Survivor horror as contestants hospitalised (NEWS.com.au)

The latest season of Australian Survivor started disastrously for one team on Monday night, with a brutal first-episode challenge that sent two contestants ...

I think a lot of people thought, ‘Oh my god, if two people go over that challenge at the same time – and they both end up in hospital – what’s going to happen to me?’” We all saw what happened, but then we had to continue on with the challenge after that, which really gave people the heeby-jeebys. I was pretty surprised,” Rao told news.com.au of her elimination.

Villains' rookie mistake on Australian Survivor | TV Tonight (TV Tonight)

Villains will be villains but host Jonathan LaPaglia explains why a Survivor tribe made a fairly dumb move.

They can rotate people in and out and rest people. But in true villainous style, they decided to go ahead with it and get rid of Anjali,” he told TV Tonight. We’re doing challenges every single day, so it kind of catches up with you.

Mariana Loizaga recaps all the action from the season premiere of Australian Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains.

Or, as Anjali said, who will be the next pancake to be thrown in the bin? As mentioned earlier, the blindside arrives, as Jonathan gives the tribe the option to either read the votes and lose another person or for the tribe to remain as it is. All in all, it’s not looking good for any returnee nor newbie Anjali, as all of them face being the first Villain to have their torch snuffed. Luckily for Hayley, newbie Rogue Rubin is looking to be a perfect new target as she’s seen trying to one-up everyone on the tribe and even goes as far as asking her tribemate Shaun Hampson, from Champions vs. The challenge isn’t paused even though Jackie’s injury does look serious, and the Heroes start to pull ahead, eventually winning immunity and their second challenge in a row. Shonee is, of course, worried that she will be targeted next in George’s absence, so she sticks with her previous gameplay of having a number one ally who she trusts the most. At the Villains beach, the tribe starts to build their shelter with the help of Simon Mee, who played before in Brains vs. On day 2, the Villains are looking miserable as they haven’t been able to make fire. The architect of Simon’s previous demise, George, is one of those people, as he’s started to create bonds that will help him go further in the game, mainly with Jackie Glazier from Champions vs. That season had it all: an all-star cast; strong challenges as well as twists; an unpredictable boot order; the first-time two-time winner in the Survivor franchise, and most importantly, it had the perfect balance of old-school Survivor while providing fresh and entertaining nuances that paved the way for the franchise to carry on into what became the modern Survivor era. Much like its US predecessor, the first challenge showed how both tribes relied on their respective namesake in how to play the game, at least when it comes to the challenges so far. Villains](https://insidesurvivor.com/best-season-rankings-no-2-heroes-vs-villains-47545) premiered in the US and gave Survivor fans one of the best seasons to date.

The Traitors: 10 Survivor Castaways Who Should Go On The Show (Screen Rant)

The Traitors have already used some former Survivor legends, but which other castaways should go and try their luck on the new Peacock show?

She also has a bit of an abrasive side, as viewers saw in Heroes vs Villains, so she would not be afraid to get into a rout with another cast member if the situation called for it. It would not matter what side she was on, as she would do whatever she needed to win the money. Plus, she had a slight temper, which can cause some dramatic and entertaining tension between her and other castmates, as one of her most memorable moments was when she threw Russell's hat in the fire after they had been going back and forth all season. He would know how to navigate any situation he would find himself in and observing him work over his other castmates would be amusing to watch. If she were on The Traitors, she would walk in there trying to raise hell. She would be extremely paranoid of everyone, making for a great watching experience for the viewer. He has the ability to sleuth out anyone who is not telling the truth, so he could be a valuable member of the Faithful. [Tony being utterly chaotic on Survivor](https://screenrant.com/survivor-tony-vlachos-most-chaotic-player/) is when he made multiple spy shacks across all of his seasons to spy on other people. Michelle Fitzgerald was the winner of Survivor: Kaôh Rōng and she later made it to the final tribal council on Winners at War but received zero votes. He would automatically be assumed to be a traitor because of his resume, which would be cool to see him get out of that situation when everyone's pointing at him. Both of the games are inherently based on lying and deceiving other cast members, so former Survivor castaways should have an upper hand, as they had to outwit, outplay, and outlast their tribemates on the island. [Survivor](http://screenrant.com/tag/survivor) players on [The Traitors](https://screenrant.com/tag/the-traitors/), other previous castaways should think about testing their luck on the show.

The US version of Survivor airs just one one-hour episode per week, for a grand total of 14 episodes her season. Yes, I am a nanna, but after 9pm I like to be in bed reading a good book (ok, fine, mindlessly scrolling Instagram). Last season ran to a mammoth 37 episodes across three months. I could watch Avatar: The Way of Water twice in that time. And all three are on again tonight, tomorrow and Sunday, with all episodes again running well past the 90-minute mark. With ratings season back in full swing, last night each of the three commercial networks launched their reality TV offerings for the first quarter of the year.
