Season chronology

The first season of Australian Survivor is the inaugural Australian adaptation of the popular reality game show Survivor. The season was filmed in Whaler's Way, an Eyre Peninsula coastal nature reserve near Port Lincoln, South Australia in the Great Australian Bight, where numerous ships had sunk off the coast in the past, setting up the season's nautical theme.

Hosted by 60 Minutes journalist Lincoln Howes, the program consisted of 16 Australian castaways competing for 39 days for a grand prize of A$500,000 and a Ford V6 Escape. The series was filmed in November and December 2001 and aired weekly between February and May 2002 on the Nine Network, culminating in a live finale on 15 May 2002, where former Victorian Football League player Robert "Rob" Dickson was crowned the "Sole Survivor" over former test pilot Sciona Browne in a jury vote of 5–2.

The program was criticised by fans and critics for poor casting and lower production values than the popular American edition (which also aired on Nine) and was not renewed due to low ratings.[1] However the series did return (albeit on a different network) in 2006 with a celebrity edition.

Production edit

Conception edit

In 2000, Nine began airing Survivor: Borneo, the first season of the American Survivor production. The agreement for Nine to air the American series included the condition that they must produce their own local Australian edition of Survivor. The local edition was announced publicly during the night of the local airing of the finale of Survivor: The Australian Outback in early May 2001. This announcement also began the casting call for Australians willing to compete on the show.

Filming and development edit

The people included for consideration for host included Grant Kenny, Jamie Durie and Richard Hatch, the "Sole Survivor" of Survivor: Borneo. Eventually, Lincoln Howes, a journalist from Nine's 60 Minutes, was named as host.[2]

The production scouted locations across Australia to be used for the series. Locations considered included Uluru/Ayers Rock in the Northern Territory and the Kimberley region in Western Australia. However production settled on Whaler's Way, on the South Australian coastline, 30 km (19 mi) from the town of Port Lincoln, where the production crew was based. This location set up a nautical/shipwreck theme for the series. A majority of the challenges centred around the water (many of which were originally created by the show and not derived from the American series), Tribal Council was located on a shipwreck called "The Great Beyond", tribal immunity was in the form of a bell, and individual immunity was in the form of a rope necklace with shark's teeth. The theme song incorporated an Irish jig in a nod to Australian history – First Fleet arriving.[citation needed] An extended version of the main theme was played during the closing credits of the live finale and reunion show.

Broadcast edit

The show was broadcast by the Nine Network in the Wednesday 8:30 pm time slot and was rated PG. In addition to 12 regular hour-long episodes and the 3-hour long finale/reunion show, two specials for the series were produced. An auditions special hosted by Ben Dark aired the day before the main series aired, showing some of the highlights and lowlights from the 8,500 audition submissions sent into the show before revealing the 16 people who would compete on the series. Additionally, the program included an interview with Ethan Zohn; the "Sole Survivor" of Survivor: Africa.[3] The other special was a behind-the-scenes show that aired a few weeks after the series ended and was titled Surviving Survivor. Among other things, this special revealed that the final four wanted to quit the show due to the dramatic turn of events concerning Katie's behaviour (her mental breakdown right before the Tribal Council on Day 37) as well as the threat of an unknown change in rules impacting the game's endgame, intended to make the castaways reassess their solidified strategies. The producers threatened to give the prize money to the last eliminated contestant (Sophie) if the contestants continued to defy production. The contestants eventually complied, and the threat of a rule change was unfounded, with the game continuing as intended.

The format of the Finale and Reunion shows of Nine's Australian Survivor was rather different to the American edition's finales at the time. The finale/reunion program featured reunion show host, Eddie McGuire, introducing each segment of the show live from the finale venue as the night progressed. The American production adopted this format starting with its 28th season, Survivor: Cagayan, in 2014, until the practice of a studio reunion show was dropped, with the last studio reunion being a part of the 39th season, Survivor: Island of the Idols.

Promotion edit

The evicted contestant from each episode was featured for an interview on the Today show on the following day. These interviews were conducted by Richard Wilkins just before the 8:00 AM news. This paralleled the American edition, where evicted Survivor contestants were interviewed on CBS' The Early Show during its time on air.

The program had several sponsors who were involved in product placements spots on the show (most as rewards for reward challenges). Sponsors included Cadbury, IBM, Jetset travel agencies, Schweppes, Fa deodorant for men, Lays potato crisps, Telstra, Ford and Intel Pentium (which was also used in producing the show's graphics).

Contestants edit

The sixteen players were initially separated into two tribes, Kadina and Tipara, both named after ships that traveled in the area. On Day 19, the ten remaining players merged into the Aurora tribe. The final nine players made up the two finalists and the seven members of the Tribal Council jury, who ultimately decided who would be the "Sole Survivor".

Season summary edit

The sixteen players were divided into two tribes: Kadina in green, and Tipara in blue. Tipara won more immunity challenges, and their members stuck together to systematically eliminate the Kadina members after the merge. A final three alliance of Rob, Sciona, and Joel emerged, and Rob eliminated Joel after winning the final immunity challenge. The jury respected Rob's leadership over Sciona's quieter gameplay, naming the former as Sole Survivor.

  3. ^ This challenge was a one-on-one duel, with Joel and Sylvan being chosen to participate by their respective tribes. Joel won the challenge and won immunity for his entire tribe.

Voting history edit

  2. ^ a b c d As the revote could not resolve the tied vote, a Tribal Council countback was called. Joel received no votes from earlier Tribal Councils while Jane received four, eliminating her from the game.
  3. ^ a b Joel and Sciona were not eligible to vote as the only eligible players they could vote for were each other, canceling both votes out.
  4. ^ a b Joel and Jane were not eligible to vote in the second Tribal Council vote.

