OMG Mumbrella, can you please use another image next time? You have totally spoiled the episode for me as well. And you have done this so many times in the past…

Hi Jack,
Thanks for pointing this out and I will take note of this next time. However I did hear the challenge in last night’s episode was one of the best, so I won’t spoil that one for you.
Cheers,
Abigail – Mumbrella.
As Survivor goes along, the strategies and alliances become deeper and more complex – which makes for better viewing. It’ll be interesting to see if viewing numbers pick up and whether channel 10 commits to a series on 2019. (If they do, please no celebs!!)

Ten has reason to be proud.
I thought I’d never save this, but Ten’s Australian Survivor surpasses CBS’ Survivor in all aspects that I can think of.
Well done to all involved.
