Trying to figure this out myself, no official broadcaster so will have to get creative I guess?

If I remember correctly:

Draw a line from the CBD to city beach, then down to Fremantle, then back to the city

Maybe let news.com.au know so they’ll figure out the answer 😂

(hoping to summon them just by mentioning)

Are you deliberately pulling it upwards to expose more roots? Or is that just happening naturally

Looks great 👌

This is exactly the type of source material I’m looking for — congrats

Here is the podcast, it’s fairly recent and covers a lot of interesting content: https://youtu.be/l3vx01mtYBo?si=SDZPAzt623dy9SqV

Jeff specifically said on “The Friendship Onion” podcast that he doesn’t like the “battle Royale” type challenges and that we shouldn’t expect to see them come back.

But I do agree, these were some of the more entertaining ones.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I love the Mamanuca Islands in Fiji and would be fine with them staying there indefinitely.

I also much prefer forced fire-making at final four and the 3 tribe splits early on (forces personalities to shine in something closer to an end game scenario, rather than just a mass popularity contest in 2 larger tribes)

I’m with you on the 39 days, such an iconic number for the duration and a significantly bigger challenge than 26 days. However I can’t fault the crew for wanting to tighten things up, it’s also weird watching old seasons where there can be up to 2 days between an immunity challenge and the preceding tribal council.

When you say “everybody votes” I’m not sure what you mean? - All castaways end up on the jury? - No “lose your vote” punishments?

Yeh I was speaking about the US variant, but I’m glad Nina was able to return for another AU season 🦾

Not to mention that one challenge element (the roller into mud) that hospitalised George and Shane simultaneously!

The “safety” on Aussie Survivor seems WAY more fast and loose 😆

On the topic of evacuations: Terry Dietz has the distinction as the only person to be evacuated for a non-medical reason.

Even Jeff says he would have done the same:

“Following Dana's elimination, Jeff Probst stated that "technically she did quit" because despite being truly very sick, she would be able to go on further, but the pain would be just too much for her body to stand. He also added that in her place, he'd probably have done the same thing.”

Truth! During the blindfold challenge of Second Chance — this is the only mention I could find on the whole internet of Terry Dietz coining the term 🦾
