Join Fod and Robes for their weekly round-up of Australian Survivor.
Hey gang, just a quick note to let you guys know why we haven't posted a show - YET!
We unpack the coronation of Queen Hayley with the wonderful Dan Liebke as 3rd chair. A satisfying end to an imperfect season. See you next year. Find Dan here: twitter: @danliebke https://www.danliebke.com/ https://www.liebcricket.com/
Paul Bearer used his urns to resurrect an institution. Ten use their urns to kill one. MELODRAMA!
Dani wins a car and the curse that goes along with it.

We're not sure if this will be of interest to anyone, but we figured the experience was so similar to how we imagine the game of Survivor feels, we're putting it out there. If you're a gamer and you've always wanted a first hand taste of the Survivor experience, I strongly recommend you give Neptune's Pride a try. Hope you enjoy!

Thanks for joining us this year! Stay safe out there, eat your greens, and we'll see you next season.
I'm not entirely sure how to summarise this week, so I'm going to go with "like Game of Thrones only with more bums".
Everyone ends up in Exile. Even us! But we're back and ready to lay the boot in to a few things...
Tarzan takes part in the proud Australian tradition of getting your bum out. Brooke's Rocky comeback arc is complete. Matty Rogers heads back to the dressing rooms. Phoebe gives it a characteristically hard fight from the bottom. Dave continues to be a living legend. Harry and AK finally get involved in scheming together. Uncle Johnny remains a naughty, naughty boy. All this and more on Australia's favourite* Survivor podcast: The Merge!
Tribe swaps and auctions and bums without fabric. Pandora's boxes, twists far from fantastic. Immunity idols made out of string, these are a few of my favourite things...
We're a little late this week, but we're as pumped as ever - Shonee pops a timely idol, Harry gains some ice cream friends, Henry performs his swan song, Matt taunts Lockie, Lee and John get their bums out, and the Rascals make a few frantic plays. We have fought through a record drought, savage fires, floods and storms to bring you this podcast. We can't be stopped. (Due to technical headaches there is an echo that develops, sorry about that. We did not record inside a giant whale, as much as it may sound like that.)
As another beaut season of our very own Australian Survivor wraps up, we're delighted and saddened to bring you our final thoughts on the grand finale. Look no further, Alibrandi - you've done it. One Aussie institution has mastered another. We tell you why you're wrong for hating on Pia, why the tears of the audience taste so sweet, and once again we get on the campaign trail for getting our live Survivor Finale and reunion. It's been another fantastic season of Australia's new television darling, and we look forward to doing it all again with you next season. Until then, may all your alliances be solid, and all your betrayals be spectacular. PEACE.
Abbey gets launched over the top rope by Luke and Pia and we're down to 4. The Survivor curse of the car winner continues! I'm sure she won't mind when she's doing donuts in her new MG, pumping the Survivor theme song with the moon roof open.
And then there were 5. Luke continues his immunity winning streak and the JanineMachine is history. But most importantly - ACTUAL ELBOW DROPS AND HEADBUTTS ON SURVIVOR! Is this some sort of beautiful dream? If it is, don't wake me. GO DIRTY HARRY, GO!
After a sellout* tour of Europe, we're finally back home, Australia! And just in time to see our Final 6 Survivors race to the finish. We take a turbo look at the 12 episodes that aired in our absence to bring us up to speed for the final episodes.
This will be the last episode for a whole month! But we wouldn't dream of leaving you hanging after a tribe swap. Andy is thrilled to go to tribal and then is very much not stoked to be at tribal. David continues to improve his position despite being heavily outnumbered. John refuses to relent in his aggressive ball tampering campaign. Luke strips off a bit of bark. Matt cuts more promos. Daisey finds a new talent. Simon can't believe his luck. Harry tells us about his darling boy Oscar. And Janine, Pia and Abby stick together like glue. So long for a month! We'll be back - and in greater numbers*.
Gold medalists are dropping like flies this week, and so are the shoe insoles. The Contenders continue to show the Champions how it's done. Ross secures fish and chips for life. Andy continues to be a weapon in the challenges. Nova's kitchen goes the way of Walter White. Shaun has something in his front pocket for David, and David shows some gumption with a villainous play. Don't be weak - come and get some.
We're introduced to Harry and Hannah (kind of). Matt acquires baked beans. We're shown a picture of Laura standing next to a mountain that we're assured is her boyfriend. Ross makes sleeping noises that traditionally only the dead make. Nova goose-steps in the kitchen. John lets the kids out. Baden has a Rocky moment. Daisy continues to be lovely. The 'Super Seven' do an excellent impression of Steven Bradbury's gold medal race. And there's Megan Gale and a sea cucumber (unrelated). All this and more on Australia's favourite* podcast ever.
