Matt Dyson

**Matthew "Matt" Dyson** is a contestant from *Australian Survivor: Champions v Contenders* (2018).

Despite being in a comfortable position in the Contenders tribe, Matt's early-game paranoia led to him becoming the first casualty of the season.

## Profile

*Retrieved from 10play.com.au*

**Age:** 35
**Occupation:** Traffic Police Officer
**State:** QLD
**Tribe:** Contenders​​​​​

Matthew has seen enough episodes of *Survivor* to know that being honest is not always the way to win. So he is going to do his best to keep secret the fact his occupation back in Brisbane is a policeman.

"People will either love me or hate me, there won't be a middle. I feel I'll probably be perceived as a villain but I think once I make the final two, people will realise I just stood up for myself the entire way and didn't let anyone get the better of me.

"I want to prove to myself I have the ability to outwit people. I've always believed I am one step ahead of people when coming up with a plan to win and *Survivor* will be the best place to find out how good I really am."

Raised by a single mum, Matthew says she is one of his biggest influences and who he wants to make proud saying, "She taught me when times get tough, you dig deeper until you win. It's easy to get up and leave but you don't get rewarded at the end. I prefer to win!"

As a traffic police officer, he's also ready to take on anyone who has a go at him saying that he has arguments daily with people he gives tickets to and admits, nobody likes a traffic cop.

A lover of travel, Matthew has spent 7 months living in Africa and travelling to 77 countries around the world, which he thinks will also help him win the game saying, "Most of the places I have visited are in third world countries where most people wouldn't consider going to. The 77 countries I've been to aren't the tourist traps like Europe, that's too easy and I don't do easy."

## Australian Survivor

Matt won a pillow in the opening Reward Challenge after a hard-fought match against Moana. Back at camp, Matt immediately brought Stevie's antics to the attention of the other tribemates, believing he was looking for an idol or a clue. Matt nearly won the Immunity Challenge despite the Champions having a lead going into the final stage, but came up short. Although Steve was the clear target, Matt wanted to know what the alternative option would be in case Steve had an idol. None of the other men would provide an answer, leading Matt to get frustrated and believe he was the backup vote. At Tribal Council, Matt calls out Robbie and Zach as the leaders of a perceived all male alliance and urges the girls to "wake up and start playing the game". All this accomplished was turning the tribe against Matt, who was voted out over Steve in a 7-5 vote.

Sarah Tilleke

**Sarah Tilleke** is a contestant from *Australian Survivor* (2017).

A front-runner from the start, Sarah's sneaky strategy and ability to utilise other players to her advantage allowed her to travel deep into the game, almost never being targeted throughout the early stages of the game. Once reaching the merge, she was briefly in the power position before being outed as a threat for her influence on the game, swiftly being eliminated.

## Profile

*Retrieved from 10play.com.au*

**Age:** 22
**Occupation:** Model
**State:** Western Australia
**Tribe:** Asaga

Sarah is counting on her *Australian Survivor* tribe mates underestimating her character.

Smart and mature, she plans to be a massive game player and wants to take on the big guns to be the Sole Survivor.

"I am going to be on the ball the whole time. I will think about it when I go to sleep, and I will be dreaming about it. I will never rest or trust anyone because I don't think anyone should trust me," she said.

A huge fan of *Survivor*, being on the show has been a lifelong ambition for Sarah and she wants to win by playing the best game anyone has seen.

"I will never be complacent. I will play the game and not just sit back. I want to play the most intense social game on the planet and I want to be someone who is remembered."

Sarah feels her modelling experience will put her in good stead for the game, as living in houses around the world with other models is like a "mini-*Survivor* experience".

"I don't care what people think of me or if they think what I am doing is mean. I want them to think what I am doing is clever, I do not care if it is nice or not. I will take it all as a compliment."

## Tribe History

### Strong Seven/Core Four

With the tribe favoring strength in challenges and a positive work ethic around camp after the elimination of Des Quilty, an assumed "core four" of Elena "El" Rowland, Lee Carseldine, Phoebe Timmins and Rohan MacLaren were the power players and seen as the strongest leaving Evan Jones, Katherine "Kat" Dumont and Kristie Bennett as the ones vulnerable for elimination though at one point the remaining seven were a unified group when Des was still part of the tribe. Under the "leadership" of Lee, the tribe suffered greatly in challenges when it came to the puzzle section as Kat was regularly chosen to undertake that part but her efforts were critiqued and at times believed she was forced into the role.

