[50][Speculation] At this rate, is Aubry more deserving than Jonathan?

I already foresee the responses, jury management and likability I understand. But let’s be for real, has Aubry played a better game than Jonathan up to this point? Absolutely not. Aubry has to have some kind of major move or have a general uptick in her game to make me think that she’s deserving. Jonathan has had a rough go with the past few votes and his alliance has basically been decimated, but he’s consistently gotten through and been the leading factor in his core of people through out the season. It feels like Aubry is just being dragged through with minimal effort? Idk I’ve always had a more old school approach when it comes to survivor winners, even if things don’t shake out your way all the time I prefer a winner that’s rough and gritty over complacent . Not afraid to be viewed in a certain light and genuinely trying to play a great game. In this new era of social media and fandom I feel like Jonathan gets an over exaggerated bad rep, at the end of the day he’s a pretty nice guy with some mildly harsh moments. There’s been so many assholes and genuine bad people on survivor I couldn’t imagine how the fandom would act towards them on a modern season. People are so used to the happy go lucky new era survivor, the moment someone has an attitude these days they’re a piece of shit! Casting is constantly complained about, but then people will run to go trash contestants on their social media pages because they don’t like them? Seems to get a little messy these days for basically no reason sometimes. Leave that energy for players like Dan spilo, someone who really deserves to be shit on. Kinda rambling but oh well, I do like Aubry I just want it to feel like she deserves the win. And again I understand Jonathan isn’t playing some mastermind game but he’s trying and Aubry coasting from what I’m seeing. Let me know if I’m missing the bigger picture here because while I love survivor I don’t get too deep in the details.
