Returning: Australian Survivor
Reality juggernauts go head to head in February.

Australian Survivor: All Stars will launch head to head against Married at First Sight on Monday February 3rd -a week before the return of official ratings.
There are 24 returning players from 4 seasons on 10 (a previous Nine season and Celebrity Survivor on Seven are being ignored). 14 have been formally announced, including two winners. On offer is another $500,000.
TV Tonight readers today voted the show hosted by Jonathan LaPaglia as their favourite Aussie reality series of 2019.
Out of the 24 players returning, only Shane Gould and Jericho Malabonga have previously tasted victory. While they may be looking for a return to glory, the remaining 22 contestants are baying for blood and redemption.
But according to 2018 Australian Survivor winner Shane, defeating her competitors for a second time will be monkey play.
Shane said: “I’ve studied chimpanzee politics, politics in the jungle and I think I can see quite a lot about how chimpanzees relate. It’s like some people in my tribe. I’m ready for monkey business.”
In order to be head of the tribe, Shane will have to beat out Mat Rogers and Lydia Lassila from her previous season, David and Harry from Season 4, Jericho, Locky, Henry, Tarzan and AK from Season 2 and Phoebe, Brooke, Flick and Nick from Season 1.
With more players to be announced, Shane may just find herself in a state of gorilla warfare in order to make it to the top.
7:30pm Monday February 3 on 10.

As much as I want Australian Survivor to beat MAFS I doubt it’s gonna happen. But I would love to be proven wrong. Very excited for All Stars!
I think Survivor’s going to do well agains MAFs, it looks like this is one of the best seasons they’ve made and it does have so many fans…if it doesn’t beat it, it’ll come close.
As good as this will be… Survivor US: Winners At War will be epic TV and record breaking. Guaranteed two time winner (unless Sandra wins for a 3rd time) and sometime will own the crown of a +$3million total prize money
Agree, the upcoming US season is going to be a cracker! Really looking forward to it.
I will watch it but like last season it will be via ten play because of the ridiculous watermarks i just hope that they don’t kill it due to over exposure
Because I live on the NSW Central Coast I have the option of watching Ten or WIN. I’ve found that WIN watermark is far less intrusive so I’ve chosen to watch via WIN.
Unfortunately, I think MAFS will win some nights because last season was huge.
Don’t care for MAFS so I will be watching Survivor. Can’t wait.
Looks like 10 won’t have those awkward periods like last year where they had 1-2 weeks break between the start and finish of their 7.30 reality shows. It’s also wise not to give MAFS a free run…just waiting on MKR now
Survivor Vs MAFS? Zero competition. Survivor is an amazing show. Can’t wait.
This is wonderful news! It’s time for Channel 10 to stand up and win the 2020 ratings year! They have many wonderful programs and it’s time more people watched Channel Ten!
Predict Survivor will topple MAFS on some nights.
As much as I’d love to see this, the answer is no. It won’t.
Agreed.
Just for the Launch ep i really think Ten should cut the project for 30mins that Mon night so Survivor can capture as many viewers as it can
I can guarantee that will not happen ,it’ll stay an hour till 7.30 as per usual.
Bring it on! Ten’s ratings will lift from the same time last year. Who will they steal it off? I suspect MAFS will still dominate but come off a little bit. MKR looks most vulnerable to me, especially in the demos
Totally agree. I think there is a real possibility MKR will slip to third behind MAFS and Survivor
The Inside Survivor website has all 24 players listed.
Looking forward to this. I agree with ignoring the 9 and 7 seasons. The Ten ones are the only ones that have lived up to the original. Surely Shane and Jericho will be first out.
So does that mean I’m a celebrity will be finished by then? Is it only on 1 night a week?
Only a four week run. Short and sharp so over before DWTS and Survivor return.
And it will wrap up before the start of the official ratings period
I’ll tip IAC to wrap Sun Feb 2, against AO .. if so hope no Aussies in the Men’s Final!
Don’t worry. There definitely won’t be any Aussies in the final.