### Dissension in the Camp

When Phoebe and Rohan were chosen to complete a quest on behalf of the tribe, they opted to cement their allegiance to one another by taking a clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol. Returning to camp the twosome attempted to cover their tracks with a fake dilemma, Evan (under the impression he was aligned with the core four) retraced their steps and found the clue dropped by Rohan. With Phoebe, El and Lee growing concerns about Evan's stability and the need to talk strategy continuously, this allowed Kat to cement an all-female alliance and in doing so eliminated the drama teacher from the game. Meanwhile Phoebe felt disillusioned by Rohan's trust after he didn't honor his promise to give her the hidden immunity idol once found.

### Dissolved

On day nineteen the Saanapu tribe won a special reward challenge that granted them the ability to form two new groups. Lee and El were drafted to Saanapu whilst Kat, Phoebe, Kristen and Rohan were drafted to Vavau. With no members, **Aganoa** was officially dissolved.

Baden Gilbert

**Baden Gilbert** is a contestant from *Australian Survivor: Champions v Contenders* (2019).

Labelled as a goat from the beginning, Baden was initially targeted due to his weakness in challenges, but eventually found his footing following the tribe swap, as his bond with Luke Toki helped him gain critical information throughout the game. Following the merge, Baden continued to exercise his passive gameplay in fear of being outed as a threat. This strategy backfired, as upon reaching the Final Tribal Council, Baden's strategy was criticized by the jury, resulting in a unanimous loss against winner Pia Miranda.

## Profile

*Retrieved from 10play.com.au*

**Student, 23**

Highly intelligent and a little bit awkward, Baden is currently studying his PhD on the physics of the ionosphere, which is the charged part at the very top of the earth's atmosphere.

Baden lives and breathes science, which is not usually one of the strongest skill sets needed on *Survivor* but he's hoping that he can find a middle ground to bond with people.

When it comes to challenges, he thinks he will be a key part of the tribe. "I think I'll pull my own weight on the physical challenges but what I really think I can do is the puzzles. They do put a huge target on your back if you mess them up but I think I'll do well at them."

Baden applied for the series after seeing last year's science genius Sam make it to Jury Villa and inspired him to try something way out of his everyday life.

Baden knows people might misjudge him thinking he's weak but has been a member of surf lifesaving since he was seven so is hoping the water challenges will be one of his hidden strengths.

However, Baden thinks being underestimated can have its advantages saying; "An underdog is less likely to be targeted by others, prolonging their time in the game and that's what I'm hoping will happen to me."

Robbie Skibicki

**Robbie Skibicki** is a contestant from *Australian Survivor: Champions v Contenders* (2018).

One of the strongest members of his season, Robbie is best remembered for his season-long rivalry with Mat Rogers, and his close bond with Benji Wilson. During the pre-merge, he became a key member of the all-boys alliance on the Contenders tribe, and allied with Lydia Lassila after the Tribe Switch. However, upon merge, he was unable to find himself prioritized by anyone besides Benji, resulting in his elimination.

## Profile

*Retrieved from 10play.com.au*

**Age:** 25
**Occupation:** Construction Manager
**State:** SA
**Tribe:** Contenders​​​​​

Competitive and calculated, Rob is a construction manager who is planning to be a challenge winner for his tribe.

"I want to be the guy they need. I can win challenges for them, I can provide for them. I think I can use my charm and trusting character to get people to follow my decisions and my athletic ability to keep me safe for a while.

"I know most people don't win by standing out so I think I can play the system and downplay myself to be seen as strong but not threatening."

Coming from a tight family, Rob has nothing but respect for his parents who migrated from Poland when they were younger. He admits his Dad is very tough but taught him about good work ethics and not to give up. While his Mum is "the ying to my Dad's yang," taking him to his swimming lessons, up to 11 times a week, to encourage Rob's talent and helping him to become a national swimmer.

"My childhood consisted of a lot of sports training which I think gave me a great work ethic and passion. I'm always going at 110%. I need to be doing something, I can't be idle."

