Also it's airing early next year in Bachelor in Paradise's old slot, apparently

Also also, the two groups in that photo don't correspond to the actual tribes... I think they're just someone's predictions

I'm happy with that All Stars cast

Justice for FENELLA!

Annoyed we are getting pre merge injury flops from Season 3- Jenna and Moana.

Fenella is pregnant

Two episodes to go!

I'm sorry but it's SO clear that the producers want Luke to win sooooo badly. I'm a Luke fan but he's clearly their favorite and I'm always an underdog fan!

Loved Janine, gutted she went! A Pia win would be the best case scenario.

So just watched the finale!

Pia is an INCREDIBLE winner. So happy for her, she played the hell out of the game, glad it was one of the Janine/Abby/Pia trio!

Baden was a goat and played a mediocre game at best.

So annoying that there was no live reunion/finale vote read, swear last season had a live vote read? Like the votes for the winner were read and then the whole season ended, a bit like BBUS when you want to see a bit of the aftermath and hear reactions to the win!

Cried at Pia winning, her pitch was amazing. Abby's 'Your Mum is amazing' to her daughter was so sweet. LOVE that Janine and Pia have become besties in real life now too.

Buzzing for all stars. The editing this season was SO off and focused on the males but hey what's new it's Survivor Aus- funny when 3/4 of the new series winners have actually been female!

This was a much better season! ngl I didn't have many faves other than Luke (so good to have him back again :love:) but it was just so much more enjoyable in terms of storylines and characters, and thankfully didn't have another Champions tribe full of smug fun sponges who banged on about ~not playing the game~

I thought it became quite clear a woman would win this season, I started to think it'd be Daisy at one point...her edit was kinda weird in the end? Not convinced Pia deserved to win unanimously but hey ho! Gutted for Luke but frankly I'm amazed he lasted as long as he did...AND what's more:

This is amazing :love:

I did enjoy this season, not a greatly deserved winner for me but not too awful like some other winners.
I hope they do Blood vs Water soon or whatever and not this champions contenders thing again

I noticed again that, as with Shane last year, the producers brought in a pre-show video of Pia's life just before the end, and just before she won. So repeating the same trick from last year. Whether trying to play on pre-show needs or on their pre-show fame the producers miss what reality tv grew popular with, putting unknown people who the audience make up their own minds on into unusual situations. I wish the editing had been spread out more among the cast members to make it more even. And a live finale is much better, they should schedule production so they can fit this in. The whole show was spoiled beforehand, even for some like me who didn't want to be spoiled. Pia was of course the betting favourite to win as some would love to point out.


I don't think vets should be mixed with newbies either. They've done it twice now, first with a player who was expected to be disliked and then with one who they expected to be popular. But neither should be necessary to get a decent audience if the casting is done well, and they shouldn't have to cast people with some pre-show fame or pre-show stories to manipulate the audience either.


They tried to even it out physically between contenders and champions this year, but the champions still took control really, maybe they just naturally see themselves as a group more. Who wouldn't want to be considered a champion? Whereas some contenders likely want to be known as champions than contenders.

Blood v water would just mean yet more pre-show stories thrown at the audience, absolutely no. Just go back to basics, a non-themed season with no returnees and no celebs, nobody knowing each other beforehand.

This Season Happened 3 years ago in 2016
 

Yea idk if you know or not but this season happend 3 years ago, there have been a further 3 seasons after this one..................

This just in: New Zealanders can't read!

I might get into this some time soon for the All Stars season but it seems seasons 1 & 2 are tough to find online unless that's just me. Anyone know where I could watch this? :think:

Also I remember trying this at some point in the past and it just didn't work out so I'll see if I actually go through with it this time. :worry:

Episode 1 is out! Gonna watch it in a bit, ready for queen Phoebe <3

I'll save you all time, first episode is spent just glorifying the mediocre male players and completely ignoring all but one woman and all talk about big moves. If this is the tone for the season then I can't be bothered tbh.

Forgot how much I can't ****ing stand Henry and the concept that he was this huge great gameplayer because he threw challenges to get nobodies out, pretended to be a different occupation like 50% of big brother players these days and got voted out with an idol in his pocket anyway and now he's immediately back on his bull****, like please don't put me through this again.

RIP @ the first boot, the 2nd and 3rd i didn't mind going

I'm not watching this season, but I'd like you all to know that Locky and I are getting married

This season has been SOOOOOOO good so far <3 Really glad I decided to start watching Ausvivor again :love:

I would literally DIE for Shonee, ugh she's so amazing :love: I'd love her and Phoebe to be the final two. Enjoying quite a few males as well which I didn't expect, like Nick, Locky and David!

Hoping this season carries on being great, but also want the merge to come soon as well.

has Brooke been slaying? :love:

It’s been okay so far; my main problem is that the edit is focusing on like 3 of them and ignoring everyone else; I mean has flick even spoken yet? I am getting bored of David being centre of every storyline and episode; we get it he’s going far. As much as I love shonee and she is the star of the season; she is also a tad overexposed. I mean I would have liked to see zachs reaction to exile and being voted off this past episode but it was all shonee, they could have at least given him a confessional instead of 4 for shonee.

