[@Bazzlieo]

Aside from the dip in quality with blood vs water, AU has been stronger pretty consistently since it started up again in 2016 They aren’t lazy, they take risks, they’re creative, they trust their cast and audience more regularly. The only thing US does better is balanced editing of all the contestants, but that’s it

[@BanditSurvivorContent]

I can understand why some contestants are more so "background characters" in AU due to 24 person casts and it catering more towards the casual fanbase but should have given contestants like Raymond, Kitty and Rhianna more screentime. Similar to you however that really is my only *main* flaw.

[@317sportsball]

AU Survivor has slayed the US version since post-covid. Editing can be rough at times given the inconsistent distribution of shown confessionals, but it also packs a punch for very memorable contestants. I also think JLP is an excellent host that consistently steps up his game in terms of charisma and slick humor.

[@BanditSurvivorContent]

JLP has definitely improved with each season and provides a really unique host from a characteristic/insight perspective!

[@titopothos7037]

I love Survivor US but right now Australian Survivor is way much better in terms of CAST, editing, twists, reward and number of quality episodes. Maybe US can consider 47-day format? 26 days is kind of meh. Kudos to Australian Survivor - Titans Vs Rebel! Great season! Also excellent hosting Sir JLP!

[@BanditSurvivorContent]

Titans vs Rebels completely blew me away. I was worried they wouldn't be able to top Heroes vs Villains but they definitely proved me wrong! And they proved they could make a very solid season with just newbies.

[@freezi1956]

Australian Survivor overtook american as thé best version of Survivor in my opinion ,US Survivor just not it post 40th season

[@itzwakk335]

Yeah if we're talking as a whole US isn't touched but modern day? Au clears

[@BanditSurvivorContent]

I think something Australian Survivor does well is encapsulating the "teens and twenties" of Survivor that a lot of Survivor fans look at with great memories. There's themes and considering it's 24 episodes it's more grounded (with only one really bad twist this season which is weirdly an improvement on modern Survivor seasons)

[@BanditSurvivorContent]

That's amazing to hear dude! Thanks for checking out the content aha

[@entity22]

I'm a European fan of Survivor and have been watching it since I was a teen, when it first started. For me I'd say Australian Survivor is better now, partly because the format is better than what US Survivor is doing now and partly because it's lacking the US type of flashiness, I can't really explain it but it's this American entertainment thing. I've liked plenty of players in the new US Survivor era, I actually like that the cast now is more diverse in every way, that there's fewer of those typical big macho model looking guys, typical fit, cool, hollywood actress looking girls, I like that there's all kinds of quirky personalities, people of all types, with stand out personalities(be it in a good or annoying way). But it's become flashier, glossier, I don't like the going on a journey thing, I don't like all the beware advantages and I think the shortened format takes a lot away, it's different when both the audience and the contestants know it's a 40+ day journey to the end vs a 27 day one. By contrast, Australian Survivor feels more gritty, more difficult on the survival aspect, there's more players and to get to the end stages you have to last a long time and more eliminations. Another thing is I feel like there's more elaborate strategising and some players who seem to really have this fascinating ability to read situations and people, to think strategically like it was a chess game almost and thrive in chaos. Challenges are often harder too, more rewards and it feels like the reward is more special when the game goes on for so much longer, they usually nail the extra twists like having a couple of non eliminations at the right time or the tribal where they have a challenge to see who gets the right to vote. I'm starting to feel the same about The Amazing Race AU but they're more equal to me

[@BanditSurvivorContent]

A great overall analysis thank you! Great to see another European fan also!

[@highonsugar6273]

I might just be stupid but I feel like the advantages in US survivor are too complicated and confusing to keep up with for me

[@BanditSurvivorContent]

The big thing is a lot of them don't work well *together* eg. the confusion about the extra vote and the vote nullifier in Survivor 44. Or the steal a vote alongside losing your vote on journeys.