Aside from his swimming training, Rob runs his dog every morning, hits the gym five times a week plus plays squash and indoor soccer. He knows that his physical appearance could be seen as a threat so he wants to work hard at being the nice guy.

"I want to be a team player that will do anything to help out. I want people to feel like I deserve to be there because I bent over backwards to help people in the game."

Merge

A **merge** is the coming together of the two or more competing tribes into a single tribe. This means that the tribes will now live as one in one camp until the end of the game. This also signals the game's halfway point and typically is near the start of the jury phase.

The initial merged tribe contains around half of the season's members, typically 11 to 13 in a 24-person season. The merge signals the halfway point of the game. It is typically announced before the first post-merge Reward Challenge. It is where the castaways will live as one new tribe until the final day of the competition. Once merged, they will receive a different tribe banner (with a new colour) and new buffs. They would also have to christen a name for the new tribe. From this point forward, the game shifts from a team-effort competition into an individual game, although some challenges can still be team challenges. The Final Two or Three would then face the jury on the last day of the competition at the Final Tribal Council, where the jury decides who will be the Sole Survivor.

## Determining the Camp

While the tribes convene for the merge, the migrating tribe(s) will immediately relocate to the chosen tribe's camp, while their personal items, such as rewards, luxury items, and remaining supplies are moved to the new camp. This happens when the tribes compete in a challenge, where the Survivor Production Team ships the items of the tribe(s) moving to the new camp. Determining the merged tribe campsite can vary. The camp of the starting tribe that was most dominant in challenges may be selected, being the camp with more members already being based there. Alternatively, the players may be allowed to pick the camp with better living conditions (e.g. having more food sources, more liveable shelter, etc.). A completely new tribe location may be chosen instead.

## Challenges

Due to the nature of the merge, the game shifts from a team effort to an individual affair. Certain post-merge challenges, usually for reward, may see the tribe temporarily divided up into two or more teams, with one of these teams winning the challenge.

## Strategy

Strategy on the merged tribe differs from pre-merge strategy, as jury management and strategic voting start to take hold around this point.

* The Pagonging strategy is where the majority tribe comes together as one alliance and systematically votes out each member of the minority tribe. This strategy is named after the Pagong tribe from *Survivor: Borneo*, the first victim of the strategy.
Urn

The **urn** is usually a cylindrical container where contestants place their votes anonymously for who they would like to vote out.

## History

The urn has been used in every season at Tribal Council. After the votes have been cast, the host goes and tallies the votes, where they arrange the votes in a specific order, possibly to create more suspense, and comes back to the main Tribal Council area with the urn. One by one, they pull out the votes and reads them to reveal the eliminated contestant.

## List of Urns

* *Australian Survivor* (2002) - A barrel.
* *Celebrity Survivor Australia* - An urn with a tiki face.
* *Australian Survivor* (2016) - A wooden urn with grooves running down the sides.
* *Australian Survivor* (2017) - A cracked, ceramic jar.
* *Champions v Contenders* (2018) - A metal, ball-shaped pot with barnacles on it.
* *Champions v Contenders* (2019) - A teardrop-shaped urn made of bones and an animal skull as the lid handle.
* *All Stars* - A stone jar adorned with beads, bones, and a tusk as the lid handle.
* *Brains v Brawn* - A small basket with Australian aboriginal decorations.
* *Blood v Water* - A metal urn themed to gears and screws.
* *Heroes v Villains* - A wooden, hourglass-shaped urn with small teeth on the top and bottom.
* *Titans v Rebels* -

Australian Survivor: All Stars

***Australian Survivor: All Stars*** is the seventh season overall of Australian Survivor and fifth of the Network Ten incarnation*.* In a change to previous installments, the contestants are returning contestants from the four previous seasons.

