Australian Survivor 2025: Two Champions Crowned in Landmark Year of Strategic Gameplay

A Historic Year for Australian Survivor

2025 marked a significant year for Australian Survivor, featuring two seasons: Brains V Brawn II, which concluded in March, followed by a special shorter season, Australia V The World, airing from August 2025.

Brains V Brawn II Champion

The first season of 2025, Brains V Brawn II, concluded with Myles Kuah being crowned the winner. This season once again proved the dominance of the Brains tribe, as they emerged victorious for the second time in this format.

Myles’ journey to victory was particularly impressive, as he was targeted from the very beginning of the game. His chaotic style and bold strategic moves initially divided opinion among his fellow contestants, but his impressive gameplay ultimately earned him the grand prize of $500,000.

Australia V The World: A Global Showdown

The second season of 2025 made history as the first-ever global showdown, featuring 14 veteran players from around the world. Contestants came from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the United States, Finland, and Québec, all competing for a $250,000 prize and their place in Survivor history.

In a dramatic finale, Parvati Shallow emerged victorious, claiming her second Survivor crown in what has been described as one of the most strategically intense seasons in the show’s history. The 42-year-old reality television legend’s win further cemented her place among the game’s greatest competitors.

Looking Ahead

The year also marked a significant transition for the show, as it was announced that Jonathan LaPaglia would conclude his tenure as host. The torch will be passed to David Genat, a three-time player and All Stars winner, who will begin hosting with the 2026 Redemption season.
