I wonder if Jeff realizes that the Aussies version is head and shoulders above our version.

He's mostly aware. He is partly responsible for keeping it from being on a streaming service in the US, because his ego can't take it. He adamantly refuses to watch other countries installments, though, so not sure how much he's aware of how much it's better, other than everyone says it is.

I think part of the blame goes to casting and that's one of the things he's most proud of.

And looks like next ep is the infamous Australian "drowning" challenge.

I can only imaging the goofballs they've been casting for the US series doing that. or even the core/balance thing from ep 4 (which, if done, would last 5-10 minutes).

US Survivor had “Last Gasp” in seasons 43 and 44, not that long ago.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Another totally bonkers episode. I have no idea what Lisa was thinking. Any of it. Her alliance is gone and she has zero chance to win (but probably a high chance of being taken to the end).

 

[Riffraff]

Tommi and Kass go into tribal - both with an immunity necklace / idol - both go home. Wild ride of an episode.

Swedish Tommi gun?

 

[rustycolts]

Well finally a predictable episode still pretty good though.

It was weird that we didn’t see Lisa playing strategically until after her own game was blown up.

Will be interesting to see what Shonee does next since she’s the only one in the final 5 who isn’t part of a pair.

 

[El Floppo]

Just watched Ep 7.

Great googly boogly.

Spoiler

imo, tommi screwed the pooch by going for Poverty a round or two too early. If he kept working with the US players at least 1 maybe 2 rounds to take out Aussies, then the world players would have numerical advantage.

And btw...tom of finland was a thing. In the 80s.

Ep 8

Should be the easiest episode with Lisa having no allies left. Scrambling for any crumb of hope.
Shonee is floating by each week.
Name recognition Parv is the biggest remaining and has the biggest 'resume' for moves/advantages but only 1 risk taker left to go against her.

Luke + Janine
Parv + Cirie - wonder if/when Cirie makes her move as the sidekick.

Noticed that when they got back to camp in the rain that Luke was the one starting the fire. Tidbit if it comes down to a tie-breaker.

Luke redeems himself for Immunity on an event failure that haunted him.

Idols = Luke and Parv. Advantage to take an idol = Parv
Luke reveals he has an idol to Parv. Dumb. Convinces her to rip her advantage up... and she does. Whoa.
In half so that they both have a piece of it. Dumb? Or did he Just give her a free pass to top 3?

Spoiler: And then there were 5

Didn't have to try to quit tonight Lisa, it was your time regardless.

No way anyone has a shot at winning if they're sitting next to Parvati. Not even Cirie has any kind of game close to hers on this season.

We don’t know how nationalistic the jury will be. If the jury is 4-3 Aussie and Cirie and Parvati are sitting with an Aussie, do the four Aussies automatically vote the other Aussie?

Im only theough 7 and thought the same. One thing re Parv...she lied to and burned a few people. Will they see that as good gameplay, or the moves of a manipulative liar. Kinda the same thing in Survivor..but up to the players. I feel like what ive seen of Aussie survivor players, they lean more to the former and dont get hung up on revenge or emotional attachments in the game.

Ep 9

Final 5 - last time to play the idols for Luke and Parv. Both guaranteed top 4 if played on themselves.
Luke's game resume is the only one that has a chance against Parv in the finale. He doesn't seem to be a great speaker though.
Cirie, Shonee, and Janine barely have any edited solo success shown all season.

Would assume another easy vote going into the episode. Shonee is the odd one out without a duo. Must win immunity.
Parv + Cirie and Luke + Janine. Immunity gets 1 duo into next week.

Good subtle prodding by Shonee of Janine being a highly successful (rich) business woman (brags that she's buying a franchise every month) that does monthly keynote speaking... for fun. Beware the tribal speech.

Janine, unknowing that Luke has an idol, plants the seed that Parv should choose her over Luke when the time comes. Hmmm

Immunity was a battle against the wind only. Otherwise a stomping as Luke wins his 3rd challenge in a row. Hat trick.
Telling everyone, including Parv that hasn't seen it, that he doesn't have an idol.

Cirie, Cirie, Cirie... if you look around and don't see a sacrificial goat... you ARE the goat (with a high social credit score).

