Australian Survivor

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.

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!

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.

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).
