Survivor AU 2021

Mr E

Survivor Australia started today. Good start to the season! Loved the Mad Max intro.

That first challenge was so close (despite the start).

Having it in the Outback will be tough as hell too.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Nice, didn't know it was back, will check it out later on. I've today started watching The Block for the first time (randomly started with Season 13, so I've still plenty of catching up to do to get up to date) after I saw a promo for the new season of that during Beauty and the Geek... Needless to say I'll be kept busy with Aussie Reality TV for the foreseeable anyway... 😂

Just in the middle of it at the minute! Have seen the block so currently half way through the block NZ.

Where would one find this to watch? Just after finishing all the ones on prime.

Mr E

For what it's worth, The Block NZ is very good this year. They started filming at the start of 2020, so about episode 10, they took a year out due to the New Zealand lockdown.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Solid opening week, enjoying it so far (its been so long without any Survivor at all I'm just glad to have it back I think).

I'm really liking George, who I thought I'd hate and was just a smarmy politician, but in reality is just dorky and overconfident with a tendency to put his foot in his mouth, but for entertainment value he's giving us the most bang for our buck early on - his confessionals alone are head and shoulders above the rest. Not to mention its in my nature to vote for the social pariah and/or the underdog on Survivor.

Good to see it back.Tribal council was good and George was brave but I think he should have saved his advantage for another day.

Mr E

Cracking start to the season. I hope George stays in as long as possible, but I can't see him making it to the merge. His 9 lives are nearly gone!

Delighted with the twist at end of episode 6. She didn't deserve to get booted. 🙂

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Would love to see George and the two who stuck by him somehow make it to the end.

episode 6... If Cara kept the idol for herself,then George would have switched tribes.I think that's what the producers hoped might happen .George has a lot of work to do to stay and i hope he stays for a long time....maybe a tribe mix up would help.

Still really enjoying this season. Great to see George still alive and kicking anyway. With the edit he's been getting I'd be shocked if he didn't make it deep into the game, then again it could just be because his neck has been on the line so much and he's such a polarizing character.

Its me Also Starring LeVar Buron by the way... Decided the best way to make NuBoards bearable was with a new account and fresh identity.

Mr E

Yeah it's a fantastic series this year. Really enjoying it!

Mr E

Episode 12 - what a tribal. You could see the blood drain from his face.

He took it like a champ though. 😂😂

The Americans could learn a thing or two from the Aussie version!

They do such a great job with this show.

If George gets to the end he could easily win this. His gameplay is excellent and has to be factored in by the jury surely

PogoRach

I both loved and hated how that Tribal in Ep 12 played out. Would have been a much more interesting person to have come the merge than someone like Andrew who has literally done sweet f*ck all the entire game, so would've preferred to see him stick around, but amazing blindside.

That candy shop was amazing!

Episode 13

Bad move from Kez by finding the idol in front of people,classic survivor mistake.Simon made the same mistake by telling people about his idols and was swiftly voted out.

Good plan from George but I fear he is getting too cocky and from the preview it looks like Hayley is going to reveal him as a mole.

Mr E

George has made his bed at this stage.... I don't think he can make it to the end.

Interesting format for the tribal in Episode 14. Big scalp. Love how they keep mixing things up.

PogoRach

Great episode today, lots of politics and deviousness.

PogoRach

Still very much enjoying the series (mostly because of King George), but the biggest problem I've always had with Survivor AU is how they always drag out the endgame. I had been expecting tomorrow to be the Finale to be honest, but it looks like the Finale is next Tuesday, so still 4 full episodes to go... When there's less people there to talk strategy the episodes become very same-y.

Its great viewing every week but I agree, they do tend to drag it out a bit at times.Redemption island was not interesting and the save scrolls at tribal council are ruining the votes an gameplay.

George,Haley and Cara are my choice for the final 3.I hope no one brings the goat to the end.

Mr E

Down to the final 3! Finale is on Sunday.

Spoiler Warning

I can't see George winning the endurance immunity, but he has made the season fantastically entertaining. If he gets to the final tribal, he deserves to win.

pooch90

My money would be on Hayley to pull out the final immunity win.

Mr E

Ah that was a great finale.

Cracking season overall, can't really complain about any of it.

Even the slower episodes in the run-up to the end were entertaining.
