Has there been any news about the upcoming season in Malaysia? Presumably casting has closed. I heard it was filming mid July to early September but also remember seeing it could be a shortened season due to budget restrictions. Any updates?
I know Aaron in the US China season had it worse but that was not random. I’m talking like draw a random buff and see what happens. Because yeah Mat survived a few rounds but in a game that was also much longer and also he was screwed given his tribe was clearly much worse at challenges so he was going to tribal after tribal. Like he had no way into the majority. Has there been a more unlucky RANDOM swap for someone?
>!Like of course he made the cookie idol mistake but after that he played great to make it that far!<
Been rewatching the first 5 seasons and just got to All Stars which made me wanna recreate the cast! I'm aware that some were asked and declined, but this is just my reality, also tried to split up the cast as best I could.
Who do we think takes the title? I can't pick between David, Brooke, Shonee, Janine, and Tessa but I'm also rooting for pretty much everyone
I recently decided to watch international old school survivors after i kinda got tired of us survivors complicated games like WaW. And both 2002 and celebrity seasons were so good and catching for me, i mean i understand they get canceled because it didnt get enough ratings maybe, but why they never thought about bringing any of them ever? Craig from 2002, gabriella, imogen, nicole from 2006 and more, why they never brought anyone?
(NO SPOILERS) I've been going on the journey of watching Australian Survivor for the last month and half and I've just made it to All-Stars. I've heard/read that this season is down there with BvW as bottom of the barrel. I can't see that being the case from the trailers and all the big cast that are on it, I also know who the winner is and if it's anything like they played before it should be an interesting watch at least right? I'm actually nervous to watch and be disappointed.
I just finished this season for the first time last night. I had already other seasons watched, in this order, AUvTW, All-Stars, Redemption, and now CvC2, so I knew who the winner would be pretty early in the merge. lol
Caveat: I don’t have access to anything before CvC2. I know it’s not popular around here but I loved All-Stars and after finishing it, and was mad at myself for watching it before I watched all the other seasons and spoiling myself and decided to go in order, but I can’t, so I started with the first one I can watch.
I thought this was an unbelievable season of Survivor. I would put it in my personal top ten of all time. The gameplay was fun, devious without being mean-spirited, and even though I knew what was going to happen, I was rooting for Luke (and then Harry) as if I was watching it live.
David, Luke, and Harry were so fun to watch and my heart broke for Luke (and Pia) when she didn’t let him go to fire. As an American, I had assumed that Pia, as a working actress, was rich, so I was glad the she explained that she wasn’t (and that the show aired it.)
I also loved watching Janine rise to the top and then and her fall from power. I also understood Abbey so much better since the editors really didn’t give her much of an edit in All-Stars and I had no clue she had a personality. lol
Before she explained her situation, I had told my husband that the title wouldn’t have mattered to me if I was rich and going against someone with a story like Luke’s. I wasn’t mad at her or anything, I just thought it was cold-blooded of her since, only in my mind, she was a millionaire like Janine. lol - Again, I wouldn’t have held it against her either way, but I’m glad it was cleared up.
I guess I’m curious, if anyone here wants to talk about it, did Pia get a ton of backlash for not letting Luke go to fire? I’ve been searching through old posts here this morning and I saw a couple of comments, but I’ll probably let be reading a lot throughout the morning. lol
I was shocked Baden thought he stood a chance against Pia and didn’t take Harry to FTC. I didn’t know she got every vote but assumed she would before FTC even started. It seemed he and Harry were close and I’d have assumed he’d have taken his friend over Pia since he surely knew he couldn’t win?
I know I’m around 6-7 years too late but just, wow. That was a great season and would love to hear any insights. I’ll be listening to the old pods and exit press throughout next week. (I drive a lot for my job.) Just a top notch cast.
Thanks for reading and I’d love to hear any insights or any other pods I should check out other than Shannon’s for more info.
I know he was only on for a few episodes but I actually do miss him. I thought he was a good player. Cried when he got voted out.
My obvious picks are mat rogers, Pheobe and Sam (2017, BvW)
I've been looking at Malaysian locations other versions have filmed at. Do we know which parts of the country production has been looking at?
I've found these confirmed locations, different countries and territories have filmed in. I've used the term pulau instead of island for some of these locations for consistency sake.
