Jordan Schmidt

**Jordan Schmidt** is a contestant from *Australian Survivor: Blood v Water.*

Jordan was often times relegated to the background strategically, despite having strong connections to a number of power players such as Sam Gash and his cousin Josh Millgate, spending the majority of the season aligning with them. Despite this, Jordan shone through with his physical prowess, which allowed him to make it deep into the game. Though Jordie Hansen was seemingly the next target to go, his ally KJ Austin played a Safety Without Power advantage, which unexpectedly put Jordie and Sam in the minority when the rest of their allies were sent back to camp. After some last minute scrambling by Sam, and a surprising flip by David Goodchild, Jordan was blindsided and sent to the jury.

It's a shared experience and you've got to be lucky to get on the show, let alone get with your cousin. It's all fun for us, we won't take anything too seriously.

Mimi Tang

**Mimi Tang** is a contestant from *Australian Survivor: Heroes v Villains*.

During her short time in the game, Mimi was unafraid to speak her mind and take risks. Her brash decision to search for a Hidden Immunity Idol in a cookie jar that her tribe won lost her her tribemates' trust, while her open disdain for tribemate Stevie Khouw earned her their ire, sealing her fate of being unanimously voted out in 21st place.

## Profile

*Retrieved from 10play.com.au*

Melbourne PR and Communications Manager, Mimi, is used to being underestimated. Working in a male dominated industry of luxury cars, she has learnt to hold her own and stand her ground.

Mimi says, "I've grown up super resilient and independent. I feel like it'll be favourable in the game. I've dealt with multiple relationships and personalities every day for the last 10 years in my job, so I feel like it’ll help me."

An amateur boxer, Mimi started when she was 19 and says she becomes a different person when she steps into the ring. However, her tough exterior is not always what it seems as she thinks her biggest weakness will be her empathy for other people and thinks Villains aren't always bad, just misunderstood.

She also knows working with a group of Villains means she'll need to be on her toes but that's part of the fun. She says, "I'm so happy to be on the Villains tribe because there's no limits, no expectations, and you can do whatever you want."

Josh Millgate

**Josh Millgate** is a contestant from *Australian Survivor: Blood v Water*.

Initially relegated to the background on the original Water tribe, Josh's strategic prowess emerged post-tribe swap, where he created an alpha males alliance with Jordie Hansen, Mark Wales and his cousin Jordan Schmidt that would steamroll the rest of the game, ultimately pulling in Chrissy Zaremba, David Goodchild, Jesse Hansen, and Sam Gash. Despite the alliance fracturing following Jordie's defection and Jordan's blindside, Josh's physical capabilities kept him in the game, and he looked to have a clear path to the Final Three. However, when the last remaining alliance outsider Shay Lajoie won the Final Immunity Challenge, Mark opted to side with Chrissy, eliminating Josh one day before the Final Tribal Council.

Wai Chim

**Wai Chim** is a contestant from *Australian Survivor: Brains v Brawn*.

Initially the target on the first vote of the season due to her poor challenge performance, Wai was saved by George Mladenov, the first of many advantages given to him by the producers. Thanks to her loyalty to the Brains Alliance, she managed to make her way to the end-game, where she and Hayley Leake became crucial swing votes. At the final five, despite planning to vote off the final Brawn member Flick Palmateer, Wai was put forth as a contingency plan by the duo of George and Cara Atchison in case Flick played a Hidden Immunity Idol. Cara and George proved to be correct, as Flick played her idol and Wai left the game blindsided.

Alliance

An **alliance** is a group of people loyal to each other in the game of *Australian Survivor*. These small social groups strategise together to manipulate the outcome of the upcoming Tribal Council and eventually the endgame.

## Conception

Alliances were invented in *Survivor: Borneo*, the first *Survivor* season worldwide, by eventual winner Richard Hatch, stating that a player will find it almost impossible to win without a tight group of people.

## Influence on *Australian Survivor*

Alliances have greatly influenced *Australian Survivor* as they are significantly powerful in voting. They are a fundamental component of strategy that even players who do not consider themselves strategic implement. However, making an alliance hasn't always guaranteed success, as many alliances have broken apart prematurely due to issues such as trust and tribe switches. Despite those roadblocks, alliances tend to be very helpful in getting players farther in the game, as the majority of Sole Survivors have been in powerful alliances and all Sole Survivors have been in an alliance at some point.

