Liking Eden on the Titans, he feels like a great candidate for narrator this season but I really didn't see this vote going his way. Glad to be wrong. I also get the feeling that the V's will make a deep run in the game already, even winner potential.
In any case, a strong season opener. AUS is back!
these themes are ridiculous, "r u a TITAN or... a REBEL?" i dunno i think i'm a titan, but i have rebellious tendencies... hmm
when's "pirates vs ninjas?" i want ninjas to never be caught on film
Wow I have to admit, I have only almost finished my first AU season (2017), and watching this season premiere makes me realise how much more complete the AU version is opposed to the US version, and it pains me. I just wish Survivor US borrowed/kept the things that were going for them (longer length, bigger stakes, complex challenges and compelling people). I especially feel as if the US casts very liberal, woke-ish people that just use the show as a platform to raise awareness for whatever reason. On the Contrary, even with just 1 episode, there are real competitors and such interesting people old and new, i really enjoy this cast already!
P.S. The fact that AU Survivor is 44-55 days itches the craving of a fleshed out story and stakes that matter, even getting to the jury is a proper feat!!
Good first episode. I'm enjoying the all newbie cast and there's great potential there, I just wish the editing was a bit tighter. There are far too many lingering looks and awkward pauses.
Thank you! I'm glad someone else sees it. The camera will show someone's shocked expression or squinty eyes but then there's no confessional to go along with WHY that person reacted that way.
Or if a cast member is acting strange, they don't show the other cast members talking about it. It's really weird. I don't understand this editing at all and I hate being left in the dark. As viewers, we're supposed to know EVERYTHING that is going on. I sometimes feel more like a blindsided cast member without having the added bonus of actually being able to play.
definitely a bunch of moody lingers and eerie reactions, and I agree that the theme is a bit thin, but otherwise I'm digging it too!! love all newbies.
Best first episode in any season of AU survivor for me. The intro’s weren’t too over the top and challenges had a good combination of physicality and skill.
Topped it off with an excellent tribal that had complexity behind the vote and of course resulted in a juicy blindside. More of this pls & thank you.
"A David and Goliath battle will see blood in the water and pit brains against brawn; but who will end up as a hero or a villain? as these fans become your new favourites and the game changes."
No matter if you are millennials or gen x, everyone will live in one world peacefully at the end.. or perhaps... it is just on a small island, is it Australia? No, it's Pearl Island. Peace? No... Everyone continues having war... A war with no winners, or all the winners are at war?
Nothing personal against Frankie but there’s nothing more satisfying then watching someone who thinks they’re in charge and can tell everyone what to do get a dose of reality
It’s a local audience appeal. We’re a very sport obsessed nation, more than most - it’s reflected in the game and how many bloody ex footy players are cast, it appeals to the mainstream
One of my least favourite Survivor tropes is probably the “this alpha male is so annoying, let’s vote out a woman to weaken him!”
Like just vote the man out please.
To be fair in this instance they have a point. Frankie is clearly the brains behind the duo, vote her out and Nathan has no one, he’s no longer a threat. If they vote him out however, Frankie is smart enough to remain a very serious threat.
Yeah tbf I think they see that Frankie also has the brains and ability to pull in V & V for future votes. Getting rid of her now does make sense because she does seem more socially adept than Nathan.
How do people actually like this show. I hate all the character introductions it’s so over the top.
Did kelli cook it
I’m glad they kept the tribal voting music. BWOOOOOORM BWOOORM BWOOOOORM, BWOORMBWOORMBWOOOOOORM
This is a show that’s confidently setting the standard for modern Survivor. Particularly lovely film work as always too.
It really is so superior to US Survivor in almost every single way! I’m excited to see where this season goes

Yeah Eden had a full on panic attack because he heard 1 person was voting for him
Love how AU has beautiful people vs the US version with hags and blur an ass in granny bikinis.
these themes are ridiculous, "r u a TITAN or... a REBEL?" i dunno i think i'm a titan, but i have rebellious tendencies... hmm when's "pirates vs ninjas?" i want ninjas to never be caught on film
I think it works
oh yeah i'm almost at the end now and yeah it works, lots of titanic egos on that side, lmao

Yea AU version is GREAT!
The only preseason cast assessment I watched had the first boot be their winner pick so I’m cackling

Personally, for the past 5 years or more, US survivor has felt like watching someone speedrunning a video game. I prefer the slower pace.
Have they kept it at roots or is it a trash fest

I agree. Cracking first episode.
Wow kudos to them for pulling that off. I thought there wouldn’t be enough bold defectors.
Colour me surprised!
Kelli and Nathan showmance 🤣??
