Ten had announced the theme of season four of Australian Survivor and it’s …. drumroll … champions V contenders.
Yes, really. Again.
If they don’t shuffle the teams after the two tribals or so we are going to see a repeat of this season, where Contenders aced the strength-based challenges.
I get that celebs bring in the ratings but it’s not fun watching a whitewash.
What do you think?
I’m still gonna watch, but it’s a bit rough to get the same theme again.
I just need them to cast at least some people who have seen the show and can articulate their strategy to the camera
And maybe stay away from lawyers.
Hopefully the 2020 season will be All Stars and they can bring back the cast of season 2
And Robbie.
I will of course watch, now that I am a complete Born Again Survivor convert.
However, honestly and truly. . . I am happy to have good ratings, but I am worried about the Channel 10 definition of champions and whether it truly matches mine! Did they just get lucky this year or were they really fabulous at casting after all? Call me cynical. . .
In other news, I saw this on twitter last night. . . Now that I am a convert, this will be excellent for me to catch up!

Let’s do shadow seasons. We start with Borneo. We watch a couple of episodes a week and add our usual mix of snark and unchallengeable wisdom🧐
Good idea, Alan. I rewatched Borneo about a year ago and it was fascinating. And I have never seen season 3 Marquesas, which is the first appearance of Boston Rob
Marquesas never aired in aus as from memory we had the first Australian survivor series airing at the time which was obviously a total dud and survivor fans would have much rather have seen Boston rob inaugural season
Yes I was so disappointed at the time that we did not get it.
You have to understand that Windsong and I could get uncontrollable when Fabio appears.
Definitely beats Robbie
COUNT ME IN. HI CARUMBA. JUST MY STYLE.
Um, just quietly, wow.
What a healthy-looking young man.
No tattoos and doesn’t look like he’s on steroids and lives in a gym. The tribe will see him as a freak.
Won’t be a lawyer.
Surfer’s body. And Dave, you are right, no hideous gorilla gym body.
Surfer’s brain, too. He looks to be off to water his marijuana plants, then search for idols.
Yep
3 was Africa. Marquesas was 4 and I haven’t seen it either.
I suppose if they change the definition of “Champion” it could be quite different. Use only a couple of famous sportspeople, and a lot more from other fields, and the physical challenges will not be so unbalanced. Also, they could reduce the physical advantage of the challenges themselves.
Having said that, I think a different theme, or none at all would have been better, then revisit CvCs in a year or two.
They could have had a similar theme but renamed it like they have done in the us. David vs Goliath and brains vs Braun vs beauty.
I prefer unknowns but I won’t lose sleep over it. They could go on IAC, but I will watch.
Gillard ,Turnbull, Abbott, Rudd, ~ how would these ex Prime Ministers go on Survivor? We got plenty of them.
Three banned ball tamperers. Howzat?
People who have served long prison terms? Can only invigorate the show.
Where are the innovators at Ch 10? No champions there.
I’ll watch. It is what it is. People and their “big moves”
Well when you put it like that….
Actually I do like the theme Politicians and other crims. Or is that another show? Escape From Devil’s Island. The winner recieves a pardon. Now it’s sounding too much like Black Mirror.