Controversy and criticisms edit

The program received a large amount of criticism from fans of the American series, mainly centred on how this series was of lesser quality when compared to the US series.[5]

The casting process was criticised as the cast lacked diversity, being almost completely composed of 16 white middle class Australian people with very few of the 16 being there to "play the game". This lack of drive was especially evident in contestant Lucinda Allen-Rhodes, who not only asked to be voted off, but also was one of the very few people to cast a vote against herself at Tribal Council. In most other editions of Survivor, contestants cannot vote against themselves.

The nature of the camp life of the castaways was also criticised. The tribes were limited on which days they could go search for food. Tipara could go to the coast and fish while Kadina could only go to the windmill and pump water and on the next day, the tribes swapped. Additionally, the producers were also criticised for giving the contestants too many supplies.

The show also resulted in criticism in how the network aired the American series. Nine advertised that Survivor: Marquesas would air after the Australian series. Australian fans were upset when Nine decided not to broadcast Marquesas. It was skipped and instead, the network aired Survivor: Thailand. In late 2018, Marquesas was made legally available to Australian viewers via the 10 All Access streaming platform, which includes all prior seasons of the American edition.

In New Zealand, both Australian Survivor and Survivor: Marquesas aired concurrently.

Ratings edit

Although the show started off with satisfying ratings, it eventually declined to dismal ratings (possibly due to the popularity of another reality TV show, The Mole, which aired on Channel Seven an hour earlier at 7:30pm for all but four weeks of the Australian Survivor run). This showed especially when Nine decided to air the special, Surviving Survivor, in a late-night timeslot a fortnight after the conclusion of the series.[citation needed]

The second season of Australian Survivor, also known as Australian Celebrity Survivor and Celebrity Survivor: Vanuatu, is a television series based on the international reality game show franchise Survivor. The season featured 12 Australian celebrity contestants competing on the Vanuatuan island of Éfaté over 25 days for a grand prize of A$100,000 for the winner's chosen charity. It was hosted by television personality and former record company executive Ian "Dicko" Dickson.

After 25 days on the island, surf lifesaving champion Guy Leech was named the "Sole Survivor" in a 3–2 jury vote over actor Justin Melvey. Guy donated his A$100,000 charity prize to Ride Aid Inc[1] while the charities of the other players each received a donation of A$5,000.

The season aired on the Seven Network in 2006, the same year the network aired other celebrity-oriented reality programs including It Takes Two and Dancing with the Stars. Although better received than the Nine Network's 2002 season, Seven's Celebrity Survivor series was still only a modest success in the ratings and was not renewed by the Seven Network. A third Australian Survivor was not produced until 10 years later when Network Ten picked up the rights to the franchise and produced a third season which aired in 2016.

Production edit

Conception edit

In 2006, Nine Network held the rights to screen the American edition of Survivor and the licence to produce a local edition of Survivor, which resulted in Nine's 2002 edition of Australian Survivor. However, the Seven Network found a loophole in their contract and obtained the rights to produce Australian Celebrity Survivor, as Castaway Television views the Celebrity Survivor format as a different format from the regular format.[2][3] Castaway Television, who produced Nine's series, was again involved in the production of this second Australian season of Survivor.

Filming and development edit

The show was filmed on the island of Éfaté in Vanuatu, which was used for the 9th season of the American edition (Survivor: Vanuatu - Islands of Fire) and the 6th season of the French edition (Koh-Lanta: Vanuatu). Production of the series took place over twenty-five days, from late May to early June 2006, with promotional advertising beginning in July. The executive producer of Celebrity Survivor was David Mason, who also produced other shows on the Seven Network, such as Medical Emergency, Who Dares Wins and The Mole.

Promotion edit

Before the series began, Dickson and a few of the Celebrity Survivor contestants appeared on the Seven Network's breakfast news show, Sunrise, to promote the series. This paralleled what occurs in the American version, when the show is promoted on The Early Show, CBS' own breakfast news program, and what happened during the Nine Network's Australian Survivor venture, when the series was featured on the early morning show, Today and A Current Affair. Two of the season's contestants, Amber Petty and Nicolle Dickson, also appeared in television commercials for Olay Total Effects, which were broadcast during the series.

Contestants edit

From left to right: Kym Johnson, Wayne Gardner and Guy Leech

On Day 1, nine of the twelve players were divided based on gender into two tribes. The five women composed the Moso tribe and the four men made up the Kakula tribe. Later on Day 1, a player of the opposite gender joined each tribe. On Day 3, for winning the first immunity challenge, Kakula received a former soldier and survival expert as their sixth tribe member. On Day 6, the ten remaining players were redistributed into two mixed-gender tribes of five.

On Day 12, the seven remaining players merged into the Tanna tribe. These players made up the two finalists and the five members of the jury, who ultimately decided who would be the "Sole Survivor".

Season summary edit

Nine of the twelve celebrity castaways were divided into two tribes based on gender: Kakula (men) and Moso (women). A player of the opposite gender joined each tribe later on day 1 (Justin on Moso and Gabrielle on Kakula), and Kakula won an additional tribe member for winning the first immunity challenge (“survival expert” Ben). A tribe swap on day 6 sent David & Elton to Moso and Imogen & Nicolle to Kakula, and the tribes merged into the Tanna tribe on day 12.

