It premiered on Wednesday, 24 July 2019, and concluded on 17 September 2019 with Pia Miranda named the winner over Baden Gillbert in a unanimous 9–0 vote, winning the grand prize of A$500,000 and title of Sole Survivor.
Among the Contenders is professional wrestler Matt Farrelly, former AFL player Shaun Hampson and The Amazing Race Australia 1 contestant Samantha "Sam" Schoers.
[3] Notes David Genat, John Eastoe, Daisy Richardson, Abbey Holmes and Harry Hills competed on Australian Survivor: All Stars.
Meanwhile, the Contenders were a united front with Shaun, a former AFL player, and Daisy as a power duo, with Andy and Harry floating in the middle.
However, Pia managed to point out her contributions to the numerous decisions made by the Champions' alliance post swap and kidnapping until the merge, which saw louder power players systematically voted out.
With a unanimous decision of 9 votes by the jury, Pia's social and strategic game was awarded at the end of the final Tribal Council in Fiji with the grand prize and the title of Sole Survivor.
Luke bonded with David, seeing him as a friend like Jericho from his last season, and the former approached Pia, Anastasia, and Janine for alliances.
Pia hoped that her positive attitude would make people want to keep her while Anastasia referred to her good performances in the challenges as the reason why she should stay.
Luke creates another "Spy Shack" (a tactic also used by Tony of Survivor US: Cagayan) and speaks with David about their plans moving forward.
At Tribal Council, the tribe discusses keeping themselves strong and Matt specifically states that some people have not contributed equally in the strength in the challenges.
Andy observes the items being handed out and deduces that Shaun, Daisy, Matt, and John are running the camp; Baden, Hannah, and Sarah are on the bottom, while he, Sam, Casey, and Harry were in the middle.
Steven, E.T., and Simon attempt to convince Ross to join back with them to blindside Pia in order to keep the tribe strong and upset the majority alliance.
At Contenders, Shaun is concerned about the strong strategic games Andy and Harry are playing and he wants to keep them on his side so they don't blindside him.
Sarah and Hannah hope to blindside Daisy at the next Tribal Council and discuss getting Andy and Baden to come onboard with their plan.
David gathers up the majority alliance, including Andy, and proposes that they vote Sarah out tonight as he perceives her as the weakest member of the tribe.
Harry decides that he's going to draw attention to himself at Tribal Council by calling people out to make the Champions all vote for him and then he can use the idol to get rid of Janine.
However, at the second half, Simon's accuracy and Ross's remarkable ability to hold his breath allowed the Contenders to come back and win immunity.
The group is aware that David has an idol, so they attempt to paint Hannah as the fake target because she came back from the challenge feeling sick.
Because Daisy had prior connections with Luke and David, she tells them that the plan is to unanimously vote out Hannah to keep the tribe strong.
Harry and Matt make one last pitch to Simon and Ross to flip and vote out Pia with them to break up Janine's strong alliance.
Luke states that the social game is the most important part of Survivor so he approaches Baden with the hope of making an alliance moving forward.
After the initial meet and greet, David gathers the original Champions, minus Luke, to discuss reuniting to take out the Contenders.
David fills the Champions in about everything going on with his tribe, including Shaun and Daisy's relationship and Andy's lies and trying to throw the immunity challenge.
During this discussion, Andy takes a lot of heat from David and Luke regarding some previous lies he's told, including throwing the immunity challenge and his attempt to blindside Daisy when Hannah left.
In addition, Baden also reveals to Luke the Contenders' intention to unite as he wants to keep playing the middle and have options down the road.
Back at camp, Janine rallies Abbey, Pia, and Simon and proposes to vote Daisy out next because she doesn't have many strong relationships and she is an unpredictable player.
Abbey does express an interest in sending Simon to Exile Beach because he's a physical threat and he likely wouldn't be able to orchestrate a move against her if he came back.
When the votes are cast, it is revealed that the alliance of Harry, Abbey, Baden, and Luke have stuck together and even Janine and Pia joined with them to unanimously eliminate Simon for the second time.
Baden states that leaders in Australian Survivor get voted out so he waited until the last possible moment to step up, which is why he fought hard for immunity and eliminated Harry.
