Season chronology |
The second season of Australian Survivor , also known as Australian Celebrity Survivor and Celebrity Survivor: Vanuatu, is a television series based on the international reality game show franchise Survivor . 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. It was hosted by television personality and former record company executive Ian "Dicko" Dickson.
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. Guy donated his A$100,000 charity prize to Ride Aid Inc [1] while the charities of the other players each received a donation of A$5,000.
The season aired on the Seven Network in 2006, the same year the network aired other celebrity-oriented reality programs including It Takes Two and Dancing with the Stars . Although better received than the Nine Network's 2002 season, Seven's Celebrity Survivor series was still only a modest success in the ratings and was not renewed by the Seven Network. A third Australian Survivor was not produced until 10 years later when Network Ten picked up the rights to the franchise and produced a third season which aired in 2016.
In 2006, Nine Network held the rights to screen the American edition of Survivor and the licence to produce a local edition of Survivor, which resulted in Nine's 2002 edition of Australian Survivor . However, the Seven Network found a loophole in their contract and obtained the rights to produce Australian Celebrity Survivor, as Castaway Television views the Celebrity Survivor format as a different format from the regular format. [2] [3] Castaway Television, who produced Nine's series, was again involved in the production of this second Australian season of Survivor.
The show was filmed on the island of Éfaté in Vanuatu, which was used for the 9th season of the American edition ( Survivor: Vanuatu – Islands of Fire ) and the 6th season of the French edition ( Koh-Lanta: Vanuatu ). Production of the series took place over twenty-five days, from late May to early June 2006, with promotional advertising beginning in July. The executive producer of Celebrity Survivor was David Mason, who also produced other shows on the Seven Network, such as Medical Emergency , Who Dares Wins and The Mole.
Before the series began, Dickson and a few of the Celebrity Survivor contestants appeared on the Seven Network's breakfast news show, Sunrise, to promote the series. This paralleled what occurs in the American version, when the show is promoted on The Early Show , CBS' own breakfast news program, and what happened during the Nine Network's Australian Survivor venture, when the series was featured on the early morning show, Today and A Current Affair . 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 1, nine of the twelve players were divided based on gender into two tribes. The five women composed the Moso tribe and the four men made up the Kakula tribe. Later on Day 1, a player of the opposite gender joined each tribe. On Day 3, for winning the first immunity challenge, Kakula received a former soldier and survival expert as their sixth tribe member. On Day 6, the ten remaining players were redistributed into two mixed-gender tribes of five.
On Day 12, the seven remaining players merged into the Tanna tribe. These players made up the two finalists and the five members of the jury, who ultimately decided who would be the "Sole Survivor".

Nine of the twelve celebrity castaways were divided into two tribes based on gender: Kakula (men) and Moso (women). A player of the opposite gender joined each tribe later on day 1 (Justin on Moso and Gabrielle on Kakula), and Kakula won an additional tribe member for winning the first immunity challenge ("survival expert" Ben). A tribe swap on day 6 sent David & Elton to Moso and Imogen & Nicolle to Kakula, and the tribes merged into the Tanna tribe on day 12.
Initially, the players joined forces to eliminate Guy first, for being the most obvious physical threat, and Elton soon followed for the same reason. The tribe turned on Justin due to him allegedly making a monetary deal with Gabrielle for him to remain in the game, and Gabrielle was the next to go after her ally. The first four voted out since the merge competed for a chance to re-enter the game, with Guy and Justin emerging victorious. 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. In the end, the jury sided with Guy, and he won the prize money for his charity.

Nine of the twelve celebrity cast members begun the game by meeting host Dicko on a yacht. They were divided into two tribes based on their gender (Kakula for the men and Moso for the women) and were then transported to their designated tribe beaches by local Vanuatuan tribes. Upon arriving at their beach, the Moso tribe was initially surprised that they were given absolutely no camping equipment or tents. Kym especially expressed her shock that they had to build their own shelter, and mentioned that she had never been camping before. Over at the Kakula tribe, Guy, David and Wayne immediately started to make plans to build their shelter before they ran out of daylight. Shortly after both tribes began setting up camp, both tribes were surprised with an additional tribe member. Justin arrived on a boat and became a part of the all-female Moso tribe, and Gabrielle arrived and joined the male Kakula tribe. Both brought the following items with them: saucepans, flint and machetes.
Kakula won the challenge. At Moso, Imogen was annoyed by Fiona whom she thought had taken on a boisterous leader role, while Fiona pulled Amber aside saying she wanted to vote out Imogen first because she was their weakest link in challenges.