[@highonsugar6273]

Only thing I would argue is worse in Australian survivor is the edit, but I prefer the twists, returnees, advantages, casts and length of the Australian seasons, although I might be biased because I’m Australian and have only watched the last 5 US seasons. The Australian edit is just frustrating because it’s the thing that holds the seasons back from being amazing, and it doesn’t seem to be getting better

[@BanditSurvivorContent]

The issue is by about Week 1 are only really 6-8 legitimate winner contenders which is a bit worrying considering the cast size is 24. But apart from that it is really good!

[@survivorrankings]

You've inspired me, I need to see Survivor International Invasion! US vs Australia, best of the best from each series. I'll definitely be doing a video putting a cast together for that dream season. I wish Survivor South Africa stuck around so we could have 3 tribes as they had some really fun players as well. Great video mate! I feel that due to the length of Australian Survivor, it can be really hit or miss. It really depends on the cast, and who in the cast makes it far, because in Australian Survivor you'll be spending a huge amount of time with them, due to so many episodes. It means that Australian Survivor can be brutal to get through if there aren't really interesting people who stick around, which sometimes there isn't. Rebels vs Titans got lucky that the more interesting players took over the game early on both tribes and the less interesting players (the couples alliance on the original rebels except for Alex of course, and Frankie, Jess and Nathan on the Titans) went home early. So this season down here is an absolute marathon to watch, like any season of Aussie Survivor, but the cast is making it so much fun! It really is depending on the cast and who from the cast makes it far into the game. American survivor, due to it's shorter run time is more consistent, but most of my favourite Survivor players of the last decade are Australian players, because we get to spend more time getting to know them and falling in love with them.

Idk if this is a hot take or not but i actually prefer how au survivor edits their contestants. I mean, imo it makes for better tv. Imagine if we got less feras or kirby just to make room for others who were either less important or less entertaining? Plus i like that we get a satisfying winner at the end. Erika was a great winner with a shit edit.. for what?

[@ollie5464]

I completely agree. On balance the pro’s significantly outweighs the cons. Is it better to have two tribes with more contestants over a longer period? Yes. Then the natural consequence is a less balanced confessional for all contestants instead focussing on ‘the main characters’ of each episode.

BTW 3 tribes doesn't actually give you no where to hide, if you're tribe is bad at challenges sure, but in multiple seasons we've seen multiple tribes just coast to merge almost entirely intact

[@mikenolin8747]

3 tribes makes Tribal way to small to start the season off. I want to see more people having input/making moves and being involved in the early tribals. Its even worse when one player loses a vote to a beware advantage. You know only 4 or 5 people are voting. Its boring imo

[@BanditSurvivorContent]

That's a good point. Production definitely feel (as evidenced by their On Fire Podcast) that it leaves nowhere to hide but nowadays someone can be on winning tribes and win the individual immunity at the split tribal twist and make it to Final 10.

[@andyadams420]

I would love to see Australia vs U.S. Survivor. George, Simon, Mark, Feras, Shonee, Hayley, Liz, and/or Kirby would be fun to see how they'd play in America.

[@BanditSurvivorContent]

Interesting insight! Thanks for the comment my friend!

[@JSDSandiego]

I really enjoyed AUS the first several years - now, I think production rigs it for their favorites. It seems very odd to me, how people went almost all season without targeting Feras, David(7) and George(8 and 10). Some of the advantages and "Mock vote twist" that George received seemed uncanny. Some examples: -in s8 ep.1: George gets an advantage to save himself and 5 ADDITIONAL contestants in TC, is ridiculously over-powered. He would likely be the first boot otherwise. -in S8, Cara and George each save themselves with an HII, Cara also gets the "The tribe voted you out, but you'll just joined the opposite tribe ahead of the merge" twists, which really helped gain them the numbers over the Brains alliance. -George skips the S10 E1 TC due to medical -in the survivor auction on 10.09, George easily wins the bid for a lunch retreat, where a hidden immunity idol is plainly laying on the table.

