Who has left Australian Survivor: Redemption?

Competing for an immunity necklace and a guaranteed spot in the final two, Loz was among the final three. Tasked with hanging on tree roots, the castaways balanced on very narrow pegs. Jackson collapsed after three hours.

“You know I’ve got you,” Loz told Caleb, regarding the vote at Tribal Council. “I need [the necklace] more than you do.”

Loz stepped down at hour four, which meant Caleb won the immunity necklace. Unfortunately, Loz believed she was safe from elimination given her “beautiful bond” with Caleb… She never saw his blindside coming.

Sally made it into the final four with fellow castaways Caleb, Loz, and Jackson. A spot in the grand finale was in her grasp, but Sally was voted out at Tribal Council.

Keeley almost pulled off a brilliant move to save herself. But Survivor knows no true alliance!

During the tribal, Sally pulled out her half of an idol, and Keeley pulled out the other. But Sally didn’t hand back both halves to Keeley… she handed back only one half as a “best friend charm.”

And just like that, Keeley was sent home.

Brooke has been one to watch on Survivor!

Her alliance with Keeley and Jackson was strong, until Keeley won individual immunity. “Oh my God, I can’t believe David is going to snuff me,” she said.

It just wasn’t meant to be for chatty Cameron! While his alliance with Sally, Loz and Caleb should have seen him further through the competition, his mistake was giving a reward to Keeley – who already been on a reward.

Simon’s sneaky ways caught up to him! The alliances were clear: Jackson, Simon, Brooke, and Keeley paired together against Caleb, Loz, Sally, and Cameron.

It was four against four, until Brooke suddenly flipped and voted for Simon at tribal council.

Ben had such a strong alliance with Jackson, before a shock betrayal! Simon unfortunately got in Jackson’s head before Ben’s last tribunal.

However, Ben wasn’t frustrated, saying, “If anyone voted me out, if anyone can do it and not make me salty, Jackson’s my boy. He can go all the way.”

After Mark’s departure, Keeley and Brook knew they were in trouble – so they made an impressive fake idol.

Meanwhile, Simon tried his hardest to form another alliance. Although his efforts were pointless, he did end up winning immunity. At the tribunal, Brooke presented her fake immunity while Keeley presented the real one, and they played their idols for each other. Unfortunately, this marked the end of Blanche’s journey on Australian Survivor.

Returning player and Australian Survivor legend, Mark Warnock, was finally taken out by his close ally, Caleb. Mark previously played in season nine Titans V Rebels, and he made all the way to the final three, but wasn’t chosen to go to the final tribal council as his resume was too strong.

Ahead of the season, he shared that he was back for redemption, but also vengeance. He took a commanding role this season. Seen by the newcomers as a savant of the game. However, Caleb was sick of being overlooked and underestimated and just being told what to do. He manipulated Ben and Mark to convince them that the other was targeting them. It worked, and both sides thought Caleb was solid when he was in fact the swing vote. He decided to vote for Mark, as he knew Mark’s resume was again too strong. So Mark is out and is the first member of the jury!

Rich swapped boardrooms for the beaches of Australian Survivor but kept his CEO status under wraps. However, his bargaining skills turned out to lead to his demise. For the most part, Rich straddled between the alliances. He was close with Simon and Mark at various times and went to the most tribal councils out of everyone and survived. However, his fatal flaw came in episode 14.

Simon won individual immunity, and Ben decided the time was ripe to vote out Mark. Rich then told Simon in the hopes that Simon would vote with him. However, Simon immediately told Brooke, who told Mark. At tribal council, Mark threatened Ben but then flipped the vote to Rich, whom he no longer trusted. Power move on Mark’s part and another notch for his resume.

You might recognise this newcomer from ABC’s Portrait Artist of the Year, who painted Ken Done in the series’s premiere episode.

Despite losing her number one ally, Aisha, Lottie was in a very strong position at merge. Conversely, Keeley appeared to be at the bottom. Or so it seemed.

