Australian Survivor Season 05 Episode 08 Descriprion

While on Exile Beach, Tegan is feeling stunned and upset that her tribe voted her out, but she is determined to fight and get back into the game.

On Contenders, Heath is upset that the tribe voted out Tegan. Benji is thrilled that his plan to vote out Tegan worked and he plans to send Heath to Exile Beach if the Contenders lose again to ensure that Heath and Tegan will be split up when one of them goes home. However, Heath is determined to ruin the tribe’s plans with the idol he found as he vowed to take Tegan to the end and he plans to stick with that promise.

Reward challenge: Three castaways from each tribe will be tethered together on a track and weighted down with sandbags. Their goal is to attempt to touch the other tribe to score a point. At any time, tribe members can pass their sandbag to someone else, but no one can drop out. The first tribe to score three points wins. The winning tribe will receive care packages from their families. (Champions Win)
The Champions are thrilled to receive the care packages. Brian receives his daughter’s stuffed bunny toy, Mat takes a moment to reflect on losing his parents at a young age, and Monika receives a stuffed bear with a recorded message from her husband.

Immunity challenge: Castaways must hold heavy sandbags tethered to water-filled troughs above their head. A person can drop out of the challenge but must hand over their bag to someone else. The last tribe to stay dry wins. (Champions Win)
Back at camp, Heath attempts to save himself by campaigning to get Anita voted out as the weakest member of the tribe. Heath is also hoping that Tegan would easily be able to beat Anita and return to the game tomorrow. However, Benji is determined to make sure Heath and Tegan are split up for good and talks with the tribe to ensure that Heath will leave. However, Fenella is not too sure that Heath is the right move and asks the girls to vote out Zach instead as he is difficult to get along with and she worries how he will interact with the Champions at the merge. Anita refuses to change gears as she knows Heath voted for her at the last Tribal Council and she can no longer trust him.

At Tribal Council, the tribe discusses the fact that they have not won a single Reward Challenge as a tribe, the issues between making decisions based on tribe strength versus personal feelings, and the impact of the Exile Beach twist. After the voting takes place, Heath plays his Hidden Immunity Idol for himself. It is revealed that everyone else on the tribe did vote for Heath. Therefore, Heath’s lone vote for Anita is enough to send her to Exile Beach. Anita goes to Exile Beach to compete against Tegan in a duel to decide which one returns to the game.

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.