Initially, the players joined forces to eliminate Guy first, for being the most obvious physical threat, and Elton soon followed for the same reason. The tribe turned on Justin due to him allegedly making a monetary deal with Gabrielle for him to remain in the game, and Gabrielle was the next to go after her ally. The first four voted out since the merge competed for a chance to re-enter the game, with Guy and Justin emerging victorious. David, Imogen, and Nicolle's attempts to vote the two of them out again due to their newfound threat status were futile, and they were all eliminated by Guy and Justin, who reached the final two. In the end, the jury sided with Guy, and he won the prize money for his charity.

Season 4

The third season of Australian Survivor is a television series based on the international reality game show franchise Survivor. This season, announced by Ten in November 2015,[1] is the third Australian edition of the program, the second to feature non-celebrity contestants and the first to air on Network Ten. The first season aired on the Nine Network in 2002, while the second season (a celebrity edition) aired in 2006 on the Seven Network.[2] This season gives Australian Survivor the rare distinction of being one of the few Australian programs to have aired across all three commercial networks in Australia.

The season was filmed in Samoa from May to July 2016 and premiered on 21 August 2016 on Network Ten.[3] Hosted by Jonathan LaPaglia, the program featured 24 Australian castaways competing for 55 days for a grand prize of A$500,000.[4][5] After 55 days on the island, Kristie Bennett was named the "Sole Survivor" and awarded the grand prize over former professional cricketer Lee Carseldine by a jury vote of 8–1.

Production edit

Conception edit

After Australian Celebrity Survivor was not renewed by the Seven Network, a third season of Australian Survivor appeared unlikely. However, in August 2013, the creator of the Survivor format, Charlie Parsons revealed in an interview with fan website and podcast Survivor Oz that the rights to produce Australian Survivor had been licensed to an undisclosed production company. The company who believed that there was an appetite for the program and would be approaching Australian networks to commission the potential series.[6]

On 19 November 2015, Network Ten revealed at their upfronts that they would be commissioning a revival of Australian Survivor to air in mid-late 2016. They also announced that Endermol Shine Australia would be producing the series in association with Castaway Television.[7]

Twists edit

This season of Australian Survivor introduced several elements from international editions of Survivor, including: hidden immunity idols, small trinkets that, when played on a castaway after the votes were cast at Tribal Council but before they were read, negated all votes cast against them at that Tribal Council; the ability to prohibit another player from voting at a single Tribal Council, as offered during the season's Survivor Auction; and Exile Beach, where a small number of castaways were banished to a separate beach for a predetermined amount of time, and given minimal tools for survival.

Casting edit

With the announcement of the series in November 2015, a casting call was made for potential contestants. Applicants for the series were required to be 18 years of age or older, be Australian citizens or permanent residents and be able to swim.[8] More than 5,000 people applied within the first week of casting being opened,[9] and 7,500 had applied before the year's end.[10] Submissions eventually reached 15,000 before the 10 February deadline, making it the largest pool of applicants for a Network Ten reality program.[11][12]

Filming and development edit

The season was rumored to be filmed in Samoa as early as March,[13] and was officially confirmed on 9 May by LaPaglia in a radio interview on the Hamish & Andy show.[14] The season was filmed on the island of Upolu, the same location used in four seasons of the American edition of Survivor: Samoa, Heroes vs. Villains, South Pacific and One World. In total, 250 Australians and at least 180 Samoan locals worked on the program,[15] including Trent Pattison, who has previously worked as a challenge producer on the American edition as well as Ten's own I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!.[16]

Broadcast edit

Australian Survivor was initially scheduled to air twice a week, with new episodes airing on Sunday and Monday at 7:30pm.[17] However, following the first week, a third weekly episode — set to air Tuesdays at 7:30pm — was added to the schedule. The move was a means to both increase the exposure to the series to potential viewers and to increase the competitiveness of Ten's Tuesday schedule following low ratings for the previous programs airing in the 7:30pm slot, Modern Family and Life in Pieces.[18][19]

In addition to the main show, a 9-part companion program, titled The Jury Villa, was released online through tenplay. Based on the similar Ponderosa series from the American show, the web series follows the last nine castaways to be voted off as they become members of the Tribal Council Jury and interact with one another and discuss the game in the villa. Episodes began airing after episode 17 and were uploaded following the airing of subsequent episodes.[20][21]

Promotion edit

The primary sponsorships for the season include Hungry Jack's, AHM Health Insurance and Holden.[22]

The 24 castaways were initially divided into three tribes of eight, each named after a beach in Samoa: Aganoa, Saanapu and Vavau.[23] On Day 12, two castaways each from Saanapu and Vavau swapped tribes as a result of a special joint Tribal Council in which the tribes unknowingly voted to switch a member of their tribe to the other; the switched castaways each brought a tribe member with them. After winning the reward challenge on Day 19, Saanapu earned the right to redistribute the 18 remaining castaways into two tribes of nine, and Aganoa was officially disbanded. For winning the immunity challenge on Day 29, Saanapu sent an observer to Vavau's Tribal Council where, instead of a vote, the observer was to "kidnap" one of the Vavau tribe members, bringing them back to Saanapu as an official member.

On Day 32, the 13 remaining castaways merged into the Fia Fia tribe, named after the Samoan term for "celebration". The final 11 players comprised the two finalists and the nine members of the jury, who voted to decide which of the two finalists should be the "Sole Survivor" and be awarded the grand prize.[24]

Outside of Survivor, Brooke Jowett has competed on The Challenge: Australia in 2022.[27] Matt Tarrant competed on the tenth season of Australia's Got Talent in 2022.[28]

Season summary edit

The game began with three tribes of eight, and in each, a majority alliance was formed. On Saanapu, Flick and Brooke recruited Sam, Matt, and Conner. On Vavau, Craig, Andrew, Sue, and Jennah-Louise joined forces. And on Aganoa, Evan aligned with Phoebe, Rohan, Lee, and El, but drama from the idol clue twist between him and Rohan would see the alliance turn on Evan. On Day 12, a Fake Double Tribal Council consisting of Vavau and Saanapu occurred; Conner and Nick were voted out, but instead of leaving the game, were switched to the other tribe and they brought Sam and Tegan with them respectively.

