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?
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.