Casino Seal

The **Casino Seal** is a seal that glows when it detects the use of chakra nearby.

Hazou got the seal blank in Chapter 18, when he scouted casinos for making money at and noticed seals of unknown function in one of them:

> "What does security look like at the casinos?" Wakahisa asked.
> "Varies a lot," Hazou said. "I checked three different casinos. […] The third place was the most upscale, but I didn't see anything but civilians guarding it. It did have a bunch of seals scattered around the ceiling and the tables, disguised as patterns in the wood or whatever."
>
>

Hazou did not finish developing the seal until Chapter 217B.
Kidnapping

**Kidnapping** is a twist that has been used in multiple seasons of *Australian Survivor*. The tribe that wins an Immunity Challenge will choose a member of the losing tribe to join their tribe.

The original twist was used in *Australian Survivor* (2016), and was rehashed in *Champions v Contenders* (2019) under a revised format, and altered again for *Blood v Water*.

## History

### *Australian Survivor* (2016)

After winning the Day 29 Immunity Challenge, Saanapu was given the right to send one of their tribe members to observe Vavau's Tribal Council. They sent Brooke Jowett, and she was given the right of picking one of the Vavau tribemates to join Saanapu, and the Tribal Council ended with no elimination. Brooke chose Sue Clarke to join Saanapu.

### *Champions v Contenders* (2019)

After winning the Day 20 Immunity Challenge, rather than the Champions voting to eliminate a tribemate at Tribal Council, the Contenders got the opportunity to vote to kidnap one member of the Champions. The tribe chose Shaun Hampson in a 6-1 vote, and he immediately transferred to the Contenders.

### *Blood v Water*

On Day 22, the Water tribe lost the Immunity Challenge and went to Tribal Council. The castaways who received votes were eligible for kidnapping. Blood, the winners of the Immunity Challenge, then had the opportunity to vote to kidnap one of the eligible players. Ben Watson received 5 votes, Khanh Ong 2 and KJ Austin 1, so Blood had to choose between those three contestants to kidnap. They ultimately chose KJ in a 6-1-0 vote, and so she immediately joined Water.

## Summary

 ***Blood v Water***Episode 10 | Blood | KJ Austin

## Trivia

* Sue Clarke was the first castaway to be kidnapped in the history of *Australian Survivor*.
Nova Peris

**Nova Maree Peris** is a contestant from *Australian Survivor: Champions v Contenders* (2019).

Labeled as bossy by Ross Clarke-Jones, Nova was a loyal member of the Sporty Seven Alliance. However, following Susie Maroney's blindside, Nova developed a sour attitude towards Abbey Holmes, who flipped on the Seven. Her undying loyalty towards Steven Bradbury, and her multiple arguments that caused her tribe to fracture, saw Luke Toki's alliance to target her instead of Steven, and blindside her at their third Tribal Council.

## Profile

*Retrieved from 10play.com.au*

**Former Politician and Olympian, 48**

There's not a lot of people who have as many monumental firsts in their life like Nova. She was the first Indigenous Australian as well as the first Territorian to win a Gold Medal for Hockey. She's the only person to ever make back to back Olympic finals in two different sports. And was the first Indigenous Australian to be elected to the Commonwealth Parliament.

Nova has also been awarded Young Australian of the Year and received a medal of the Order of Australia, making her Nova Peris OAM.

Now ready to take on *Survivor*, she is hoping her success in life will equal success on the island but is also ready for a new opportunity saying; "I've done most things in life and this is so off the grid from the modern world. My mother and grandparents are survivors and wanted to see if I can be one too."

Believing she's relentless, Nova thinks her mental strength and never give up attitude will also help her along the way. And it doesn't hurt to have a background in politics to know how to work with people.

"Of course, I think I can win. I have had to get along with people my whole life. My social skills are very good and I'm mentally tough. Nothing much phases me!"

Mum of four and grandmother to one, Nova is out there to win.

