Australian Survivor season 2

The season featured 12 Australian celebrity contestants competing on the Vanuatuan island of Éfaté over 25 days for a grand prize of A$100,000 for the winner's chosen charity.After 25 days on the island, surf lifesaving champion Guy Leech was named the "Sole Survivor" in a 3–2 jury vote over actor Justin Melvey.Production of the series took place over twenty-five days, from late May to early June 2006, with promotional advertising beginning in July.Two of the season's contestants, Amber Petty and Nicolle Dickson, also appeared in television commercials for Olay Total Effects, which were broadcast during the series.On Day 3, for winning the first immunity challenge, Kakula received a former soldier and survival expert as their sixth tribe member.Nine of the twelve celebrity castaways were divided into two tribes based on gender: Kakula (men) and Moso (women).Initially, the players joined forces to eliminate Guy first, for being the most obvious physical threat, and Elton soon followed for the same reason.David, Imogen, and Nicolle's attempts to vote the two of them out again due to their newfound threat status were futile, and they were all eliminated by Guy and Justin, who reached the final two.Over at the Kakula tribe, Guy, David and Wayne immediately started to make plans to build their shelter before they ran out of daylight.Waking up on day 4, the Moso tribe was suffering from being starved and fatigued, especially Imogen who felt dizzy when she left the shelter and vomited.Over at Kakula, life was quite the opposite, having a plentiful food source and even making their own toothbrushes thanks to the expertise of Ben.Later on in the jungle, while hunting for food, Fiona and Nicolle agreed that they would vote for Imogen if they lost the next immunity challenge.Before heading to their first Tribal Council, Wayne, Guy, Elton and Gabrielle were hesitant to vote out Ben, because he was their number one source of survival.At Tribal Council, she decided to betray her original Moso alliance and voted with the former Kakula members, sending Fiona out of the game.On day 8 at Kakula, Wayne and Guy became suspicious of Gabrielle becoming closer with Imogen and Nicolle, fearing that they would form an all girls alliance and they would be the next two to go.Nicolle and Imogen were hopeful that Gabrielle would flip and vote with them, while Wayne became more confident that she wouldn't, assuming that they would physically struggle in the future challenges without any brawn.Torrential rain awoke a sleeping Kakula tribe on night 9, and they were forced to wake and fix their shelter to avoid being wet.At Kakula before Tribal Council, Imogen and Nicolle approached Gabrielle and attempted to cement an all girls alliance, targeting Wayne.Kakula awoke to tree mail on day 12 informing them that they had ten minutes to take everything they could fit onto a canoe and head to the Moso camp.While Moso was cooking breakfast, David looked up and realised a group of canoes arriving, confirming a merge.Upon returning to camp, Nicolle felt indebted to David and wanted him to win immunity as she knew that she would have to vote him off if he didn't.However, she considered aligning with David to force a tie and break up the pair (which would result in a countback as Imogen and Nicolle both had more prior votes).Back at camp, Nicolle and Imogen were thankful for David keeping the pair in the game but were wary of his ulterior motives.David was glad to have formed a strong bond with the pair, as he figured there would be a twist of some variety, as there were too few castaways and too many days left.While all were confident in making the correct strategic decision, Nicolle felt bad for not telling David that he would be eliminated.Guy held a tribe meeting to discuss having a "clear fight" for the rest of the game, with the obvious division being in place.After the reward, the two pairs privately strategized where they should vote at the upcoming Tribal Council, given the countback tiebreaker rule in place.After the previous Tribal Council, Guy and Justin celebrated being in the Final 3, while an emotional Imogen mourned the loss of her alliance-mate and friend, Nicolle.Gabrielle asked Justin about why she wasn't told about the bribery despite their close relationship both inside and outside of the game.
