Australian Survivor: Articles

In post show interviews everyone loved El and she would have won. It's such a shame she was so invisible even though she made it to the last 3 standing.

Flick said on apodcast she was closer to El than Brooke and I swear I never saw that anywhere.

I guess it's possible, but nice people don't necessarily make good tv.
It's so hard to judge, as she barely said a thing, and probably had the least confessionals? The majority of what we did see didn't give a positive impression, just a lot of lurking with her alliance, clinging to Lee and quite a bit of resting bitch face towards anyone who was not part of the clique.
 
In their minds, in an imaginary final two of El, they may have thought of course El! Just as before coming into the final tribal most of them thought they'd be voting for Lee. But I very much doubt El could have countered anything Kristie said at the final tribal. She would have done a bit better than Lee, possibly, in making her case. I don't think, in real life, she would have won.
 
I listen to the podcast with flick and she barely mentioned Kristie's name until the very end she said nothing about what Christy was doing. I thought that was strange as Christie was the winner.
 
It's Bachelor girls gone wild! Reality TV stars Megan Marx, Zilda Williams and Noni Janur spill out on the dancefloor as drinks flow at Maxim Hot 100 party... and the dating show lovebirds get VERY flirty indeed

The red carpet arrivals at Maxim's Hot 100 event saw Australia's reality TV royalty on their best behaviour.

But as the lads' mag party continued into the night, things quickly descended into debauchery as the celebrity guests let their hair down for a night of wild fun.

Models, TV stars and party girls kicked back over free-flowing drinks as the rowdy bunch spilled across the dance floor at The Star, Sydney for a night to remember.

Cutting loose! Reality stars, glamour models and media personalities kicked back over free-flowing drinks as the they spilled across the dance floor for a night to remember at the Maxim Hot 100 party at The Star, Sydney on Friday night

Amid the jubilant throng was The Bachelor stars Megan Marx, Tiffany Scanlon, Kirralee 'Kiki' Morris, Noni Janur and Zilda Williams - all of whom made sure to put on busty displays in plunging ensembles.


Also in attendance was Australian Survivor's Kristie Bennett, Jennah-Louise Salkeld, Phoebe Timmins, Brooke Jowett and Felicity 'Flick' Eggington.

At one stage, Kiki and and Tiffany were spotted getting particularly cosy while appearing to lean in for a kiss - but it appears they may have simply been laughing.

Just wanted to post:
There have been a number of podcasts with Australian Survivors on Australian Survivor Community. The most recent is Craig. They will be doing more but they've had Brooke , Flick and Phoebe as well.

The very odd aspect to me is that they hardly mention Kristie at all. Craig even played with her and barely mentioned her.
 
Shelley Craft, Grant Denyer or Jamie Durie would thoroughly demolish this from the get go. Alongside being irritating identities, Shelley and Grant are too bubbly and do not have the gravitas required for Survivor.

TEN has revealed all 24 contestants in Season 2 of Australian Survivor.

Ranging in age from 20 to 51 they will spend up to 55 days competing in Samoa for a $500,000 prize.

TEN Head of Entertainment and Factual Programming, Stephen Tate, said: “More than 20,000 Australians applied to be part of this spectacular series. This year Australian Survivor will offer an exceptionally intriguing cast and even more drama. The contestants are more knowing and they are playing the game much harder.”

Jonathan LaPaglia returns as host. TEN is yet to announce an airdate.

Aaron ‘A.K.’, 29, Wedding DJ, South Australia
Full-time wedding DJ and self-confessed reality television addict, Aaron is ready to take on Australian Survivor. A mad sports fan, Aaron will play to win and knows that sitting around idly is not the way to get ahead in the game. Previously a fence installer, he thinks his experience working in the heat and lifting heavy objects will prepare him well for island life. He wants to make his parents and his partner, Bec, proud. His biggest fear is coming second.


Adam, 40, International Poker Player, Queensland
As an international poker player, award-winning salesman and ex-SES volunteer, Adam is a force to with which be reckoned. At over 198 centimetres tall, Adam plans to dominate the game and become a player to remember. As an SES volunteer, Adam has helped with search and rescue operations and that puts him in good stead for the rugged way of life on Australian Survivor. He is also a husband and father-of-two with a strategic mind and the ability to read people and situations. His poker success saw him play in the World Series in Las Vegas last year.


Aimee, 23, Plumber, Victoria
A woman who loves to push herself out of her comfort zone, Aimee is not one to shy away from an adventure. She studied to be a beautician for two years until she realised she could not paint nails and decided to become a plumber. She spends most of her time camping, hiking and riding bikes. Last year she walked over 500 kilometres by herself from Melbourne to Canberra. While she may not have a solid game plan for Australian Survivor, Aimee is looking forward to changing people’s expectations of her.


Anneliese, 23, Student, Victoria
Obsessed and strategic, Anneliese is a super-fan of Survivor who lists Jeff Probst as her celebrity crush. A journalism student in Melbourne, Anneliese is quite the academic. After winning a scholarship to an exclusive school, she knows that she can achieve anything to which she sets her mind. After recently losing 35 kilograms, Anneliese plans to fly under the radar and is ready to play the game as soon as she sets foot on the island.


