It's crazy that we have two Survivor All-Stars going on in the world right now, but Australia's is by far superior.

The first week was insane, but the second weeks episodes were definitely more subtle. I was sad to see Henry go so soon. I hope there's a tribe swap or something coming up however.

 

If I had to pick it right now, it's going to be a player like AK/Mat/Nick or Harry. They seem to know when the right time to strike is.

How Harry has stepped up his game so well from his last season is impressive.

I'm even liking Lockie 100x more than his previous season.

 

The rest of Aussie RTV I can take a pass on. MKR is pretty much unwatchable, I don't know why I haven't just ditched this show already.

I haven't given Married at First Sight a shot yet either.

Normally I don't care much for tribe swaps, but that was really needed. Really freshened up the game.

 

ShoneeGodess saving this season and taking out Abbey was amazing. Abbey was REALLY starting to get on my nerves

Australian Masterchef is an allstars!!!

 

Back to win - some good cooks in there too - even though the judges have gone, has made me hyped!!

Married At First Sight is WILD, we have a version here in the UK but it's a bit of a damp squib - it's just so much better in Aus.

BEST NEWS TODAY.

There's definitely some heavy hitters in that mix. Ben (the Ice Cream guy - UGH), CALLUM *.*, POH *.*, REECE *.*, REYNOLD *.*

What I don't get is why Andy is a judge. That's disappointing.

 

I kinda wish now they'd just thrown money at the judges for one last season. I think All Stars would look significantly different if Matt/George and Gary stuck around for one last season. You can assume many probably declined knowing they had left, out of a sign of respect.

I'll have to catch up. I haven't seen any of the franchise, but I've seen a few clips of the last AU Season. I have it ready to watch, just, haven't had the time.

Maybe I'll get drunk one weekend and try to catch up on this season.

Shame to see John out but I suppose if I had to choose him or Matt I’d say Matt now tbh, really hope he makes it to merge. Phoebe had two absolutely amazing back to back episodes there but man I need her to go now :lol: She basically made an enemy of herself by blowing $500 on herself at the auction then parading around. She expects David to protect her but tbh he could have a better ally (at least for now) in Moana that will pay off once they merge.

 

Flick so far has had 0 confessionals btw, less than Shane (who was voted out in episode 1) who had 5. Her commentary on Twitter is hilarious though she’s taking the absolute piss out of it :lol: I’m glad she sees it in good spirit, hopefully a sign that she doesn’t get voted out too soon and actually has some screen time. She did get a few scenes last night though, although according to Harry on reddit there was a lot more going on than we were shown.

 

I understand Survivor has to edit heaps of content out to be able to fit the time slot and still tell a story but mannnn. The behind the scenes commentary on Twitter and reddit really tells you a lot about how things go down behind the scenes and I must say I 100% never want to go on Survivor.

 

My ideal Top 3 right now surprisingly includes David; I didn’t like him at all last season but he’s really grown on me. It’s a huge shame that there’s all the chance that he’ll be targeted at merge as he was the mole in the original tribe and was found

Out (off screen). Harry deserves to win his game right now is going smoothly - he knows what he’s doing and is doing it well. He has great allies in Shonee and Nick (who will make merge) and gets along really well with basically everyone else. After her takedown of Abbey AND Lydia I feel like Shonee would have a great shot at the final tribal council, as would Nick. The entire little rascals :lol: Adopted member Flick deserves more too

I dunno; some of those contestants are those who have had association with the show; Poh, Chris, Callum etc have been on AllStars and Reynold etc has returned a huge amount of times. If any of them were to say no out of loyality, I would've expected it to be Callum, Chris and Poh (the latter in particular given how frequent she is a guest these days).

 

The only one of recent years who I expected to be there is the awful Matt Sinclair... and the much pushed Prince Harry lookalike. However I'm so glad Harry from Series 8 is there - was my fave that year!

 

In fact so many of my faves are there; Callum, Reynold, Harry, Brendan, Hayden, Dani and Hayden.

 

The only complaint for me is that it a bit Season 10 heavy. Rose has first out written all over her though! But its nice to see every season covered! Although technically Callum is already a 'winner' as he won the other Allstars series - but I guess technically he didn't actually win anything :D

I agree with you on Poh, she stands out as a sore thumb on that point really.

I'm an episode behind on Australian Survivor Allstars but damn this shit is amazing.

Where the f*** did Moana come from. She's been playing the best for a few episodes now. Hot damn.

I'm starting to go off David a bit however.

 

The Lockie boot to me was obvious, I saw that it was announced that he was the next Australian Bachelor. So, obviously knew his boot was aired. But, good for him. He completely redeemed himself for me.

Out (off screen). Harry deserves to win his game right now is going smoothly - he knows what he’s doing and is doing it well. He has great allies in Shonee and Nick (who will make merge)

 

:kink: but I completely agree with you. Nick and Matt were my picks for Final 2. I really thought they'd be able to get out of their holes and dominate.

Shonee however has completely surprised me. I hope she makes it to Family/Friends visit and her visit is from Fenella <3

 

I'm giving Married At First Sight a shot for the first time, ever, starting with this AU Season.

