Update as February 15th, 2022: It seems Paramount+ randomly took down all of the seasons (Australia, New Zealand, South Africa). I don't know why and I'm not sure if/when they'll come back. I'll update this message if things change. Really disappointing. Regardless of Paramount+, I still recommend checking out Australian Survivor.

[@bdeutsch314]

Managed to binge Brains v Brawn in its entirety (thanks to this video!) and thankfully finished the day before it was pulled. Ugh. What a shame.

[@miches1892]

So DEVOED!! It was my favorite.

[@randygreen007]

It isn’t coming back. They did this with another show when it was simply CBS. I canceled my subscription to Paramount plus for this reason. They could have at least given us warning!

[@jplaza68]

I was appalled by the decision by Paramount Plus to take out Australian Survivor. I have become a big fan of their version and refuse to watch the American version because of the "woke" mentality. The only way we can watch it now is on the 10Play app using a VPN. Which is way to risky to do. I have canceled my Paramount Plus. I did wait for 1883 to finish their season, though.

[@TioMogi]

@@jplaza68 why would it be risky? It's free on 10play so it's not like you're really doing anything wrong

[@lachysims6327]

all us Australians appreciate this very much, also yes we know our version has heapssss of flaws

[@WoodlandT]

I love your version so much! I watched all the more recent seasons between 40 & 41 of US. I found myself almost let down by the brevity & by comparison, rushed editing of American Survivor. It was a shock to the system after at first. And I’ve gotta say, I love JLP. He isn’t quite as sassy as Jeff. But he gives us so much of what we love about Probst without it feeling like an imitation. You’ve got a great show. I hope it continues for many more seasons!

[@AnnaMarkarova]

I loved Australian survivor! Recently watched the last season and I loved people and now I want to travel to Australia!

[@kellymitchell7164]

I’m loving Australian survivor. Two things I’ve noticed: Australians seem to be able to take losing in challenges better than Americans. I always see the winning team saying nice things to the losing team, and the losing team smiling back at them. I don’t see that in US survivor. I’d HATE it if the winning team that’s about to go eat burgers tried to shake my hand or say “bad luck guys!” 😅 I’m just a sore loser, so I love to see how much more MATURE the Australian players seem to be. Maybe it’s editing 🤷🏻‍♀️ Other thing I notice is how much STRONGER the contestants seem to be. I just watched that hug-the-pole challenge in the 2016 one. I think the winner lasted SIX HOURS ? Correct me if I’m wrong, but the longest an American lasted was..2 hours? Not even? Almost all the female Australian players have washboard abs. And I mean…55 days vs. our now 26 days. Y’all are just tougher! Respect.

[@verinonrenthar9176]

I love that you made this video, but IMO, it doesn't go far enough into how AU is better than US Survivor. For example, ever wondered how the players strategize about how they're gonna do a challenge, just before it starts? AU has that. And yeah, some people get over shadowed in the edit, but the people that are overshadowed *get more screen time in general* than their US counterparts, simply because there's more episodes and more footage of them talking strategy. And yeah there are some advantages and the occasional Redemption Island, but they're used sparingly, unlike US. Another oddity I noticed while binging AU Survivor is that almost everyone is super nice to each other. Australians just seem like nice people.

[@jenniferconstantine9041]

Yes, the cast is much more likeable and nice. It reminds me of the early seasons of Survivor where everybody wasn't a game bot.

[@frida.7831]

Well, in Brains vs Brawn the edit was a mess for a great season. One of the mid merge boots didn't get any confessional after the merge and the 7th place didn't have a confessional like two thirds of the episodes

[@xJwp2525x]

I agree with the last part heavily, one of my biggest gripes with US survivor is some players not being able to respect the game as a game. US survivor players get so bitter in a hypocritical way, while in AUS the majority of players commend good gameplay / deceit in the end if it was the right move.

[@kellymitchell7164]

YES about that last part! I notice the winning team always shaking hands/patting backs of the losing team, and the losing team smiling back at them. Just like “bad luck guys!” That’d never happen in US survivor. Or it’s edited out? But as an American myself, I am a SORE loser and can only imagine I’d just be giving a death glare to the winning team as they go off to eat burgers 😅

[@jaycartwright5333]

David Genat is honestly one of the greatest survivors of all time worldwide and would be on par with Boston Rob in terms of gameplay.

[@Jacobmelrose26]

That's a tough comparison. I honestly would probably give the edge to David for being a little more evolved. Don't think Rob would ever work out a secret deal with an opposing alliances leader to get revenge on one of his own. That was pretty damn gangster. 😂 Rob will always be a legend but he kinda falls victim to the older era of Survivor sadly.