On Day 19, with 18 contestants remaining, a Reward Challenge won by Saanapu gave them the power to decide which tribe between Vavau and Saanapu to stay on. After the five remaining Saanapu remembers chose to stay at Saanapu, they then had the power to choose their remaining members. They selected Sam, El, and Lee for their challenge strength as well as Jennah-Louise with the intention of voting her off. The game became one-sided after the swap, as not only did the stronger Saanapu tribe dominate in challenges but Phoebe's idol plays ousted the two strongest members of Vavau in Rohan and Craig. After a fake Tribal Council spared Kristie, Phoebe's ally whom she threw under the bus to save herself, Brooke further decimated Vavau by adding Sue to her tribe. Phoebe would be voted out at the next Tribal, and the tribes would merge at 13.

The Saanapu alliance, with the original members of Flick, Brooke, Matt, and Sam at the core and with the help of members from post-swap Saanapu, would vote out the remnants of post-swap Vavau as well as outsiders from Saanapu up until the final 7. At that point, Flick viewed Brooke as too big of a threat and flipped to Lee, El, and Kristie to vote out her best friend. Despite El and Lee's obvious strong bond, Flick and Kristie did not flip back and voted out Sam and Matt. At that point Flick tried to force a 2-2 tiebreaker but Kristie still would not flip and Flick would go home. Despite not having won a previous individual challenge, Kristie won the Final Immunity Challenge and voted El out. At Final Tribal Council, despite Lee having more control of the game, Kristie's underdog status and the fruition of her floater strategy resulted in her receiving 8 of the 9 jury votes and becoming the "Sole Survivor".

Notes

  1. ^ a b c Combined reward and immunity challenge.
  2. ^ Instead of voting out players, the two losing tribes unknowingly voted to send a member to the other tribe, who in turn brought another tribemate with them. Saanapu voted out Conner who brought Sam with him to Vavau; Vavau voted out Nick who brought Tegan with him to Saanapu
  3. ^ For winning this reward challenge, Saanapu won the power to re-distribute the remaining castaways into two tribes. Everyone on Saanapu elected to stay on the Saanapu tribe, while also choosing Jennah-Louise, Sam, El and Lee to join them. Everyone else formed the new Vavau tribe. The Aganoa tribe was Diseolved.
  4. ^ Vavau was told that they would not be voting at Tribal Council but instead Brooke, the chosen observer from Saanapu, was told to kidnap one member of Vavau and bring them to Saanapu. She choose Sue.
  5. ^ Kristie did not participate in the challenge after not being chosen for a team, but she had correctly guessed the winning team and, as a result, joined them on the reward.
  6. ^ El and Kristie won reward but chose to give up their reward to Flick and Matt, respectively.
  7. ^ Sue did not participate in the challenge after she drew the white rock but she correctly guessed the winning team and, as a result, joined them on the reward.
  8. ^ a b c Two separate reward challenges were held in this episode, with the winners of both challenges jointly selecting a third castaway to enjoy the reward with them; Matt and Flick chose to share their reward with Kristie.

Notes

  1. ^ On Day 12, a double Tribal Council was held where both tribes unknowingly voted for a castaway to be swapped to the other tribe.
  2. ^ On Day 29, instead of Vavau voting out a castaway, Brooke - as representative for Saanapu tribe - chose a Vavau member to kidnap — bringing them over to Saanapu. Sue was 'kidnapped' by Brooke and become part of Saanapu.
  3. ^ a b Instead of being eliminated from the game, Nick and Conner switched tribes, and each were instructed to bring another tribemate with them. Nick and Tegan were switched to Saanapu, while Conner and Sam were switched to Vavau.
  4. ^ a b c The first Tribal Council vote resulted in a tie. Per the rules, a second vote was held where the castaways involved in the tie would not vote and the remaining castaways could only vote for those who tied.
  5. ^ a b After two rounds of voting, Tribal Council remained tied. Per the rules, the non-tied castaways were to come to a consensus as to who to vote out of the tribe between the tied castaways, Conner and Flick, or else one of the deliberating castaways would be voted out of the tribe by random draw; they chose to vote Conner out of the tribe.
  6. ^ No vote; Peter chose to quit the game. This cancelled Aganoa's planned vote-off.
  7. ^ Kylie played a hidden immunity idol, therefore two votes against her were negated.
  8. ^ Phoebe played a hidden immunity idol, therefore five votes against her were negated.
  9. ^ Phoebe played a hidden immunity idol, therefore four votes against her were negated.
  10. ^ a b Conner and Flick were not eligible to vote in the second Tribal Council vote.
  11. ^ a b Nick and Tegan were not eligible to vote in the second Tribal Council vote.
  12. ^ Nick played a hidden immunity idol, therefore four votes against him were negated.
  13. ^ a b El and Lee were not eligible to vote as the only eligible players they could vote for were each other and hence their votes would cancel each other's out.
  14. ^ a b Matt was not eligible to vote in the second Tribal Council vote, while Sam was already not eligible to vote as a result of the Vote Block Power.
  15. ^ Sam was not eligible to vote at Tribal Council vote, as Lee used his vote block power on him.