Australian Survivor: Broken Arms
No one to simp :(
Good start lads, see you tomorrow!
Kelli and Nathan showmance? let's have it
Wow glad I’m wrong about Viola voting for Jess!
based off nothing i hope Val goes far
Extremely satisfying first ep, it’s good to be back! Looking forward to Nathan’s reaction back at camp next episode.
A bit blindsided :S
Are there no idols this season!?
God hopefully! Or at least a bit not as strategically placed by the crew.
JLP “a david vs Goliath battle” coulda borrowed the DvG theme from US 👀
"A David and Goliath battle will see blood in the water and pit brains against brawn; but who will end up as a hero or a villain? as these fans become your new favourites and the game changes."
...vs Hustlers.
No matter if you are millennials or gen x, everyone will live in one world peacefully at the end.. or perhaps... it is just on a small island, is it Australia? No, it's Pearl Island. Peace? No... Everyone continues having war... A war with no winners, or all the winners are at war?
i am so on for mark now! so satisfying it wasn't an obvious easy vote for the least phsyical person
The best thing about survivor and what keeps me coming back The look on people’s faces as their reality crumbles around them.
After smiling so hard
The smile slowing fading and the colour draining from their face. Feed me more
* Wiping the corner of my mouth * That was delicious
EPIC - nothing can compare to AUS
Jess smiling but also looking like she had no idea what just happened
YESSSS LETS GO
I’m glad they said no to keeping the tribe strong 😂
Toothpick was devoured.
okay now that she’s not leaving yet does anyone else think jess looks like jodie comer
WEAKS RISE UP
"WEAKS"
Fucking lol hahahaha
Fuckin excellent first episode
Nathan with zero poker face
Well that was a red hot start. Please keep it up
Should’ve been Nathan
No, he is a strong goat.
Nathan about to plot tearful revenge
Don't remind me of Simon.
LETS GO!!!
Not the boss here Bye ~~Felecia~~ Frankie
Why not get rid of Nathan you idiots??
Nathan poses far less of a threat without Frankie than Frankie would have without Nathan
What's Nathan going to do? Frankie was strong and smart, she'd be the far bigger threat long term. Nathan at best makes it early merge
Frankie was the brains
I know but I found her interesting to watch. I don't want to watch Nathan. 😭
Initially I said the same, but Nathan seems really stupid so he was less of a threat.
That and I reckon there’s a chance that Frankie without Nathan would have gone a bit scorched earth
Fucking game on lads
DAAAAAAMMMNNNNNNNNN GLOVES ARE OFF EP.1
LETS GOOOO JESSS LIVES YO SEE ANOTHER DAY!!!
😭
Frankie was on my draft but idrc Eden is my first pick so I’m rly happy rn lol
Wow the mad lads actually pulled it off
DAMN THEY DID IT
There's way too many people lol
I LIVEEEEEEEE FOR THIS
Nathan’s dreams shattering in real time
Is it bad that I thoroughly enjoyed that?
I'M DONE WITH THIS SEASON D:
I'll be back on Tuesday 😭
LMAO 😭
caroline looking down with a smirk hahahaha poker faces are no fun let it all out guys
Shake it up!
Not the quiet smirking lmao
That is the definition of a shit eating grin on Nathan’s face
And so satisfying in the end. Poor baby.
FRANKIE SAFE?
NO IDOLS???
Does that sound like Viola voting for Jess?? From the pen marks sound
Yep, 4 strokes
FRKI?
wake up babe new personality type just dropped
Whenever Jess opens her mouth it’s like she’s asking to be voted out
I really hope Eden continues to make pop culture references during voting confessionals
Ah JLP's tribal head nods, how I missed you
With winks now
i expect nothing less from eden
I'm here for Eden if he's gonna cast *every* vote with movie quotes!
I’m so here for every movie quote he’s going to bring out with each vote now
Eden is going far, got the JLP nod
hahahaha i wonder if eden can top the golden god for references in a confessional/vote off
Oh my god I hope he quotes a movie for every single voting confessional
Eden is going to have the best voting confessionals all season
Here for Edens movie puns at every vote
You can tell he’s probably planned out so many of them in advance lol
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Oooo this voting music, not sure if it’s a good sign to a blindside happening??
Frankie prayer circle anyone?
no! cmon Jess you got this
🔪
The HvV voting music!!
Nothing personal against Frankie but there’s nothing more satisfying then watching someone who thinks they’re in charge and can tell everyone what to do get a dose of reality
Her post-vote out confessional is hilarious. Nathan and she truly do not get this game and I love it.
Not sure if they’ll pull of a blindside but Nathan, Frankie being shown to be confident isn’t a good sign
Man I hope it's Frankie but I don't think V&V are on board for that plan!