[@cleigh113]

David is the very top player

[@duglascampbell7967]

No way Luke toki better than Dave Jericho is the most humble

[@gdbssa]

Tony Vlachos > Boston Rob

[@MegaUnavailableusern]

Boston rob is outdated in todays game. There's several players in survivor season 41 alone that are far more skilled than david.

As someone who watches Survivor for editing I wish the editing was more balanced. Other than that definitely a 10/10

[@MUDGameshows]

[@freddytang2128]

Agree. In champion vs contender 2, only one contender woman had any air time. Every other woman is like “who’s that again? Anyways she’s gone. Next”

[@Lgrftgf]

[@freddytang2128]

[@um773]

The 2017 season was the best with editing. I think only Ben and Odette got shafted.

[@dragonzord6615]

My main criticism of our Survivor in Australia is the frankenbiting. So many edits of sentences that just have been clipped from multiple other sentences... Sounds really off, almost to the point of it seeming like the editors just making up whole things sometimes. Like someone will be talking, then halfway through it goes loud, then the next word is quiet again, then loud again...

[@ericmicke4130]

Maybe not with the level of sound but US Survivor does the same. I was just watching and interview with Ricard where he pointed out that the audio playing during a conversation with him and Shan was actually Shan talking to someone else at a different time. But the camera was showing the back of Shans head and Ricard just reacting to it. And it made it look like Ricard was being told by Shan what the plan was for a vote when in reality it was Ricard who came up with the idea in the first place. So always have to remember there are heavy edits to tell the narrative the producers and editors want to tell.

[@Cbobley]

I watched Champions VS Contenders 2 and it just blows every US season out of the water. They actually develop the characters. The challenges are rough and high stakes. It’s longer. It’s brutal, cutthroat, and every episode has big moves and blindsides. It’s AWESOME.

[@punkw7852]

Absolutely!! The contestants are athletes that show good sportsmanship, win or lose. They compete for their team’s win, not the individual show they are setting up to be an internet character after the season wraps up. The Australian, and all other non-US survivor shows are about the sport & competition. I’m so glad we (US) have access to a few of these seasons.

[@frida.7831]

And that wasn't even a top 2 season IMO. Season 2 and Brains vs Brawns were even better.

[@simoncosgrave6299]

Everyone talks about S2 of Aus Survivor being the best but honestly I think Champions vs Contenders 2 doesn’t get anywhere near enough credit. The storytelling is fantastic and the cast, especially the ones they focus on the most overall, are very compelling. Big characters, great strategic gameplay, unpredictable votes/blindsides, frequent power shifts, it’s brilliant. Maybe I need to watch S2 again to compare but Dirty Harry, Golden God David, King of the Jungle Luke, Janine The Godmother, Pia the Smiling Assassin, the dominant girls alliance, Pia’s FTC, the Abbey blindside, the emotionally charged tribal when Luke goes, his insane immunity run, and even stuff from pre merge with the downfall of the sporty alliance, David and Shaun’s rivalry, Harry’s idol plays, Daisy’s betrayal of David, I could go on for hours. It’s a terrific season!

Yo, coming back to this video after Australian Survivor Titans vs Rebels ended, literally my favourite season and second favourite winner of all time, please make another video cos we had: 1. Two big players out for each other in the pre-merge, who then form a bond and work with each other throughout the merge, finally coming to a heartbreaking end. 2. Pretty much everyone playing in the merge was active and had a chance to win. 3. Great use of idols, fake idols and the new "Ultimate Vote" advantage. Blindsides were great to watch. 4. Very diverse cast, with a mixture of funny, calculating and mischievous personalities. 5. Even in the Final Tribal Council I was impressed by the runner-up's speech despite knowing they had no chance. 6. The production quality and the cinematography is crazy good (editing might be skewed but personally I didn't mind).

Alright I’m just gonna jump in and say as an Australian it’s really weird to me because even though I’m a superfan I actually prefer US and SA over my own country’s version overall. I think that AU has produced some great characters and players, but the seasons themselves I personally only loved 2 of them and the others I’m not really very high on at all and I find them pretty overrated. However thats just how I feel, it seems to be an incredibly unpopular opinion though amongst the fan community that I’m not really that into AU, particularly the most recent season. Peridiam loved the last season, but I didn’t really Ps. For anyone who is curious Season 4 is my fave by far. I think they absolutely nailed it and peaked during then. Then my second fave is Season 2 which at the time I didn’t really like that much but I rewatched and it improved a lot more for me so that’s the other season I would say I enjoyed. The rest of them I’m pretty meh on/didn’t like. I wish I felt better about the quality of the show especially because last season my friend and I hosted viewing parties for the premiere and finale, they still went well from a social side of things but I didn’t like last season

