FTA-TV Australian Survivor 2025 - Brains v Brawn

[muttley45]

If AJ had half a brain, he should have voted for himself, and played his idol for Rich, i have no doubt Rich will struggle with the nuances of playing it correctly, or even advantageously, after he struggle to even read the scroll.

That's a waste of an idol, he had no idea what's in the scroll. Better to keep it and hope the swap happens soon

Call me whatever you want but I just can’t stand Zara’s face and her intro about being a stay at home mum driving a Lamborghini was gross.

Ally is an idiot. Enough said.

Logan I actually don’t mind but the waterworks over shampoo was a bit muc. Potentially a tad harsh here.

The more I think about it, this Brains vs Brawn thing pisses me off more and more.

Take our stay at home mum tonight, who is a brain by virtue of having a law degree. (And I have one too, I promise you it doesn't make you brainy!)

I've worked with 2 different mums who were returning to the workforce, and they had some incredible skills of organisation, negotiation, and most critically from a Survivor perspective, a very unique endurance that allowed them to deal with some literal childish idiot for days on end (ie. me) and not just flip your ****ing lid.

I don't know what broadbrush we use to paint those people into some convenient little box for Survivor purposes, but I want to see a tribe of them.

Agreed. The themes for Aus survivor are getting really old from everyone I speak to. Hopefully the producers get this feedback. Most fans just want a series with minimal returning players, not too much over engineering to keep players in and some good personalities. Keep it simple!

Let me have a turn I say!

putting up with dipshits like me on BigFooty surely qualifies you as a brain.

I don’t know which I would be tbh. I’m street smart but not smart smart lol

I’d probs be on the brawn tribe if I was being real with myself

I can make a fire without a flint so that would come in handy

 

[DemurePrincess]

I guess it's another part of my annoyance. I'm not at all fit. I'm getting old and fat. I'm not even remotely what Survivor considers "brawn".

But I could drop any one of these ****wits where they stood, and they wouldn't get up. That's brawny to me. But even their definitions don't really check out.

I agree. I’m losing faith very quickly. If you don’t have Insta page you don’t even get a look in apparently which sucks bc I just want a go at those challenges and being a sneaky bitch. I don’t want to make squillions after the show

I had to rewind to the start of the reward challenge to see whether the Brains tribe arrived with no tops on. Only 1 did...they really don't use their brains!


OMG is Logan really crying because she's not going to the salon?


WTF Ally is just divulging everything


JLP is taking the piss..."Give it a good yank to release that nut sack".


Oh dear Ally is shit at fire making. It's not a good episode for her.


Oooo there are cracks in the coven alliance.


Ally you need to keep your mouth shut!


Haha now Ally is telling the girls what she told the Brawn tribe.


Oh Piss off there is a Twist. RHAP was correct that it will be non elimination this episode.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

I was thinking I can't believe they didn't refilm him reading the clue but maybe they did a heap of takes and just gave up

I think that was all the takes edited/combined

I thought that too but she has 3 degree's so she's self made I guess. Respect for that.

Potentially, we have no idea how her or her partner made their money. Im being an idiot but I just really don’t like her as a package, the plastic face, the lambo, the sass. Not my cup of tea.

 

[Jugada]

Zara is top quality. Putting her foot down when the witch was trying to snow her again with keeping Rich was what you want to see

 

[Jugada]

Her intro package make up was horrendous though

 

[AdelaideGT]

I really thought AJ would play his idol for Rich and get rid of Ally that way.

But then they announced it was non-elimination

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

At least they told them before they voted this time

 

[royboys4eva]

Every season it staggers me the amount of players that have no idea how to play Survivor. I guess it makes for good TV if they're clueless?

Indy - Kent - Nash and if not for the twist last night it would have been Ally. All of them had no idea what they were doing. First thoughts on Ally after the first five days was she would be a strong player. That got blown out of the water last night - she was in self destructive mode. The way she spoke to AJ was appalling - can you imagine the reaction had a male spoken to a female like that?

She was 100% gone last night and she can thank Zen and his injury for her being still in the game. But, unless she changes her attitude it won't be a very long stay.

You can leave me out of the witch as well. She turned nasty last night when not getting her way. She won't offer much in challengers and her true personality will turn plenty off.

Have enjoyed the challengers so far this season.

I think you have to have some players in a big cast that don't really know how to play, or at least have such big egos or lack of self control that they can't help themselves. Look how boring some of the recent seasons of US Survivor are when it's all super fans.

I've said for ages that you have to cast some crazies or different personality types. Having said that, they may have gone a little overboard this season with those types.

 

[Ochre]

So the two people with AI related jobs we've seen on Survivor are Ally and Andy from the last US season, worrying signs for the future that

 

[MarcMaverick]

Ain't nothing much more chaotic like a bunch BF members marooned on an island

Certainly not when it comes to human interactions, which is essential in Survivor.

Is that would make great ****ing tv

I've said for ages that I would love it to be really simple, no theme tribes and i would love a season where there are no hidden immunity idols at all, but the tribes don't know this is the case.. so they still search, scramble, plan around them, bluff etc

 

[AdelaideGT]

I'm hoping that the advantage has to be given to one of his old tribe tonight and the boys use it to send two of the coven back to camp.

Then they can get rid of Ally and even the numbers up again.

 

[Plugger35]

Just caught up on last night's episode, annoying that what looked like a well deserved blindside for Ally got spoiled by a twist.

She has made quite a few enemies on her tribe though with both the coven and bomb squad so her days look to be numbered.
