It's not topping the ratings, but it's doing brilliantly among the key demographic (i.e. young people) and the network are happy with it

The three-times-a-week change is more so it can go up against the shows that are topping the ratings, which sounds a bit stupid but oh well

Only seen episode 1.

Just got round to watching episode 2 and I'm still enjoying this! It's refreshing to have the focus on camplife and actual survival rather than the non-stop strategy/idols/challenge/scrambling/blindside we're used to from day 1 on the US version.

Sunday 21st August
The Block (Nine) 1,074,000
Australian Survivor (Ten) 784,000
"In Rio Today" Olympic coverage (Seven) 755,000

Monday 22nd August
Zumbo's Just Desserts (Seven) 1,081,000
The Block (Nine) 961,000
Australian Survivor (Ten) 734,000

As M.B. said - it's attracted a solid audience both on TV and social media (#3 trend WW, #1 trend in Aus) and the viewership among the crucial 25-54 viewer age group have been especially strong.

This especially is great and fresh for Survivor. I like how it doesn't feel as formulaic as US.

A reminder that this is on for the next three days(!)

Macie Lightfoot 27-08-2016 10:43 PM

eek, I watched like 20 minutes of the premiere episode but then Des's accent was Too Much for me so I quit and watched an episode of Kaoh Rong. I'll try to catch up today, only to inevitably fall behind again!

MB. 27-08-2016 10:47 PM

Yeah Des is a bit Too Much in general

Spoiler:

but he doesn't last long so make the most of the experience while you can

It's airing three times a week from now onwards :worry:

reece(: 27-08-2016 10:56 PM

Welp it's only going to be on a few weeks then? Is it really doing that bad :o

Firewire 27-08-2016 10:59 PM

It's 26 episodes so should be on for another 8 weeks

Macie Lightfoot 28-08-2016 08:53 AM

okay I watched the premiere finally (just in time for three more episodes holy **** this show hates me) and I enjoyed it! I think my favorite is Nick and I don't really know why?

Also, I don't hate Conner [yet] but I am SKEPTICAL. Australian Survivor does not need a Malcolm/Spencer/Joe type of person.

MB. 28-08-2016 07:03 PM

Yeah Nick's a sweetheart but I'm worried they're going to shove him down our throats, for lack of a better phrase

Episode 3 thoughts:

Spoiler:

yaaaaaaassss at that result :love: Katownage :love: Power couple Phoebe and Rohan :love: Rohan nearly tanking his entire game because he didn't wear tight enough swimming trunks :love: Rohan immediately spoiling Phoebe's top-secret plan by going straight to yell at Evan and Lee :love: The fact that I don't have to change my avi out of embarrassment :love: I take back everything I've ever said about Aganoa (except Lee. Fuck Lee)

Other thoughts:
-this episode was hella long but I enjoyed it, mostly because we didn't get the reward challenge until about half an hour in which lol
-JLP's really settling in now, even if some of his not-quite-Probst catchphrases will never, ever be catchphrases, ever
-of all the US Survivors to significantly influence the making of this show, I expected the likes of Richard Hatch, Jonny Fairplay and Parvati, not So effing Kim
-Saanapu are probably the worst tribe of the three now, probably because a) I don't know how much longer I can take Peter's "I might quit guys :(" storyline and b) I don't want to keep checking how to spell their name each and every time
-Brooke and Tegan getting confessionals must mean the curse is broken!!!!!
-oh jesus christ can they stop personifying chickens on this show @ Tai @ Matt
-comp beasts Vavau Of All People <3
-I hope Sue-nami gets an OTTN episode next week or something because I'm getting worried :/ Still, quality over quantity and all that
-this episode could really have used some of Kate's positivity
-Krazy Kristie being a one-episode wonder </3 Somebody had better steal her flip flop or something tomorrow
-lol at there being two weeks with zero idol talk and now two weeks absolutely full of it, ah well

MB. 28-08-2016 07:11 PM

Also the Wiki page calls Aganoa "Angola" for this episode which is mildly amusing

MB. 28-08-2016 08:57 PM

Spoiler:

Oh and also also Reddit loves Evan and hates Kat, which means that we should all do the opposite

Headie 28-08-2016 09:04 PM

Did you use a torrent for episode 3?

MB. 28-08-2016 09:06 PM

Yeah, but it took about two hours to upload because it was in HD/it was double the length of the previous episode, so I'd advise you didn't do that (either stream it or use a different torrent maybe)

Headie 28-08-2016 09:17 PM

Mess how come they keep alternating long/regular episodes

DouglasS 28-08-2016 09:20 PM

Does anyone have a link they could send me please for episode 3

Spoiler:

These episodes really are long aren't they?
Why is Matt hiding the fact he named the chicken after his cat? :laugh:
I need to see more of Barry and Sue!!

Glad Kat stayed


This is really making me want Survivor UK

Firewire 28-08-2016 09:30 PM

I got a 720p torrent on TPB and downloaded in 5 mins

Firewire 28-08-2016 09:30 PM
