Ex-SAS specialist, Mark Wales, has won Australian Survivor: Blood v Water taking home the $500,000 cash prize in a landslide win.

The jury unanimously gave him the series title over runners-up Shayelle “Shay” Lajoie and Christine “Chrissy” Zaremba.

In his second season, Mark was selected as Sole Survivor after concealing two hidden immunity idols and enduring punishing physical challenges.

The final Immunity Challenge saw the final four contestants – Mark, Chrissy, Josh and Shay – standing on a ledge suspended over a waterfall while they held onto pegs until just one was left standing. That proved to be Shay, with Josh voted out in the Tribal Council.

It was the second season filmed in Queensland due to the pandemic, which featured US Survivor queen Sandra Diaz-Twine, who was voted out on Day 16.

Presuming the show is renewed for 10, it should look to international locations, previously in Fiji.

  1. Once again, the Aus season was really good, and the theme added extra intrigue. I felt this was really Sam’s win, but the way that they both had planned a full strategy beforehand, and stuck to it was amazing to watch. The moment Mark rejected getting into a tribe with Sam, I knew that they were very smart about perceptions and avoiding getting targetted. Chrissy won the jury’s heart, but they couldn’t deny the superior play.

    Now we are left with the vastly inferior American version with terrible players, overdone twists, an annoying host, weird editing and overall, constant reference to social issues and alleged injustices.
