The challenges look super low-budget and the cast is almost entirely white which is weird, but it's entertaining in a messy way.

The challenges look fine, I think it emulates the US version extremely well. It has a nice feel and I'm throughly enjoying this season. As good as some of my top 10 favourite US seasons, obviously with a few exceptions. At first I thought the extra time and contestants would be a bad thing, but the best thing about the Aus version is the 3 episodes a week. I'm loving it rn.

maybe that's because it's in line with the country's population not everything is racist sis

So far I think it's been pretty great actually. It doesn't feel like you're watching some B-grade, half-baked rip off, it feels like actual Survivor. I'm interested to see how they're going to last the extended duration though...

That joint tribal council with Vavau and Saanapu was SUCH a mess. My family were screaming throughout the whole thing.

OMG! Considering Australia had my favorite version of Big Brother (RIP ) I have GOT to watch this!

Kat

Kat is a legend. She's coming for Rohan next week.

Oh good, I'm not the only one rooting for Kat. She was done dirty by Aganoa, hopefully she can pick them off one by one, starting with Rohan and Phoebe.

Phoebe is serving mini Parvati. I like her.

I need Jennah-Louise to slap Nick. OMG, I hate Nick

Saanapu is so strong right now.

Sam & Lee are like greek god.

Matt & Nick are like puzzle god

And Kylie, Flick & Brooke are like strongest female in term of physical challenges.

Any way to watch this outside of the country?

Love this show. Brooke, Flick, and Kat

Nah, Phoebe can stay and go the distance. She's my favorite one for sure.

Also, Sue is such a surprise for me because she's such a lowkey great character.

Just finished ep 2, absolutely loving it. It's like the US version but without the cringeworthy stereotypical characters, the over the top camera whoring, and Jeff (who can be annoying).

I'm rooting for Sam and Conner, first and foremost, but also Flick, Brooke, Kylie, Lee, Rohan, and Nick. So many likable people!

Last episode was crazy.

I'm so happy Phoebe stayed, although I'm worried for her in the next couple episodes. I'm just gonna have to hope that Kat really ****s up sometime before they go to another tribal (if they go back).

RIP Rohan, the eye candy of the season.

I wanted to watch this because I absolutely loved BBAUS until I saw the cast was huge and I thought it would last forever taking away too much from my free time, which is not much. Is this fast-paced? Is it worth it?
