Q&A
I don’t watch Australian survivor but I did eat at Outback Steakhouse once so I guess I’m ready to dominate
If you go on i will watch!
Would you grow your hair back out if the stars align and you happen to be cast again?
I will wait and see if it grows
Will you give the Blooming Onion™ Immunity necklace away?
Just kidding, love you Eric, would love to see you come back.
If it is not crispy enough, yes
Erik "I want to give individual immunity to Natalie" Reichenbach confirms he is on the next season of AUS Survivor?!? (real) (not clickbait) 🤯🤯🤯🔥🔥🔥
But did you eat the bourbon burger at Applebee’s?
They said some guy with a skirt ordered all their burgers already and to try the salad
Was it a skirt or a backwards hoodie?
Hard to say.
You're missing out. The challenges are much more intense and the players are a lot more snaky. The twists are extremely cooked (and frequent) and sometimes overpowered, though.

Australian Survivor >>>>> American Survivor recently
Although I'm loving this current American season.
You would love it! Start with 2016, the second season (2017 ) is generally considered a top 5 season compared with US and the most recent season is just about as good
The Aussies are not ready for you.
It is Australian Applebees
Excited to see who Australia picks as American representatives.
Zane
Chet
Colton
Francesca
Dan Foley
NaOnka
please naonka omg
Chicken
Brandon Hantz
Dan Spilo
Jelinsky
What the hell did my boy Chicken do to deserve being name dropped alongside Brandon and Spilo??
DAMN
Get him on the chaos tribe. When they're in need of some sense, he can shrug his shoulders and say "Don't know..."
Several.
NaOnka and J’Tia at the same tribe would be amazing

Australians Best don't know what they are in for with this mighty line up
Australia might as well give up then
I would kill for a classic australian team challenge with Chet
Hoping for Rupert
Rupert won't do it. Haven't heard if he is 100% cancer free and even if he did he probably wouldn't do Survivor as the stress on the system would be too much at his age.
He did an interview for local news a couple years ago where he said he was in full remission. He also said he wants to play again
That's actually great to hear. Will his wife let him play lol? I would love to see him come back and play again.
He said on an insta post a few days back he wants to go and play again
I'll always remember that he was included in a fake Aus vs Usa rumour back in 2018
Seemed like a stretch even then
E: This was the one, we get so many bullshit casting rumours
Keep hope alive

I hope they bring in a lot of big names from American Survivor but don't skimp on the exceptional Aussie players.
I wonder if this is going to be another George season. Wouldn't mind Kirby getting a second chance right away. Or they bring back Genat so he can get kicked out day one cause no one wants to compete with that.
david genat almost certainly getting an inv since he was cast on hvv but had to drop and has said publicaly he wants to play against the Americans. wouldnt be surprised seeing a george return either given how popular of a player he is
George has been spending quite a bit of time with US players like Fairplay recently, according to his IG. Would love to see him play again.
KING GEORGE vs Tony I need it
George could move his throne in to the Spy Shack.
100% I hope Tony and King George are both on.
The Golden God and The King of the Jungle (Luke) - pleeeeeease 🙏🙏🙏🙏 So many amazing Aussie players to choose from...
Imagine David, George and Luke in the same game, omg.
I really want to spend about 15 hours thinking up ideals casts for this.
So no one else will get any screentime
I meant to add George and make it a trio and was kicking myself for forgetting - can you IMAGINE the absolute beautiful chaos?!?! All they need is a jar of cookies!
I've been obsessed with potential casts since I heard this is happening lolol - even though I have watched every season of Survivor US, my heart belongs to the Aussies💜💜
I used to love Luke so much till I found out he cheated on his wife 😭😭😭
Oh NOOOOOOOOI! I didn't know that😭😭😭
Also, your flair - you repping Dirty Harry? He'd be another to add to the chaos crew - I'd love to see him working WITH David!😁😁
I would live for that!!! Dirty Harry is so smart at the game!!
If you can get Tony from US then bring back George. I would love to see that. Honestly I think they would work together since they both know the game and know they need each other.
I really need to watch Australian Survivor. I've only heard good things about it.
I know the hype is annoying but I promise it actually lives up to the hype. Of my top 10 Survivor seasons of all time, at least 4 of them would be Australian Survivor seasons. Y'all are missing out on some top tier Survivor seasons/lore.
What seasons should I watch?
8; Brains vs Brawn.
Starting the first episode of season 8 right now, thanks!

You have fantastic taste. I would only clarify that season 6 is CVC2 (I'm assuming that is the one you meant anyways, since CVC1 is meh in comparison) and that it is a must watch because it spawned at least two players that I am 99% certain will be back:David Genat obviously because everyone has always discussed him playing against Americans, especially since he has dual citizenship. Dirty Harry, not only because he's a solid player and does a great job of explaining things in confessionals, but I already suspected he was coming back soon, since someone asked him not that long ago and he responded that he can't discuss any future appearances (which if you weren't in talks, you would just respond that there was nothing planned at this time).

It's outstanding. The host is great and not full of himself. They don't have stolen votes or earn the merge or shot in the dark. They do have much more varied and interesting challenges. They have an auction. They even have "Ponderosa" videos (called "Jury Villa").
The best ever single tribal council that I (and the opinion of almost everybody who's seen it) in the history of all English-speaking Survivor occurred a couple of seasons ago. If you know, you know.
One thing I will put against the host though is that he asks a lot more leading questions that can ruin a lot of suspense.
Like two tribes show up at the challenge after a tribal and he’ll just say, “So, really big tribal last night huh?”
Whereas I find that he has a bit more sense of humor, and asks more pointed questions in tribal ("So xx, do you feel more safe tonight?"), and never says things like "That's how you do it on Survivor!" like he's the cheerleading team for the show.
This is kind of an Australianism
HvV with the king?
Of course, episode 7!
"Now you know who you can trust"- Aus Survivor to me, a now loyal follower
I agree with 90% of this, but let's not pretend that AU doesn't also love to do random non-elim votes and twists with significant frequency. Not having earn the merge is great, but they often have something just as odd somewhere in the jury phase (you kind of have to in order to sustain as many episodes as they do per season).
Kinda feels like the past couple of years people have turned to AU as the new gold standard as the New Era has moved further away from the norms of the original American show, and AU is great and deserves credit, but it's not, like, South Africa was where they're determined to do literally none of the nonsense. AU still is unnecessarily twisty.
OMG it's SO GOOD! Caught it on YT for this past season, and have now binged new era seasons 1-6, 10 and am halfway through 7. It's so much better than the US - bigger cast, longer duration and a hell of a lot tougher challenges.
Challenges are awesome, tons of episodes, great characters, the only miss is the winner is only great 1/3 of the time at best
How do you watch Survivor AUS? Would love to watch some Survivor AUS! I haven’t seen it streamed anywhere like I have for the Traitors NZ, UK, AUS?
PUT. IT. ON. PARAMOUNT+
So glad they’re going to have a banger of a season before the US lol new era karma
With how nerfy the US one is, US players wouldn't last doing actual hard challenges like theu do on AU
Hopefully they know that and pick the physically and mentally competent US players. Leave the Bahnu's and Brandon's at home.
I hope they only pick from Pre New-Era since New-Era players will likely be the majority of S50.
We should never discuss Bahnu playing this game ever again.
God please no more Bahnus on the show.
I find it interesting how obsessed with challenges a lot of the Aus Survivor fandom is. As Cirie famously said, “you can’t always beat them with this 💪 but you can always beat them with this 🧠”
Its because the AUS Survivor still has variety. It's not the same obstacle course with a puzzle at the end every time.
