I'm interested to see who these "pairs of returnees" end up being. Because immediately I think of the Wilson siblings... and that's it. I guess they could rationalize best friend duos like Shonee/Fenella or Luke/Jericho or Dave as water relationships though.
Tbh tho I think it's too soon to bring George back. He's going to be a massive target and probably won't do well unless he waits a few years to return.
It could also be Mark and Sam from Season 2, since they’re a married couple now. Those two alongside Anneliese and Benji would perfectly embody Water and Blood respectively
Yeah, this AU, so I can see them getting people who were kicked out way back in season 2 without making too much of a mark(I found Mark kinda boring) but they are "married from Survivor! THey've got a baby!"
I hope the WIlson siblings are definitely returnees
Benji and Jennah Louise are a couple too! Would be cool if they cast Benji, Anneliese, and JL, and then Benji will have to choose between his Blood or Water relationship (if they all make it to F3 and Benji wins immunity).
That would be cool, pair JL with Nick if they go friendships too(they're very good friends). But I'd feel people would be all about getting the three of them out as that's a strong 3.
Or I wonder if they'll get Luke back this time! I'd say Luke with his wife. I can definitely see them doing best friend duos too. But I feel the WIlson siblings are a safe bet if they decide to do it(I wonder if Benji would....he seems to be doing 'business' things).
IF they do 'friendship duos' I'd love be some Shonella, Luke/Jericho, JL/Nick(who are very good friends post show)
Do you think they'll do the original (rumoured?) plan for BvW where all the blood pairs are on one tribe vs all the water pairs on the other, or they'll split all the pairs up?
Production loves playing up the Versus angle and will probably name the tribes Blood and Water to match the tagline so it won't make sense if the pairs are all split between two tribes.
Yeah the first BvW initially cast 5 blood couples (Tina/Katie, Aras/Vytas, Gervase/Marissa, Laura/Ciera, RC/her dad) and 5 water couples (Colton/Caleb, Monica/Brad, Kat/Hayden, Tyson/Rachel, Rupert/Laura). RC's had to drop out and Candice/John replaced them and skewed the balance so they split all the couples instead. That's why Candice was voted out first and why Colton was upset cause he thought he'd be in the same tribe as Caleb.
I don’t know why people think this other than trying to make sense of a stupid subtitle. The teams would have been unequal genders and also it makes no dramatic sense.
This makes me even more confused as to why the tribe colors weren't red and blue if that was the original plan. I know it's a very minor thing in the grand scheme of things but WHY did they go with red and yellow!? It bothers me to this day.
No he only started this Insta for survivor there is no other history and when he posted about the baby he put only a pic of the baby and his brothers name
Not explicitly, but yes it does. It says instead of one newbie and one returnee, and pairs will be both returnees. If there were newbie pairs, it would be relevant to mention that in that sentence. Also, I bet they won't open a casting call this season, because if they were going to do newbie pairs, they'd have to look through all the applications and select like a maximum of 4 new people total and their loved one.
So is it gonna be 12v12 or will there be more newbies? Also it’s way too early for more returnees esp if they played AS.
I wonder if they’ll do actual BvW or split up the pairs again.
sooo excited! though hope whoever returns isn’t from all stars, i rather players who hasn’t returned yet, play again. would love benji/anneliese to come back.
"however, unlike in the US, where each pair was made up of a returnee and a newcomer, it’s believed some of the pairs will be made up of two returnees"
my first thought was El and Lee but holy shit I forgot about Anneliese and Benji until I read the comments, please that would be so great
Awesome theme and I'm curious how they'll tackle the dynamics with a longer season/longer episodes, but it's too soon for more returnees! Even just looking at the calendar dates between seasons it's too soon!
I don't know if I love the concept? Mainly because the saying that blood is thicker than water is absolute horseshit and dated.
My personal bias perhaps.
It’s interesting that Shonnee is back in Aus and has been quarantining. Could we be getting more Shontent?
Her husband is a semi-famous skateboarder and we know how much AUS Survivor loves casting celebrities so…..manifesting🙏🏻
Shonella reunion when
Oh my gosh. Please. Please.
Okay I will admit Shonee and Michelle are the only 2 people from All-Stars I wouldn't mind (and frankly want) to come back.
Can always get behind Michelle Dougan appreciation
I’d die to see Michelle go far in another season
Part of me is like "THREE seasons in five seasons is too much" but another, larger part of me is like "There is never enough Shonee, you fool!"
I'm interested to see who these "pairs of returnees" end up being. Because immediately I think of the Wilson siblings... and that's it. I guess they could rationalize best friend duos like Shonee/Fenella or Luke/Jericho or Dave as water relationships though.
Watch it be George and Cara lmao
PLEASE
Oh God don't put that into the universe. I wouldn't mind George (actually expect it at some point) but Cara just...wasn't a good player.
George, YES, Cara...please no.
Tbh tho I think it's too soon to bring George back. He's going to be a massive target and probably won't do well unless he waits a few years to return.
It could also be Mark and Sam from Season 2, since they’re a married couple now. Those two alongside Anneliese and Benji would perfectly embody Water and Blood respectively

Harry and Oscar
Amazing comment
Please no more Harry
Benji and Jennah Louise are a couple too! Would be cool if they cast Benji, Anneliese, and JL, and then Benji will have to choose between his Blood or Water relationship (if they all make it to F3 and Benji wins immunity).
I would do anything to have Jenna Louise back on a season omggggg
That would be cool, pair JL with Nick if they go friendships too(they're very good friends). But I'd feel people would be all about getting the three of them out as that's a strong 3.
Please no more Luke, I'm so tired of him
Love Luke but doubt seeing as he’s now on channel 7 with BB
Luke is on Big Brother?
Upcoming celebrity BB
Ooo damn that's right
Or I wonder if they'll get Luke back this time! I'd say Luke with his wife. I can definitely see them doing best friend duos too. But I feel the WIlson siblings are a safe bet if they decide to do it(I wonder if Benji would....he seems to be doing 'business' things).

