Arghhh, I knew I shouldn't have clicked on that spoiler! I thought i was up to date but obviously I'm one episode behind.

Edit: Did they show more than two episodes a week? Turns out I was two episodes behind

Locky or Ziggy nailed on to get the boot next, excellent season with great challenges, twists haven't been bad either.

Finale last night.

While it wasn't said explicity, I presume

Tara did a deal with Jericho to take the second to last immunity to fire so he would take her to the final

Between

Jericho

and

Tara

as the final two,

Jericho

seemed like the logical winner, although saying that I thought

Jericho almost threw it away with his first pitch to the jury and that may be why the final vote was close.

pooch90 · 11-10-2017 6:48pm

Am I one behind? The last one I saw was the one with

Michelle losing fire challenge

mel.b · 11-10-2017 6:51pm

I think you're two behind.

pooch90 · 13-10-2017 11:33pm

Caught up now

Bit disappointed with the winner

Well deserved all the same.

I quite like the 55 day format, more gruelling.

pooch90 · 14-10-2017 8:10pm

I really thought he let himself down at final tribal. From the faces of the jury, I was sure Tara had it. Enjoyed the reunion show a lot more than US version, probably because they swear! Just seemed to be more comradery there.

New season of Australian survivor started tonight...contenders vs champions. Champions coming from a range of backgrounds...Olympians, afl players, ex-army, astrophysicist etc and one Russell Hantz :eek:

I'll have to watch it now, gave up on previous attempts as it bored me to tears.

They'll probably just get rid of him in the first couple of eps though.

Fingers crossed! He claims to be the greatest survivor of all time yet has never won.... idiot :rolleyes:

Thargor · 01-08-2018 4:37pm

The guy was an ass but for pure entertainment / idol domination / competitor domination he'll always be remembered and I don't disagree when I see him on top 10 lists, he never won because he was playing against butthurt bitches not people who appreciate someone who plays the game to the limit.

God those first couple of seasons with him were Survivor in its prime, I used to be staring at the clock at work waiting to get home to it, last couple of seasons I just had them on in the background while browsing.

S.M.B. · 01-08-2018 7:37pm

Wasn't sure if people wanted to be spoiled on the presence of Hantz (have they announced it themselves yet or are they officially revealing it tonight?) but I guess a few might be a little more interested. I still plan on going back and watching last season as I've heard very good things. Where does it rank compared to recent US seasons?

It's crazy how still to this day some see Hantz as one of the Greatest of All Time yet others think he deservedly won nothing.

He definitely deserves being in the top 10 for sure but it's his personality and being a huge asshole that cost him the win. I just don't think he can claim to be the greatest when he has yet to win (and winning the million is ultimately the goal lol) Any of the cast I spoke to admitted to being hurt but also said he was a complete d1ck and didn't deserve the money.

Yup they have officially announced the cast. Wonder who will recognise him and will they admit it if they do (in front of others I mean)...

As an aside, did anyone watch Survivor NZ? Just wrapped up.

I saw the first 2 / 3 episodes but then just found it boring and gave up.

Resurrecting this thread because I have become a huge fan of Australian Survivor during lockdown. I'm working my way through the old seasons on Amazon Prime; it's my daily addiction. Anyways there's a new season starting on 31st Jan, Survivor: Blood Vs Water, with family members playing together and a few returning faces (Sam and Mark, Andy). Should be good.

Mr E · 01-02-2022 7:38pm

Season 9 of Australian Survivor just started. Bring it on. 🙂

Mr E · 12-02-2022 5:33pm

Anyone watching? I'm 5 in, and it's brilliant. Still better than the US version.

The whole blood vs. water dynamic is brilliant and gives this season a real heart.

pooch90 · 15-02-2022 11:48am

Really enjoying it. We are 5 episodes in. They need to get Sandra quick!

markw7 · 15-02-2022 3:03pm

Is this anything like classic Survivor (US) lads or is it full of the touchy feely crap its become in the last few years?

I haven't watched the latest US season and won't be either from the reivews I've read online.

Mr E · 15-02-2022 4:22pm

No, it has the production values of the US version (same style, same music etc.) but with harder challenges and much more scheming, backstabbing and blindsides (the stuff that actually makes Survivor fun).

pooch90 · 16-02-2022 4:55pm

I way prefer it to the US version, they pull less punches in the challenges and I prefer the cast they choose. The US one has the stereotypical ditsy useless women whereas Oz seems to go for strong women moreso that make the challenges worth watching. Also the Australians are just a bit more rugged in general.

It's much longer too so it means you get to know the contestants. I watched the post Covid 'woke' US season and couldn't tell you any of their names at all.

markw7 · 17-02-2022 12:28pm

Excellent stuff, cheers lads thats the next few weekends sorted!

stargazer 68 · 07-03-2022 8:34pm

I'm up to date so down to the final 10 now. Random - they have a razor or 2 in there. Women are definitely newly groomed :)

Love survivor Australia. Blood vs Water is a fantastic twist on the original game and i'm loving every episode.

Mr E · 21-03-2022 9:37am

Caught up over the weekend. Up to date now.

It's a brilliant season. The double idol/stolen idol made great TV. 🙂