[@Apples800]

Finally someone else has realised this! George was obviously helped out a bunch by the producers. He would have been booted first in S8 if they didn’t give him a very overpowered advantage. Paul deserved a better chance.

[@Turtleoptimist]

He still has the best gameplay I’ve ever seen on any survivor season.

[@BanditSurvivorContent]

I do think some of the twists are pre-decided like the Heroes vs Villains and Titans vs Rebels challenges at tribal due to the episode slots not having reward challenges. Some of the idols hidden in Brains vs Brawn was straight up bad though lol

[@mississippitornado6842]

Survivor AU is just better nowadays, like the US one just bores me, while everyone seems more diverse its actually quite the opposite since they all think, talk and act the same and have the same jobs

[@_Odyssia_]

South African here. I used to watch Survivor a lot as a kid and the ones that obviously stood out to me was Survivor Heroes vs Villians or any season that had Sandra, Boston Rob, Pavarti and Russell. But as I grew older, I fell out of it. I only recently got back to watching it last year with Survivor 44 and 45, and I loved them. But I liked 45 a lot more than 44 because the Tika Three stooges were the stars of the show and made it a lot more entertaining than the rest of the cast members, challenges or any twists and advantages that were there. 45 was nicely balanced. I then got bit by the Survivor bug and wanted to watch some more, and realized that Survivor Aus was currently playing. I underestimated it at first and thought "This Survivor has nothing on US Survivor!" Boy, was I so wrong, and I've never been happier to be wrong 😂! The difference in cinematography, game play, challenges, alliances, tribal councils, blindsideds etc, to the American one are worlds apart! I never thought that Aus Survivor got me so hooked that I'd immediately watch exit interviews , jury villa confessionals and super fan Zoom videos on KZbin after watching an episode. It even got me thinking should I apply to be in Aus Survivor since Survivor SA isn't there anymore. I'm now an absolute fan of Survivor Australia and I'm going to binge watch the previous ones before Titans vs Rebels. Ps: I've never watched Survivor South Africa and I'm very sad that it's not there anymore , and even if I could apply for it, I couldn't because I was still in high school while it was running 😭. Im 24 now , but I'm curious to those who have seen most, if not all, is it any good and does it measure up to the American and Australian version?

[@ajm2862]

Watch the south african one! Last 4 seasons were great

[@thenullifiedtake]

Love seeing more South Africans in the fan community. I agree with the other comment here you need to watch Survivor South Africa it had some really solid seasons in recent times. Also I still hold hope that it will return.

[@BanditSurvivorContent]

I think a lot of people are apprehensive about checking out international versions of Survivor (I knew I was when I was hearing about it a few years ago) but I really enjoy the international seasons and think they are a great addition to the franchise!

[@TryinBin8889]

wow great video! I do have some things I want to add on as an aussie, but I think I'll just stick to one interesting cultural difference about Australia people may not know: 6:58 I just found it hilarious how your comparison to blue collar jobs was Lachie the carpenter. In Australia, tradies (electricians, carpenters, plumbers etc) are actually part of Australia's upper class. I know what you were trying to do was show how US survivor has more upper-class jobs, while Aus has more representation down to lower class (since in the US tradies are considered lower class), but what you actually did was a middle-upper class job (clinical psychologist) compared to an aussie middle-upper class job (tradie). Australia also has much to do in terms of occupational representation as well- or does it? It's interesting how Aus seems to value more of its occupations, such as fast food, healthcare and tradie workers, and so representation between different fields and classes doesn't seem as important since there's a cultural respect and egalitarianism between them all (except our politicans, our politicans are actualy devils spawn). Compared to the US, where classism and difference between jobs has a lot more negative connotations and stereotypes

[@byronmayes5904]

I actually thought it was a good comparison. I remember reading somewhere Simon quit his job to become a Carpenter on minimum wage just so he could be in charge of his own life. Although specific detail surrounding Simon's circumstance should have been brought up in the video (although I can understand if Bandit didn't want to bring that up in public in a video)

[@BanditSurvivorContent]

Thanks for your kind words! I do find it interesting that AU Survivor shows off a lot of jobs like retail ect. more "normal" jobs than the specialised jobs Survivor US tends to go for.

