Chrissy Zaremba

**Christina "Chrissy" Zaremba** is a contestant from *Australian Survivor: Blood v Water*.

Entering *Blood v Water* proclaiming little knowledge about the game, Chrissy leveraged her social game to integrate herself with her Water tribe. At the tribe switch, her loyalty to Jesse Hansen caused her to suffer a brutal blindside when she lost her partner Croc Crocker, but she was able to regroup and enter a solid majority post-merge. Chrissy's unwavering allegiance to her allies Josh Millgate and Mark Wales was seen as passivity; as a result, despite her agreeable and charming personality, Chrissy failed to earn any jury votes in the series' first Final Three.

## Profile

**Retrieved from 10play.com.au**

**Chrissy, 42, Teacher**

While Chrissy may not have a lot of Survivor knowledge, she is playing with Croc to keep his dream of being part of the game alive.
Although she may not be a superfan, Chrissy is confident and competitive and wants to prove to her kids that she can do anything and to inspire them to do the same in their lives.
**What is your Survivor game plan?**
To be known but not feared in any way. To sit in the middle pack and observe. To potter away cleaning and socialising but to be listening in on all around me, I need to be the mother hen. Mothers can be trusted, right?
**Have you done any training or planning before starting?**
Ha! No. I joined back at the gym when I found out I was selected. It's not ideal.

Extra Vote

The **Extra Vote** is an advantage that is occasionally available to castaways. It allows players to vote twice in one Tribal Council.

## Overview

Its owner may vote for another player twice or vote for two separate people. It will be counted as any other vote, and may still be nullified by a Hidden Immunity Idol.

## History

### *Australian Survivor: All Stars*

On Day 15, Mokuta won the Reward Challenge, and among winning a grazing plate, were told three keys were hidden at their camp that would each open a box with an advantage in it. Nick Iadanza found one of the keys first and opened the box, revealing the Extra Vote, and only told close ally Phoebe Timmins. At the Day 24 Tribal Council, Nick used the advantage to cast two votes for Moana Hope in an attempt to save Phoebe, which resulted in a 5-5 tie. However, this was in vain as Phoebe was sent home in a 5-2 split.

## Trivia

* As of *Australian Survivor: Heroes v Villains*, Nick Iadanza is the only player to receive and use an Extra Vote.
Blood

* Day 22

**Blood** is a tribe from Template:S. Their tribe color is red.

Matt Farrelly

**Matt Farrelly** is a contestant from *Australian Survivor: Champions v Contenders* (2019).

A fierce competitor and one of the strongest men in the game, Matt only went to Tribal Council four times. However, Matt was relegated to the minority when he and Harry Hills failed to get the Champions to turn on one another. After Harry played an idol and caused a tie between Matt and Pia Miranda, Matt was voted out on the revote.

**Highschool Teacher/Pro Wrestler, 29**

Strategic, cocky and a self-professed, "21st Century Success Story," Matt has applied for *Survivor* before but now has his moment taking on the Champions saying; "I'm an uncrowned Champion ready to prove myself."

While he might play hard on his pro wrestling persona, there's a definite soft side to Matt who knows how to look after people and make them feel comfortable thanks to his teaching history. He's also previously been a lifeguard at Disneyworld and a camp counsellor.

Matt wants to try playing the game with integrity and not lying point blank to people's faces but also knows you have to play hard to win big saying; "People respond to someone who played the game well and made moves, even if they were voted off. It is how to ensure you play with a good strategy to get votes at the end.

"I know I can win this. And I want to be at that Final Tribal Council with someone who I can beat easily, which I'll have already done by beating all worthy competitors."

