FTA-TV Australian Survivor 2025 - Brains v Brawn

[Kirby]

Zara took out her biggest endurance competition. She’s no dummy.

She voted out perhaps the only one left that she could beat.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Gotta get there first

 

[MarcMaverick]

Faithful to the Zara lore. Vendetta to the end.

Now if she goes home on Sunday it'll be down to the boys.

The thing is she complained all episode about having no big moves on her "resume" then backs out of the biggest blindside/move this season.

Guess Zara wants to eat soup with a fork.

So in BF terms, she welched.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

She also doesn’t think Kaelan has done diddly aside from win challenges

 

[checkraiseulite]

AJ and Myles the only people capable of any level of strategic thinking.

as always in australian survivor, ppl play to not get voted out early, then to get to the end, not to win.

Gotta get there first

i'd rather be at jury villa sipping margaritas than busting my guts in an endurance challenge when either way, i've got zero chance of winning the game.

 

[Plugger35]

Disappointing that Zara backed out of the AJ blindside and went with the boring and predictable Kate vote, not surprising though.

 

[Jugada]

100% the correct move for Zara right there.

If you are planning on sitting next to Myles at the end then making a big flashy move with him is not a net positive move. If anything Myles would likely be the one getting the credit here for taking out his best mate whilst playing an idol.

I actually think Kate was probably a bigger jury threat than any of them anyway, people are just getting swayed by the post game edit. She is also a much bigger challenge threat than AJ who could seemingly be picked off whenever

Kate hasn't done any moves at all. She only would've won if the jury was bitter.

 

[Frank Grimes]

Ironically Myles will now need to keep AJ in.

Let's say AJ get's voted out next. It would mean winning the endurance challenge is a must for Myles or he will be voted out because he would have the better pitch to the jury.

If he was standing next to AJ in the final 3 then there is a fair chance that AJ would be voted out instead as he would have as strong a pitch to the jury.

Surely AJ would see it this way too. If it's him, Zara and Kealan then he knows that he would be voted out because he is by far the biggest threat as far as the pitch to the Jury goes.

It would be great if it was Myles and AJ in front of the Jury at the end, but that is looking like the least likely scenario.

 

[Ochre]

Wow, crazy vote and best ep in a while.

Torn on whether it's a good move for Zara, on one hand she has complete ownership over it, but you could tell how keen the jury were to see AJ go. Also if Morgan leaving means it now is a final 3, she might have stuffed herself regardless.

Juries just vote for who they like most of the time and Kate was very well liked

She may have ownership of it but the jury expected Kate to be voted out when they got in there.

You could see how excited they were at the chance that AJ was going to be voted out.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Sorry, Zara didn't just welch, she squibbed the contest.

 

[Mkcaptain]

If Zara's read is that the jury won't respect Kaelin's game then I'd suggest last night's move was her best strategy from her perspective. Last night's move makes the path to Zara vs Kaelin final two a lot more clear.

Personally I think read would be wrong. There are enough people on the jury cluey to the fact that Kaelin knows a lot more than he's been letting on publicly. I don't think the early jurors would be that respectful of his game, but could see AJ being a very strong advocate for him in a Kaelin vs Zara scenario.

Lol morgan didn’t want to be on the jury - what a sore loser

So she pulled an SDT from WAW.

I think the Morgan criticism is rough, given we know next to nothing about what occurred and all of this is based off one Reddit post.. it may appear Ben has been thrown under the bus but really they both got the same treatment when leaving. No backstory or discussion, no hearing from them.. If he has been thrown under a bus it is all perceptions and rumour and nothing the show has said or done really.

I am especially not keen on people calling her soft or to get over it harden up etc based of whatever may have happened with Ben, I don't think that is fair given the lack of clarity, but also if it is along the lines of what has been rumored, I as a caucasian bloke don't think i have any right to comment on what a person of colour perceives or finds to be racist, given they have been most likely dealing with it their entire life.

Even in her best case scenario though production removed Ben from the game for it so im not sure what she was wanting them to do

 

[Ochre]

Morgan has every right to be pissed off at production imo. 'Don't say the N word' is not a rule she should have to be policing, or have to threaten to quit to get production to do something about.

 

[Ochre]

In a social game, speaking up about something like that could easily be a reason someone decides to target you or not work with you, so she either has to let it happen or hurt her own game to get it to stop. That's ****ed up.

Yeah I agree with this. Think it was the right move for Zara. She pretty much guarantees herself final 3 now whereas voting AJ out would have left it pretty messy with a pissed off Kaelan and free agent Kate.

it’s a bit of a mystery why Kaelan wasn’t voted out though.

The Morgan stuff is pretty interesting. If she wasn’t planning on staying on the jury it’s a little odd she stayed in the game. Unless she wasn’t planning doing it to help Kate out.