KJ Austin

**Kate "KJ" Austin** is a contestant from *Australian Survivor: Blood v Water*.

KJ's initial hopes of playing a quiet game were interrupted by the arrival of her sister Sophie Cachia on her tribe, forcing her to eliminate her sister by the tribe switch. Post-merge, KJ reverted to her under-the-radar gameplay, which caused her to be voted out by the majority she sought to placate. After narrowly surviving Purgatory, KJ switched gears, vowing to play more actively. Assisted by a lucky break with the Safety Without Power advantage, KJ found herself in the driver's seat for the first time, but her power quickly fizzled out. A promising but unsuccessful attempt to consolidate a women's alliance with Chrissy Zaremba led to her elimination at the final five.

Anita Berkett

**Anita Berkett** is a contestant from *Australian Survivor: Champions v Contenders* (2018).

Bubbly and loud, Anita was a core member of the Contenders tribe. During the first few days, Anita managed to create a close alliance with Shonee Fairfax and Fenella McGowan. Despite this, Anita's naivete caused her to be easily tricked by Benji Wilson into blindsiding Tegan Gasior, sending her to Exile Beach. Seemingly safe, Anita was blindsided at the next tribal, as Heath Davies played his idol, using it to send Anita to Exile Beach also. Anita would later lose the duel against Tegan, not before notifying her of Benji's lies.

## Profile

*Retrieved from 10play.com.au*

**Age:** 50
**Occupation:** Sales Rep
**State:** QLD​​​​​

**Tribe:** Contenders​​​​​

Fast talking. Non-stop. Loud. These are a few things Anita has been called in her life and while they are all definitely true, she wants to be known for something else.

"I have a bucket list and *Survivor* is on it! I could be the first Australian 50-year-old woman to win. I want to prove to myself, my family and my friends that anything is possible and to give all opportunities a go."

A *Survivor* super fan, Anita has been in training to show the younger generation that she can keep up not only mentally but physically as well. Going to the gym, doing pilates, step classes not to mention taking part in marathons and events like Tough Mudder.

"A year ago, I could only run 2kms at a time then I set myself a challenge to run a full marathon before I turned 50. Well in August last year, I completed the Sunshine Coast Marathon. I was 49. Done in five hours. I can do anything!"

A firm believer that life is short and not one to live with regrets, Anita is the number one fan of Oprah Winfrey – she even got Oprah's signature tattooed on her neck!

Anita has four adult and teenage kids and loves nothing more than making them proud and trying to be a good role model to them. She's hoping that winning the title of Sole Survivor will inspire them and also help the family financially.

Wanting to be a hero on the game, Anita knows that sometimes you have to leave your morals back at home saying, "In *Survivor*, moral boundaries must be crossed and it's part of the game and I accept that. I will do anything to win the game.

"I want to be a hero but don't get me wrong, I will backstab, tell a few lies and align myself with whoever I feel will help my game. All is fair in the game of *Survivor*."

**Alex Frost** is a contestant from *Australian Survivor: Blood v Water*.

**What would you do with the prize money?**
Limo, Champagne, money showers…then invest it as well as donate some to a local charity.

## Australian Survivor

Alex was initially placed on the Water tribe, where his brother-in-law, Jay Bruno, was placed on the opposed tribe, Blood. On Day 2, while heading to the first Immunity Challenge, Alex was assisted by his tribemates as he tweaked his back on the way. Due to his injury, he didn't participate in the challenge that his tribe would go on to lose. Back at camp, Andy Meldrum targeted Alex for his injury, seeing him as an easy vote. However, Nina Twine and Mark Wales managed to get the majority of the tribe to blindside Andy instead.

On Day 12, after Water lost the Immunity Challenge, Alex was still suffering from back pains. The tribe was planning on voting out either Khanh Ong or Sophie Cachia. However, at Tribal Council, Alex publicly asked his tribe to vote him out due to him fearing his injury was worsening. When his tribemates didn't agree to do so, Alex decided to quit the game.

## Trivia

* Alex is the brother of *The Bachelor Australia 2* winner and *The Bachelorette Australia 1* star Sam Frost.
* Alex is the second castaway to quit *Australian Survivor*, following Peter Fiegehen in 2016.

