Australian Survivor


As the article points out, Jonathan Brown confirmed yesterday that his former teammate Simon Black is competing.
If the article is accurate, then these people are also in the competition:
Pia Miranda
Susie Maroney
Steven Bradbury
Andrew Ettinghausen

Susie Maroney will be entertaining, she is a bit out there from past experiences with her.

Wow so 4/5 of the Champions so far are sport stars and 2 of them Olympians. Let’s watch the Champions dominate again! Did they not learn from last time? I’m so put off. Most of Channel 10s shows are down this year on last year. Masterchef is suffering because it just feels like the same old. I just don’t see how churning out the same thing is going to attract people.

What about the contenders? It’s only fair they receive the same and if they don’t this ruins Survivor. Just go on for a few days and quite like Moana did and pocket the cheque.

Wasn’t Simon Black revealed by someone else the other day? Just wish tvblackbox would make mention that some had been revealed before. Not quite an ā€˜exclusive’.

Yep, the Herald Sun did but it’s all a pissing contest about clicks these days. But anyone who is any good at keeping tabs on commentators going missing knew before any leak that Holmes and Black were on Survivor or off somewhere else. Round 6 is a weird time to go on holidays, commentators usually go mid season.

TV Blackbox reporting on their podcast that Janine Allis is a contestant on this seasons show.

I reckon a lot of the Contenders will be wondering who the Champions are when they are first see them

It’s not a ā€œcelebrityā€ tribe so they don’t need to be recognisable. They are meant to be ā€œChampionsā€, people who have been successful in different fields. Although I do think the
contestants will definitely recognise Steven Bradbury and Janine Allis if they are on the cast.

Also if rumours are true about Janine… I don’t know why she would do it? Like she doesn’t need too financially and it would be a long time for her to be away from her businesses… unless she is genuinely a mega fan of the show.

Forgive me for my ignorance but who is that?

There’s a thing called Google.

She was one of the sharks on Shark Tank. Who is the founder of Boost Juice.

Last year they had chess champions, scientists etc. Its not a celebrity version of the show and shouldn’t be.

There is no doubt some applied last year thinking they were champions.

There’s also a thing called a polite response to a question. Cheers though.

I now understand why I’ve never heard of her. Not one of the suckers who goes to Boost Juice and Shark Tank was never my kinda thing either. Thanks.

10 has ordered another season of Survivor to be shot this year.

They must be bringing it forward next year and playing with the order of their big reality shows

I wonder if it might air first up in week 2 of Jan replacing Im A Celeb so people don’t need to work so early in the year.

10 following CBS by shooting two seasons of Survivor in a calendar year.

It will air during Q1 next year probably alongside the masked singer and/or the amazing race. I think this is a better show to air against married. Completely different to both MKR and Married. DWTS has that same audience as those two formats.

No I would say Celebrity will stay put.

Masked Singer and The Amazing Race have already been announced as 4th quarter commissions.