US/UK/Finland - Pulau Tiga, Sabah, Borneo
South Africa/Dutch-Belgium/Finland/Denmark/Georgia/Greece/Norway/Sweden/Switzerland - Johor
Dutch-Belgium/Finland/Denmark - Pulau Langkawi
Sweden - Pulau Mataking/Pulau Pompom (filmed at both locations in a single season).
Johor has the most filming locations with Sribuat Islands, Mersing District, Pulau Besar, Babi Tengah, Pulau Mataking and Pulau Pompom.
There are more versions that filmed in Malaysia but they only listed the country as the filming location on Wikipedia.
So I decided to finally get into AU Survivor and I’m currently on Season 2 and I just finished the Final 11 episode and I’m like mad. What was Ziggy thinking??!!
You had the Samatau minority alliance of Pete, Anneleise, and Tessa and the Asaga majority alliance of Jericho, Luke, Locky, Henry, Tara, Michelle, and Sarah. Ziggy meanwhile is the deciding vote. Henry and Luke, the two Alpha males, decide to lead the charge to get out Anneleise since she didn’t vote with them at the last Tribal Council and she has an idol. Anneleise and the Samatau alliance decide to take out Locky since he flipped and is considered to be one of the strongest players and the leader of the majority alliance and Anneleise plans on playing her idol. In the midst of all this, Ziggy has a Super Idol that she could use to nullify Annaleise’s idol or she could join the minority and make a big move and take out one of the strongest players, Locky.
Come Tribal Council, the Samatau alliance puts their votes on Locky and the Asaga alliance puts their votes on Anneleise. Anneleise plays her idol and then Ziggy stupidly plays her Super Idol to nullify Anneleise’s idol and as a result, Anneleise is taken out of the game.
That is just a completely dumb move by Ziggy. She essentially gave all the power to Asaga and gave control to Locky and Henry, two guys who don’t really trust her. I feel like she completely flopped her game and I think that someone from the Asaga alliance will win. SMH
Also, please keep the discussion spoiler free for me!
Do you guys agree with that?
NO SPOILERS PLEASE as I’m only on Episode 10 and I’m really not feeling it still? Maybe after Heroes vs Villans my expectations were far too high? (Thanks George), but I’m getting so frustrated with poor gameplay and a few unlikeable cast members.
I imagine there was a huge divide with fans when it aired with Teams Feras vs Team Kirby? I actually can’t stand how smug and hypocritical Kirby is. Will I come around to liking her?
Just wanted some advice without spoilers as to whether it’s worth sticking it out til the end? HELP!!
What I mean by ‘collateral damage’ is that the players at first weren’t even considered as the initial/intended target but due to them unintentionally getting into the crosshairs, chaos, and unfortunate circumstances of the game, they ended up getting voted out as the result. And I think Fraser easily fits the bill here for obvious reasons.
And to be clear, this is not including players who made dumb moves and/or certain misplays that resulted in them getting voted out, this is only including players(who did nothing wrong) that ended up getting voted out due to unfortunate game circumstances.
Hi there! I have never really got into Survivor but have seen a few episodes here and there and have enjoyed it.
Anyway, I'm a high school teacher and students need to watch and respond to a reality tv episode. I really want to hook my students in with a season premier episode but I don't know which season premier I should show them. Any recommendations? Looking for an episode with alllll the drama, challenges, alliances, tribal council (if that even happens in first episodes?) and everything in between. I want to show a season opener so the students can understand the premise of the show and see relationships/characters develop, rather than going into the middle of a season.
Thanks!!
I am only just watching this season now. What was the consensus on the cast for this season when it aired?
I am finding it extremely hard to watch, the characters are so hard to like IMO. They spend the whole series bickering and fighting, jealous of each other's moves, tantrums if they're not in on a blindside. It's too much.
It's not all of them - Kaelen for example seems awesome - but the likeable ones do not get screen time.
Also, am I missing something RE Paulie? Why did he get branded a snake oil salesmen? I don't see it, did I miss a move or something?
Heard about Australian Survivor from Aus vs the World & decided to check out HvV to see gameplay from more of the characters. On episode 15 & this is currently my favorite season of any survivor I’ve watched. So many great players!