Tegan Gasior

**Tegan Gasior** is a contestant from *Australian Survivor: Champions v Contenders* (2018).

Tegan posed an early strategic threat, forming a close relationship with Heath Davies and attempting to take control over the Contenders tribe, but after tensions between herself and Benji Wilson arose, Tegan found herself a constant target. After Benji gained the upper hand, Tegan was voted out and had to fight her way back into the game. Following a tribe switch on Day 25, her poor luck continued and, after finding herself in the minority on the new Champions tribe, she was ultimately voted out in a 3-2-2 vote on Day 28.

## Profile

*Retrieved from 10play.com.au*

**Age:** 32
**Occupation:** Management Consultant
**State:** WA
**Tribe:** Contenders​​​​​

A country girl from WA, Tegan is confident and outspoken and as she calls it, "a little rough around the edges."

Married with two small children, Tegan has been a fan of *Survivor* for a long time and always wanted to apply but couldn't find the right time to do it.

"I have been talking about applying for quite some time however we have been busy having babies so it was never right. My husband thinks applying is a great idea because he knows that I am capable of it. And I've had to teach him everything he knows about the bush and practical living!

"I often get told there isn't really anyone like me. I've had a very unique upbringing and find that I get along with most people. I've had to deal with a lot of stereotyping over my life and I always try and break the mould."

Tegan hopes her time on *Survivor* will be an inspiration to her children and community at large. As an Indigenous woman, she works closely with charities and took part in the Indigenous Marathon squad led by Rob De Castella. When she was selected, the longest she had run was a 3 km trial run. After taking part, she successfully completed the Boston Marathon.

"I am so proud of what I have achieved already but I want to prove to myself that I have the ability to tough it in the elements for an extended period of time. I want to see if I am actually as good at puzzles as I think I am.

"I want to win the money to set my family up long term and I want to show Australia what so many of my family members and friends know about Aboriginal Australia."

Anastasia Woolmer

**Anastasia Woolmer** is a contestant from *Australian Survivor: Champions v Contenders* (2019).

Beginning the game aligned with Luke Toki, Anastasia initially seemed safe, despite her abrasive and paranoid behavior. Although Pia Miranda seemed destined to be eliminated at their first Tribal Council, Nova Peris quickly identified Anastasia as a threat, and convinced her alliance to eliminate Anastasia instead.

## Profile

*Retrieved from 10play.com.au*

**Memory Champion, 42**

A memory athlete and two-time Australian Memory Champion, Anastasia is not someone who will be going under the radar.

Anastasia is hoping her memory training and skills will help her in the game of *Survivor* saying, "*Survivor* is such an amazing overall challenge, both physical and mental. I will use my memory skills to retain information about events and other competitors to use to my advantage."

Leaving home at 15 to join the Australian Ballet School, Anastasia performed around the world in places like Norway, Sweden and USA which she also thinks will be an advantage in the game as it uses the same skills she needed as a ballerina both physically and mentally.

She also admits to having a strong personality and hopes that it won't grate on her fellow castaways and work in her favour. "I don't intend to fly under the radar. I believe that my personality does not naturally allow me to do that and so is not in my best interest."

Before getting into memory training, Anastasia got a finance degree and worked as a fixed income broker but her love for memory skills overtook and she started training to build her skills.

## Australian Survivor

Anastasia began the season as a member of the Champions tribe. The group quickly divided into two alliances, with Anastasia siding with the "non-athletes". After losing the inaugural Immunity Challenge on Day 2, Anastasia and her alliance initially targeted Susie Maroney, but after learning that none of the athletes were willing to vote for Susie, Anastasia's alliance switched their target to Pia Miranda. In a last ditch attempt to save herself, Pia talked to Susie, telling her that both of their names had been brought up by Anastasia. With help from Nova Peris, the three women tried to persuade the rest of the athletes to vote out Anastasia instead. At Tribal Council, their plan proved successful, eliminating Anastasia in a 9-3 vote, with only Luke Toki and Janine Allis voting alongside her.

