The 2026 season of Australian Survivor is already shaping up to be one to remember thanks to new host David “Golden God” Genat, new challenges, and new (and old) faces fired up to outwit, outplay, and outlast! The two tribes, Bounty and Barren, have formed and alliances are well underway… and broken.
With a $500,000 prize and bragging rights for the title of Sole Survivor on the line, tension is at an all-time high.
So, who’s already been booted from the Samoan jungle?
Who has been eliminated from Australian Survivor: Redemption?
Loz is the final member of Jury Villa
Bamboozled by Caleb in the penultimate trial, Loz was voted off the game, becoming the final member of Jury Villa.
Now with pivotal jury votes on the line, the blindside that sent her home may just be what sways her vote for the crowning of Sole Survivor…we’ll have to tune in tonight and see!
Four became three
On Sunday night, April 12, tension was high as the four remaining players became three. Sally Foord was voted out at Tribal Council, leaving Jackson, Caleb and Loz as the three finalists in the game.
On Monday night, April 13, the contestants will face their final challenge and the penultimate Tribal, with the final episode and winner being announced on Tuesday night. The episode was revealed to be filmed in front of a live audience in Sydney last Friday, April 10, so the reactions will definitely be worth the wait. The suspense is killing us!
Keeley has been voted off the island
On Tuesday night, April 7, Keeley was voted off the island after an unexpected move from Sally led to her elimination.
While fans are reeling at the elimination of a much-loved contestant, they are mostly disappointed with Sally after last night’s episode. In the end, she didn’t even play her idol and ended up humiliating a fan favourite, costing her a potential jury vote in the final rounds. After this “no move” (as fans are calling it), we’re not sure how much longer Sally will last…
Brooke hangs up her buff after 10 years
Brooke Jowett was voted off Survivor Australia on Monday night, April 6. Despite a fierce season, and an incredible 10 years of history in the game, Brooke has hung up her buff for the last time and is off to greener pastures.
Her departure from the season was a sad one for the contestant and her fans, with everyone commending her on her brave fight and gameplay…and many closing their eyes and pretending she made it all the way to the end.
Either way, returning player Brooke put up a good fight and will be watching eagerly from Jury Villa for the final outcome.
Simon had a strong and tearful end
Returning player Simon Mee was the latest to be eliminated from Australian Survivor 2026 on April 1, 2026.
After a 4-4 tie between Simon and Loz, Brooke flipped her vote, resulting in Simon being sent home. Known for playing hard and emotional, fans were certainly reeling after losing Simon from their screens.
However, at least now he can call his daughter that little bit more while he waits for the winners to be announced.
Ben was betrayed by Jackson
On Tuesday night, March 31, Jackson made another strategic move at tribal council, siding with the returnees last minute.
This resulted in a tense and tight reveal of votes, as Jackson’s vote for Ben was what ultimately pushed him across the line and eliminated him from the game. This sent shockwaves throughout tribal council as the returnees grinned in approval while the rest of the players’ jaws dropped at Jackson’s betrayal.
However, as they say, all is fair in love and war. As he left, while he was gobsmacked himself, Ben still hugged Jacko on the way out, commending him on his blindside.
Blanche is off to Jury Villa
On Sunday night, March 29, Brooke’s time on the island was close to ending as majority of the votes were in her favour.
However, after playing a secret immunity idol, Brooke blindsided the rest of the players and poor Blanche was voted off and sent to Jury Villa (the luxury accommodation that voted-off players stay in while waiting for the finale).
As Blanche waits with Weetbix-bites at her disposal, Brooke’s days in the game are numbered as her luck might soon run out.
Mark finally ran out of moves
During Tuesday night’s episode on March 24, 2026, returning player Mark was finally voted out after narrowly escaping elimination the night before.
No longer playing with an immunity idol up his sleeve, Mark was voted off the island, with only Brooke remaining from the returning Survivor Australia players. Godspeed Brooke!
Richard fell and Mark narrowly escaped
During Monday night’s tribal council on March 23, Mark narrowly avoided an elimination by blindsiding the whole tribe with an immunity idol before the votes were read.
This meant that all of the votes against him were ultimately discounted and poor Richard with three votes was kicked off the island. Smart move from Mark and tough luck for Richard.
It was certainly a Survivor showdown!
Lottie’s landslide elimination
On Sunday, March 22, Lottie was eliminated from the game after receiving a whopping seven votes against her, a move that completely blindsided her.
For her final words, Lottie jokes about being excited to ring Aisha and tell her that “the dirty dog Simon got [her] too.” Let’s hope the rest of the players are on their guard with this veteran.