Sarah Ayles

**Sarah Ayles** is a contestant from *Australian Survivor: Champions v Contenders* (2019).

Entering the game wanting to prove herself, Sarah often fell flat in the water challenges due to her past experience as a tsunami survivor. Despite this, the Contenders' early success and Sarah's likability helped her get to the tribe swap. Here, upon being switched to the Champions tribe, Sarah was on the receiving end of Sam Schoers' blindside. With Andy Meldrum turning on them, Sarah and ally Hannah Pentreath, were relegated to the bottom. Despite attempting to throw Andy under the bus, the new majority alliance considered Sarah to be the weakest, eliminating her in 17th place.

## Profile

**Cleaner, 45**

Ready to do it for all the mums out there, Sarah is a cleaner from South Australia and a real-life Survivor.

In 2004, Sarah survived the Boxing Day tsunami while in Sri Lanka. Not knowing what was happening until it was too late, she jumped off a balcony and was dragged 800 metres away trying to hold on to anything she could. She eventually was grabbed and pulled onto a roof.

"Surviving the tsunami in Sri Lanka and turning out relatively normal afterwards has probably been the hardest thing I've ever had to overcome. The nightmares were terrible and having to face my responsibilities at the time whilst appearing confident and competent were some of the toughest moments of my life."

Mum of two and married for over 10 years, Sarah has taken the hard times and turned them around hoping to inspire people to live their lives to the full saying; "By doing *Survivor*, I want to prove to myself, my kids and family and anyone over 40 that anything is possible if you believe in yourself and love yourself.

"I hopefully will show people the joy and wonders of life that can be gained if we take risks when we get off our bums and out of the comfort zone."

Split Vote

A **split vote** is a strategy employed in *Survivor* by alliances at Tribal Council, in an attempt to avoid one of their own being voted out by the use of a Hidden Immunity Idol. The strategy involves the alliance(s) casting an equal or near-equal number of votes on two different members of an opposing alliance or individual targets, theoretically ensuring that one of them is voted out regardless of whom the idol is played on. In order for the split vote to work, the alliance must control two-thirds of the votes at Tribal Council, or correctly play a Hidden Immunity Idol such that they will gain said majority.

## Throwaway Vote

Another voting strategy related to the split vote is the throwaway vote. Even before the threat of Hidden Immunity Idols were put in the game, some castaways cast a throwaway vote (usually against their allies if they are in the minority) in order to divert votes against themselves to someone that could likely also get votes. It could also be used as a strategy on seasons with the past votes tiebreaker, in order to add votes to a particular castaway when the main target already had enough votes against them, that could be used for future Tribal Councils. Some throwaway votes, however, are used to prevent the effect of Hidden Immunity Idols, and are usually done impromptu when they vote without a clear plan before doing it.
Kate Campbell

**Kate Campbell** is a contestant from *Australian Survivor* (2016).

Wanting to play with integrity, Kate's loyal gameplay earned her the trust of her tribemates, and later became a part of the Vavau alliance. Despite losing several consecutive Immunity Challenges, Kate was able to scrape by, heading into the merge with very few allies. After one of her closest allies, Conner Bethune was voted out, Kate tried to gather the "good guys" to send the untrustworthy Nick Iadanza home. However, the plan to overthrow the majority was spilled, and Kate was ultimately sent home.

## Profile

**Age:** 28
**Occupation:** Financial Analyst
**State:** WA

Straight-talking, resilient and inspiring, Kate is a financial analyst who is training to be a yoga instructor.

Physically strong and emotionally tough, Kate takes part in triathlons and finds her yoga helps her both mentally and physically to stay in peak condition. "My body is my greatest asset. It's been to hell and back but now I'm fitter than ever."

Kate was involved in a horrific boating accident when she was 19. She went through 10 hours of emergency surgery and her parents were told her chances of survival were a million to one. Ten days later, she awoke from a coma with extensive injuries and had to learn to walk, talk and eat again.

Over the next five years, Kate went through another 10 surgeries. While the accident nearly killed her, Kate says it made her stronger. "I've always been determined but my accident made me more so and it's made me forever grateful to still be gracing this earth and to appreciate all the beauty in the little things in life, to see things in a positive light and realise life is too short."