Season 3

The fourth season of Australian Survivor is a television series based on the international reality game show franchise Survivor. It is the second season to air on the Network Ten, following the network acquiring the broadcast rights to the Australian Survivor franchise in late 2015. Jonathan LaPaglia returned to host the series for his second season.

The season premiered on 30 July 2017.[1] Like the previous season, the program was filmed on the Samoan island of Upolu and featured 24 Australian castaways competing for 55 days in the Samoan jungle for a grand prize of A$500,000. On 10 October 2017, Jericho Malabonga was revealed to be the winner over Tara Pitt by a vote of 6–3.

Production edit

Casting edit

The series was renewed on 23 October 2016. Upon the announcement of renewal, a casting call was made for potential contestants for the new season.[2] Over 20,000 people applied for the new season.[3]

Twists edit

This season featured multiple game-play twists for the first time in the series. This season introduced the super-idol which had the power to nullify the use of any other idol at one tribal council (not to be confused with the post-vote negating idol seen first in the American format's Panama season). This season also introduced several 'moral dilemmas' into the game which forced contestants to choose between two luxuries; one that benefits the entire tribe and one that only benefits the finder.

This season also saw the return of non-elimination episodes from season 3, the first of which saw a double tribal council where two contestants were sequentially voted out and sent to the opposing tribe. The following day, two contestants of the other tribe were then required to volunteer to switch to the tribe to replace them. The second non-elimination episode saw the contestants of one tribe vote for one of their members to receive a reward. The third featured a Tribal Council mutiny and the fourth featured a juror elimination.

This season also introduced a variety of twists previously seen on the American format including the initial marooning, the hiding of an immunity idol at challenges (first seen in Cambodia), tribal mutiny (first seen in Thailand) and jury member elimination (as seen in Kaôh Rōng).

Season summary edit

The 24 contestants were split into two tribes. On Asaga, Luke and his closest ally Jericho were in the minority and unsuccessfully attempted to upset the balance of power in the tribe. On Samatau, A.K. was on the bottom due to his aggressive strategizing, but he was able to seize control by eliminating Aimee, the closest ally of the tribe's prominent strategist in Locky. Outsiders Tara and Annaliese were sent to Asaga in a fake double elimination, with Ben and Henry taking their place. Luke and Jericho used the opportunity to take control of Asaga, while Samatau went on an immunity run. A second tribe swap sent A.K. & Peter to Asaga and Annaliese & Michelle to Samatau; later, a mutiny twist was offered, and Peter was the only one to accept, sending him back to Samatau.

The merge left Samatau in a 6-5 majority, but the Asaga members convinced the people on the bottom of Samatau to turn against Jarrad and Annaliese, eliminating them both. A new majority composed of Tessa, Michelle, Luke, Peter, Sarah, and Jericho blindsided Henry before Luke caught wind of a plan against Jericho, prompting him to make a move against Tessa. Tara then decided to betray her closest ally Locky due to his status as a threat, but he went on an immunity run that eventually ended with his elimination.

At the Final 4, Jericho won an advantage to remove a member of the jury. He chose Tessa, believing her to be the least likely to vote for him to win, despite her saying that she viewed Tara as the weakest player. Peter was the next intended target, but after he won immunity, he lobbied for Jericho’s elimination. This was foiled after Jericho uncovered the plan and Tara, paranoid after Tessa’s statements, decided to make a big move and force a fire-making challenge between Jericho and Michelle. Jericho ended up winning, and thus Michelle was eliminated. Jericho then won the final immunity challenge and decided to stay true to his new alliance with Tara, voting out Peter.

At the Final Tribal Council, Tara was commended for her strong social game, playing from a minority position and her orchestration of Locky and A.K’s elimination, but chastised for riding Locky’s coattails for far too long, not making enough strategic decisions, and being weak in challenges. Meanwhile, Jericho was congratulated for his very effective method of making alliances and using shields, playing under-the-radar, and winning challenges when he needed to. However he was criticized for his cruelty and hypocrisy, claiming to be a benevolent religious person despite unnecessarily being nasty to Jarrad and Sarah when they were eliminated, riding on Luke’s coattails, and making bad decisions such as removing Tessa from the jury and taking Tara to the end, despite Tessa saying she would be very unlikely to vote for Tara to win. However, Jericho’s strong strategic and physical game was rewarded over Tara’s underdog status, and he was awarded the title of Sole Survivor with six jury votes to Tara’s three.

Notes
  1. ^ On Day 50, for winning a special reward challenge, Jericho earned the power to eliminate one of the first 8 jury members. He chose Tessa.
  2. ^ This challenge was a two-on-two challenge, with Jacqui and Mark W. chosen to represent Asaga, and Adam & Mark H. chosen to represent Samatau. Jacqui and Mark W. won the challenge, earning reward for their entire tribe.
  3. ^ Instead of voting out players, Samatau unknowingly voted for two tribe members to be swapped to Asaga. Tara and Anneliese were voted out and we’re exiled for the night before joining Asaga on Day 21.
  4. ^ No reward challenge was held due to the second part of the tribal swap. Following Tara and Anneliese's swap to Asaga, Asaga was tasked with choosing two of their own tribe members to take Tara and Anneliese's spot on Samatau. They chose Ben and Henry.
  5. ^ a b c For winning the reward challenge, Samatau went to a special Tribal Council to vote for a player for a chance to win the "ultimate reward"; they chose Ziggy. Ziggy earned a chance to search for a "super idol," which she found.
  6. ^ Instead of voting out a member of the tribe, Asaga were offered a chance to mutiny and join Samatau. Only one castaway could mutiny. Peter chose to mutiny.
  7. ^ Samatau were told to invite two castaways from Asaga on their reward, they chose Peter and Sarah.
  8. ^ After winning, Jonathan offered Tessa to give up her meal in exchange for everyone getting letters from home. She accepted the offer.
  9. ^ a b c On Day 50, for winning a special reward challenge, Jericho earned the power to eliminate one of the first 8 jury members. He chose Tessa.