## Twists/Changes

* **All-Stars:** For the first time, a cast entirely of former castaways returned for another shot at the title of Sole Survivor.
* **Exile Beach:** On Day 13, the two people that received the most votes in Tribal Council would not be sent home but instead would be sent to Exile Beach until the Tribe Switch. It would be later used on Days 34 and 36, where the three people that received the most votes at Tribal Council would not be sent home but instead would be sent to Exile Beach. The six exiled contestants would compete in two challenges in order for three of them to return to the game. Finally, all of the contestants would vote off one of the three remaining exiled contestants on Day 38, returning the two others to the game in the process.
* **Fire-Making Elimination:** On Day 18, instead of an tribal Immunity Challenge, both tribes competed in an individual Immunity Challenge. At Tribal Council, instead of voting someone out of the game, both tribes voted one member into a firemaking challenge, with the loser being eliminated.
* **Trial by Fire:**On Day 44, if a contestant believed they were going to be voted out, they could accept an offer, subjecting them to a fire-making challenge against another castaway decided unanimously by the merged tribe (or by a rock draw, if the decision was not unanimous). The two people would then showdown in a fire-making challenge. If the initiator lost the challenge, they would be eliminated. If the initiator won the challenge, nobody would be eliminated.

## Reception

This season was given almost univserally positive reviews, with the interactions between established figures, some of which now each other from their respective season, being highlighted as a major draw. There were also rave reviews about the contributions of specific contestants, as well as the events and outcomes of tribal councils.

## Trivia

* This is the first season of *Australian Survivor* to include a cast of all returning players.
* This is the third season of *Australian Survivor* to feature a deadlocked vote, after Template:S and Template:S.
	+ However, this season was the second time a deadlocked vote resulted in a castaway being eliminated from the game, as in *2016* it happened in a mock Tribal Council with the people voted out switching tribes.
	+ Both deadlocked votes in the Network Ten incarnation of *Australian Survivor* have been broken by a consensus decision.
* This is the first season of *Australian Survivor* to not feature a blue tribe.
Ross Clarke-Jones

**Ross Clarke-Jones**(often referred to as **Roscoe**) is a contestant from *Australian Survivor: Champions v Contenders* (2019).

A much-loved member of his tribe, Ross was labeled as a "wildcard" early on for his tendency to never give a clear answer to his allies. After being swapped over to the Contenders tribe, his alliance quickly took control of the tribe, and Ross seemed destined to reach merge. Unfortunately, an accident in the Immunity Challenge left Ross with a broken ankle, resulting in his evacuation from the game.

## Profile

**Big Wave Surfer, 53**

If you look up hell raiser in the dictionary, no doubt there would be a picture of Ross. A legendary big wave surfer, he is one of the most iconic surfers to catch waves over 80 feet high.

Known as Mad Dog, Ross has a need for speed in all things action. Making his name as a big wave surfer at the 1986 Billabong Pro, Ross went on to spend another 12 years on the ASP World Tour.

In 2001, he became the first Australian surfer (and first non-Hawaiian) to win the prestigious Quiksilver in Memory of Eddie Aikau. Then in 2016, he took second place at the elite big wave competition now known as The Eddie, the world's most renowned big wave surfing competition.

Ross is also the only man to have braved the dangerous Big Mama at Nazare beach in Portugal. Ross was lucky to walk away with only a concussion after being washed onto the rocks – adding to a list of broken nose, back, ribs and shoulder over the years.

Now ready to take on the next challenge of *Survivor*, Ross might not be a superfan but he knows how he wants to play saying; "Hopefully I'll be a nice guy and worthy like Mat Rogers. I achope I keep my mouth shut like Shane Gould and have fun like Brian Lake."

Paige Kerin

**Paige Kerin** is a contestant from *Australian Survivor: Champions v Contenders* (2018).

Although initially a member of the Boys Alliance, Paige's weakness in the challenges caused them to exile her from the tribe. Paige's conflicts with Zach Kozyrski and Anita Berkett caused her to turn to the Champions during challenges, leaking important information to them. This, combined with her inability to make strong social bonds, caused her to be eliminated just before the tribe swap.

## Profile

*Retrieved from 10play.com.au*

**Age:** 24
**Occupation:** Marketing Coordinator
**State:** SA
**Tribe:** Contenders​​​​​

A huge fan of *Survivor*, Paige believes her career in Marketing has provided her with the skills of discipline, attention to detail and a strong and passionate drive which will play out on the island.

"I am an absolute *Survivor* lover. I grew up watching Jeff and thinking that the people on *Survivor* were warriors! They seemed so strong and powerful and I know I can be that. I can be a warrior. It's always been a dream of mine and I know I have all the skills to be on it and I want to put that to the test."

