Presented byJonathan LaPagliaWinnerJericho MalabongaLocationUpolu, Samoa

The fourth season of Australian Survivor is a television series based on the international reality game show franchise Survivor. It is the second season to air on the Network Ten, following the network acquiring the broadcast rights to the Australian Survivor franchise in late 2015. The season premiered on 30 July 2017.[1]

Like the previous season, the program was filmed on the Samoan island of Upolu and featured 24 Australian castaways competing for 55 days in the Samoan jungle for a grand prize of A$500,000. Jonathan LaPaglia returned to host the series for his second season.

On the 10th of October, 2017, Jericho Malabonga was revealed to be the winner over Tara Pitt by a vote of 6–3.

Production

Casting

The series was renewed on 23 October 2016. Upon the announcement of renewal, a casting call was made for potential contestants for the new season.[2] Over 20,000 people applied for the new season.[3]

Twists

This season featured multiple game-play twists for the first time in the series. This season introduced the super-idol which had the power to nullify the use of any other idol at one tribal council (not to be confused with the post-vote negating idol seen first in the American format's Panama season). This season also introduced several 'moral dilemmas' into the game which forced contestants to choose between two luxuries; one that benefits the entire tribe and one that only benefits the finder.

This season also saw the return of non-elimination episodes from season 3, the first of which saw a double tribal council where two contestants were sequentially voted out and sent to the opposing tribe. The following day, two contestants of the other tribe were then required to volunteer to switch to the tribe to replace them. The second non-elimination episode saw the contestants of one tribe vote for one of their members to receive a reward. The third featured a Tribal Council mutiny and the fourth featured a juror elimination.

This season also introduced a variety of twists previously seen on the American format including the initial marooning, the hiding of an immunity idol at challenges (first seen in Cambodia), tribal mutiny (first seen in Thailand) and jury member elimination (as seen in Kaôh Rōng).

Notes

  1. ^ On Day 20, after voting out one castaway at Tribal Council, Samatau was instructed to immediately vote out another tribe member. Unbeknownst to them, both voted out castaways would be temporarily exiled before joining Asaga. Since this episode featured two vote-offs, each contestant's votes were not aired in the closing credits. In exit interviews that have occurred since the airing of this episode, it has been revealed that many details about whom contestants voted for were omitted from the episode due to time constraints.[4] Specifically, the fact that the second vote-off originally resulted in a tie was not even alluded to
  2. ^ a b c d The Tribal Council vote resulted in a tie. Per the rules, a second vote was held where the castaways involved in the tie would not vote and the remaining castaways could only vote for those who tied.
  3. ^ a b Instead of being eliminated from the game, Tara and Anneliese were switched to Asaga. As a result of this twist, Asaga had to choose two tribemates to swap to Samatau. They chose Ben & Henry.
  4. ^ Tessa played a hidden immunity idol, therefore six votes against her were negated.
  5. ^ a b c d e f g h i j This contestant was only able to vote for one other contestant, thus they were not eligible to vote.
  6. ^ The second Tribal Council vote also resulted in a tie. As there were only four castaways remaining, the two tied castaways would compete in a fire making challenge to resolve the tie.
  7. ^ a b Michelle lost to Jericho in the fire-making tiebreaker.
  8. ^ On Day 50, for winning the special reward challenge, Jericho earned the power to eliminate one of the first eight jurors. He chose Tessa.
