Up until the last three minutes of Australian Survivor: All Stars it seemed like Shonee would become the sixth person voted out.
However, after a Tribal Council where it seemed she was the favourite for the boot, Jonathan LaPaglia dropped a bombshell.

Sending jaws to the floor, he revealed “You guys are still gonna go up to vote. But you’re not voting to send someone home. Instead, the two people with the highest number of votes will be going to Exile Beach… where their fate will be decided.”
“That’s an absolute spanner in the works,” said Harry, adding that “another twist means you’ve got to play differently, especially when there’s the chance of people coming back”.
Unlike last night, there were no idols in play and JLP began reading through the votes that would decide which two Mokuta members would be changing their postal address to 1 Exile Beach Way.
In news that will surprise no-one, Shonee was sent to exile after receiving five votes.
But who was to join her?
Zach, as it turns out. With three votes against John’s two, he was the one also sent into exile.
“Let’s go!” Shonee said, probably happy to get away from the tribe that tried to vote her out two nights in a row.
While Shonee wasn’t so much a fan of Zach when they first played the game, they’ll definitely have to team up to make their stay on the dreaded Exile Beach as bearable as possible.
In the preview for the next episode, Shonee was heard saying “I will not stop until I get revenge,” promising another episode packed with action and backstabbing.
The tribe has been split into an athlete’s alliance (Abbey, Lydia, Lee, John, Zach) who Sharn has been voting with, and the Little Rascals (Nick, Harry, Shonee).
Athletes leader Abbey has been gunning to get rid of the person she’s perceived as the weakest (Shonee) to keep the team strong, even though supposed challenge beasts Lee and John have both had some wonky moments themselves.
Castaways still on Australian Survivor: All Stars include Abbey, AK, Brooke, David,Flick, Harry, Jacqui, John, Lee, Locky, Lydia, Mat, Moana, Nick, Phoebe, Sharn, Tarzan and Zach.