After Jackson didn’t win individual immunity, Lottie planned to vote him out. However, Keeley pointed out how powerful Lottie was becoming. This worried Mark and Simon. So they agreed to use their influence to flip and vote out Lottie. And it worked.

Chef and mother of five children (four of whom she homeschools), Faith was a force to be reckoned with. She quickly formed a strong alliance with returning player Mark Warnock and newcomer Keeley. She and Keeley also formed a Wise Women alliance with fellow newcomer Sally Foord.

These strong alliances set her up for success in the game, and that, coupled with her strength and shrewd mind, could have taken her far. However, she had a frank conversation with Mark about how she wouldn’t take him to the end because he would beat her. He was already feeling paranoid in the lead-up to the merge, and this set him over the edge. He conspired with tribemates Rich and Caleb (who Faith had wanted to get rid of for ages) to vote her out.

In her final tribal council, she voted for her ally, Sally, and it ended up being a revote as they drew for the most votes. Only Mark, Rich, and Caleb could vote, and they could only vote for Sally or Faith. All three voted for Faith, sending her home and leaving Mark in a stronger position ahead of merge.

Aisha was riding high on a strong alliance with Lottie and Cameron on her Barren tribe post-swap. However, unbeknownst to them, Simon had flipped and formed a new alliance with Brooke, Jackson, Ben, and Loz. After intentionally throwing the challenge, Aisha had her sights firmly on Brooke. She and Blanche also found an idol, so they were doubly sure that they were safe and that Brooke was going home. However, Brooke had an idol, and it didn’t even matter because her alliance targeted Aisha, sending her home.

Tez came in as a Survivor superfan who was hoping to use his deep knowledge of the game to his advantage.

“Knowing the game is going to give me a huge edge in Survivor because I know the different strategies. I know what moves need to be made,” he said ahead of the show. However, although he wanted to make moves, he just couldn’t make it happen.

He tried to form alliances with his tribemates, but his tendency to call people out at tribal council made them wary of including him in secret alliances or moves. In the end, that was his downfall. His tribemates couldn’t trust him to stay on message and couldn’t take the risk that he would join another side after merge. So, he had to go.

Lyndl was a target in her original Bounty tribe. She was frequently at the bottom of the tribe’s pecking order. However, earlier in the season, she flipped the vote against her (unbeknownst to her) to Eliza after she informed everyone that Eliza was sharing alliance secrets with her. Eliza’s actions got her booted from the tribe and Lyndl took credit (even though it was Paula who drove that vote). Afterwards, Jackson was keen to vote Lyndl out (Eliza was his number one). However, tribe swap happened just in time to keep her safe.

In the new Bounty tribe, Lyndl felt comfortable with her new tribemates. So comfortable that she didn’t realise that they weren’t planning on keeping her around! In episode 8, Keeley, Faith, and Mark decided on a split vote between her and Rich. Lyndl was the main target, but they needed a backup in case she used her idol. She didn’t, and she was sent home.

Brother of Survivor legend, Mat Rogers, aka The Godfather, Don, came onto the show with a lot of energy. He initially rubbed his tribemates the wrong way by taking charge around the camp, micromanaging the tribe’s survival from building the shelter to building fires. There was also the choice to hide his Survivor relation. He told his tribe that his name was Don Roberts and shared his real name with only Mark…until the next day when he announced it. His choice to hide his name was a confusing one, and it didn’t go down well. His tribe mostly thought it was silly.

However, he started a secret “corn chip” alliance with Mark, Tez, and Caleb. Mark was keen to use Don as a number all the way to merge. However, Don kept copping votes at Tribal Council. Finally, it was his alliance with Mark that got him in the end. Mark tried to control the vote again, and Keeley had had enough; she flipped the vote to get rid of Don, weakening Mark and setting herself and her “Wise Women” alliance up for success. Sorry, Don, we only just got to know you!