Once again, Kakula won the challenge. Before Tribal Council, Fiona approached Justin and asked him if he was thinking of voting Imogen also to which he agreed. Kym was also struggling with the elements and stated that she didn't want to vote anybody out. Eventually, Kym was voted out in a unanimous vote, also voting for herself. | |||||

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.
Kakula won reward, but opted to give half of their fruit to Moso. Most of the Moso tribe enjoyed their fruit and appreciated the kind gesture from Kakula, while Fiona refused to eat any of the fruit and stated that she was fine living solely off the food they had themselves acquired. She also ranted that they were doing well enough and that they didn't need any handouts. 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. At Kakula, Wayne and Gabrielle spoke about possibly voting off Ben as he was the last person to join their team.
Moso won their first challenge of the season. 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. They considered turning on each other, and Wayne later approached Guy to ask him if voting out Gabrielle was a possibility. In the end, Ben was voted out in a 5–1 vote. | |||||
16 | 3 | "Episode 3" | Days 6-7 | 31 August 2006 | |
Waking up on day 6, Fiona discovered fruit flies through the tribe's fruit bag and ranted about the tribe not listening to her, getting into a disagreement with Amber. Fiona continued to rub her tribemates the wrong way throughout the day. Heading into the reward challenge, Justin and Gabrielle (the last two cast members to arrive on day one) were assigned to designated mats, Gabrielle to Kakula and Justin to Moso. Gabrielle selected a male first, with Justin selecting a female first and alternating until two new tribes formed.
Moso won reward. Imogen & Nicolle were in the minority on Kakula, and David & Elton were in the minority on Moso; original tribal lines held strong. When arriving at their new camp, Imogen heard Guy and Wayne saying that they would use them for information and then get rid of them.
Kakula won the challenge. At Moso, Elton and David targeted Fiona for her weakness and annoyance, and Fiona and Justin targeted David for making them lose the immunity challenge. Amber was a swing vote and unsure of how to vote. At Tribal Council, she decided to betray her original Moso alliance and voted with the former Kakula members, sending Fiona out of the game. | |||||
17 | 4 | "Episode 4" | Days 8-9 | 7 September 2006 | |
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.
Kakula won reward. Talk continued regarding Gabrielle's loyalty to Guy and Wayne. 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.
Kakula won the challenge. Before heading to Tribal Council, the Moso tribe was in disorganisation; Amber was worried that she would be next voted out for flipping on her alliance at the previous Tribal Council. Although Justin promised his loyalty to her, he was paranoid that she would vote with Elton and David against him. Elton and David remained strong and Justin decided to vote with them, voting out Amber in a unanimous vote. | |||||
18 | 5 | "Episode 5" | Days 10-11 | 14 September 2006 | |
Torrential rain awoke a sleeping Kakula tribe on night 9, and they were forced to wake and fix their shelter to avoid being wet. The next day, Gabrielle stated that she felt sorry for the Moso tribe because they didn't have a very strong shelter to which Wayne told her that if she felt so sorry for them, she could go over and join them. Guy showed concern as Gabrielle was a swing vote and her run-ins with Wayne could cause her to flip and vote with Nicolle and Imogen.
Moso won reward.
Moso won immunity. At Kakula before Tribal Council, Imogen and Nicolle approached Gabrielle and attempted to cement an all girls alliance, targeting Wayne. Wayne and Guy were confident that Gabrielle would stick with them and vote out Imogen. Gabrielle was torn between joining her original alliance or siding with the women. In the end, she betrayed Guy and Wayne, helping Imogen and Nicolle take out Wayne. | |||||
19 | 6 | "Episode 6" | Days 12-13 | 21 September 2006 | |
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. The remaining Moso tribe were instantly shocked when they realised that Gabrielle had flipped, and voted out Wayne.
Guy won and was allowed to take two people to join him on reward; he chose Gabrielle and Elton. On the newly merged Tanna tribe, while Gabrielle, Elton and Guy were enjoying the reward, David went for a walk with Imogen and proposed to her that he and Elton, who were tightly aligned, join her and Nicolle and make a strong alliance of four.
David won immunity. Talk immediately began surrounding who would be ousted at the first merged Tribal Council. Nicolle, Gabrielle and Justin discussed voting out Guy because he was the biggest physical threat left. Guy and Elton felt that it would be either of them being voted out. In the end, Guy was voted out with a vote of 5-2. | |||||
20 | 7 | "Episode 7" | Days 14-15 | 28 September 2006 | |
Talk started to arise around the Tanna camp about Gabrielle's lack of work ethic. While all of the other members of the tribe regularly worked around camp and maintaining the fire, Gabrielle just sat around which caused Nicolle to mention that she would talk to Gabrielle about the issue.
