Baden Cooke is a contestant from Australian Survivor: Brains v Brawn (2021).
After reluctantly forming an alliance with George Mladenov, Baden found himself on the bottom of the Brains tribe. Despite this, he stayed loyal to his tribemates through their successes on the switched Brawn tribe and during their downfall in the early post-merge game. After a twist allowed Brawn member Dani Beale to unilaterally send him to Redemption Rock, Baden lost the challenge to return to the game against Hayley Leake and became the first member of the jury.

^2 The reward was dependent on each castaway's finish in the challenge. ^3 Three Immunity Necklaces were up for grabs. The three immune players would be the only ones who would have the opportunity to vote at Tribal Council. | |||||
