Australian Survivor: Champions vs. Contenders debuts on August 1

The third season of the new-look Australian Survivor debuts on August 1. That is when you can expect a divisive figure from the CBS show to compete.

The American version ofSurvivorhas lacked excitement during the past television year. A middlingHeroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlersramped up in the final hours, yet was hampered by a terrible end-game twist.Ghost Islandwas a predictable slog that became unpredictable in the final ten minutes. Advantages and twists have taken precedence over good storytelling.

Perhaps that will be fixed inDavid vs. Goliath,but there is anotherSurvivorshow that will debut almost two months earlier.Australian Survivorwill debut on August 1 per the show’sofficial Instagram account, bringing forth both the dominant successes of physical prowess Australia has to offer with the meager aiming to contend with them.

As previously reported, this will likely be the next (and perhaps final) time we see the controversial Russell Hantzgrace our screens as aSurvivorcontestant. Though he hasn’t been officially revealed as a castaway yet, a huge chunk of the cast hasn’t been identified, either. We’re just a few weeks away from the season premiere, so it should come out in the days ahead.

The second season ofAustralian Survivorreceived high marks from those watching within the country and abroad. One of the reasons why is that the broadcasting network, TEN, provides 90-minute episodes, more days competing on the island and more episodes, allowing to get a more rounded, robust narrative that covers all the bases.

One of modernSurvivor’sweaknesses is burying some of its lesser interesting characters completely, having the audience question who they even are. Considering that Russell Hantz was such a screen hog whenSomoawas airing that some are convinced players like Brett were CGI’d in afterward, it’ll be interesting to see theAustralian Survivorseason 3 narrative unfold.