[@isabellaearnhardt6380]

I agree about the last season and memorable players :-)

[@arshaddahlan]

As someone that's not watched any AU seasons, which ones would you say are the best? Would love to go and try them out! Big love from Sri Lanka! 💛

[@ChrisD0707]

@@arshaddahlan so the 2 ones that I enjoyed were 2017 and 2019 season aka Season’s 2 and 4 Although if this was a tier ranking I actually would put 4 like a tier above 2. However the majority of fans love 2 more

[@Forest9528]

Really because as a South African I personally think that the Australian and American one consistently produce straight up better players. Don't get me wrong there has been some amazing South African players but when you look at Australia champions Vs contenders there was like 5 players who could easily have been some of the greatest of all time imo. Harry and David for sure my 2 absolute favorites

[@Forest9528]

@@arshaddahlan personally I've only watched the 3 most recent seasons but champions Vs contenders and all stars are probably my 2 favourite seasons of survivor period

Australian vs USA is being worked on as the next season of Aus Survivor after Brains vs Brawn 2 which finished filming this month.

[@minners19]

I love love love how they show them "scrambling!" US version shows maybe a minute or two on it, but AUS shows a good 10 minutes! Drrrraammmma! Me loves it!

[@ReedsAuto]

I just started watching Australian Survivor. After the horribleness that was season 41 of American Survivor, the Aussies have been a breathe of fresh air.

[@queenrhonnie1000]

I just found Australian Survivor and it is a whole vibe! If you love Survivor why wouldn’t you love more days and more people. I see no down side. I love your reference to “day dot”. And what about how they don’t say good on her instead of good for her. Lol. Their accents are much easier to understand than the British. I am a fan!

[@MichaelSPrice]

The physicality is actually present. The American version has turned into a cupcake pillow fight. The Aussie version is more true to what made American Survivor once great.

[@anonarat]

Funny story. Ages ago one of your videos popped up on my recommended and reminded me that I enjoyed watching Survivor when I was a kid. American Survivor is hard to get at over here, but Australian Survivor is on Amazon Prime. So one of your videos maybe half a year ago got me watching Australian Survivor, and now it's come full circle. With Australian Survivor in particular I feel like one of the biggest changes is the cultural one. It's definitely great.

[@elenarobinson3650]

As an Aussie its funny how you Pronounce Aussie as Ozzie😂 I love that the Aussie players are a bit more kind and trusting rather than backstabbing and rude (no offence US just an observation) but i like that the game has a stronger sense of family while still maintaining a good level of drama throughout

[@awoyaletemitope8096]

If you still have doubts over how good Australian Survivor is???? Just watch Australian Survivor 2017‼️‼️‼️‼️ One of the best seasons......in fact TOP 3 ALL TIME SURVIVOR SEASONS

[@Luv2tickt]

YES...the challenges are FAR more wicked in Australian Survivor than the US counterpart. No idea why they couldn't do those same challenges for the US version. I didn't know about the New Zealand or South African ones, so thanks! When we're done with Champions vs Challengers Part Deux, we will have to check those out as well. Thanks!

[@XanArt21]

The au survivor 2017 season is the best ever. What a great bunch and amazing ride.

[@vianorae]

Binged watch all seasons of Survivor Au and it has been great! And my greatest wish is to have an ultimate Survivor game... U.S. tribe VS. AU tribe

How come.noone is mentioning LUKE TOKI in the comments‼️‼️‼️‼️ The most entertaining player on Reality TV‼️

Watching Australian HvV right now and it’s some of the best TV I’ve seen in years. Great characters and strategy. Hope you enjoyed it as well Peridiam!

OMG! I am SO Happy to hear they've dropped the rest of the seasons plus New Zealand!? I haven't watched US Survivor in years, decided to watch this season and was just not excited about it. Started watched Australian Survivor and LOVED it instantly. The people are great, the competitions are amazing, and I love there are more episodes so you get to know everyone. Now I need to go home and sit myself in front of the TV and watch ALL the Australian episodes!!!