In 2013, she published her memoirs and is involved in motivational speaking. Kate also loves to challenge herself and does something positive each year on the anniversary of her accident. She also competed in a halfironwoman competition.

She says her good qualities are her honesty, openness and determination but she also admits she can be stubborn and opinionated. "My mouth doesn't have a filter, I don't tend to think before I speak."

Double Elimination

The **Double Elimination** is a game-changing twist that forces a tribe to vote out multiple contestants at one Tribal Council. A Double Elimination is different from a Double Tribal Council in several ways: it is not always revealed beforehand, individual immunity is not always offered, and only one tribe is involved in a Double Elimination. In this way, two members of one tribe go home consecutively.

## Appearances

### *Australian Survivor: Blood v Water*

In Episode 17, two votes were held, both to send a player to Purgatory. On the first vote, the votes were split 8-1 between Jordie Hansen and Sam Gash; Jordie did not participate in the second vote. On the second vote, the votes were split 4-2-1-1 between KJ Austin, Mark Wales, David Goodchild and Sam Gash. As a result, Jordie and KJ were sent to Purgatory to later fight for their spot back in the game.

"I love my family more than anything. Leaving them is going to be the hardest part of this whole experience for sure. I believe I can handle the game, I can handle the physical challenges and I think I'll get along with everyone as well but not having contact with my family is going to be very, very tough."

Vote Steal

## *Survivor* Gameplay

### Description

The ability to cast two votes at a single Tribal Council, while preventing another player from voting

### Appearances

*Champions v Contenders* (2018)

The **Vote Steal** is an advantage that is occasionally available to castaways. It allows players to steal another castaway's vote to vote twice in one Tribal Council.

## Overview

A variant of the Extra Vote, the Vote Steal is a more powerful version of the advantage, allowing a castaway to prevent another from voting and use that castaway's ballot as their own. The castaway that uses the advantage can vote for one person twice or for two separate people, including the castaway whose vote was stolen. In addition, the vote may still be nullified by a Hidden Immunity Idol. Unlike with the standard Extra Vote, the use of the Vote Steal requires the player to state their intention *before* any votes are cast.

## Vote Steal at Revotes

Should a tie occur, the advantage user is able to steal their victim's vote at a revote, but only if the victim is eligible to vote on the revote.

## Twist History

### *Champions v Contenders* (2018)

At the Survivor Auction, a vote steal was put into play. It came with a jar of sweets, and Shonee Bowtell won these items by bidding her full allowance of $500. She used it at the Day 39 Tribal Council, using it to steal Sharn Coombes' vote and cast a second vote against her. This forced a 4-4 tie between Sharn and Benji Wilson, and with Sharn being ineligible to vote, Shonee could only vote once. Her stolen vote had no effect as Benji was voted out on the revote 5-1.

## Trivia

* The only time it has been used so far, it was unsuccessful in eliminating its intended target.
Hannah Pentreath

**Hannah Pentreath** is a contestant from *Australian Survivor: Champions v Contenders* (2019).

A more under-the-radar player, Hannah was consistently on the receiving end of several blindsides once swapped over to the Champions tribe. After losing their third Immunity Challenge, the remaining Contenders came together to attempt to blindside David Genat, but at Tribal Council, he played his Hidden Immunity Idol, and Hannah was eliminated after being stuck in a tie with Shaun Hampson.

## Profile

*Retrieved from 10play.com.au*

**Police Officer, 27**

Hannah is the first to admit her fellow contestants will put her in the "dumb, blonde" category, which she's fine with because she's planning to outwit them all.

Going in pretending to be a hairdresser, Hannah is going to keep the secret as long as she can that she's actually a Police Officer from Bendigo.

"Every day at work, I am out of my comfort zone and having to think on my feet, so I know I can win. I think this because everyone is going to overlook me because of my personality and assume I'm not there to play hard. I'll be the threat they don't see, right in front of them."

