As you would know I am obsessed with Australian Survivor and I am doing the exit interview chats for 'Hero’s vs Villains.' So this episode we will be talking to the latest booted castaways from Week 4

First up we have 'Jordie Hansen' who no secret is one of my favourite contestants in both seasons I have watched with him in in.

'Jordie' reentered the 'Australian Survivor' universe with a nick name firmly slated as 'The Joker.' Beautifully selected as a 'villain' and 100% a fan favourite for many 'Survivor' enthusiasts.

• 'Jordie' will also share who he thinks could win and if he would ever return to the Australian format again?

We then have 'Benjamin Law' who is another journalist, but he is also known for his popular writing on TV shows, novels and theatre. I think of him as an 'LGBTI' activist and his name being attached this this show was very exciting to me.

• We will find out why he thinks people thought he was shifty?
• We will discuss making the fake Idol and if he could have used his Idol clue as a different advantage.