Slap on your face paint, lace up the boots and grab a steel chair - it's go time. Australia's favourite* Survivor podcasting tag team is back and ready to rumble, son. Join us for the Season 4 curtain-jerker as we run down the list of castaways and pick our early favourites based on almost nothing at all (this is the one you listen back to after the finale to see how little we actually know)
A cracking end to a fantastic season. But like all good things, Australia's Greatest Game has come to an end for now. But as we bid farewell to Season 3, we prepare ourselves for Season 4 next year in 2019. Thank you so much for listening, we intend to be back with some Survivor related material - what that will be isn't clear, but we're keen to continue if you'll have us. Keep an eye out for us. But in case we don't see you... Good afternoon, Good evening and Goodnight
Sorry we're late. A dog ate our homework. But because you've been so patient, you get a 3 episode show! We're almost there! It's a fight to the Final Three.
And then there were 6. The end is so close, you can taste it.. is that vindaloo? Ouch. Dodgy reward choices aside, we are nearing the business end of Season 3 and the jury is filling up. Dead Men Walking, Exile Island, Chicken Kormas, White Whales and Scorpions. Monika finds herself in the middle of heated campaigns for her vote and is feeling the pressure. The Brian & Steve show continues. Shonella still sitting pretty. Steve and Shane talk about flannos. Sharn fails at subtlety. And JLP still looks damn good. We're on the home stretch.
Like Lemmings at the edge of a cliff, our leaders keep disappearing one by one. Where's the bloody stopper Lemmings when you need them? Well they're not under the table, Brian saw to that. Will the new King be the next to plummet? Or perhaps he'll be one of those little exploding Lemmings who walks around with a countdown over his head, taking a significant chunk out of the island with him? Ok, I'm done with the Lemmings analogy. This week brought us some great stuff; Brian found an idol and a secondary use for the challenge tower, Benji goes shark hunting before being betrayed himself, the Mighty Ducks make a comeback, Fod reminisces about his love for Dawson's Creek, Sharn gets played like a fiddle, and listen up ya'll - it's Shane's sabotage! 7 are left! And it's about to blow up like when you'd hit the nuke button and all your Lemmings would go "Uh-Oh!" and get a countdown over their heads I've done a Lemmings thing again. Sorry.
We're at the business end of Season 3 and the final stages are taking form. Sam struggles with his place in the Champions allilance and takes on our own Godfather - Matty Rogers. Sharn puts Benji in her back pocket, Fenella says "Not without my Shonee", Steve gets a crappy (but sweet) birthday cake, Monika gets a confessional, the castaways are mauled by savage fish, and Brian juices up then urinates! A great week's play, and a huge week is set up next.
Thank the island Gods, The Merge has arrived! And with it, the chaos that breeds change. A Mountain is razed and a Great fire is made, but the real force of nature is one of Australia's elder (swimming) Gods - Shane "don't f**k with this old granny" Gould. There's choccy milk, a new advantage, a bold strategic move that will shatter alliances, there's even some action in bed! Come join us as we pull apart the weeks shocking play and wildly speculate about what happens from here. God, it's good to be The Merge.
IT'S A TRIBE SWAP! And as our biggest tag team is torched, another blooms from it's ashes. The swap sees some Survivors swim and others sink. Love is in the air, and it is blowing over everyone! Robbie and Monika, Robbie and Lydia, Sam and Benji, Bryan and JLP. Grab your partner now because they are going like roasted taties. Aussie legends Shane Gould and Matty Rogers (go the sharkies) are still in powerful positions. Benji gets his idol, and we discover the amazing reason behind his black eye. YOU WON'T BELIEVE YOUR EARS! Tune in to find out ONLY on your favourite Aussie Survivor Podcast - The Merge. (he bumped into a stick...)
Last stop before our first tribe swap! This week, Benji swims his way to an idol clue through a matrix of nachos, The Mountain (Heath) is sent a care package from one of the temple dwelling monks who is residing somewhere up in his hair?, Tegan puts her revenge plans on ice, and JLP gets a little saucy at the coconut challenge. All this and slightly more on your favourite Australian Survivor Podcast (Go the Sharkies)
Heartbreak and surprises this week as one of our favourites leaves, but is quickly replaced by a sleeping giant. But most importantly, we are informed that there are, on the island, diagrams of "inventions" drawn by a young Sam. We will not rest until we find them, whether we have to commandeer a ship ourselves to go and get them, or more likely stumble across them on Reddit. Come with us as we walk through episodes 6 through 8 of Season 3 (the only ones that matter) of Australian Survivor.
If you've watched as much tele as we have, you should go outside and stand in the sun for a bit because you probably have a vitamin D deficiency! IT'S YOUR FAVOURITE AUSTRALIAN SURVIVOR PODCAST!!!!
Like Johnny Farnham after a farewell tour, WE'RE BACK!! After a year abroad and enough marrying to last us a lifetime, it's time to rip off the parking fines and jump start this ride once again. And who would have thought that we'd have Russell Hantz waiting for us on the tele? Not us. But we're stoked for a brand new season of Australian Survivor: Champions VS Contenders.