Notes

  1. ^ On Day 20, after voting out one castaway at Tribal Council, Samatau was instructed to immediately vote out another tribe member. Unbeknownst to them, both voted out castaways would be temporarily exiled before joining Asaga. Since no one was eliminated this episode, the contestant's votes were not aired in the closing credits. In exit interviews that have occurred since the airing of this episode, it has been revealed that many details about whom contestants voted for were omitted from the episode due to time constraints.[15] Specifically, the fact that the second vote-off originally resulted in a tie was not even alluded to
  2. ^ On Day 26, the winning tribe attended Tribal Council, voting to give one member of their tribe the power to find the "Ultimate Reward". Samatau won the right, and Ziggy was selected for the reward.
  3. ^ On Day 32, instead of voting out someone at Tribal Council. Asaga was given the offer to mutiny from their tribe and become a member of Samatau. Only the first person to accept the offer would be allowed to mutiny. Peter decided to leave Asaga, becoming a full member of Samatau.
  4. ^ a b c d The Tribal Council vote resulted in a tie. Per the rules, a second vote was held where the castaways involved in the tie would not vote and the remaining castaways could only vote for those who tied.
  5. ^ a b Instead of being eliminated from the game, Tara and Anneliese were switched to Asaga. As a result of this twist, Asaga had to choose two tribemates to swap to Samatau. They chose Ben & Henry.
  6. ^ Tessa played a hidden immunity idol, therefore six votes against her were negated.
  7. ^ a b c d e f g h i j This contestant was only able to vote for one other contestant, thus they were not eligible to vote.
  8. ^ On Day 50, for winning the special reward challenge, Jericho earned the power to eliminate one of the first eight jurors. He chose Tessa.
  9. ^ The second Tribal Council vote also resulted in a tie. As there were only four castaways remaining, the two tied castaways would compete in a fire making challenge to resolve the tie.
  10. ^ Anneliese played a hidden immunity idol on herself, but Ziggy played an idol nullifier on her, therefore the effects of her idol were negated and the eight votes against her were still counted.
  11. ^ a b Michelle lost to Jericho in the fire-making tiebreaker.
  12. ^ On Day 50, for winning the special reward challenge, Jericho earned the power to eliminate one of the first eight jurors. He chose Tessa.

Season 4

Australian Survivor: Champions vs. Contenders is the fifth season of Australian Survivor and the third season to air on Network Ten. It was hosted by Jonathan LaPaglia and filmed in the Fijian community of Savusavu.

The television series is based on the international reality game show franchise Survivor. This season featured 24 contestants divided into two tribes: "Champions", composed of twelve high-achievers who excelled in their fields, and "Contenders", composed of twelve everyday Australians. The season premiered on 1 August 2018,[1] and concluded on 9 October 2018, where Shane Gould was named the winner over Sharn Coombes in a 5–4 vote, winning the grand prize of A$500,000 and title of Sole Survivor.

Contestants edit

The 24 contestants were divided into two tribes based on celebrity status: "Champions," composed of 12 people who have received accolades and fame for their exceptional work in their given fields, and "Contenders," composed of 12 non-celebrities. Among the Champions were Russell Hantz, a three-time contestant on the American Survivor series (having competed on seasons 19, 20 and 22; the American host broadcaster, CBS, acquired Network Ten in 2017), The Biggest Loser trainer Steve "Commando" Willis, and Olympic gold medalists Lydia Lassila and Shane Gould. The Contenders included Benji Wilson, brother of Australian Survivor season 4 contestant Anneliese Wilson, and Zach Kozyrski, who appeared as a Gladiator in the 2008 revival of Gladiators.

  1. ^ On Days 18 and 20, the losing tribes voted to send a tribemate to Exile Beach; after the two Tribal Councils, the two exiled castaways dueled, with the winner returning to their tribe and the loser being permanently eliminated. Tegan and Anita were exiled, and Tegan defeated Anita in the duel.
  2. ^ After the vote, the Contenders were given an opportunity to save Tegan and absorb her into their tribe, or let the Champions' decision stand. A majority of the Contenders decided to send Tegan home.

Future appearances edit

Moana Hope, Zach Kozyrski, Lydia Lassila, Mat Rogers, Shonee Fairfax, Sharn Coombes and Shane Gould competed in Australian Survivor: All Stars.[2] In 2023, Fairfax now using her husband's surname of Bowtell, Jackie Glazier and Steve Khouw competed as villains in Australian Survivor: Heroes V Villains.

Season summary edit

The 24 contestants were divided into two tribes. The Contenders, representing everyday Australians, faced off against the Champions, high achievers in their respective fields. Brian, Jackie, Monika, and Shane were initially outsiders at the Champions tribe. Meanwhile, at the Contenders tribe, Benji took strategic control of the tribe, and three pairs emerged: Benji & Robbie, Fenella & Shonee, and Heath & Tegan (the latter of whom re-entered the game from Exile Beach after getting blindsided by Benji). The Champions dominated challenges until a tribe swap sent Shonee and Tegan to the Champions and Lydia, Monika, & Sharn to the Contenders. Benji and Robbie worked with their new Champions tribemates, while the Contenders on the new Champions tribe tried, but failed, to infiltrate the majority.

