Survivor South Africa: Island of Secrets [Currently Airing]

[Hayden]

Once South Africa’s first Bachelor has found “the one” on M-Net channel 101, the much-awaited new season of Survivor South Africa will roll into the channel’s popular Thursday night local productions slot at 19:00. Set in the beautiful Samoa, and spiced with all kinds of never-seen-before curveballs, twists and turns, Survivor SA: Island of Secrets will hit our screens on Thursday, 16 May.

While M-Net and production company Afrokaans remain tight-lipped about what exactly this mysterious Island of Secrets will reveal, we have lifted the lid a little on the castaways. This season, a diverse group of 21 strong-willed individuals who believe they know the ins and outs of the greatest game on earth will be facing the harsh elements of Mother Nature – and even harsher mind games of their tenacious opponents, who all want to be the Ultimate Survivor.

Soon, South Africa will get an unusual first glimpse of these contenders. Eight of the castaways from Survivor SA: Island of Secrets will feature on a variety of advertising billboards that will start appearing throughout the country on Wednesday, 17 April.

After last year gave us an iconic season (lets not talk about that endgame stage tho ) I'm perched for this!

I am SO EXCITED because even though the endgame was predictable, I was still pretty entertained and the final result is still ****ing hilarious to this day.

"Marijuana actually! ^_^"

Shady producers putting two pageant girls on the same tribe, where one won the Miss South Africa title and the other didn't even make the top 25

[Hayden]

The old ladies on each tribe are all iconic already <3

[Hayden]

TANIA IS A ****ING SCREAM holy crap

She's like a mix of Debbie Wanner and Audrey Middleton <333

We didn't deserve ha

[Hayden]

I really enjoyed that premiere, Survivor SA always seems to start off strong so hopefully it will continue for the duration

Spoiler:

Disappointed with Lee-Ann going home but out of the two options I'm glad See Pei (you SEE it you PAY for it!) stayed

Definitely think the blue tribe are going to get tedious to watch though, certainly my least fave of the three tribes now that one of the two decent ones has gone, I hate that the injured guy (still learning names lol) wasn't even considered for the boot option simply because he was a guy - they're talking about physical challenges etc. and they literally gave a guy with a sprained foot the idol to make sure he stays

Tania is an absolute icon already though, I'm rooting for her over anyone else, whichever tribe she's on this season I'll be rooting for!

Laetita is gonna be out as soon as she goes to tribal but she's a cute little character, I hope she does well.

Tania, Seipei, Laetita, Ting-Ting and the guy who's name I've forgot (Matt? the one who wasn't here for being in Rocco's alliance) are my early faves.

If you need any further encouragement to watch this season:

Starting with the Ta’alo Tribe, there’s only one person we really need to talk about here. It’s Tania, the 51-year-old immigration consultant, marijuana enthusiast, and self-proclaimed five foot two “********** giant!” who is pretty much the South African Debbie Wanner. This whole tribe’s story focused so much on her to the point where I’m willing to rename the tribe “Tani’alo” until she’s no longer on my screen. She does start off on the right foot by entertaining her younger tribe with her big personality and eccentric humor, but things quickly fly off the rails when she starts alienating herself by randomly going off alone and telling too many tall tales when everyone just wants to sleep.

Not only is Tania supposedly an amazing rock climber, but she was also a rafting guide for four years and had a bank robber for a dad who became a local legend and almost had a statue erected in his honor when he destroyed all the checks that would force the citizens to pay taxes.
