As David Genat put it, Survivor: Australia v The World is the Olympics of Survivor, and some of the world’s best players are competing for the title.
Among them are previous winners Parvati Shallow, Tony Vlachos, David, Rob Bentele and Lisa Stanger. They’re joined by other big names like Shonee Bowtell, who’s played the most days of Australian Survivor, and George Mladenov, who legitimately believes he’s the best player ever.
But with a cast this impressive, there’s nowhere to hide, and big names will be getting booted from the competition early on.
Unlike typical seasons of Australian Survivor — which are filmed over around 47 days — Australia v The World is a hard and fast version, and the entire instalment was shot in just 16 days and will play out over 10 episodes.
Here’s everyone who’s left Survivor: Australia v The World so far.
George Mladenov
Shonee finally got her revenge on George after he flipped on her and voted her out during Australian Survivor: Heroes v Villains. After an early target was placed on her back by Sarah, Shonee managed to flip the vote, and with hers, Sarah and Kirby’s votes, George was sent packing.
David Genat
The first Australian scramble was chaos. The target was initially fixed firmly on David, with Kirby, George, Shonee and Sarah agreeing to vote for him. However, George ran to David to tell him about the plan and blamed Kirby.
David then switched the target back around to George and it seemed as though everyone was on board. But, Kirby changed it to David again during Tribal Council.
The first vote was a tie between David and George, but David’s fate was sealed during the revote and he was eliminated from Survivor: Australia v The World.
Rob Bentele
Rob Bentele entered Survivor: Australia v The World confident, in his first producer-led interview, he said that he was going to give the Australian Survivor players a “long overdue devil of a thrashing”.
Unfortunately for Rob, he never got the chance as he fell prey to Parvati — otherwise known as the Black Widow — who turned the World tribe on him after he tried to target her.
But, before Rob was voted out in an unanimous blindside, he managed to smear Parvati’s name, by revealing that she recently played Deal or No Deal Island with David, and pointed out that the two will work together if they make it post-merge.
In his post-elimination interview, Rob said he understood why he was targeted.
“[I was] a massive threat in the game, I was the only thing standing between them and the Australians, and now they will be sliced apart,” he said. “I truly thought they had brains in them to realise the only way to beat the Australians is to work together as a team.”
Survivor: Australia v The World airs at 7pm on Sundays, and 7:30pm on Mondays and Tuesdays on Channel 10 and 10Play.