[@andrewjerome6573]

The United States Survivor and Australian Survivor remind me of a teacher and a student. The American survivor is the teacher who showed how it’s done, but has recently gotten old and is not producing such a great performance. Australian Survivor, meanwhile is the eager student that learnt quickly and improved on an already amazing product

[@BanditSurvivorContent]

A great analogy! Thanks for the insight Andrew!

[@castform5032]

The thing with confessionals in Australian survivor is that it’s not the know all end all in Au survivor we have longer tribal councils mat chat ETC even without many confessionals we still get to know the players pretty well

[@Pixi701]

after getting more and more dissapointed with new era us survivor, I started watching titans v rebels after the first 2 46 season episodes. I binged it through in a matter of days, I loved it so much, it was so much more diverse and chaotic, way less kumbaja, and two big tribes have so much more chances for interior drama. Titans v rebels had constant voote changes and like 4 long lasting rivalies. US could never nowadays. Only 2 problem I really have with australia, is the editing really shafting many players a lot and the challenges, especially post merge tend to be really favoring a certain type of competitor and are pretty much all physical, so many players just never stand a chance to win immunity, because they are so damn brutal. They are all very unique and cool t look at, but often need a similar skill set.

[@jesusisking8502]

US Survivor has gone woke. It is also weird editing as it just slides into the episode with the awesome Survivor sound track nowhere to be heard. I like nostalgia, the Aussie version keeps it more old school and the host is buff and looks like he lives on the Island or something as well a being pretty funny. :)

[@jacksonhart5961]

I’m someone who really enjoys both versions alot and invests a lot of time and energy to both Australian and American Survivor. Contrary to popular opinion, I love both of them, and I really dislike that most people who like AUS just use it as an excuse to bash the US version even more. I think the main thing I notice about US vs AUS is the intent/level of passion of the producers. The US version producers see the show as their passion. You can feel with every article, every Jeff podcast, and interview that Jeff and his team love Survivor with all their being, and they put pure passion and effort into every second of the show. The Australian producers are more generic TV producers who are mostly concerned with getting ratings and having shocking moments. It’s a job rather than a passion to them. Feels more corporate. The Australian version is more entertaining in a vacuum, but it doesn’t have a deeper meaning like the US show does. AUS primarily presents as a strategic game of idols, blindsides and big brute challenges, which is more entertaining, but it’s not art. We don’t get to know much of the players outside of the game. I would not call it trashy, but it’s more popcorn entertainment. Looking at the promos, it’s definitely a lot more sensationalist. The US version on the other hand presents itself as a journey of self discovery set inside of a complex strategy game. It’s a lighter vibe, everyone is nice for the most part and it focuses a lot on inner strength and personal growth. It’s less entertaining in a bubble but it’s more emotionally powerful on the whole and it feels like the proceed really want to achieve a deeper meaning about humanity. Just listen to the music of both versions to get an idea of what I mean This isn’t for or against either version, both are awesome shows, just an observation.

Having watched all US Survivor and all AU Survivor series, I would say the quality of AU contestants were sub-standard and most of them were not competitive and more interested in doing a Big Brother show rather than Survivor. In the latest season, the quality had improved with people like Feras, Mark and Kirby. AU producers need to get away from making Survivor into a Big Brother show and the before merge challenges into another AFL match. US producers are good at making creative uses of Immunity Idols which usually beings a lot more challenges into the game, but in the latest season, AU had introduced a hilarious and most challenging idol play.

