We already know Australian Survivor: Heroes vs Villains is set to return in January 2023, and to get us even more excited, Channel 10 has decided to slowly drip-feed the contestant list to us.
It’s a genius way to grab people’s attention and also forces Survivor fans to tune in to the network’s latest reality TV competition, The Challenge. During ad breaks of The Challenge, 10 will be announcing the cast of Survivor, and hopefully, by the end of the season, we’ll know the name of every single castaway.
We already know Brains vs Brawns‘ winner Hayley Leake and runner-up, George Mladenov, aka King George of Bankstown, will be taking part. Leake is set to compete in the Heroes tribe, while Mladenov will be a Villain.
Survivor: Heroes vs Villains will return to its roots next year, filming on the beautiful island of Samoa, where the first season was shot back in 2016. This also marks the show’s first time overseas after the COVID-19 pandemic slammed international borders shut. The previous two seasons, Brains vs Brawn and Blood vs Water, took place in outback Queensland.
Returning to host the show will be Jonathan LaPaglia, who promised that “the beautiful beaches will see Heroes and Villains battle it out in gruelling challenges to come out on top” in the short trailer.
“In the game of Survivor, who does it better — the hero or the villain?”
There is also heavy speculation around whether or not Nina Twine, from this year’s Blood vs Water season, will return after Jonathan made a cryptic comment right before her exit from the show this year.
The daughter of Survivor royalty Sandra Diaz-Twine (who actually won Heroes Vs Villains back in 2010), was forced to withdraw from the competition after suffering an injury, giving her even more reason to finish off what she started next year.
“Nina, it has been an absolute pleasure having you out here to play Survivor with us, but I have a feeling this is not gonna be the last time we’re gonna see you on Australian Survivor, so let’s get you out of here, and let’s get you healed,” Jonathan said.
Will Twine follow in her mother’s footsteps and take home the title? We’ll have to wait and see.
In the meantime, check out the confirmed cast members of Australia Survivor: Heroes vs Villains.
