Survivor: Australia v The World is hurtling through the season at an extremely fast pace, with the show consisting of only 10 episodes. Fan-favourite Shonee Bowtell has been targeted multiple times, yet has managed to dodge her way out of being voted off. Does she have what it takes to win?
Recent boot Kirby Bentley tells Chattr that Shonee’s strategy so far is “clever”, but believes the player needs to add more to her Survivor resume.
“If she can get somebody out, or lead a vote on somebody, and then start to make moves [or] find an idol, then play it… if she can start to then implement those things and make the finale and do what she does,” Kirby says.
“You consider everyone [as a potential winner], you don’t know what people have done, because obviously they’re all their own main characters until it’s shown in the end.”
As a Jury member, Kirby is looking for a winner who has made big moves — something Shonee is lacking at this stage.
“[I’m looking for the] best game, big moves. Whatever that looks like. And you’ve got obviously, big targets. If you can get through it without somebody mentioning your name, that’s an incredible achievement in itself,” she adds.
Who else could win Survivor: Australia v The World?
Kirby also has high praise for Parvati Shallow and Luke Toki, two massive personalities and threats in the game. Parvati and Luke have made it into the final eight alongside Shonee, Janine Allis, Lisa Holmes, Tommi Manninen, Kassandre Bastarache and Cirie Fields.
She calls Parvati “the best”, and admits she wants a “woman to win” the season. “She knows what she’s doing. She’s played how many? Five times, I think,” Kirby says.
“I [also] think Luke’s playing an incredible game. I think that he creates the chaos, [but] I feel like he’s fine-tuned,” she adds. “He was flexible, and he came to play, and he’s chaotic when he needs to be. And I think that he really found his balance and his maturity.”
We’ll have to wait and see what happens at Tribal Council!
Survivor: Australia v The World airs at 7pm on Sundays, and 7:30pm on Mondays and Tuesdays on Channel 10 and 10Play.
