Australian Survivor

This show is really well done and keeps the form of original Survivor. US Version is going off track shortening episodes, length of season, dividing into 3 tribes and eliminating rewards. Australian version runs longer with more depth and we really get to know the contestants and appreciate their struggles without producers trying to falsely create drama that really doesn't seem to be there as in recent US versions. So much more real I've even rewatched a couple of series though I knew final outcome. I really hope it comes back. Aussies deserve credit for elevating this format. When watching Survivor you want to see contestants really going through something and wonder if you could ever handle that kind of challenge - this show gives something to appreciate and admire whether you like the players or not. Winners really deserve what they get.

Jonathan Lapaglia is a fantastic host.

And it would be hard to live up to the skills of Jeff Probst. I love U. S.survivor so had lots of expectations.

I was not disappointed the camera work, the angles, the contestant selection and the challenges are better then the U. S the effort that's gone into the challenges actually surpass the U. S. version. Less puzzles more endurance.

The contestants get more airtime and it's impressive.

Locky, Dave, Benji, Henry, Luke, what legends.

So addictive!

I love the Australian version of this show which in my opinion is as good and probably better than the U.S version.I really look forward to this show,.Well done channel 10.

I have loved the American version of Survivor from day one. The last few seasons however, I found that love waning a bit. Then after watching the beginnings of Season 41, the wokeness garbage has ruined the grittiness of the show in general and stomped out what love I had left for it. THEN I DISCOVERED the Australian version of Survivor. Wow! The challenges are more endurance and strength based, not the puzzle mania BS at all. The participant selection is spot on, giving us viewers dynamic yet down to earth people to connect with. I am officially hooked on Australian Survivor.

Survivor fans in Australia did not begin watching this season with high hopes...it just so happens that we were all thoroughly impressed. After watching this seasons EPIC finale, I believe many of Australian Survivor's faults have been redeemed and justified. Hopefully next season there will not be Tribal Councils where no one is actually voted out and additionally that episode boots aren't made too predictable based on the edit they get and the advertisements in the lead up to the episode airing. I think some different choices in the casting process would have made a big difference, and maybe having more diversity in the cast also. Overall, great season, could be sitting up the US big leagues. :)
