Why We're Excited about Survivor AU vs The World
Rob Cesternino and the world's most qualified international Survivor correspondent, Shannon Guss, are thrilled to announce we're less than a week away from the premiere of Survivor Australia versus the World! This highly anticipated "once-in-a-lifetime event" has been in the making for almost a year, promising an insane, but exciting, 16-day season filmed in Samoa.
Shannon has been preparing extensively, even watching the 67-episode Survivor Quebec and Survivor Finland seasons to bring unparalleled insights into all the global legends. This season features an Australian tribe of legends against a global tribe including three US players, and others from South Africa, New Zealand, Finland, and Quebec. Rob and Shannon anticipate a season of "big moves" and "big characters," typical of Australian Survivor, but amplified by the shorter format, which favors game-heavy play over long-term social bonding.
RHAP is going all-in with comprehensive coverage! As your hosts, Rob and Shannon will reunite weekly on Wednesdays to discuss the week's events. You can also expect Shannon's recap partners—Chappelle, Pooya, and Mike Bloom—to provide recaps after every new episode, alongside exit interviews with voted-out contestants.
Don't miss a moment! Catch up on Shannon's individual player previews available on YouTube and the We Know Global Survivor podcast feed. The premiere is Sunday night in Australia, meaning Sunday morning for US fans. Make sure to join the global community and stay tuned with RHAP!