The merge occurred with 12 players left; though most of the Champions wanted to pick off the rest of the Contenders, Mat and Shane were threatened by Lydia's challenge prowess and blindsided her before Robbie was eliminated. Having lost his closest ally, Benji overthrew the majority to blindside Mat before his own elimination followed. The pairs of Brian & Monika and Fenella & Shonee realigned against Sharn; she played an idol, and Brian's paranoia led to him deviating from their alliance's split-vote plan in order to vote out Fenella. Shonee sought revenge by eliminating Brian's own closest ally Monika, but Brian's victory in the final four immunity challenge led to Shane and Sharn voting out Shonee. Sharn then voted Brian out after winning final immunity, staying true to her final two deal with Shane.

Despite being the more strategically and physically dominant of the two, Sharn was criticized for being unlikeable and preaching loyalty despite playing both sides and failing to save her closest ally Mat. Shane, however, despite being less aggressive, was commended for her grace, likeability, underdog status and work ethic despite her advanced age. She won the votes from the female jurors Fenella, Monika and Shonee, plus Mat and Brian to narrowly win the title of Sole Survivor.

Notes

  1. ^ Each tribe earned items for their survival; while there was no designated winner, both teams earned the same amount of items.
  2. ^ a b At the end of the Reward Challenge, the Contenders were given the option to pick two members from the Champions tribe to compete for a special breakfast reward. They chose Steve W. and Mat which Mat won. Mat was then tasked to choose someone from the Contenders tribe to join him on the reward. He chose Paige.
  3. ^ a b c On Days 18 and 20, the losing tribes voted to Exile a tribemate. After two Tribal Councils, the two exiled castaways competed in a duel, with the winner returning to their tribe and the loser being permanently eliminated. Tegan and Anita were exiled, and Tegan defeated Anita in the duel.
  4. ^ No Reward Challenge, due to Exile Duel.
  5. ^ No Reward Challenge, due to tribe swap.
  6. ^ On Day 28, the person voted out of their tribe would have the opportunity to be saved by the other tribe instead of going home. Following the reveal of the vote, the other tribe would also vote, voting to Save the person voted off and have them join their tribe or to Send him/her home. Tegan was voted out of the Champions tribe and the Contenders voted Send, officially eliminating Tegan from the game.
  7. ^ Instead of voting out a castaway, Koro Savu voted for a tribe members to be a "Dead Man Walking". Making them unable to vote at the next two tribal councils. Steve W. was voted to be the Dead Man Walking. Additionally, Steve W. was Exiled between the Reward Challenge on Day 41 and the Immunity Challenge on Day 42.

Season summary edit

The sequel to last season's theme, 24 contestants were divided into two tribes . 12 Contenders, representing everyday Australians, faced off against the 12 Champions, high achievers in their respective fields. Joining the Champions was Luke from Australian Survivor 2017 as the People's Champion. Despite having a returning player in their tribe, the Champions struggled in challenges with an initial Sporty Seven leading the tribe, until David, Janine, Luke, and Pia managed to get the alliance to turn on themselves. Meanwhile, the Contenders were a united front with Shaun, a former AFL player, and Daisy as a power duo, with Andy and Harry floating in the middle.

Down 11 to 7, the Champions' new alliance were split apart in a tribe swap that left allies David and Luke stranded in a Champions tribe with 7 original Contenders. However, with clever idol plays, and the Contenders working to break up Andy's social game with the women, the duo managed to survive even after a surprise kidnap vote which saw Shaun being stolen from the Contenders by the new Champions tribe. With the physical power shifting to the new Champions, Harry and Janine led opposing alliances which saw Harry's remaining allies picked off one by one while he saved himself with idols. Before the merge arrived, the two made a truce to blindside the last of the remaining Sporty Seven Champions in Simon, but an injury at the last tribal immunity challenge by Ross saw Tribal Council cancelled for the Contenders.

Ross's evacuation saw the Champions and Contenders on equal level entering the merge, but the Contenders lost their numbers when the merged tribe, Soli Bula, unanimously decided to take out Andy as an untrustworthy player, with Shaun following due to his status as a physical threat. The women in the Champions' alliance gathered the Contenders and Simon to blindside David and Luke, but a key immunity win by Luke saw the supermodel be sent to the jury instead of him. As the Contenders' numbers shrunk, Luke and Abbey started to stray from the Champions and aligned with the last two Contenders, Harry and Baden, to vote Simon to Exile Beach to defeat the last remaining Contender woman, Daisy. After Simon's return and subsequent permanent elimination, the new alliance turned on a perceived strategic powerhouse in Janine. With the bigger challenge threats eliminated, Luke began an immunity streak which also saw him finding an Send Back advantage, which allowed him to pick any player to send back to camp during Tribal before the vote. He used the advantage to send Baden back to camp in order to turn on Abbey over his closer ally, Pia. However, Luke's immunity run ended at the final four with the two Contenders and Pia sending him to the jury. With an Australian Survivor record-breaking final immunity challenge lasting over 6 hours and 40 minutes, Baden surprised the jury with an immunity win and sent the wily Harry to the jury instead of Pia.

The final two, Baden and Pia, were both criticized for their subtle social game by the jury. However, Pia managed to point out her contributions to the numerous decisions made by the Champions' alliance post swap and kidnapping until the merge, which saw louder power players systematically voted out. Baden struggled to assert his agency in his game, rather than the game being played past him. With a unanimous decision of 9 votes by the jury, Pia's social and strategic game was awarded at the end of the final Tribal Council in Fiji with the grand prize and the title of Sole Survivor.

