Survivor Mates: The Australian Survivor Podcast

We're back! But please don't get excited. There's really a lot of TV to watch to do this Podcast. Really? 90 minute episodes? 3 episodes a week? You're killing us here! Make it tighter! Anyway here's our thoughts on week one. Will we be back? Maybe. For the finale. Maybe.

This is it - the end of Survivor Mates for series 1 (well, series 3 - but who counts the first attempt on Channel 9 or the celebrity version?) of Australian Survivor. We have a winner - it's Kristie. That's fine... I guess. What we don't have is a LIVE EVICTION SLASH REUNION SPECIAL!! What the hell Channel 10?!? Where were our invites? Also, Amberly does a podcast version of the firewalk and I thought it was super funny.

Here we go! Penultimate episode of Survivor Mates! As we head into finale week here's how it looks. Lee and El are inseparable and in ❤️. Flick is important but needs to not be their third. Matt has finally realised what is going on. Kristie is important but struggling. After 2 episodes we bid farewell to Sam. Hope he got some Tim Tams off the island. See you next week for the FINALE EPISODE!

Week 8! 45 days down! 8 become 7 become 6. Well, this week is exciting because there was one boring episode where nothing unpredictable happened then one really good episode where HEAPS happened. Vale Brooke! You were definitely going to win if you weren't kicked out, so Flick did a good job there. Also Lee and Sam shared a bed - there were Tim Tams and some solid "just friends spooning". The game's heating up now!

Wow... we're unimpressed with how boring the power alliance has become. Noone seems to be challenging the Brooke, Flick, El, Lee, Sam quintet at all. In fact people are openly happy to sit outside it and on the bottom: I'm looking at you Matt and you Sue. Only 2 eps this week (small relief) and Sam loves bread!! And salt and pepper!!

Now Australian Survivor is being compared to US Survivor. No evacuations for us this week - just pink symbollic gestures of alliances via friendship bracelets. Vavau's decimation finally ends with the merge. Tears were shed when castaways receive their letters from home and we lose 3 more Survivors this week. Anyone else think JP is on fire at tribal at the moment?

Whoa! Power players are falling like flies. First of all Phoebe orchestrates the blindside of the game and gets ride of Craig, then runs out of lives and is evicted. Also Sue heads off to Sanapu after a tribal council without an eviction (again). Kate and Connor do a lot of trust exercises. WHOA WHOA WHOA the merge is in the air!

Finally! Australian Survivor is starting to get good! JP is hosting up a storm and knows how to add some tension into tribal councisl. There's all kinds of brown things featured this week (i.e. mud and chocolate). Craig throws some shade and talks about hypothetically voting out Andrew with Andrew right there! And then Andrew got evicted! Also, seeya Kat! Happy island toss-out to you!

Matt & Amberly discuss the multitude of weekly television that is Australian Survivor. Nick's a villain, boils are being drained, there's a thing that's kind of a merge but don't call it that.

Recap of Week 2 of Australian Survivor by Matt and Amberly. We dissect another batch of baffling strategies, remain dumbfounded that Kat is not kicked out yet and we finally learn the hosts name! It's JP!
