FTA-TV Australian Survivor 2025 - Brains v Brawn

[Kirby]

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.

You seem to be jumping to conclusions here. They may not have known about it until she complained.

They can’t be held responsible for something someone may have said suddenly out of the blue. The rumour was it was him singing songs at camp that had the word in it. We don’t know how often or any detail.

He may have done it on one occasion and not thought about it being offensive because he was just singing a popular song. Yeah if that’s the case he should have had more awareness, but it could be just stupidity.

We need more info to be properly informed.

Oh yeah, my post was with the assumption that the reddit post from earlier was true, and that if Morgan was threatening to leave the game then it surely wouldn't have just been an isolated incident.

 

[Ochre]

I do think production has handled this terribly regardless from an editing POV. Either something bad did happen and they've swept it under the rug and not let anyone speak about it, or they've let internet speculation run wild with things far worse than the truth

 

[Jugada]

If hypothetically it was an isolated incident where Ben let out an N word whilst singing a song then they are sort of stuck between a rock and a hard place from an edit perspective and would be ok with them just not putting it in

If there are people out there who want to run wild with worse unfounded rumors then that is really on them alone. The they should have told us if they didnt want us spreading shit doesn't hold up for me

 

[checkraiseulite]

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.

Zara can’t beat AJ or Myles.

She wants to be with Kaelen and Kate at the end surely.

 

[JT_the_Man]

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

Which is still more than she has done.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Think Zara would've been better off voting for literally anyone else from a path to victory standpoint. I understand she thinks Kate is her endurance threat, but she can't beat anyone left (apart from maybe Kaelan if they all really see him as having no idea - AJ should help with that? Even then his challenge resume is probably enough)

I also lol that AJ thinks Kaelan will take him to the end. AJ is probably the last person he takes to the end.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Also agree that Kaelan was kinda forced into the Morgan vote after Kate won the second immunity. Would've just put a bigger target on his back when the move failed.

She couldn't beat Kate at the end based on how well received she was at the jury

Kaelen takes out Myles over AJ if they are all there at F3 I reckon. Myles has played a hugely visible game

Move wouldnt have failed though

 

[JT_the_Man]

Well it would’ve forced a tie. So you can’t say it would’ve been successful either, and in my opinion it probably does more harm than good if he isn’t successful there.

I nearly added with the exception of possibly Myles. Based on what we’ve seen in terms of everyone’s opinion on Kaelan, I can’t really see him beating either and if he had to choose which one to give the win to he’s picking AJ imo.

 

[checkraiseulite]

kaelen will speak better than people expect and will claim AJ was his shield and he was pulling strings while never being in danger. he is smarter than people give him credit for.

that said his game would have been better had he made a move on either AJ or Myles (who would respect it and are the least likely to be bitter jury members which is so common in Aus survivor)

 

[Jugada]

Both AJ and Zara weren't taking a 50-50 shot at themselves going to save Myles when they are losing an ally either way

I think he is in an ok enough spot now to go to the end with Zara but keeping Morgan in the game and adding a big move would have been better for him still

 

[DemurePrincess]

Whose ready for it?

Bring it on

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Sarah and Luke are nice surprises. Sarah played an underrated game I reckon.

Luke x David up to mischief. Can't wait!

 

[MarcMaverick]

Parvati hasn't changed since Cook Is.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Also, what game will Tony Vlachos play? Is he going to be Reckless Cagayan Tony or the more matured and level-headed Stable WAW Tony?

 

[darrenmorgan]

Very hard to see how George won’t be the first boot out of that Au lot.

Hope is more the word lol

 

[MarcMaverick]

And the evergreen Cirie Feilds, will she finally taste Survivor success?

Ugghh George again...

 

[DemurePrincess]

Ugghh George again...

He’s a bit beefy or would you call that fluffy!

 

[squashface]

Pretty stacked cast - should be elite viewing.

Enough days marrooned will help with those excess weight. It'll sort him out again.
