How do you watch Australian Survivor?
Network 10, the network that airs it, gives me access to its programming
15 days??? 
Thatās the rumour
Watched the premier last night, Iāve never watched before
I have questions 
Have no idea if this is a no spoiler thread, Iām so confused
Discussion after the show airs is totally fine
Iāll be watching either tonight or tomorrow night!
Bring on the questions!
I watched last night. What questions do you have?
I was bummed that Jon was voted off. He sounded like an interesting person.
Is anyone familiar with Aysha? It sounds like she is/was on RHAP. If so, thatās a very popular podcast and Iām surprised more people donāt recognize her.
Yeah, I would have voted out Andy for sure.

I watched because of Jon. Itās been teased on his podcast.
He seemed like an affable, intelligent and knowledgeable person. Who communicated very well.
If I was watching, it seems that maybe there were new viewers like me.
I looked up his Wikipedia page. Math degree from Williams, speech writer for Hillary Clinton and Obama. Screen writer for tv. Founded Crooked Media which is worth 100 million dollars. Pretty impressive imo.
and they kept Andy? Why?
I wasnāt hooked, I didnāt understand the whole looking for stuff in the woods. It didnāt explain very well why Jon was voted off and seemed as if would be Andy.
Theyāre looking for hidden immunity idols, which can be played for themselves, or someone else, at Tribal Council. But they have to be judicious in when to play; many have been voted off with an idol in their pocket.

In Survivor, there are challenges that tribes need to win in order to avoid having to go to tribal council and vote someone off. Most challenges have a physical component and a puzzle component. It sounds like they kept Andy because he was strong. At least early on, then need that strength in order to win challenges. For example, last night, the strength would have helped in turning over the boats or grabbing the heavy objects.
Jon is obviously a very successful and intelligent man. He was hiding that because who wants to give a millionaire a million dollars? Also, a person who is successful often feels threatening to others.

Good episode. I thought Jon was great and was sad to see him go.

Great explanation, thanks!
I read the vulture synopsis, love those. Some of the comments were from people like me, who watched for Jon Lovett and didnāt see the need to watch more. The article said that he was one of the most famous people to do Survivor, which I donāt know is true but I donāt watch. Not sure heās that famous either.
When they said the prize was $1 million, I thought that someone like Jon would donate to charity. He doesnāt need the money.
The best part of his Survivor journey to me was when he came back from Fiji and pod save America did a fact or fiction about what happened while he was out of touch. That was funny!
Are you allowed to share that link?
I will miss Jon.
Iād have to look back on PSA podcasts but itās been teased that todayās pod will address Survivor. Said that they never laughed so hard.
Iāll
PM you the episode
Well boo! I have never watched Survivor and was only going to because I am a huge Jon Lovett fan! But didnāt realize it was on already and heard last night accidentally that heād been the first off.
Iāll have to listen to a couple of my favorite pods (Pod Save America which he does with the other Crooked Media owners, and his own, more comic one, Love it or Leave It) to hear him discuss this.
Heās definitely one of the smartest, and funniest, people Iāve ever heard. And kind and gets whatās important. I was kind of surprised he went on the show because heās definitely not the physical, outdoors, type, but he loves reality tv and challenges.
Anyway, now I donāt have to watch at all. So, thatās a plus 
Other celebrities have done Survivor - some are more famous than others.
Personally, I think Mike White is the most famous person to be on the show.
Lisa Whelchel (Facts of Life) was also on.
Jonathan Penner has been on the show three times.
There have been several well known athletes including, but certainly not limited to, Gary Hogeboom, Elizabeth Beisel and Jimmy Johnson