In order to give off the perception she's younger than she is, Hannah also plans to keep secret she's been married to her high school sweetheart, Zac, for nearly five years.

Hannah attributes being on the show to her husband saying; "I had never applied but my husband Zac wanted to, and I thought 'why not'? I've always loved watching *Survivor* and said if I ever had the chance, I would definitely go for it. I wasn't expecting to get in and my husband was extremely jealous!"

A *Survivor* superfan, Hannah loves a good blindside but is also terrified about it happening to her so she's hoping her social game will be strong enough to produce strong alliances and that her physical game will also surprise people.

Benjamin Law

**Benjamin "Ben" Law** is a contestant from *Australian Survivor: Heroes v Villains*.

Benjamin's apparent shiftiness alienated him from his fellow Heroes, preventing him from ever finding his footing in the game. Though he blindsided Sharni Vinson with a Hidden Immunity Idol, his decision to continue working with the Heroes after the tribe switch backfired when the Villains gained the majority on his new tribe. As the person least likely to play an idol, Benjamin was ousted by the Villains on Day 22.

## Profile

*Retrieved from 10play.com.au*

Ben is the ultimate slashie – author, broadcast journalist, writer and creator for the TV Series The Family Law, LGBTQIA+ advocate and Survivor super fan. He has been watching Survivor since he was a teenager and is coming into the game as a Hero saying, "Being a Hero is such an advantage. First of all, you're with a tribe whose heroic qualities are obvious whether it be the size of their brains, the size of their hearts, or the size of their courage. I also think it's an advantage as a new player coming in as a Hero because people are going to underestimate what you’re capable of doing."

Using his journalism skills to find out information and his natural warm nature to play a strong social game, Ben admits while he might not be the strongest, he's scrappy and hopes his follow platers won't see his game coming. And while he will go in with the heart of a Hero, Ben is also prepared to play a little dirty if he needs to. He says, "I hope I bring certain values into the game like integrity but at the same time, as a storyteller I want all the complexities and I know that villainous people are capable of heroic acts, and you might see the Heroes capable of very villainous moves too.

"There's part of me that obviously wants the Heroes to win, who doesn’t love seeing someone lift up their sword in victory."

5th RNYM Sharpshooters I, Reflection

#### 5th RNYM Sharpshooters, Sgt. Angelo DiDonato, Republic Radio

I'm from the city and I don't like it up here. Saratoga, Syracuse, Rochester. Wherever the hell they put me now, I don't pay attention to it. Farms and water, that's all it ever was to me. Oh, and you can't forget the college girls. God bless SUNY for that one.

I pull a cold bottle out from under my chair, Saratoga Lager, this stuff isn't quite as good as the hipster breweries I used to frequent, but at least there aren't so many mulignans up this way. Plenty, but nothing near Grand Concourse or Webster Avenue.

I press play; *"Here we are again on the hot muggy streets of New York!"* An overly enthusiastic voice blares over my thoughts. A smooth beat follows.

A small smile crests my face as I think back to my long weekends after school spent in Coney Island. My thick black hair would be stuck to my neck with sweat before I'd even gotten out of the car. One of my few memories that hadn't been erased by ash. This Radio DJ gig I landed to keep spirits up, reminded me of my college days, so I had to take it. The mixture of the cold beer and smooth music calmed my thoughts. I drifted off.

I reached for my gas mask and pulled tight the straps. I was up to my knees in ash. Alone, cold, and a storm was coming in. The wind began to blow ash around wildly. It was hard to stay standing against the strong gusts that were trying so hard to knock me down. I had to reach the light and then I would be safe. The ash was now waist high and the storm had grown even more wild, kicking up so much debris it was hard to see anything but the bright light in the distance. A rock spun through the wind and struck me in the mask, creating a miniscule crack. I could now taste the ash. I pushed harder through the ash, but the light seemed to pull away from me. The fleeting light made me shiver even more than I was. I could no longer see through the thick ash that covered my face. I stopped in place and furiously clawed at the mask to clear it, but it would not move. I watched, through my dim view, the thin crack crawl deeper to the edges of my visor. I accepted the end. The mask shattered with the crack of a lightning bolt and I let out a muffled scream before it was snuffed out under the ash.

