Australian Survivor Season 03 Episode 14 Descriprion
Sue arrived at Saanapu and everyone was shocked to see her. Brooke selected Sue because she had no connection to Saanapu and seemed the least threatening. Nick planned on questioning her about why she decided to vote him out. At Vavau, Kristie had a feeling that she was being targeted by Conner, Kate and Sue and thus felt very relieved about the fact that there was no votes cast. Phoebe still reassured Kate and Conner that Kristie would remain the intended target and reaffirmed her power in the tribe. In the morning, Phoebe talked with Kristie about the current state of the tribe, during which the camp set on fire.
At Saanapu, Nick took the opportunity to question Sue about why she voted him out. This sparked an argument in the middle of camp, and Sue felt very bad about the incident feeling that Nick was deliberately trying to give her a bad image in front of the whole tribe.
Reward/Immunity challenge: One at a time, each tribe member would spin around a post which would release a bag of puzzle pieces but also cause dizziness. The tribe member would then cross a rolling beam to a second post which would also require spinning to release a bag of puzzle pieces, before crossing a series of stepping posts to reach the mat and allow the next tribe member to begin. Once all eight bags are obtained, the tribe can then complete a puzzle to win immunity and reward, a breakfast spread from Hungry Jack’s at the Togitogiga Falls.
Vavau took an early lead in the challenge, but this was closed up by Jennah-Louise and in the end Matt managed to finish the puzzle before Kate to extend Saanapu’s winning streak to nine. Sue in particular enjoyed her first reward since Day 16 as the tribe swam amongst the waterfalls, but Nick still remained focused on removing her. Meanwhile, the four-member Vavau tribe discussed who to vote out. Kate and Conner symbolically reaffirmed their loyalty and trust to each other, being unable to see themselves progressing in the game without each other’s support. They discussed whether to send their votes to either Phoebe or Kristie, who seemed ready to cannibalise each other.
Phoebe talked with Kristie, despite intending to vote her off, and told her that she was trying to get Conner to vote against Kate, but also pressed her not to talk to either Conner or Kate. This made Kristie very uncomfortable, and she went to speak to Kate anyway. Kate revealed to Kristie that she was indeed the intended target at the previous Tribal Council, and that Phoebe was the person orchestrating the votes. After hearing the degree to which Phoebe had lied to and manipulated Kristie, and also that Phoebe had told Kristie to vote against Kate, Kate agreed to work with Kristie against Phoebe. Kristie also talked with Conner about Phoebe’s tactics. Despite him previously giving his word to Phoebe that she would vote out Kristie, Conner considered voting out Phoebe. In the end, Conner and Kate determined Kristie to be the lesser of two evils and voted Phoebe out.

Australian Survivor Show Descriprion
Australian Survivor is an Australian reality game show based on the international Survivor format. Following the premise of other versions of the Survivor format, the show features a group of contestants, referred to as “castaways” as they are marooned in an isolated location. The castaways must provide food, water, fire, and shelter for themselves. The contestants compete in various challenges for rewards and immunity from elimination. The contestants are progressively eliminated from the game as they are voted off the island by their fellow castaways. The final castaway remaining is awarded the title of “Sole Survivor” and the grand prize of A$500,000.
The series first aired in 2002 on the Nine Network, who as of 2020, also hold the first-run Australian broadcast rights to the flagship American edition of Survivor. In 2006, a celebrity edition aired on the Seven Network. Both iterations of the series only lasted one season due to low ratings.
In November 2015, the Network Ten announced at its network upfronts that it would be reviving the series in 2016. The series commenced airing on 21 August 2016. Unlike its predecessors, the series was renewed by Network Ten for another season for 2017, and has continued to be successful since. An All-Star edition featuring former contestants aired in early 2020. A second 2020 edition set to feature new civilian players was expected for later in 2020, but production on that season was postponed due to issued travel restrictions as well as safety concerns resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. This season is now set to be produced in mid-2021, in an Outback location near the town of Cloncurry, Queensland and is set to air in late 2021.
Australian Survivor Show Format
The show follows the same general format as the other editions of Survivor. To begin, the players are split into two or three tribes, are taken to a remote isolated location and are forced to live off the land with meagre supplies for a period of several weeks. Frequent physical and mental challenges are used to pit the tribes against each other for rewards, such as food or luxuries, or for immunity, forcing the other tribe to attend Tribal Council, where they must vote one of their tribemates out of the game by secret ballot.
About halfway through the game, the tribes are merged into a single tribe, and challenges are on an individual basis; winning immunity prevents that player from being voted out. Most players that are voted out during this stage become members of the Tribal Council Jury. When only two players remain, the Final Tribal Council is held. The finalists pleads their case to the Jury as to why they should win the game. The jurors then have the opportunity to interrogate the finalists before casting their vote for which finalist should be awarded the title of Sole Survivor and win the grand prize of A$500,000 (or a A$100,000 charity prize in the celebrity season).
Like other editions of the show, the Australian edition has introduced numerous modifications, or twists, on the core rules to prevent players from over-relying on strategies that succeeded in prior seasons or other editions of the show. These changes have included tribe switches, players being exiled from their tribe for a short period of time, hidden immunity idols that players can use to save themselves or another player at Tribal Council from being voted off, voting powers which can be used to influence the result at Tribal Council and players being given a chance to return following their elimination.
Survivor in Australia
The first Australian version of the Survivor format was filmed in late 2001, and aired in 2002 on the Nine Network. The program was a contractual obligation if the network were to be allowed to continue to broadcast American Survivor. The program was criticised for poor casting and lower production value than the popular American edition and it was not renewed due to low ratings. The Nine Network still hold the first-run rights to American Survivor and have continued to broadcast the American edition of the program ever since. Since 2013, recent seasons air on Nine’s secondary channel; 9Go! and streamed on 9Now within hours of the original American airing.
In 2006, the Seven Network found a loophole in the contract between the Nine Network and Castaway Television, which allowed them to produce a celebrity version of the series, due to a celebrity format being viewed as different from the original format. The Seven Network did not renew the series.
In November 2015, Network Ten revealed at its upfront event that it would air a new season featuring regular contestants to air in the last quarter of 2016. This new season gives Australian Survivor the distinction of being one of the few Australian programs to have aired across all three major commercial television networks in Australia. Australian Survivor has continued to air yearly, concluding its most recent season in March 2020.
Following Network Ten’s acquisition by CBS (the United States broadcaster of the format) in 2017, starting in December 2018, CBS made the complete American Survivor series available on their paid Australian streaming platform, Paramount+ (known as 10 All Access until 2021). The broadcasts include the previously unaired to Australia Survivor US: Marquesas, which Nine did not air due to its commitment in airing their 2002 version of Australian Survivor. A select few seasons are also uploaded to 10’s free streaming site, 10 Play. Each US season is uploaded some time after the season has aired on Nine Network, when the rights to that season revert to CBS under their agreement. Additionally, as of September 2020, both seasons of Survivor NZ and the Philippines & Island of Secrets editions of Survivor South Africa were also uploaded on 10 Play. In 2021, 10 Play offered week-to-week streaming via 10 play of the Immunity Island edition of the South African series as it aired in South Africa.