Challenge winners and eliminations by episode
In the case of multiple tribes or castaways who win reward or immunity, they are listed in order of finish, or alphabetically where it was a team effort; where one castaway won and invited others, the invitees are in brackets.
Notes

  1. ^ The Champions were told to invite a castaway from the Contenders on their reward; they chose John.
  2. ^ The Champions were told to invite a castaway from the Contenders on their reward; they chose Baden. Baden was then told to bring another Contender on reward; he chose Shaun.
  3. ^ No Reward Challenge, due to Tribe Swap.
  4. ^ Instead of the Contenders tribe voting out a castaway, the Champions tribe voted for a Contender to kidnap — bringing them over to their tribe. Shaun was 'stolen' by the Champions tribe and become part of their tribe.
  5. ^ The Champions were told to invite a castaway from the Contenders on their reward; they chose Harry.
  6. ^ Ross was evacuated due to a broken ankle sustained during the Immunity Challenge. The Immunity Challenge continued while Ross’ injuries could be diagnosed by the medical team. Later in the day, both tribes were informed of Ross’ injuries and that he was not deemed fit to continue. Because of Ross’ evacuation, the planned Contenders’ Tribal Council was canceled.
  7. ^ In place of a reward challenge, a Dilemma occurred. Simon (as elected by the tribe) was given a pizza with 10 slices of varying sizes and had to assign the slices to everyone in the tribe - this dilemma went unaired in the episode, but was available as an extra on 10play.[10]
  8. ^ The Challenge was contested in pairs. Harry did not have a partner and therefore did not compete. As Harry had correctly guessed the winning team, he joined them on the reward.
  9. ^ a b c On Days 38 and 40, the Soli Bula tribe voted to exile a tribemate. On Day 41 the two exiled castaways competed in a duel, with the winner returning to the tribe and the loser being officially eliminated form the game. Daisy and Simon were exiled. Simon won the duel, officially eliminating Daisy.
  10. ^ No Reward Challenge, due to Exile Duel.
  11. ^ No Reward Challenge was held. Instead, the Final 4 participated in a questionnaire activity, which resulted in Luke and Baden receiving Burgers.

Notes

  1. ^ On Day 18, both Mokuta and Vakama attended Tribal Council to vote out a castaway. The 7th and 8th castaways voted out would compete against each other in a fire-making duel. The winner returned to their tribe and remained in the game, while the loser was eliminated. Lydia and Phoebe were voted out. Phoebe won the duel and returned to Mokuta, eliminating Lydia.
  2. ^ Lee withdrew from the game due to a family emergency. He did not serve as a member of the jury.
  3. ^ After being Exiled and losing two Exile challenges to re-enter the game, Zach was voted out over A.K. and Shonee in the Exiled Tribal Council.
  4. ^ On Day 44, after the players cast their votes, Jonathan offered the Final 6 players to not reveal the votes, should a player accept a "Trial By Fire" to stay in the game - failing the trial would eliminate the participating player. Upon accepting the trial, the other 5 players had to unanimously choose a challenger for the player participating in the "Trial By Fire" - who would not be at risk of elimination. AK accepted the offer, and the tribe chose Moana as his challenger. AK lost his trial and was eliminated.

Season summary edit

24 All Stars from the previous four seasons were divided into two tribes, Mokuta and Vakama. Immediately, returning winners Shane and Jericho were picked off as they were major threats to the other contestants, leaving power players Henry and Mat on the back foot in Mokuta and Vakama with a clue for the same idol. Henry got it first. On Vakama, two groups formed spearheaded by David and Mat respectively, but David approached Mat to blindside his own alliance and to take revenge on Daisy for her blindside of him in their previous season. Henry gave Mat the idol, which got Daisy out. Mokuta struggled in challenges with the athletic players taking control to eliminate the more social players.

After a tribe swap, the new Vakama saw the majority alliance lose David and Phoebe, but utilized a scorned Shonee to take out the athletic alliance (Abbey, Lydia, and John) and the original minority leader, Mat. Meanwhile, the new Mokuta tribe managed to keep intact for a while, except when Phoebe didn't vote with David, and he and Moana chose to blindside Phoebe. Meanwhile, David found an immunity idol in a tree, and then got another one by stealing Phoebe's clue which led him to find it in a termite mound. Closer to the merge, a shrinking Vakama saw Brooke enact her revenge on Flick as payback for their first season, and Harry finding a Halting advantage which allowed him to halt any of the last two pre-merge tribal councils before the votes are read; he never exercised his advantage, sacrificing Nick.

At the merge, the new Mokuta alliance rallied together to take out the surviving Vakama members. Despite enjoying early success by eliminating physical and social threats, fractures formed in the Mokuta alliance when it was announced six players would compete against one another to remain in the game. Zach was betrayed by Jacqui who opted to flip on the alliance, though she was voted off for her actions shortly thereafter. After losing her Vakama allies, Brooke went on an immunity run to force the majority to cannibalize each other but fell short at the final four. David won the final immunity challenge and sent Moana to the jury in fear of her strategic game, over the ruthless double agent Sharn.

At the final Tribal Council, Sharn was criticized for her lying and baiting the Vakama minority for too long, and questioning her jury management compared to her first season. David had been painted as controlling and domineering throughout the entire season. Highlighting his charismatic social game at the original Vakama, including possessing two idols at the same time, and protecting his Mokuta allies where he could, David managed to convince the jury that his social and strategic dominant game was stronger than Sharn's, awarding him the title of Sole Survivor in an 8–1 vote.