Her boyfriend Daniel is her biggest supporter and is thrilled she made the cut saying, "He couldn't be more excited. He definitely thinks it would be amazing but mostly he just wants me to stop talking about it all the time."

Paige admits that being around negative or passive players will start to drive her crazy especially if they don't pull their weight. She believes she's very good at staying positive and making the best out of a bad situation but thinks her bad poker face might get her in to trouble if she doesn't agree with someone.

She's been getting ready for the physical side of things by hitting up the gym, swimming and hiking.

If she does win, Paige has plans to take her family on some overseas holidays and to set her up for a few years to follow her dreams and pursue her career passions without hesitation.

Despite her drive to win, there's also one more thing Paige hopes to tick off her *Survivor* bucket list.

"I want to meet Jonathan LaPaglia and see those arms in real life!"

Idol Nullifier

The **Idol Nullifier** is an advantage introduced in *Australian Survivor* (2017). Its main function is to prevent a Hidden Immunity Idol from negating any votes.

## Overview

The Idol Nullifier has only been seen once, as part of a Super Idol, and can be used at Tribal Council after another castaway plays a Hidden Immunity Idol. The idol will be rendered powerless and all votes cast against the castaway who played the idol will count. Similar to the Hidden Immunity Idol, the Idol Nullifier can be played until five castaways remain.

An Idol Nullifier can only negate one Hidden Immunity Idol, so it can be countered if a second Hidden Immunity Idol is played for the target.

## History

### *Australian Survivor* (2017)

The Idol Nullifier debuted in 2017 following the Day 26 Tribal Council. A super idol was hidden in a special location where one castaway would be sent to and be given until sunrise to find it. The super idol has two halves: one half was a regular Hidden Immunity Idol, and the other half can be played after the votes are revealed, as well as nullify a Hidden Immunity Idol played at the same Tribal Council this half is played. The tribe that won the Day 26 Immunity Challenge was sent to Tribal Council to vote for someone to compete for a special reward. Ziggy Zagame was voted by Samatau to compete for the reward. Ziggy ultimately did find the reward, a Super Idol. At the Day 38 Tribal Council, Anneliese Wilson played an idol, but Ziggy used the idol nullifier function of the Super Idol on Anneliese, canceling out Anneliese's idol. Anneliese was voted out 8-3, sending her to the jury.
Cult of Cinis

"A symbol typically found on ransacked towns, some believe it's their flag"

## Lore

Deep within the Colorado Ashland resides a cult that covets and worship an unknown Ash God called Cinis.

Often raiding and ransacking towns, they take many of those who survived the initial attack and take them deeper within the Ashland's, where they are then stripped naked and ceremoniously nailed to posts and walls. After days of being exposed to the ash, these people eventual turn into one of the cult, a lanky, pale creature. They're swift and fleet footed, their pale greyish skin often blending into the backdrop of the ash. Many of the cults skin are discolored with dips and rises, thought to be caused from the ash ripping away at it.

No one knows where they reside, scouts usually lose them after following them a short distance.

## Equipment

They are most often seen wearing long, flowing grey cloaks and robes, covered in ash. Often carrying knives and Hammers, they are deadlier than they seem, with fast reflexes and a savage strength.

Great Lakes Coalition

The Great Lakes Coalition (GLC) is a faction formed in the northern end of the southern peninsula of Michigan, quickly enveloping the whole state and parts of Wisconsin and Minnesota. It was formed 9PA (Post Ash-fall) through the combined efforts of remaining emergency response members, ex-military and doomsday preppers.

## Geography

The GLC covers the entirety of Michigan, the whole north and eastern side of Wisconsin, the northeast point of Minnesota, and expands down into the northern parts of Illinois, Indiana and a small section of Ohio. It's in the Outer Ashlands where the ash was not as apocalyptic as the Ashlands or Deep/Dead zones.

