Season overview

Australian Survivor, which premiered in 2016, is a reality television series created by Charlie Parsons and produced by EndemolShine Australia in association with Castaway Television. The first season aired on the Ten network from August 21 to October 25, 2016. The program features 24 contestants, ranging in age from 23 to 62, who are marooned on the South Pacific island of Samoa. Among the participants are a private investigator, a professional cricketer, a criminal lawyer, a firefighter, and a magician.

Deprived of basic comforts, the contestants must build their own shelters, light their own fires, and gather their own food while fending for themselves. Throughout the season, the participants face extreme temperatures and fierce tropical storms. They compete in physically demanding challenges and engage in strategic gameplay to remain in the competition. The contestants are pushed to their limits as they navigate the environment and the social dynamics of the game. The ultimate winner of the season receives a prize of 500,000 dollars and the title of Australia’s Sole Survivor. The series is hosted by Jonathan LaPaglia.