A loud bang jumped me awake. All I saw was a dim light through a deep white. I had trouble breathing, I grasped at my face, a piece of paper covered my mouth, a cool breeze through an open window was the culprit. It was dark now. I looked all about, the office where I operated my station was littered with paper. The single light bulb that filled my room with a dim light hung limp. I looked to the left and seen my SKS had clattered to the ground. I wasn't back in the Ash, and I wouldn't be for a while

Ash Tusk

## **Description**

The ash tusk is a mutated, post-eruption boar. The fallen ash from Yellowstone altered the boar's behavior, causing them to create anthill like tunnels. The boar has a very strong, crystallized hide that can easily deflect 9mm rounds. The Ash Tusk has multitudes more tusks than the pre-eruption boar, mostly around the mouth area, but some also on the top of the head. These new beasts are incredibly larger than their post-apocalyptic counterparts. The bottom side of the boar, unlike the top hide, is soft and can easily be pierced.
Wolverine Man

## **Lore and Info**

The wolverine man is a man who was mentioned in a journal of a former raider. The wolverine man gets his name from his leather clothing, and knife blades that were cauterized into his skin. The only knowledge of the Wolverine Man is that he dismembered his victims, as he was found dead among his own victims in the attic of a house on an Indian reservation.
Villains

Villains is a tribe from Template:S.

Dysfunctional both at camp and in challenges, the Villains were a fractured unit from the start that seemed destined to be extinguished by their physically superior and more united counterparts. However, the Villains picked up new allies and overcame a 4-8 deficit under the leadership of George Mladenov to dominate the post-merge phase of the game. Their tribe color is purple.

The Whitelanders

The Whitelanders are those who inhabit the Whitelands, primarily survivors from the area, their descendants, and friends/ spouses acquired in from the Dakota Territories or the Great Lakes Coalition. Prior to the acquisition of the single religion, there used to non stop warfare among these people over hunting rights, now with a single unified task shared by the whitelanders as part of their religion, as well as the diminished population and related territory disturbances, war has nearly died out. However, the group wills till kill on site all non whitelanders, unless they are visiting nearby territories.

lifestyle

The whitelanders live exclusively in small groups of 12-30 individuals called culls. Religious fanatics, they are fiercely territorial towards outsiders in the whitelands, however while at trading posts outside of the whitelands, they are known to calm their aggression and are willing to socialize with non whitelanders. Within the whitelands, they will kill on site any non whitelander. They are a nomadic group, traveling to the northern most limits of the whitelands during the summer for hunting and the harvest of furs. during the winter they head to the southern limits, where they often trek to the Dakota territories, GLC, East Canada, or some of the southern areas of Alaska to trade the furs for goods the people cannot make themselves. During the winter, the whitelanders will find spouses at the trading posts from other culls or the citizens of the visited territory. Women are often found within the cull, however pregnant women or those with children are left behind in the culls chosen trading territory. Once the children are 6, they are picked up by the cull, and when the woman no longer has young children, she shall rejoin the cull. Pack horses are a very common sight amongst the whitelanders.

Religion

The whitelanders share a single universal religion, worshipping the "Cold Angel". A being of pure ice that ensures the longevity of the whitelanders in return for ensuring the "cleanliness" of the whitelands. In short, they kill any who does not share their religion found within the whitelands. this religion picked up 8 years post ash

Appearance

The whitelanders are usually found wrapped head to toe in the furs of game, usually cut and sewed into strips that are then wrapped around each limb individually, with a large whole fur draped on the back. As for their bodies, they have since become white, not pale, but white as the snow, with silver hair, and large muscled (an average 6'0 male will weigh north of 250 lbs, with minimal body fat) bodies. These changes first became apparent following the mass conversion of the whitelanders to worshipping the Cold Angels, when asked they say the Great One is recreating their bodies in his image. Children of the whitelanders grow and appear as any normal human would, however following their first migration with their respective cull, the changes begin to appear.