In recent years, Australian survivor by a mile. But it does still have its weaknesses. Both “King George” plots in S8 and S10 are infuriating. In S8 first tribal council, he gets an advantage to save him, and an additional 5 PEOPLE?? The AU Heroes VS Villains Final 5 is very disappointing. You have George and 4 of his pawns to follow him up. After Simon got eliminated, they last few episodes were a bit of a bore fest. Liz, Nina, Gerry, and don’t even get me started with Matt (the definition of floater) are boring as hell to watch. I much prefer where S11 is heading right now. I live in NZ so we Are a few episodes behind, but we are currently up to Final 8 and I LOVE IT! Seeing so many rivalries and so many risky plays is so fun to watch. It does have its weaknesses like Kirby and Feras eating up everyone’s screen time. But overall I think it’s been really great so far.

Format: AU (I think 2x9 > 2x24 but US refuses to do it so) Editing/Storytelling: US Casting: AU Gameplay: AU Release Format: AU (3 episodes a week is amazing) Rewatchability: US (Au is better when it's coming out but US is far better on a rewatch) Challenges: US but it's close and I don't fault you if you think AU is better, just think US has better equity and variety than AU

[@knox2tall]

Au is way better us is good tho

[@lunamarisd.o.o.8931]

AU Survivor is much better than US version in the last 4-5 season. More interesting contestants with interesting characters vs lame characters in the US version, almost like they (the producers) are playing it too safe in order not to offend the US vievers with possible confrontations. The new twists that the US Survivor tries to introduce in every new seson, are not exciting and are only a detrement to the original game. They should get back to basics...two tribes, more idols in play and most important, a better choice of contestants with large personalities. After all it is the contestants that make or brake a memorable season, something the US Survivor has not managed to do in the past seasons.

The contestants on the US version have been terrible the past few seasons. I tried watching this season but that guy who is crying all the time made it unwatchable. I may give it another shot once he is gone.

Australia is way better

[@kmanpr]

Competition wise Australian is far more physical than US most of the AU players are huge this year most got voted out early but the Challenges were awesome US I think they are having auditions at Comic Con and Starbucks but they are more strategical, AU they all talk strategies 3 feet apart this season Raymond advantage of all Vote me out was entertaining but wow look even scripted. Advantage AU too is three times a Week.

AU11 is miles ahead of US46, way less crying and more people playing the game.

[@ConorKelly]

Australian survivor is the winner - it’s more vicious, rough and characters are easier to remember and are not sanitized like the Americans. JLP has out jeffed Jeff. I am up to date with Australian survivor ( Ferris) but am only on Season 44 US - so I have to come back to this video again. Jeff I think should replace himself cause he seems bored, spent and tired - I really hate saying this , also he allowed the fat lady to enter his space when he dropped the word ‘guys’ and worse of all- every business person knows the customer is always right and by saying he doesn’t care what people say not only proved he rubbed sanitizer all over himself it proved the start of his downfall, he would want to move over before the fat lady puts the mic down.

Australian survivor is so much better

Straya survivor for me

[@criss_wardo2796]

I haven't enjoyed a post-covid season of Survivor yet. I could count on one hand the number of AU contestants I've actually enjoyed watching and who have had any kind of gameplay and the editing of AU survivor is TERRIBLE. US I haven't gotten into either but I think that's more due to the game changes than the casting. If US played like AU and AU cast like US, maybe I'd be having a good time. 🤷‍♂️

[@aMxx-]

Here is the thing. Australian casting imo is better. It does need to get better in terms of racial diversity but it’s cast of characters is just so good

[@stereohype1]

What? The 2024 season included a Nepalese, a Pacific Islander, an Indigenous Australian, an Arab, a Thai, a Russian & a South Sudanese

100000% Australian survivor

[@njc84]