A betrayed Faith leaves the game
On Wednesday night’s episode, on March 19, 2026, both Faith and Sally were up for elimination from the Barren tribe.
However, in the end, it was Faith who was sent home after being voted out by Caleb, Richard, and Mark – a betrayal she did not see coming.
Aisha’s swing and a miss
On Sunday night, March 15, Aisha was relying on some strong strategic alliances to keep her in the game and vote out Brooke. However, in the end, Brooke’s alliance was stronger, and with an idol in her pocket, Aisha didn’t have a chance.
After she was targeted by Brooke’s alliance, Aisha was ultimately sent home. Although, not for a lack of trying.
Tez had an ‘iconic’ farewell
After one of the biggest tribal councils yet, with both Bounty and Barren tribes present, Tez was voted out on Wednesday night, March 11, 2026.
After Mark lost the fire challenge against Simon, it was Tez’s name that appeared in majority of the votes, marking an “iconic” end to his time in the competition, as Tez described.
Lyndl didn’t see her elimination coming
Lyndl was sent home last night on Tuesday, March 10, with an idol in her pocket.
After blushing at tribal council about all the connections she’s made so far, she did not see this coming! In the end, Mark, Faith and Keeley decided to vote out Lyndl and the tribe agreed.
Don has lost his chance at family bragging rights
This country music star played his final jungle tune after last-minute whispers eliminated the contestant. Don Rogers has been voted out of Australian Survivor after his name appeared time and time again at the tribal council.
While the player thought he was safe after swapping over to the Bounty tribe with some of his old Barren tribemates, Keeley hatched a new plan to vote Don out, leaving returning player Mark reeling.
The Big Brother star has left the jungle
On Wednesday night, March 4, fans bid farewell to Big Brother star, Johnson.
With strategies and plans being hatched from every direction, no one was completely sure who would be voted out from the Barren Tribe after they lost the immunity challenge. This led to a nervous Brooke playing her idol to be safe. This proved to be an unnecessary move since all the votes were eventually cast to Johnson and Don.
Unfortunately for Johnson, Don lucked out, sending the ex Big Brother star packing.
Not even Harry “Dirty Harry” Hills is safe
This Bounty Tribe member and returning player was eliminated after a string of unlucky moments piled against him.
After losing individual immunity to Lyndl in a balance challenge, the names on everyone’s lips were “Harry” and “Jackson”, with Aisha raising scepticism as she claimed that Harry “knows [the game] TOO well.”
Harry planned to trick the tribe into voting Richard out over Jackson and himself by stealing and hiding the tribe’s flint and warning them that they have a 50 percent chance of losing it by voting either of them out. However, Jackson took a more wholesome approach, throwing Harry under the bus by pulling the flint out of his pocket and declaring that he would never rob his tribemates of their ability to make a fire.
From that moment onwards, Harry knew it was game over.
Paula’s elimination left Harry in shock
On Monday, March 2, Paula was sent packing.
It seems the other players were weary of her alliance with returning veteran Harry Hills, particularly Lyndl, who was the centre of Paula and Harry’s take-down plot.
After being let in on the pair’s plan, Lottie confessed the coup to Aisha and suddenly the tribes turned against Paula, leaving Harry in shock, and Lyndl sighing in relief… and clutching her idol.
Eliza was the third contestant to leave
Eliza was the third castaway to be eliminated from Australian Survivor: Redemption, and it was something no one saw coming.
Despite having a solid alliance with Jackson, her “twin flame”, this Bounty tribe member soon realised she was on the outer rings of a newly formed eight-castaway alliance.
However, it was her decision to share this news with Lyndl that ultimately put the target on her back.
After Lyndl brought the news to the group, the vote was split between Eliza and Loz, with Eliza drawing the short straw.
Cat was blindsided by her elimination
Cat should be the master of deception, particularly given her The Traitors NZ credentials.
However, returning Australian Survivor player Mark is a fan of the show and immediately blew her cover.
Despite a bid to eliminate Faith when the tribal council arrived, Cat went head-to-head with Johnson after watching him target Tez.
Ultimately, her efforts were fruitless as Mark worked behind the scenes, roping in Keeley and other players on his plan to eliminate Cat.
While she didn’t see the seven votes against her coming, it seemed it was the obvious choice for the other contestants.
Pastor Daniel is the first to leave
It turns out being a massive fan of the show isn’t all it takes to win it!
Opening the show with some messy gameplay, like forgetting other players’ names (whoops!), Daniel was sent straight to the firing line as he was deemed untrustworthy and a liability.
After Bounty tribe lost the Immunity Challenge, they ended up at Tribal Council, with Daniel the name on everyone’s vote.