Ben, 20, Fast Food Attendant, Western Australia
The youngest of this year’s contestants, Ben works as a fast food attendant and lives at home with his parents. Describing himself as odd, Ben is currently single and thinks his lack of flirting skills are to blame. A unique character with distinctive blonde locks, Ben is a super-fan of the series and watched last year’s Australian Survivor with a keen eye. He is hoping to make it to the final merge and play the game as an individual.


Henry, 26, Labourer, South Australia
Henry’s game plan is to deceive his peers by playing the role of a laid-back yoga instructor. Little do they know he is actually a labourer and a small business owner with a degree in Marketing and Accounting. Henry works in the building industry and owns an online food delivery business, which his late mother helped him establish. He recently put his life on hold to care for his mum as she battled pancreatic cancer and sadly passed away. He applied for Australian Survivor in honour of his mum, who told him to chase his dreams.


Jacqui, 50, Wedding Celebrant, NSW
A self-confessed straight-shooter, Jacqui is one of the oldest contestants on season two of Australian Survivor, but she is not going to let that get in her way. She has something to prove and wants to demonstrate to other women that life doesn’t end at 30. A lover of life and the odd glass of champagne, Jacqui is a wedding celebrant on the NSW North Coast. Married with two kids, she is super-fit and loves running, riding and surfing with her husband Gaz.


Jarrad, 29, Photographer, Western Australia
A renowned photographer, Jarrad loves a challenge and is not afraid to push himself to his limits. In fact, he loves it. The top of his class in high school, Jarrad went on to study law but quit soon after to follow his passion for photography. He now shoots campaigns for various tourism boards around the world and has worked with the likes of Ed Sheeran, Matt Corby and Kate Miller-Heidke. When it comes to the game of Survivor, Jarrad’s competitive nature will come out and he admits that other contestants might not know how to take him.

Jericho, 25, Flight Attendant, Victoria
From the Philippines to Auckland and now Melbourne, Jericho is used to being the new kid in town. But instead of letting his guard down quickly, on Australian Survivor he will be pretending to be someone else entirely. A mega-fan of Survivor, Jericho has his game plan mapped out and is not afraid to show his darker, more competitive side. After studying anthropology, Jericho followed his dream of becoming a flight attendant. Starting as a cabin cleaner and working his way up the ranks, he now works for a major airline, flying internationally.


Joan, 29, Escape Room Owner, NSW
If anyone knows how to handle tough situations, it is Joan. Pregnant at 16, she found herself temporarily homeless but she never gave up. Now a mum of three, Joan runs escape rooms with her partner Frank, designing and facilitating large-scale games and puzzles for groups of friends and colleagues. Joan is confident that her experience in life will help her play the world’s greatest game. A huge fan of the show, it has been her lifelong dream to be a contestant.


Kate, 47, Financial Executive, Victoria
Kate is a successful businesswoman who has lived all over the world, including Västervik in Sweden, Toronto, New York and now Melbourne. After recently resigning from a 17-year career with a global investment bank, where she managed and led teams of over 50 people, Kate is now looking for her next career opportunity and thought she would give Australian Survivor a crack in the meantime. Kate wants to be a role model for young women, especially her children, who helped her apply for the series.


Kent, 51, Chief Financial Officer, South Australia
A devoted father of three, Kent is no stranger to taking on new challenges and Australian Survivor is no different. At 39, Kent decided to take up swimming and competed in the world-famous Rottnest Island swim in Western Australia. At the age of 50, he swam the English Channel, which was a 13-hour non-stop swim. Working for the past 10 years as Chief Financial Officer at Parliament House in South Australia, Kent says he is good at reading people’s personalities.


Locky, 27, Adventure Guide, Western Australia
An experienced cave diver, base jumper, mountaineer and athlete, there is not a lot that scares Locky. At 195 centimetres tall, Locky is a physical threat and he will not be flying under the radar when it comes to being an asset to his team. He plans to provide for his tribe and give it his all in every challenge. Locky spends half the year in Perth as a roof plumber and the other half in Europe, where he is an adventure guide. Having spent a lot of time outdoors, Locky knew Australian Survivor was the right fit for him.


Luke, 30, Mining Technician, Western Australia
Luke may be a joker but he takes some things very seriously, including his family, his job and reality television. A drilling operator in a Western Australian mine, Luke has recently taken on a desk job to spend more time at home with his two sons and wife, Mary. After growing up with a difficult home life, Luke appreciates his family more than anything and wants to make them proud. He looks forward to having some fun in Samoa and is playing to win.


Mark H, 51, Lime Farmer, Queensland
Mark is a lime farmer from Queensland. A loving and generous family man, he is a hardworking farmer who is keen to give younger contestants a run for their money. A firm believer in doing the right thing, Mark knows that when it comes to Australian Survivor, his moral compass may be tested. Getting into the island vibe, Mark recently visited Vanuatu with his son, where they built a grass hut and ate coconuts for two days.


