Survivor : Australie

WOW. I don't know how long Paramount has had this on their channel, but I blew through seasons 4, 5, and 6 in less than two weeks. That's with 70-plus episodes and half of them over an hour of runtime.

Australian Survivor takes the gold. The challenges are ten times better. The runtime and amount of episodes they show in Australia is great (I think I saw someone say it's three times a week over there). The people make us Americans look like garbage people lol. Even their narcissists are decent people!

Production is better, we get to learn about these contestants, there are so many surprises and advantages. How is US Survivor so bland compared to this? And we were the original! When I watch this show, I don't do anything else. Usually I get so sucked in, I feel like I'm there right along with the contestants playing the game. Sounds weird, I know, but that's how flawless this show is.

Only con is I'm in the States and only have access to the last three seasons, and I'm not sure if we'll get to see the new season in real time. I was on the fence about the host, and I saw someone mention that he stirs stuff up in tribals. That was super annoying to begin with because like that commenter, I was wondering why there is so much interference. However, the conversation is always riveting. People just lay things out there! The majority say what's on their mind, and even when it's a negative comment about someone they're sitting next to, most deliver it in a respectful manner.

I can't say enough about the production and longer runtime. Survivor US doesn't give us nearly enough, and if my memory serves correct, they even either did away with or cut out the reward challenges.

Australians are great humans. They also have the best TV (Wentworth, Survivor, etc.). I wish I was Australian so I can go on the show. I mean seriously, I could write a book about this gem.

Hands down, Survivor AU is brilliant. Please watch!

I will start by saying that I think Australian Survivor does a GREAT job in casting. I would LOOOOOVE to see a crossover with AU and US tribe mates! The only problem I have with the show is Jonathan LaPaglia's approach at tribal council. He does not let tribal happen organically. He stirs up too much at tribal. Probst does a far better job, and LaPaglia would do better to keep it more like Probst. The amount of time spent on each episode at tribal is ridiculously too long. The constant probing questions as to who is going to be the next person out, defeats the purpose. Apart from that, I do believe out of all the English versions of Survivor, Australian Survivor does the best apart from the US. Both seasons on New Zealand were bland, and South Africa had some unforgivable antics with an immunity idol. Anyways, AU is doing a great job for the most part! I love this show!

Australian Survivor FAR surpasses any other version of Survivor, it's just amazing! 54 days so you really get to know the players, they brought back all the things I LOVE about Survivor, The auction and even the car, it's Survivor on Steroids is the best way to say it. The challenges are better, it's just an amazing show that I prefer over the US version and I am a die hard Survivor fan and thought no way I would ever like this better than the original but it's better!!

Compared to Australian Survivor (2002) and Celebrity Survivor (2006), this 2016 version is SO much better. It has everything the US version has; from the theme to the fast-thinking lovable host. The music is a bit over-dramatic but apart from that, Australian Survivor has everything a good survivor season needs. It's not perfect quite yet, but it's certainly on its way. As a survivor fan, I can definitely see myself watching this season and many seasons to come without hesitation, and i hope others from around the country share the same opinion. Over all, great job, great host, great contestants, great everything. Thankyou for not repeating your previous mistake in the first 2 seasons (if I dare consider them survivor seasons).

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. :)
