Nine pairs of everyday Aussies transform into fugitives overnight. For the first time ever, they will have to pull off a bank robbery, with $1 million up for grabs.

  1. I saw a tweet on the US Survivor page that we are doing an Australia v US Survivor. Really hope this is true. A lot of people were very excited & really love the idea. Happy to see Elspeth coming to 10.

  2. Great line-up here. Though I personally wouldn’t say Aussie Survivor ‘reinvented’ it per-se. More like, they’re staying truer to what makes the show so good in the first place than the US one has done since it reached its forties…and our version is much better for it.

  3. Hunted had a rip off show in the UK which was basically the heist format, starting with them stealing the money. Both were from the same producers though.

    A shame Survivor are just rehashing another theme.

    1. I remember that show.
      I think they had to steal the money from an armoured van and divvy it up between the contestants before they went on the run.
      I also think if they were tracked down and caught that they could also be released if they didn’t have enough evidence against them just like in the real world

  4. Can they just ditch the judging part on Thank God You’re Here? and just have Celia pick the winner at the end? I always thought it was so pointless and just wastes time.

  6. I hate celebrity editions of any reality show, because the ‘celebrities’ are paid to be there, and have no real stake in the outcome, and therefore rarely behave in a truly competitive fashion. They just grin and bear it for a moments of publicity, and reap some brownie points for being associated with a charity.

  7. Hunted sounds really good this year. Let’s hope 10 advertise this big time, so people don’t think it’s the same Hunted as previous years.

  8. Deal or No Deal Island would be great. The Price is Right for daytime and primetime specials is a no brainer as its a CBS show. And I swear this is the last time I bang on about bringing General Hospital to the afternoons. It’s the longest running soap opera and an actual soap not just love triangles like Bold.

    1. I surprisingly didn’t mind DonDI but the comparison to Survivor is there and obvious. I believe Joe Mangernello (DonDI host & Survivor fanatic) also said that some crew were from Aussie Survivor, which was not surprisingly Even being its own format, the show had a heavy Aus Survivor-specific vibe.

      There is also a surface level, comparison to make with I’m a Celeb.

      So it would be weird for one network to have 3 shows, in the oddly specific genre of “Shows Held in the Wilderness With Big Challenges To Determine One Winner” and I think each show could lose their novelty if they all look similar.

    3. Deal or No Deal is a Fremantle International show on CBS in the USA, so 10 would likely have to licence it from Fremantle, not CBS.
      General Hospital is an ABC/Disney program. Unlikely to be available to 10.

      1. Endemol Shine North America is one of the two production companies behind Deal or No Deal Island, so it’s likely Banijay has international distribution rights if the show is or becomes available for international distribution.

      1. Yes, Deal or No Deal Island airs on NBC in primetime, just like it predecessor Deal or No Deal. The show was just renewed by NBC for a second season.

        thefutoncritic.com/showatch/deal-or-no-deal-island/

        The only way Dead or no Deal could have ever aired on CBS is if the syndicated version of the show aired on a local CBS affiliate in daytime during it’s two season run.

  10. This year’s season of Hunted sounds awesome! And I’m looking forward to The Amazing Race too. Wish The Masked Singer was on this year, but I hope Channel 10 brings it back next year.
