Showing just why they’ve earned those All Stars creds, Tribal Council was rocked by one of its biggest shocks yet on Wednesday night.

It had been hyped as the “Most. Epic. Tribal. Ever.” and it didn’t fail to deliver, with Daisy Richardson becoming the third person to leave Australian Survivor All Stars via a stinging blindside.
After strategy, gameplaying and some solid acting from David Genat in particular, Daisy was caught short when two players used their hidden immunity idols to protect others, instead of themselves.
Brooke played her idol for David, while Mat played his for Jacqui, which left Daisy reeling.
Despite being part of an alliance with Daisy, David worked against his ‘Sexy Seven’ group and joined together with Matt’s minority group of four to exact revenge and get rid of her, just as she had done to him last time he played.
Revenge, in this case, was a dish served ice-cold as just minutes beforeDaisy had said she had “Faith in my people big-time… It’s not my people I’m worried about tonight.”
As the votes began stacking up against Daisy and she was called forward to have her torch extinguished by Jonathan La Paglia, a look of devastation fell across her face.
“That WAS a blindside. (EXHALES) I’m shaking,” she said as she exited.
David played a blinder and has ticked off several of his gameplay goals. The ‘Golden God’ has reaped revenge on Daisy, got Brooke to play an idol for him, flushed two idols from the competition and developed a secret alliance with Matt ‘The Godfather’ Rogers.
And he did it all without raising any suspicion at all.