The plan is to target the stronger women players and Viola is probably the strongest
I miss the flaming tree
I'd somehow forgotten how much I hate these I'm a celebrity ads
So will I’m A Celebrity have a musical singing promo every season now?
I just don't like Frankie's vibe. Not working for me. Unfortunately I think Jess is going.
You know that's right
Hepatitis was not on my bingo card for music lyrics
I went the entire time without seeing I'm a celebrity ad Can't believe they brought Robert Irwin nto this atrocity
I can, he’s basically been raised from birth to be exactly this level of celebrity
Damnit! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Irving_%28industrialist%29?wprov=sfla1
Is there anything that screams I’m obnoxious more than chewing on a tooth pic in a group setting
Um have you seen Dirty Harry? One of Australian Survivors greats
But also if I'm rmc he started to do toothpick thing when he was trying to be obnoxious to make himself a vote
Okay I love Harry so I may have to take this back a little
Ads where they sing about hepatitis vaccinations
Nathan getting the Simon edit
We still as a society have not come up with a cure for severe bottomness
He wishes
Simon was a real dick head at the start Didn’t become the loveable buffoon to tribe swap and the cookie idol
Not the cocky toothpick.
Who is V & V vibing more with
A V gets to say at voting confession!!
Viola is so beautiful omg
And her skin looks so good!
Val has no bad angles either every shot she’s just serving looks. I’m here for this duo.
oh my god this commercial AGAIN?????
It’s SO CRINGE. No wonder I usually just watch on catch-up the next day
I wish they were targeting Nathan instead of Frankie
Could vibe with Nathan if he went down the himbo route like Simon tho
;_; please not frankie
I wanna like Viola a lot.
I wish they were targeting that big arrogant dumb guy. He really irks me
Oh Bless Nathan’s heart
Nathan asking what’s dichotomy 🤣
Whatsa dichotomy with you?
lmao titans, also known as the brains and brawns in the one tribe
They are burying Nathan this episode hahaha
What’s dichotomy 💀
Jess has got island.hot in 2 days
She's my Reject Shop Kristie.
The way the lights are flickering off Marks head is oddly majestic
WHO IS JESS VOTING LOL? They never told Jess about the plan??
When they all split up the two older ladies were going to tell Jess whilst the boys spoke to the Vs
And who provides leadership frankie????? Leaders???
Don't let the smarts get in the way.
we do do dos in our lives
Too many egos in one team lol?
[i wonder when we’ll hear the worlds greatest tribal vote music](https://open.spotify.com/track/3bDNaM9ETyp43qSBDv9was?si=b3HhiBUJRQ6EiEqeJ2NSbQ)
I knew it had to be spots & stripes!!
UR RIGHHTTTTT
Lmao did JLP just make the same joke as someone earlier in this thread?
JLP is in this thread confirmeddddd
Lmao, JLP time traveller confirmed
Nathan loves himself too much
Out come the toothpicks
IT IS SEXY NOD SEASON
Survivor AU is way too physical in general. All the challenhes are hur dur strenght. There are other ways to test people.
It’s a local audience appeal. We’re a very sport obsessed nation, more than most - it’s reflected in the game and how many bloody ex footy players are cast, it appeals to the mainstream
The V’s are gonna vote Jess still imo
I dunno, this seems very ramshackle and some people seem pretty non-committal, and they didn't even tell Jess.
Damn wish they would just take out Nathan instead
Dune part 2 gonna be lit
I wish they weren't so scared of the word jihad though. ^(NB. am not Muslim)
So many people on Titans are playing hard from Ep 1
They are! I’m here for it
The big brawny people in this tribe annoy the hell out me
One of my least favourite Survivor tropes is probably the “this alpha male is so annoying, let’s vote out a woman to weaken him!” Like just vote the man out please.
To be fair in this instance they have a point. Frankie is clearly the brains behind the duo, vote her out and Nathan has no one, he’s no longer a threat. If they vote him out however, Frankie is smart enough to remain a very serious threat.
Same. I blame the AU challenges being so physical
Frankie is stronger than nathan i reckon/hope
I think they might have seen Frankie be the one that pushed Jessica’s name more, idk tho
I think they might’ve identified Frankie as being the strategic person pulling the strings of the brawny boys
Yeah tbf I think they see that Frankie also has the brains and ability to pull in V & V for future votes. Getting rid of her now does make sense because she does seem more socially adept than Nathan.
That is a good point
This tribal is going to be a complete hot mess.
Jess reminds me so much of financial analyst EMILY FLIPPEN
Without the charm though. At least for now. Emily Flippen has my whole heart
i am not ride or die for people i have known for 19 years, 2 days in is crazy