Anyway I am happy the physical people might go now; Lydia and John have no personality and Abbie was annoying with all this keep tribe strong; like Harry said they are still losing. I hope nick telling phoboe about his key means she might be an unofficial member of the rascals; I could get being an alliance of Harry, nick, phoboe and shonee

I feel bad for Flick, we're 9 episodes in and she hasn't had one single confessional :skull: And she was a key player in the latest ep as well so it's annoying that she has to explain her game via social media rather than in the edit.

Moana's annoying me trying to take Phoebe out to weaken David... when they're not even a duo anyway. Just seems like an excuse to target a female on the outs as an easy option but pretend it's a big move just because you're too scared to take the man out. David looking hella dumb in the preview for next week as well saying he wants to make a big move to get Phoebe out with his idol... when literally everyone on the tribe except Nick wants her out anyway so like well done?

I'd love a Phoebe, Shonee, Brooke final 3 :love: Legends, queens, stars!

Also

I don't really understand Phoebe's move, she didn't vote how David wanted ok, but she also told Nick, who he considers his biggest rival, that he's going after him? And yet this episode she talks like she is really more allied with David. Nick got only himself and her to vote Moana so maybe she realised a bit late that he doesn't have much influence.

It's normal now for the AU version to miss out several people completely from the edit despite the many episodes.

True I’m loving all these players spilling what really happened on twitter and Reddit. Flick said Harry backed out on the idea, however Harry is saying on Reddit that mat told ak the plan to vote between locky/Brooke so had to do damage control. Shame I was really liking mat as well this season.

I also have to agree about mona, again I was kinda like her until 2 episodes ago. Just go after David if you are scared of him. Did we really have to have 3 confessions about mona hating phoboe; we could have had flick explaining her situation. Also love phobs calling it out on twitter that mona bidded as well but it was edited out; of course this means we are suppose to root for mona; no thanks.

I don’t mind this season but again the editing is well ****. We get it either mona, David, shonee or at a stretch Nick is winning as that’s all we are seeing

While the social media stuff can be interesting it can also give you more of an idea where the edit is going and spoil what is likely to happen either because it's hidden in the edit for suspense reasons or because the edit is trying to push a positive view of some more. The social media stuff would be more interesting after the season for me. Spoiler people will always be poking around trying to get clues as to what happens as well and then spoiling others.

Mood

The producers definitely like Harry, they put the advantage in the open and the cameraman was pointing to it. It helps Shonee at least but it rather artificially eliminated Flick. I'm sure Harry must have indicated beforehand (at least to AK) that he could make the vote pointless if they voted for him or Shonee.

Sad to see not much activity on this thread- what an amazing season this was.

Yes it was classic Australian Survivor with a very biased edit but in the end I was so pushing for Sharn to win despite David playing the best game and being massively favored by producers!

What's ya'll thoughts?

I didn't watch but everything about this season sounded terrible and everything about Australian Survivor sounds like it gets worse and worse each season.

It was good. The only major problem I had was the editing earlier on when it ignored some players (like Flick) and favoured others such as Matt, Moana. Good winner, Sharn winning would have been the worst result but with that final tribal edit it was obvious she wasn't going to.

This was a good season but not amazing.

Going in I had some MAJOR issues with the cast. Mat, Flick, Lee, Sharn...all awful. Abbey, Lydia, John, Moana...no business being on an All Stars season. And as for Zach, he was vile and I honestly cannot believe they invited him back. It's basically the equivalent of asking Kyle Jason to play again :shrug:

It was a fun enough season though but with some issues - Jericho, Nick, Phoebe all out way too early, the semi-Pagonging at the merge (that I saw coming) really spoiled things when Vakama were the better tribe. Moan-a was bloody awful and her hate boner for Phoebe incredibly annoying, as was Abbey's for Shonee who btw is AMAZING :love: the one shining light of this season, I adore her <3

Some of the twists were a bit of a mess. I swear Jonathan said the two sent to Exile Beach would be competing to return...and...they both just got to stay? A tad pointless! But if it were to save Shonee then oh well! Why couldn't they have done the trial by fire for her instead of AK????

David was far more tolerable than last year thankfully, and all I have to say is...

lol Sharn Hantz

(I don't actually hate Sharn btw, she seems like a nice person but god she's annoying to watch)

It was pretty much Australia's version of Survivor Samoa except in this version the suffocating airtime hog actually wins

If anything it almost sounds like a creepily similar season to US All-Stars with a bunch of Actual Stars leaving early and an alpha male leading an army of brain dead and extremely questionable casting choices to the end. Except the alpha male actually wins?

Also interesting to note how the edit and vibe of the franchise changes as soon as a guy like David wins because duh it's Australia.
