The theme of the upcoming season of Australian Survivor?

Rivals.

If memory serves me right, that concept was pitched on #RHAP; might've been Rob specifically. Sounds like someone on the #SurvivorAU team has been listening 😏

It would be kind of interesting if they had the stakes of only one of each rival pair allowed to make a 12-person merge, but I think that would neuter gameplay. I hope they can find some fun way to utilize the theme a bit. Regardless, I'm excited for a new location. #SurvivorAU

Is a Rivals theme for newbies who don’t know each other silly? Yes. Could a cast of public figures be concerning? Sure. But to defend #SurvivorAU, many seasons have worked in spite of stupid themes, & they’ve cast many riveting famous people. Their quality level earns them the benefit of the doubt.

I am declaring him my nemesis. Rival, if you will. #SurvivorAU

Me when three people in the TvR cast had cast pics with a hand near their head in their official cast pic:

"I don't care what the photographer says, your hand messes up your head shot. Please don't do that."

This #SurvivorAU guy: "I'll see you in hell."

On the other hand, I actually am happy/grateful that #SurvivorAU finally had a full cast reveal with names, ages, and approximate locations. At last! (I hope it's not the last.)

I'm impressed that #SurvivorAU found a way to make a full third of the cast (semi-) pro athletes. Who can forget the scintillating contributions of Simon Black and Gavin Wanganeen?

If you don't know them before playing, are they really your rival? Maybe #SurvivorAU: Doppelgangers is the more appropriate title

Holy crap, they actually used it! #SurvivorAU

It's a low bar, but Rivals is most #SurvivorAU has mixed it up for a season title on the logo. Maybe they even used it on location...but I'm not holding breath.

So excited for Kate 🎉💪♥️ a passionate #Survivor super fan, smart, strong, incredible person, mom and friend #SurvivorAU
