Villains’ rookie mistake on Australian Survivor

Villains will be villains but host Jonathan LaPaglia explains why a Survivor tribe made a fairly dumb move.

Villains by name, villains by nature.

At their first Tribal Council on Australian Survivor, the Villains tribe were offered the chance to forgo culling one of their own, following teammate Jackie Glazier endured a broken collarbone in a first episode challenge.

Her sudden exit saw host Jonathan LaPaglia offer the Tribe a chance to bypass the first elimination.

“They had a chance not to send someone and Jackie was going home anyway. So she was really the person that was voted out in lieu of someone else. But in true villainous style, they decided to go ahead with it and get rid of Anjali,” he told TV Tonight.

While it was true to their name, LaPaglia isn’t convinced it was their best move.

“Early in the game, you kind of need as many people as you can have on the tribe, because even if you’re down to your best people, the other tribe has the advantage that they can rotate people and rest people for challenges. We’re doing challenges every single day, so it kind of catches up with you.

“That’s where the other tribe has an advantage. They can rotate people in and out and rest people. But they didn’t really consider that.

“They just wanted to get on with it!’

Australian Survivor continues 7:30pm Tuesday & Wednesday on 10.

  1. Yep they made the wrong move, they are now closer to being voted out rather than going ok lets go another week together and just vote her out next time especially considering it was pretty much a one way vote.

  2. Makes little difference! For all we know tribe could have lost first couple of immunity challenges in a row and we would be in same pisition! It’s part of the game to vote people out at any time

  3. The villains made the right choice. This is a consequence of Australian Survivor always having an inappropriately early tribe reshuffle. There is no point in being ‘tribe strong’, it’s an individual game from the start.
    If someone else is eliminated it’s one step further for yourself.

  4. That was a very stupid move going ahead with the elimination, even though they knew that Jackie wouldn’t be returning to the game. But, I suppose they wouldn’t be called villains if they weren’t as cutthroat as they were last night!

    1. Most likely to ‘save’ King George once again. Just like every other year Aust Survivor is manipulated by the producers to make sure their promo dept can continue to push the king George Agenda. I give up on Aust survivor.

      1. Was thinking that as well, what will they do to manipulate the game and save George till the end, probably tonight find some hidden advantage where he can skip tribal council etc etc. I wonder if the producers realise if they just let the game play out maybe others would shine and they’d have new great players to want to see play again rather than their favourites they save episode to episode.

          1. Does feel like producers have put all their favourites on the Villains tribe but somehow Hayley ended up on the wrong side. The villains probably knew that even if they sent someone hoe now should they visit tribal council in the near future with the extra elimination(s) already they’ll be thrown a lifeline anyway.