[@elchristrejo882]

Mexican survivor season 2 had more than 100 episodes of 2 hours each And the final 7 were there there like almost 4 months

[@meltylove]

THANK YOUUUUUUUU survivor aus deserves better ITS INSANELY GOOOOD

[@ezzrin]

would love to see a video on aus heroes vs villains!! it’s criminally underrated their plays and tribal councils go crazy

it took my while realize its "Aussie" not "Ozzy" xD I was like wtf who is Ozzy

[@jenniferconstantine9041]

I purposely waited to watch this video because I just started watching Australian Survivor this week and I wanted to avoid any spoilers. I absolutely love this show. It reminds me of what was great about Survivor years ago. Granted I've only watched season 4 so far, but there were so many great characters, the challenges are amazing, and the storytelling is well done. I thought 24 players would be too hard to follow but they actually did a pretty decent job, even though there were a few purple edits. I also thought Jonathan gave Jeff a run for his money because he didn't insert himself into the game, again one more thing I loved about old Survivor. I highly highly highly recommend Australian Survivor. It's definitely worth paying for a Paramount Plus subscription. The only areas where US Survivor beats it is that they don't have a live reunion and the votes are read right there in Fiji, and I haven't figured out a way to watch Australian Ponderosa, which is referred to as the Villa.

[@sacvideo1998]

I'm a Canadian, and I love Australian Survivor, just finished watching the most recent season. I like how Australian it is, like when the reward is a Holden Commodore or a fest from Hungry Jacks. Australia seems to be way ahead of Canada in terms of producing their own version of reality competition shows

[@dude2252]

Survivor South Africa isn’t too bad! But Australian survivor Brian’s vs brawn had some OMG moments that I LOVED!

[@kranjos]

Australian Survivor has definitely had its fair share of big gameplayers (some who win, some who don't), as well as wildcards, and challenge beasts (both male and female). As an Aussie, it's been cool seeing people from my part of the world squaring off in the best game show on TV. Having seen every season of US Survivor since I was 8 years old (2008), and even going back to watch the first 4 seasons ever, Australian Survivor holds its own. However Jeff Probst is still number 1 in my heart.

[@Nobody-xe9fc]

1:46 No thanks, I'm already well acquainted with "The Ozzy Variant". Back then we just called it Ozzy Lusth.

[@MsPianopower]

Not me thinking you were saying “OZZY SURVIVOR” this whole time lol

[@akosijr5213]

im from the Philippines. i started watching US Survivor Gabon, then i watched the past seasons and got hooked from season 1-41. because of pandemic and home quarantine, i wanted to watch replays of Survivor but got an idea to watch the franchises, i started with Australian Survivor, and i was happy that most shots are almost like the US version. and since then, i got hooked and begin to be a fan of Australian Survivor, i almost love most players. In US version, you became a fan of the show and some players that you can count in your one hand because you will love how they play but on Australian Survivor, you will love most players in each seasons because of their characters and how they play, most of them are likeable.

[@jaysonsmith3391]

Australian Survivor is lit!!! so much better than what the U.S. version nowadays!!!

[@melonandfigg]

LOVE Australian survivor. Probably even more than US survivor. However other than the imbalanced editing, the thing I really dislike about it is the non-elimination twists at tribal. They’re not fair! So many players get ‘saved’ from actually being voted out just because they happen to get voted out on a week where no one goes home. (Sometimes they know what they’re voting for, but others they don’t. It’s still unfair either way)It’s pot luck, or the producers meddling. Also, it feels like such a waste of time to see all the challenges, strategising at camp etc to not get the payoff of someone going home. And the seasons would be long enough without the non-eliminations. I’d much rather see someone get voted off than waste an hour watching someone get sent to the other tribe or to exile, and then stay in the game while other less lucky players get their torches snuffed the next week because they weren’t fortunate enough to get voted out in a week where there was a twist. I don’t think anyone enjoys these twists!

[@Shisui5752]

As much as I love AUS Survivor, but I think Survivor South Africa beats it. Australian Survivor is so predictable, especially Champs v Contenders 2.

[@elizastar1973]

I'm done with American Survivor. The last season went Woke in a ridiculous annoying way. I'll give these episodes a try. I don't get it, why fix it if it wasn't BROKE?? Once they start in with "racism, diversity, and yay for gays" I go elsewhere. People who yell the loudest about these issues are themselves racist and divisive. BTW, I'm not white, I come from a multicultural background, and my best friend is gay, so don't go there. lol

[@xJwp2525x]

If you already aren't convinced by this video and all of the other commenters.. Watch whatever seasons you can and you'll be hooked I swear. Especially season 4 leading into 5 (US Paramount plus access so I have 4,5,6). The characters are more competitive while also being far less bitter in defeat / when on the bottom. Underdogs relentlessly punch-up and the great players are GREAT. The bar is so high right now, I'd wager some of the middle tier Aussie players would crush a US season. Plus they already have some absolute legends, that are so entertaining that their over-edit doesn't ruin it for most viewers (looking at you David and Luke). Not saying these are the only two, I've heard rumors of the other legends I'll have to check out.

[@samjack7872]

Its a shame they removed it from paramount plus...seriously..why. Also I thought i'd never get over having Jeff Probst as the host, but Lapaglia grows on you.
