Australian Survivor’s Princess Kirby Bentley has been lifting the lid on the epic season of Survivor: Australia v The World, and it turns out there was a secret connection between herself and Luke Toki nobody knew about.
Kirby tells Chattr she worked with Luke over a decade ago and relished having a “secret” alliance with the Aussie player.
“Luke and I worked together. I was a shot firer when he was drilling the holes in the ground as a driller, and we would sit in the crib rooms, and we’re talking like 12 years ago, so there’s a long time far in between with us,” Kirby spills. “I had all these secret alliances”.
Aside from Luke, the player was in the game with no other connections. However, her social prowess is one of her strong suits, so she made relationships that took her to merge.
“Nobody [else] really knew me, and I would have been an easy boot. And the fact [is], they all wanted to work with me.”

While Kirby was blindsided by Parvati during the most recent episode, she was still proud of how she approached Survivor: Australia v The World.
“I didn’t go out to make big moves intentionally. Everything was just organic. And I’ve been lucky that the response has been what it is,” she says. “I just applied a fearless brand, a rebel type, brand of Survivor. And it worked, it worked for the most part.”
Kirby praises Luke’s game on Survivor: Australia v The World
While Luke made an enemy of Parvati Shallow during the classic Survivor auction, Kirby still thinks he’s making some strategic moves.
“I think Luke’s playing an incredible game. I think that he creates the chaos he’s fine-tuned. I was probably the chaos, and I played at that level the whole game, whereas I feel like he just sort of sat back. He saw it happening,” Kirby says.
“He was flexible, and he came to play, and he’s chaotic when he needs to be.”
She also thinks Luke has upped his game from his previous seasons by finding “balance and maturity”. Could this be a hint that Luke is going far? We’ll have to see what happens in the next few episodes.
Survivor: Australia v The World airs at 7pm on Sundays, and 7:30pm on Mondays and Tuesdays on Channel 10 and 10Play.
