Australian Survivor returns with a premise the game has never seen before: Champions vs Contenders. It is a case of David verse Goliath, where 12 everyday contestants are pitted against 12 players who are champions in their field, be it mental, physical or social. Featuring people from all walks of life, Australian Survivor sees a Takeaway Delivery Rider taking on Olympic Medallists and an Interior Designer going up against an Astrophysicist. For 50 days, these castaways are forced to compete against each other aiming for the same goal: to outwit, outlast and outplay each other to be the ultimate Sole Survivor. Running on little sleep, little food and possessing only the clothes on their back, just one castaway will survive to take out the ultimate prize of $500,000.