Mark W, 37, Former Special Ops Commander, Western Australia
Mark is an ex-SAS Troop Commander who has served in Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, East Timor and the Solomon Islands, and has recently launched his own fashion label. Currently living in New York, Mark has also completed an MBA and works as a business consultant. He thinks it will be his SAS skills that will help him most on Australian Survivor and he hopes to inspire other veterans to live a full life. Mark also loves cooking, travelling and surfing.


Michelle, 33, Nanny, NSW
Michelle is a woman who knows what she wants and is not afraid to tell people how she is going to get it. A professional nanny in Sydney, she loves going to the races, the beach and catching up with friends. While she admits she is not used to roughing it, Michelle is out to prove that she has what it takes to win. She will use whatever assets she needs to make connections and alliances. Her father passed away in 2008 and she wants to make him proud.


Odette, 32, Podiatrist, NSW
Single mum Odette is a podiatrist in Sydney who has had to push herself every day to be the hero she wants to be for her son. Growing up with an absent father, she was raised by her mother, who sadly passed away when she was 14. Following her mother’s death, Odette worked hard at school and attained a Master’s degree in Podiatric Medicine while attending university during the day, working nights and also looking after her son. Odette is here to play an honest and moral game.


Peter, 22, Digital Advertising Producer, NSW
Peter works in digital advertising and has a laugh that you can hear from a mile away. Describing his laugh as the sound of a dying walrus, Peter is a positive and enthusiastic person who cannot wait to get started on Australian Survivor. Peter gets along with everybody and plans to play a social game on the island.

Sam, 32, Endurance Athlete, Victoria
She stands just under 152 centimetres tall, but don not let Sam’s size fool you. She took up running in 2008 as a break from studying law and after just 16 weeks training, she completed the Melbourne marathon. Her next challenge? The 4 Deserts Grand Slam: four ultra-marathons across Chile, China, Sahara and Antarctica. She made history by becoming the first woman and the youngest person ever to complete the race, which is known as one of the toughest endurance events on the planet.


Sarah, 22, Model, Western Australia
Smart, mature and well-travelled, Sarah plans to make big moves during her time on the island. Being a contestant on Survivor has been a lifelong ambition for Sarah and she wants to win by playing the best game anyone has ever seen. She hopes to be underestimated by her tribe and is not afraid to lie.


Tara, 32, Barrel Racer, Queensland
Mum of three Tara is a barrel racer from Queensland. The job requires serious manoeuvring and concentration and is something she plans to keep a secret from her fellow contestants. Currently studying full-time for a Bachelor of Education majoring in Drama and History, Tara wants to prove that she is much more than just a stay-at-home mum.


Tessa, 29, Doctor, Victoria
Always underestimated by her work colleagues and patients because of her age and gender, Tessa is highly intelligent and ready to compete. Studying to become a doctor, Tessa worked under high-pressure conditions while attending lectures and studying to pass her physician’s exam. She is now one of the youngest doctors at her place of work. Her strategy is to form an all-girl alliance and to work her magic when their backs are turned. She is not afraid to lie, cheat and steal to win Australian Survivor.


Ziggy, 26, Former Olympian, NSW
A two-time Olympic athlete and two-time Olympic medallist, Ziggy (real name: Nicola) thinks she has what it takes to survive in Samoa. Ziggy represented Australia in water polo at the London and Rio Olympic Games. She has recently retired from the pool and is working as a radiologist in Sydney. The daughter of a triathlete, Ziggy has tried every sport under the sun and stays fit by running, surfing, yoga and lifting weights. A former lifesaver and iron-woman, Ziggy says her water polo experience will also help her strategise and play the game.

 
Can't wait. Cast sounds great, skewed a bit older, lots of high achieving professionals, and athletic women
 
Also too many bimbos on US Survivor, I liked that a lot about our version, we had more athletic women or geeks rather than show ponies with fake tits.
 
On a related note, Survivor New Zealand has wrapped up. I have not watched the finale yet but will do tonight.
 
Starts Sunday July 30 at 7:30 pm and this time there will be a live final and reunion show.

Returning: Australian Survivor
July 12th, 2017 By David Knox



TEN has confirmed the return of Australian Survivor and excitingly announced a Live finale and reunion in response to fan feedback.

It will launch at 7.30pm on Sunday 30 July, now shaping up as a big night of TV, given The Blockis also confirmed.

Jonathan LaPaglia returns as host with 24 contestants competing for a whopping $500,000 prize. The Live finale will include all 24 contestants returning for the winner announcement, in front of an audience.

“I wasn’t sure how we were going to top last year but I think we will. Everything is bigger and rougher and wilder than before. We have come up with some epic challenges to put our contestants through and there are some serious game players in here,” said LaPaglia.

“We have got a great bunch of contestants who represent a good cross-section of Australia and I think the audiences are going to love it even more than last time.

“There’s still that element of mateship and loyalty that’s such an important part of Australia’s social fabric that really gets the contestants struggling because of the nature of the show. And there’s a lot of fun seeing some of these big game players really go all out.

“Last year we had a tough group of competitors and it’s hard to beat such a huge series and especially that final Immunity Challenge seeing the underdog Kristie come through. It’s going to be a tough one to beat but I think we’re going to do it,” he said.

7:30pm Sunday 30 July on TEN.