Really great so far! I'm not sure if I understand the entire premise of the show, but I'm riding the wave for now.

Great to see very little stunt casting. Ivan however is just. Ugh.

Just onto Episode 5.

@MKR: I don't understand why Colin got to steal a team. End these stupid twists and remind yourselves THIS IS A COOKING SHOW. Why are they even in teams in the first place. WHEN DOES MASTERCHEF START?

I'm at the episode where they get their letters from home and I f***ing LOST IT on Moana's letter. I forgot about her sister... Her wife is stunning.

But Moana's edit is TOO GOOD to believe. She won't win. She will go soon (if she's not out already).

 

And then Lee got his news about his mom..... WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS TO ME. I don't think I've seen an RTV show handle that so beautifully.

 

SURVIVOR ALLSTARS AUSTRALIA YOU'VE BROKEN ME. One of my top ten RTV episodes ever by far.

MKR: Again, disappointing season thus far.. but Jake/Elle's Final Instant Restaurant was *.*. 98/100 is an unbelievable score. I'm so happy for them!

I would also love to have a Dan/Steph & Jake/Elle Final 2 AGAIN. Their season I think was one of the first I watched, and actually was when MKR was at it's height. Having those two compete again would be amazing to watch and I think would be an incredible final.

 

They should rest the show after this season. It hasn't been about the cooking for a LONG time now.

If not, I'll have to ditch the show next year. Married at First Sight has caught my attention.

Masterchef Australia starts Monday, April 13th.

End of MKR: Won't flog a dead horse. The best two episodes were Jake/Elle's Final Instant Restaurant (98/100) and the Final. Great result, the rest of the season was a hot mess.

 

The End of Australian Survivor Allstars: *.* this is not the Top 3 I expected when this season first started.

This started off STRONG but I think took a turn around the John/Matt/Phoebe votes. I didn't expect for the strong competitors to drop off so quickly. The end game also wasn't the best with such a strong alliance dominating. I wanted them to play a little bit more messy, but at the same time, proud they stuck together.

 

Moana I've raved about since this started, but I'm not sure if she will win at the end. Her gameplay was amazing, but I don't think the others really saw all the moves she's made and Moana isn't the most articulate either. You can see a lot of her confessionals are really pieced together. The edit is strong for Moana, so it could mean the Jury is in the dark with a lot of things.

 

Sharn I don't see winning at all, but I do see her in the Final 2. I'm just not sure if they Jury will give it to her, unless she has an amazing speech (which she very-well could!) or if the jury is bitter. However, I think the jury could be bitter towards Sharn. She was the low-hanging fruit and didn't make the bold moves the Jury wanted.

 

Dave is such the clear pick, but he was playing Moana's game. I hope Moana can find a way of articulating that. Dave I loved last year, but I loved Dave because he was the underdog. Dave wasn't the underdog this season.

 

Either way, we are in for an epic final. It's such a shame that because of COVID-19, we won't get a live final. This season deserved it.

 

The Future: both The Block and The Bachelor have halted production. I'm assuming we also aren't going to get that rumoured Big Brother season either. Masterchef is back in a few weeks. I'm trying to find out of Survivor Australia Season 8 was filmed, it's supposed to air from October - December.

I’m 99% sure filming of next season is delayed for survivors, I saw something about it last week but lost the link. They were due to start filming the new season basically as soon as the live final aired but obviously their plans changed

 

There’s no way David doesn’t win. He has a very strong chance of winning the FIC as neither Mo or Sharn have been challenge threats this season. He recognises Mo’s game has been strong so I think he would take Sharn to FTC - however at the same time he has played an amazing social game so even against another threat I believe he can easily talk his way to a win. Sharn has been a complete mess this whole season, blunder after blunder and her complete refusal to make any kind of decision for herself has been noticed by literally everyone on the jury. There’s a few instances that she could claim as “moves” but more than anything it’s literally just her refusal to flip on her alliance. She could talk up a storm at FTC but still end up being rained on. The thing is with Sharn is that she has been stupid enough to believe that she can win against David at the end. She’s has countless opportunities to vote by far the biggest threat in the game out yet blantantly said “David is my shield”. Like seriously Sharn you have 0 chance against him.

 

Moana could potentially win if she wins the final immunity. She is smart enough not to bring Dave with her, and she clearly said last episode that David is the biggest threat and she knows he will beat anyone when it comes to jury votes. Her best bet is to win the immunity and take Sharn, votewise I reckon she could have anywhere between a landslide win and maybe losing 2-3 votes one being AK. Either way Sharn does NOT win this season. I’m not even bothered by the fact she’d place 2nd twice. If anything it’s deserved tbh, thats what you get for cruising through the entire game. Her outside friendship with Moana has definitely helped her get this far

 

David wins 9-0 or Mo wins 7-2

 

David v Mo in the FTC (very unlikely) I could potentially see a David 7-2 or 8-1 win if not 9-0

 

 

Well. David won. Good on him, he deserved it. But wow, they really snubbed Moana at the reunion. Is my fascination of her completely made up? I think she's amazing.

He deserved it, he played a brilliant game. But I would have loved to have known what would have happened in a Moana VS Dave Final 2.

 

That finale was weird tho.
