This season is way too short!

Survivor: Australia v The World host Jonathan LaPaglia

The world’s shortest (and arguably best) season of Survivor is already wrapping up, with the Survivor: Australia v The World finale just around the corner.

Despite only premiering on August 17, this all-star edition has flown by with just ten jam-packed episodes, a sharp contrast to the usual 24-episode run of Australian Survivor.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Survivor: Australia v The World finale.

When will the Survivor: Australia v The World finale air?

While there isn’t an official date for the finale, it’s looking like it will air on Sunday, September 7.

We already know that this season has 10 episodes, and, according to the TV guide, episode 9 airs on September 2. The Amazing Race Australia premieres on Channel 10 on September 8 — meaning that the Sunday slot looks to be in the Australian Survivor finale.

Who will be in the Survivor: Australia v The World finale?

At the time of writing, there are eight players still in the running to be crowned the Sole Survivor, they are Luke Toki, Janine Allis, Parvati Shallow, Shonee Bowtell, Lisa Holmes, Tommi Manninen, Kassandre Bastarache and Cirie Fields.

The season has seen George Mladenov, David Genat, Rob Bentele and Tony Vlachos become early boots, and Sarah Tileke and Kirby Bentley were eliminated post-merge and sent to the jury villa.

Will there be a final two or final three?

In both the international and Australian versions of Survivor, the finale comes down to either two or three contestants at the Final Tribal Council. There, they make their case to the jury, who ultimately crown the winner with their votes.

The last time Australian Survivor saw a final three at Tribal Council was in 2022. However, there’s no word whether this season will stick with the recent final two format, or revert back to the final three.