Alternate vote edit - stay Aussie strong = 3 votes on Cirie. Or Shonee flips against the Aussies. Luke can give an Aussie the idol for a game move. He controls the day.

Spoiler: Which way does Luke go?

Luke gives his challenge necklace to Janine as she promises to let him go to fire. He and Parv exchange idols as a symbol of trust. Kinda cool gesture for TV. Shonee vs Cirie remains. LOL - they mispell each other's names.

4 on the easy vote Shonee.

2 Aussies vs 2 Americans

Final 4 fire making is the champions move in AU, but unwanted in US final 3.

 

[Runkle]

Shonee just never really had any mojo, no spots to maneuver. Ever since the start she'd been stuck in neutral or sidelined.

 

[John123]

I thought Luke should have gotten rid of Janine and kept Shonee. Shonee doesn't really have a Resume this season so she's basically dead weight while Janine has a legit Resume. I think Janine and Luke can both make a case if they're sitting with Parvati at the end. Cirie has been 1b to Parvati with nothing distinguishing her so don't see how she wins even if she makes it to the end.

 

[Yambag]

Very satisfying ending to a fantastic season. Even with a few more predictable episodes towards the end, I loved it and hope they do it again in the future.

Ep 10
Nice finale

Easy endurance challenge for Parvati to ensure a finalist.

Hella nice editing for Janine's decision and her tribal hints.

Fire was way too close for comfort, but with so much tension in success/failure either would have been okay going home on the fail to win.

Spoiler: Bad edit after Fire

Parvati speaks to camera about losing Cirie and the bottom corner of screen says Winner
Oops!

Nice season of alliances. Jury = World 4 vs 3 Aussie

Spoiler: Sole Survivor GOAT

Janine does speak pretty well. Calls her own game flawless. Uhh... (revealed that she is the one that broke up Aussie Strong = Game over on the loyalty game).

Luke = idol, most challenge wins, convinced Parvati to rip up her advantage, played from the bottom, on the wrong side of the vote most of the time, saved Janine to allow him to go to fire, and spoke story style.

Parvati = idol, has challenge wins, didn't need her advantage and rips it up, front-runner all season, Luke's auction snafu to give her the advantage, convinced Kass not to use her idol, no votes against her all game, and explained how her gameplay outdid everyone else's.

Doomed Music edit: The 'Aussie Strong' Luke showed a few choices that weren't Aussie Strong.

The GOAT vote is both World and Aussie Strong - Parvati gets her well deserved win 6-1.

Very fun first ever 'Australia vs the World' season.

 

[Runkle]

They really foreshadowed with Luke making fire at camp like every episode of the season.

Good season, deserving win for sure.

We cant find ep10

I couldnt find it on youtube
you can go to shvideos dot net
or the facebook group : the tribe has spoken 2.0

 

[waiver wire]

such a great season
a crazy 3 weeks such a shame it couldnt have been longer but I understand that many of the players wouldnt have played if it was

 

[rustycolts]

First of all big shout out to @Yambag . Thanks for that link brother. Just as I thought might happen I couldn't find the last episode on YouTube so I used your link. I was even able to use modern technology and got it from my phone to the TV.

That was a hell of a season. I was a little disappointed with the end,but still a deserving winner.

Still don't understand why they fired Johnathan.

 

[John123]

Really good season. The person I was hoping would win didn't, but probably the most deserving person did. Still a great season with a good number of great players. Very enjoyable to watch.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Still don't understand why they fired Johnathan.

Same reason why US Survivor is 26 days and never leaves Fiji: Budget cuts.

 

[James Bond]

I thought it was interesting that the Aussies voted for Parv instead of their own. I thought it might come done to team loyalty. But I think they were all a bit star struck, especially the gal from New Zealand.

I can't buy the "best player in the world" claim since it was only a sixteen day season with only fourteen players and only four others of which had actually won. Most didn't even get to the end on their seasons. Total of 27 seasons from all of the players with only 10 getting to the finals.

Loved the intro that had George getting hit in the face with that flag.

Yea that was a pretty crappy edit for ol George maybe he's not a favorite of the producers. I thought I was the only one that noticed that.

“Most didn’t even get to the end on their seasons.” Also wrong.

Winners: Tony (x2), Parvati, Rob, Lisa, David
Losing finalists: Kass, Tommi, George

8 of 14 made it to the end before this season.
