players he thought were his friends on the island. \u201cI just put that vulnerability in the wrong hands,\u201d he told the outlet. \u201cThat\u2019s really what it is. And that\u2019s part of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n