## Illinois Expansion

Starting in 10 PA, the Illinois Division of the Great Lakes Coalition engaged in multiple expeditions for the purpose of expanding the borders of the GLC and reinforcing industry in major cities, such as New Chicago with the New Chicago Armory, which was completed in 12 PA. The main expedition in 10 PA and ending in 14 PA dealt with moving southward and conquering major raider occupations like the City of Champaign and the Sangamon River area. Sub-expeditions included finding materials for the New Chicago Armory and fending off the Tennessee Expeditionary Force occupation in Vermillion County, IL. All expeditions resulted in Major southward expansion into Champaign and Vermillion county, and occupation of the Sangamon River.
Samuel Hinton

**Samuel Hinton** is a contestant from *Australian Survivor: Champions v Contenders* (2018).

A certified genius, Samuel used his social and strategic prowess to secure a position in the majority Champions tribe alliance, continuing their control over the game into the merge.

After the blindside of alliance member Lydia Lassila, Samuel began to question his value to the alliance. This prompted him to flip, but after news of his attempts to sway the numbers in his favor caught wind, Samuel saw both his old and new allies turn on him, ultimately voting him out in an 8-2 vote on Day 35 and making him the second juror.

## Profile

**Age:** 26
**Occupation:** Astrophysicist
**State:** QLD
**Tribe:** Champions​​​​​

Proving that brawn is not the only way onto the Champions tribe, Sam's outstanding intellectual accomplishments will have him ahead of the game.

A boy genius, Sam is a top astrophysicist and a robotics and software engineer who knows 14 programming languages. He's also an astronomer and has won the Bok Prize, the most prestigious award for masters students who have impressed the Astronomical Society of Australia.

Sam is currently completing his Doctorate of Philosophy and has had 16 academic works published. He's been invited to universities around the world to lecture and has been impressing professional industry leaders at each destination.

"Naïve statistics say it's unlikely that I will win but I'm going to try! Stranger things have happened before and it would be pretty cool for a smart nerdy kid to take out the prize."

Hoping to make himself useful at camp by making shelters and fire, Sam is planning to be an integral part of his tribe not by winning challenges but by supporting his friends and being himself saying, "It'll probably be a mistake but I want to be me. I've been working out but I don't imagine I'll get to the point where I'll be a challenge beast like other players will.

If he makes it to the end, Sam isn't going to forget his roots.

"I've been a student my entire life, always scraping by. If I win, the title will be enough but I would use the prize money to buy myself a car so I can actually get around. Plus help some of my mates and my family."

A quiet and passive player, Simon was originally part of Steven Bradbury's Sporty Seven Alliance, before the alliance crumbled, causing him to align with Janine Allis. After sailing through to the merge, Simon's alliance briefly held majority, before Abbey Holmes and Luke Toki flipped on them and sent him to Exile Beach.

A fan of the game, Simon has come into *Survivor* with winning on his mind saying; "I've watched the show and was always intrigued by it. I've always been competitive and wondered how I'd go on something like it.

"The combination of physical and mental challenges seemed like something that would stretch me as a person. The gamesmanship will be a big challenge, but I am very excited to get out there and I am going to do my absolute best."

"My dream is to get as far into the game as possible and play in a manner that earns trust and respect. I would like to at least make the Jury. I'm also looking forward to learning more about myself."

Buff

A **Buff** is a staple item of clothing that contestants of *Australian Survivor* wear to identify which tribe they are a member of for the audience.

Buffs are tubular bandannas made from microfibre and can be worn in a variety of ways. The composition of the fabric used for the Buff allows the contestants to cool down in hot conditions and warm up in the cold (typically night-time).

## Design

Based on the motif of the season, the Buffs typically match and follow a particular design regardless of the instalment. Each side of the Buff shows three logos with a strip down the crease with a local design (sharks, islands, fire, skulls, etc.). Each contestant's Buff will feature the colour of their tribe, whether it be a pre-merge or merge tribe.

## In-Game Use

According to the Survivor Rulebook, contestants must have their Buffs on at all times unless otherwise directed. In the event of a tribe switch or a merge, castaways are to dispose of their old Buff and wear their new one.

## The Buff Brand

Buff is a brand of multi-functional headwear and also sells other protective equipment such as caps and gloves. Its headquarters is based in Spain.

## Trivia

* Prior to filming, at least 20 units of Buffs for each tribe are produced. Additional Buffs may be produced in cases of tribe switches or merges.