Language

the whitelanders primarily speak an accented English, however with a vary unique vocabulary
4th Highland Infantry Battalion

> Many traders that come up from what was the lower 48 tell us how we were "made for the ashlands"

> I don't know what idea they get about near arctic winters equaling the crazy shitfest that's the Grey

> I mean, yeah both are extremely cold and there's barely any sunlight, but we're regular Alaskan Highlanders. We get rotated in and out of the Highway to the Grey constantly so we don't loose our minds

> The Highland Rangers are a whole other story

>Those boys are fucking insane

>our rotations in The Grey are normally a few weeks long, maybe a month or two if we're really needed there then it's back to guarding the Highway.

>The Rangers average deployment into the Grey is a year

>A whole fucking year of nothing but ash, ashlings, and greyness

> None of us know how they keep their sanity or if they have any at all

>Once we were on a mission to check out a raider camp, or what was left of one

>A team of rangers hit it two days ago and we were going through to make sure no one was still taking up residence and to mop up

> As we approach we are greated by bodies strewn everywhere

> We searched the whole compound for any signs of life

> not even ashrats were there

> After our sweep two and two were put together and what the rangers plan became clear

> The outer most bodies, most likely sentries were either dead of stab wounds and blood loss or strangled to death

> once they took out the sentries, someone tossed in an explosive from one side while men rushed in from the other flank

>Inside there were shell casings of all types littering the ground, blood stained everywhere

> We counted 26 bodies in and around the compound, all raiders

> We couldn't find any evidence that a Ranger was killed, no blood pools in area where there were no bodies, or anything

> The only thing that we could definitely tell was a Rangers was a hatchet sticking in a dead raider
Cheyenne Mountain Complex

[A COUPLE OF MONTHS AFTER THE ERUPTION...]

I used to remember when life was simpler, no having to farm for hours just to barely survive, not having to sleep with one eye open because of raiders or something worse... the days of looking at my little mountain town with joy, not melancholy, when meeting new people was exiting, not dangerous, but those days are over, life has gotten rough, but if you want to survive, you also have to get tough

My family, friends and neighbors have been living in this hell hole for over \_\_ months, supplies are going low, we are slowly dying from all this fucking ash, non contaminated water is hard to come by, raiders are frequent and so are skinwalkers, we decided to restore this once calm city.

We started recruiting survivors from other areas, exploring new areas, spreading information to other smaller tribes and factions, that's how the \_\_\_ was born, by the people for the people, that idea slowly died, as more and more people started coming in, we needed more supplies to maintain that many people.

It quickly adopted a new constitution, with basic laws and regulations, we built a wall made of junk and cars around the San Luis city, to keep out bandits and skinwalkers, it seemed to be going so well, but then, the famine really got out of proportion, some starved while others died from disease, It seemed that we were doomed , until we met a great ally.

They sent scouts to the north, to see how Denver was.

>Be me, survivor from New Mexico

>Been living in this new town in South Colorado

>Become a guard, get some oper8or gear

>They send me to scout for nearby towns and find Denver

>Just have some rations, a radio, flashlight and a Remington 870

>Shits boring

>Rarely see any people

>Usually encounter a pack of wild dogs and rats, they're not much of a threat

>Such is life in the zone

>Suddenly it starts getting cold as shit, must be getting close to Denver, or just because of the ash

>Hear a gunfight, decide to check out what is it

>Some dude in full oper8or gear is fighting some nig-nog bandits

>Oper8 the shit out of the nigs with tacticool accuracy

>They're dead

>Ranger takes a breath and thanks me for helping him

>Uhhh where did you get tacticool shit?

>"Cheyenne Mountain Complex"

>Shit nigger, he might help our town with food N shiet
