Week 3: All gas, no brak ... whoops, sorry, all brakes

Episodes 7-9: All gas, no brak ... whoops, sorry, all brakes

Week three of SurvivorAU: Australia v The World took the competition all the way from final eight to final four, the precipice of the finale. There some all-time moves made, especially in Episode 7's two tribals, but as the week closed, the mood was more one of non-moves. But there are still some potentially historic outcomes awaiting in the finale.

Week 2: Big alliances form, big alliances break

Episodes 4-6: Big alliances form, big alliances break

The second week (three episodes) of SurvivorAU: Australia v The World spanned both the pre- and post-merge, and were a whirlwind (lightning storm?) of newly formed and newly shattered alliances. More big players left the game, but there are still many formidable competitors remaining.

Episodes 1-3: A nearly perfect pre-merge

Published: August 23, 2025

The first three episodes of SurvivorAU: Australia v The World had a common theme: They were almost perfect. 10/10, no notes. There was drama, chaotic gameplay, plans replaced by other plans, swapped with other plans, supplanted by still more plans at Tribal. There was comedy, to keep things light. There were big players playing grandiosely - then falling flat. It's everything you could want in 4.5 hours of Survivor.

Jeff Pitman's recaps Jeff Pitman is the founder of the True Dork Times, and probably should find better things to write about than Survivor. So far he hasn't, though. He's also responsible for the Survivometer, calendar, boxscores, and contestant pages, so if you want to complain about those, do so in the comments, or on twitter: @truedorktimes