Sarah Marschke

**Sarah Marschke** is a contestant from *Australian Survivor: Heroes v Villains*.

Initially insulated within the Villains' majority, Sarah's decision to stray from George Mladenov's alliance set off his alarm bells and prompted him to campaign against her. This proved successful, as George and Simon Mee's respective coalitions united to unanimously blindside Sarah on Day 14.

## Profile

*Retrieved from 10play.com.au*

Being Miss World and a semi-professional rugby league player are not jobs one would usually pair but that's what makes Sarah a tough cookie ready to take on a game like *Survivor*.

Sarah grew up playing rugby at four and represented Queensland twice and says the experience made her tough and into the woman she is today. At 13, she was scouted as a model and won the title of Miss World Australia at 19.

And while rugby was tough, it was the modelling circle that really got her built for resilience. She says, "Competing at Miss World international is brutal, it's a very competitive pageant because you're there to win, you're not there to make friends or have a good time."

It was during the Miss World that Sarah was accused of her villainous side, saying, "When I was representing Miss Australia at Miss World, a bit of controversy happened. Miss Greece told everyone, and it was all over the news that I had pushed her down the stairs of a bus and ruined her chances of winning. I didn't but if I did, she wouldn't have gotten up!"

Ready to play as a Villain, Sarah says, "You should never underestimate what a beauty queen is willing to do to win."

## Australian Survivor

Due to controversy surrounding her appearance at the 2019 Miss World pageant, Sarah began the season as a member of the Villains tribe. Despite the group's early Immunity Challenge losses, Sarah was kept safe by seemingly aligning with the trio of Shonee Bowtell, Liz Parnov, and George Mladenov. By Day 14 however, Sarah had grown weary of George’s duplicity and planned to defect to Simon Mee's alliance to vote him out after the Villains lost immunity again.

Realizing that Sarah had defected to the rival alliance, her former allies decided to target her. After George recruited swing-vote Gerry Geltch in on the plan to vote out Sarah, Simon began to doubt that he still had the numbers to successfully blindside George. Because of this, Simon and his allies instead joined with George's alliance to unanimously blindside Sarah at Tribal Council that night.

Immunity Idol

The **Immunity Idol** is a totem that symbolizes Tribal Immunity and is awarded to the winning tribe(s) of an Immunity Challenge. Not to be confused with the Hidden Immunity Idol or the Immunity Necklace, the Immunity Idol serves as a trophy-of-sorts that grants an entire tribe exemption from Tribal Council, thus avoiding elimination.

When tribes convene at an Immunity Challenge, the winning tribe passes the Immunity Idol back to the host. The idol is typically shaped like an ornate trophy, is different every season and reflects the local culture or motif theme of the season. After the season finale, the idol, like with all *Survivor* props, are auctioned to charity.

## List of Immunity Idols

* *Australian Survivor* (2002): An old bell.
* *Celebrity Survivor Australia*: A staff with a stone face and rib-like sticks below it.
* *Australian Survivor* (2016): A Samoan spear. During the three-tribe portion of the game, the tribe that finished second received a smaller spear.
* *Australian Survivor* (2017): A Samoan tiki.
* *Australian Survivor: Champions v Contenders* (2018): A wooden vase with hanging colored stones.
* *Australian Survivor: Champions v Contenders* (2019): An animal skull tied to a base wih string.
* *Australian Survivor: All Stars*: A rusted sword.
* *Australian Survivor: Brains v Brawn*: A wooden sculpture of a bird and a snake, based on Australian aboriginal art.
* *Australian Survivor: Blood v Water*: An orange gemstone surrounded by metal half-rings, with red and blue strings attached.
* *Australian Survivor: Heroes v Villains*: An animal skull with twisted tree branches and green stones.

Shay Lajoie

**Shayelle "Shay" Lajoie** is a contestant from *Australian Survivor: Blood v Water*.

Shay's mental fortitude showed in her physical game and in her struggle to survive despite often having to play from the bottom. Her endurance and challenge prowess allowed her to win four individual Immunity Challenges and return from Purgatory, constantly defying the majority alliance's plans to eliminate her to make it to the series' first Final Three. However, her lack of initiative and failure to capitalize on numerous strategic opportunities caused her to miss out on every jury vote.