Barren broke their winning streak, heading back to tribal council for only the second time this season. Johnson has been attempting to play a big game, but unfortunately for him, he tried to take on returning player Mark Warnock, who has come back to redeem his past mistakes. He and Johnson clocked each other’s games, and Johnson attempted to smooth-talk Mark, who let him believe they were on the same side, while telling his other allies to go for him in the vote.

In the end, his Big Brother social skills just didn’t cut it on Australian Survivor.

The great Dirty Harry, the liar, manipulator, and three-time player, was again defeated in a masterful gameplay. After losing his ride-or-die in the previous episode (Paula), Harry was very much exposed. As a returning player, he was already a threat and then made some big moves with Paula, which also put him in many people’s firing range.

He attempted a diabolical plan. He rightly realised he and Jackson were at the bottom, and even though he could have survived the vote, he decided he wanted to have some fun. So, Harry stole the flint. He said to Jackson that they should essentially blackmail the tribe and say that one of them has the flint in their pocket. Therefore, it’s a 50/50 shot to send it home with one of them. He gave the flint to Jackson to keep, believing that he was in for fun. Jackson shared Harry’s plan at the tribal council. Furthermore, Harry announced that he and Jackson were going to vote for Rich, encouraging the rest to also vote for him. He even tried to convince visiting tribemate Caleb to vote for him.

However, Harry didn’t count on Jackson’s moral compass. Jackson gave an impassioned speech saying that he wouldn’t blackmail them and wouldn’t manipulate them. With Jackson, what you see is what you get. He revealed that he had the flint and handed it to Simon. Seeing the writing on the wall, Harry took a minute after he voted to take in his surroundings. When the votes were counted, he received the most. Simon tearfully hugged him goodbye, and Harry himself shed a tear or two in his goodbye footage. Bye, Dirty Harry.

Unfortunately for Paula, she and her tribemate and ally, Harry, played too hard too soon. After manoeuvring the vote to Eliza on the prior episode, she was hoping to get Lyndl out on the next vote. However, after Lottie reveals to Jackson that Paula was the one who pushed Eliza’s name forward, he shifts his focus to Paula. Elsewhere, Lottie convinced Simon to flip after Aisha shared that Paula said she would vote for Simon.

When it came down to tribal council, Paula and Harry were blindsided as the majority of the tribe voted her out, leaving Dirty Harry exposed for the next elimination…

Eliza was the first blindside of the season! The writer, director and performer had developed a strong alliance with pro-wrestler Jackson. However, some in the cast saw her as a threat and wanted Jackson in their alliance. She got wind of this and understood that she and Lyndl were at the bottom of the tribe. Lyndl woke up in the middle of the night because of the rain, and Eliza was awake.

Eliza told her that the tribe was targeting the two of them, which unsettled Lyndl, but she didn’t believe it, and she wasn’t able to sleep for the rest of the night (before an immunity challenge). It annoyed Lyndl that Eliza did that. She told the rest of the tribe, and they agreed to vote her out for meddling.

Jackson and Eliza had no idea and were completely blindsided.

Cat was hoping that the skills she honed on The Traitors New Zealand would serve her well on Australian Survivor. However, Mark watched her season and clocked her strategy and manoeuvred the vote to send her home in the second tribal council of the season.

No one wants to be the first, but unfortunately for preacher Daniel, his tribe decided unanimously to oust him from the show.

After winning the first reward challenge in their newly formed tribe, Daniel and his castaways were riding high. Unforunately they lost the immunity challenge, and although Rich was the initial target (it seemed people didn’t appreciate his Shakerpeasren sonnet recital), Daniel ended at the bottom of the tribe. Sadly, he appeared too excited and was “terrible with names” and made the rest of the tribe nervous to work with him going forward.

Perhaps prophetically, ahead of him coming onto the show, Daniel said to Channel 10: “I’m an absolute social butterfly. I can chat to anyone. I love talking. And I’m probably going to get myself into trouble because I talk too much.”
