I hope the champions are mostly ordinary people who have done extraordinary things, that possibly earned them some public recognition. We don't need 4 sport stars, 3 tv models/actors and a retired politicians etc.
-
I am hoping that this season will be good like the past two seasons, but celebrities make me skeptical...
-
I think celebrities will be a GREAT idea!
Football stars, cricketers, singers, actors, politicians, etc, lets celebrate! :conf:
-
Well, we had some champions last season imo. I would consider Sarah (model) or Ziggy (olympian) as champions, and they were both awesome to see, so if all the champions are like them, bring it on! :)
We could also see Lee (Ex pro cricketer) and maybe Matt (Magician/Mentalist) from 2016 as champions.
I'm not mad for the twist, as a non-australian person, they will all be ordinary and new people for me. xD

SO apparently filming now...
And look who may be back?
Inside Survivor has learned from multiple sources that three-time Survivor player Russell Hantz will compete on the upcoming season of Australian Survivor, which is currently filming in Fiji. And while we’re still hoping this is just a really late April Fools joke, it unfortunately looks to be true.
Read more here:
http://insidesurvivor.com/russell-hantz-to-appear-on-australian-survivor-season-3-33760
And should this be called season 3 or 5? What will AUS TV call it? ???
-
I don't like Russell at all, but this news actually amuses me. If it's true, I'm for it.
-
OMG how did I like, TOTALLY miss this?
Filming in Fiji! Thank god, they've moved on from Samoa!
I call it Season 5 (it actually is), however Channel 10 (which is owned by CBS now) is calling it Season 3 (as it has aired seasons in 2016 and 2017)
And when I think of 'Champions v Contenders', I think of ex-AFL players, ex-politicians, against ordinary Australian people (like me :))
Please don't make this a season of Americans, just like Bachelor in Paradise :res:

There's a report going around that Collingwood AFLW star, Moana Hope, will be on this year's version of Survivour!

Thanks! That makes much more sense...
Network Ten has responded to this morning's reports that parent company CBS is planning to overhaul the network.
In a statement to TheFIX, Network Ten Chief Content Officer, Beverley McGarvey, said: "The claims made in The Sunday Telegraph today are ill-informed, misleading and completely wrong. We were not asked to comment on these claims before they were published. If we had been, we would have furnished the reporter with the truth.
"The facts are clear. ….
"To claim Australian Survivor, The Bachelor Australia, The Bachelorette Australia, I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! and Pointless are under review is total nonsense.

Cloke retired last year after 246 games with Collingwood 10 with the Bulldogs.

Moana Hope, is actually a really great human!
The former Collingwood marquee forward detailed to AFL.com.au the difficulties she faced in the first two NAB AFL Women's seasons, including a knee injury that hampered her first year, and more debilitating, dealing with anxiety and depression.
"I put my hand up to say my first two seasons haven't been great, but I also think a lot of people don't know I've been injured at stages and mentally not strong," Hope said.
The 30-year-old came into the AFLW system as one of its highest-profile players. She kicked 106 goals for the St Kilda Sharks in the VWFL in 2016 and signed with the Magpies, one of the biggest clubs in the land.
Hope sustained the knee injury (diagnosed as a strained PCL in her right knee) in December, 2016 in the lead-up to season one. Although she played every game, she was under duress and fans didn't see the best of her.
"I physically wasn't right, mentally wasn't right and we weren't playing good footy.
"I've had massive anxiety. There were training sessions at Collingwood where I would break down and cry in the car the whole way home, because everything was out of my control and it was so hard," she said.
Hope has nearly fully recovered from her stint on the reality television show Australian Survivor, which was filmed in Fiji. Hope was voted out of the show after contracting a nasty illness.
"Once I got sick, I lost seven kilos in five days (on the island). I just couldn't keep anything down. After being voted out, I was in bed for three-and-a-half weeks, just trying to eat and drink again," she said.
"I went to the doctors and it took them a week to get blood, because my immune system had shut down and I was beyond dehydrated. I was down and out.
"I was sent to a disease clinic. It was like a traveller's disease or something I had picked up. I am still going to appointments for that. There was a lot of things out of whack in my tests."
Filming coincided with the AFLW Trade Period, so Hope had set things in motion with North Melbourne ahead of time. But when the time came for her to make the final call, she was in a jungle.
"The producers had warned us not to steal anything, which I thought was rude. I know I'm from 'Broady' (Broadmeadows, a working-class suburb in Melbourne's north-west), but why would you assume that?" she said with a laugh.
"I had just finished a challenge and a producer called me over. We were in head-high bushes in the jungle. I'm scared of snakes, and I thought she must have been going to tell me off, thinking I had stolen a Thermos of coffee from a cameraman or something.