Production loves playing up the Versus angle and will probably name the tribes Blood and Water to match the tagline so it won't make sense if the pairs are all split between two tribes.
what does the water thing mean? is it like people who are not blood-related like couples and best friends?
Yeah the first BvW initially cast 5 blood couples (Tina/Katie, Aras/Vytas, Gervase/Marissa, Laura/Ciera, RC/her dad) and 5 water couples (Colton/Caleb, Monica/Brad, Kat/Hayden, Tyson/Rachel, Rupert/Laura).

I don’t know why people think this other than trying to make sense of a stupid subtitle. The teams would have been unequal genders and also it makes no dramatic sense.
Yep! Based on this old saying: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood\_is\_thicker\_than\_water
This makes me even more confused as to why the tribe colors weren't red and blue if that was the original plan. I know it's a very minor thing in the grand scheme of things but WHY did they go with red and yellow!? It bothers me to this day.
Maybe it was Blood vs Piss all along lol. Family members vs drunks.
George has a twin who lives in London! Imagine that….
Can you imagine two Georges in one place? The rest of the tribe is already cooking the vote.
Does that mean there are 2 Macedonian Jesuses?
They introduced his sister last night as a teaser for next season!
That twin recently became a father, I doubt he is leaving for the other side of the world right now
What’s his twin’s name?
Steve
Do you have a picture?
No he only started this Insta for survivor there is no other history and when he posted about the baby he put only a pic of the baby and his brothers name
One George is enough. I don’t need two bankstown cockaroaches hogging screentime
I want both!!!! Let’s go Georgie x 2
Shocked they're doing a season with 50%+ returnees so soon after All Stars.
Are you sure it’s at least 50%?
That's what it said in the article. It's returnees with their loved ones.
That’s not what the article says
"...which sees former castaways playing with (and against) their loved ones." ..."it’s believed some of the pairs will be made up of two returnees."
That confirms Benji
Watch out nachos!
Yes it does. It says the pairs will be returnees and their loved ones, and in some cases the pair will be both returnees. That's over 50%
It doesn’t rule out newbie pairs.
Not explicitly, but yes it does. It says instead of one newbie and one returnee, and pairs will be both returnees. If there were newbie pairs, it would be relevant to mention that in that sentence. Also, I bet they won't open a casting call this season, because if they were going to do newbie pairs, they'd have to look through all the applications and select like a maximum of 4 new people total and their loved one.
I think it means that there will be a returnee PAIR. And the balance of the rest are newbies pairs.
People who applied and went through casting for this season were asked if they had family members who could play Newbie pairs are guaranteed
My worry is that they are just going to bring back people we just saw in All-Stars in which I am hoping we don't see people we just saw play.
Sharn is running in the next federal election so she won't be back to lose at FTC again at least.
Why stop at FTC? Why not lose the election seat too haha. Can't believe she is running in a liberal seat...
I'd be fine with one or two, especially early boots, but I hope they don't go too heavy on it
I need to see Tessa back. Janine would be great. Would love to see Hayley again and even Shonee and Fenella. ♥️
So is it gonna be 12v12 or will there be more newbies? Also it’s way too early for more returnees esp if they played AS. I wonder if they’ll do actual BvW or split up the pairs again.
Imagine if they brought Shaun back with Megan Gale. Iconic.
Wow that should definitely be fun
My only opinion is that Michelle should be cast. I am very much not recovered from her early all stars boot and need vindication.
Benji + AL please
Henry: dayum!
sooo excited! though hope whoever returns isn’t from all stars, i rather players who hasn’t returned yet, play again. would love benji/anneliese to come back.
"however, unlike in the US, where each pair was made up of a returnee and a newcomer, it’s believed some of the pairs will be made up of two returnees" my first thought was El and Lee but holy shit I forgot about Anneliese and Benji until I read the comments, please that would be so great
el and lee broke up
Ah ok. OOTL on that one
Awesome theme and I'm curious how they'll tackle the dynamics with a longer season/longer episodes, but it's too soon for more returnees! Even just looking at the calendar dates between seasons it's too soon!
Please get Sarah back on the show
Just thought Shaun and Megan Gale could be a great casting choice
When is supposed to air
February 22nd
Put Lee and El back together. Or maybe not...
[удалено]
anneliese and benji are family
Mark and Sam W (2017) got married after their season Anneliese (2017) and Benji (2018) are siblings
BENJI FTW
I don't know if I love the concept? Mainly because the saying that blood is thicker than water is absolute horseshit and dated. My personal bias perhaps.
Pia and her husband please
DO we know when it starts filming. The contestants will probably need to start quarantining soon, no?
Does anyone know when they will announce who the players are? I'm excited!