When Oz first came out, I preferred it for a few years. I loved the longer/extra episodes as I always felt 1 hour US Survivor a week (which is 42 mins run time), was rushed, BUT I haven't enjoyed Oz the last 3 or 4 seasons and often stop watching part way through. 3 episodes a week is overkill and I don't like the editing/themes that are essentially the same thing (Titans Vs Rebels is just Champions Vs Contenders). HvV was also so frustrating with "King George" dominating every episode, and teasing us that he might go in almost every preview for the next episode when we know full well he won't until very late. Also had a lot of dud players who were sheep. Oz also casts very similar people every season (footie players, ex pro athletes, really big guys etc). The casts aren't diverse enough for me. I haven't enjoyed an Oz season since All-Stars. On the flip side, I love that US Survivor now has 90 min episodes (slightly over 1 hour run time) once a week (it's the perfect amount), but I'm not a fan of all the twists they throw in, especially players losing their votes, but all in all, I'd rather just watch 1 US episode per week than 3 Oz. That's one of the big drawbacks for me, I don't want to watch Survivor 3 nights a week (4 if you watch both versions since they overlap), it's too much to keep up with. I also wish Oz would air their annual season around June-August time, that way they'd not clash with US. They must know their viewers watch it as well.

[@JoeMarch-wj1oy]

Australian Survivor viewers do not watch US Survivor because American Survivor is so bad it is painful.

[@fukayusugma2074]

This video was overly critical of the US version and VERY (and I do mean VERY) forgiving of some crucial flaws of Australian Survivor. I have at least finished every US season of Survivor. I have given up on some seasons of Australian Survivor because of the poor editing and ludicrous twists. For example, the EOE twist in US Survivor was hammered endlessly but we're expected to just overlook that it's super common for players in the AU version to just get voted out and not leave the game or receive any penalty at all they move tribes. That's just one example, but you see the point I'm trying to illustrate. The US version is just held to a higher standard than the international version. But, with any objectivity, the US version is better. Higher caliber gameplay, better editing, less nonsensical twits in the game, extra.

[@petermarshall7352]

If ya only count US survivor before new era, it is! This new era full of hipsters and folks who cannot complete a sentence sucks

[@elenaperez6294]

Australian Survivor is way better than US Survivor. US has gone down the last few seasons.

[@Magus86]

What are you saying?!?! Survivore AU has 90% physical challenges. It's soooo monotonous and unfair

[@ricardothompson3205]

I don't see a problem in representation. But is this woke casting really diverse?

[@byronmayes5904]

Define what you mean by "woke"?

👁 ❤️ 🇦🇺 🏝

[@freddytang2128]

Feel like Aussie survivor has some very obvious pros and cons. The challenges are great. The twists and non elimination episodes are very high and miss. But the biggest con is that the editing is even more lopsided. In a typical episode 2 people might get 10 confessionals each and 2 people might get 0. It’s like very obvious who are the players that matter, and some players are reduced to NPCs or just a pawn

[@greenmanalishi6963]

US Survivor went too woke for me. I prefer only watching Australia Survivor

[@NaenaeBoy]

Australian survivor is way better now. American survivir is cheap and woke these days. Such a shame.

@@lallana2882 '“Guy” is no longer uniformly sex-specific. The plural form, guys, has become gender-inclusive in one subset of its functions - when it is used as a vocative, as in “Hi guys”, or more broadly to address people in the second person, as in “What are you guys doing tonight?”'

[@jtseidemann1]

I have seen every episode of us survivor. The first 20 season great the new modern area SUCKS there graded-D- barely watchable!!! I have seen six seasons of Australian Survivor hands-down 10 times better. better challenges better players none of this ethnic diversity. I’m gay. You’re lesbian none of that nonsense in Australian Survivor challenge are better. Cast is better 10 times better than Survivor. Hands down A+++++ USA Survivor can take notes from Australian Survivor!!! at one time US survivor was good now it is not!!!!!