The team of David, Imogen and Gabrielle won immunity. When they returned from their reward the next morning, David was not impressed to discover that in his absence Justin had stepped up to cook David's signature "Island Porridge" and also broke one of his pots. Elton and David also discussed their hopes that the majority of four would turn on each other; otherwise, it would be one of them being voted out next.
David won his second individual immunity. Before Tribal Council, Elton was confident that he would be voted out due to being the most obvious physical threat. David approached Nicolle and proposed that they vote out Gabrielle for being lazy around camp. Nicolle suggested that Imogen would vote with her, as would Elton. However, she was not sure which way she would vote. Nicolle decided not to approach anyone else about the possibility of voting for Gabrielle, instead joining the majority in voting Elton out. | |||||
21 | 8 | "Episode 8" | Days 16-17 | 5 October 2006 | |
Upon returning from Tribal Council, David was nervous for being the sole outsider of the former Moso alliance plus Gabrielle. Ahead of the reward challenge, Nicolle and Justin made a deal to take each other on the reward should they win.
Nicolle won the final round against Justin. Nicolle was told to take another castaway and she debated honouring the prior deal or taking her friend Imogen. Ultimately she chose to take Imogen, upsetting Justin for not honouring the earlier deal. Back at camp, David observed the closeness of Gabrielle and Justin, as they commonly are together in camp life activities. While searching for food, Justin and Gabrielle grew closer together. Following their return to camp, Nicolle and Imogen speculated that Gabrielle and Justin would betray their alliance of 4 and that Gabrielle had been asked by Justin to remain in the game to advance Justin in the game.
Justin was the first to be eliminated, followed by David and Nicolle. Imogen won immunity by taking out Gabrielle's last tile. Following the immunity challenge, David was nervous about being voted off as the outsider to the alliance. However, Nicolle and Imogen considered eliminating Justin after speculation that Justin had made a monetary deal to Gabrielle to remain in the game and to play for his benefit. At Tribal Council, Imogen publicly brought up the speculation of Justin's bribing of Gabrielle and the fact that Justin had been in the dominant position in the alliance of 4. Additionally, she gave immunity to alliance-mate Nicolle to not "hide behind" having immunity while making such allegations. While Justin voted against Imogen, the remainder of the tribe (including Gabrielle) turned on Justin to vote him out. | |||||
22 | 9 | "Episode 9" | Days 18-19 | 12 October 2006 | |
After returning from Tribal Council without Justin and with the end in sight, Gabrielle felt that she was now in the game to win for herself. The next morning, Imogen and Nicolle talked about getting rid of David to form an all-female Final 3. At the challenge site, Dicko surprised the Final 4 with their respective loved ones.
Gabrielle was eliminated first, followed by Imogen. David cut his own rope to give the reward to Nicolle. 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. At the immunity challenge, Dicko once again surprised the Final 4 with their loved ones, who will assist them in the immunity challenge.
David and his wife Lisa won the challenge, giving him immunity. With David immune and Nicolle and Imogen not voting for each other, Gabrielle was resigned to the fact that she would most likely be voted out that night. 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). However, David was reluctant to talk strategy with her. At Tribal Council, David sided with the Nicolle and Imogen to vote off Gabrielle. | |||||
23 | 10 | "Episode 10" | Days 20-21 | 19 October 2006 | |
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. At the challenge site, Dicko surprised the Final 3 with the four jury members, telling them that the jury members would have the chance to return to the game, confirming David's theory.
Gabrielle was eliminated in the first round and Elton was eliminated in the second. Hence, Justin and Guy returned to the game. Back at camp, everyone was wary of their position in the game. The original three were wary of the return of Justin and Guy; Justin for the "Bribery Scandal" a few days earlier, and Guy due to his status as a physical threat in the challenges. The returnees were worried that the original three would stick together to vote off Guy and Justin. Guy talked to David about the fact that it would be better for him to take Guy and Justin forward as they would not win the jury vote, due to being eliminated before. Justin, Imogen and Nicolle patched things up and discussed voting off the strategic threat, David. This discussion got back to David as Guy told him about it. Guy then gathered the other men for a meeting to potentially align with each other to eliminate Imogen and Nicolle.
David, Imogen and Guy moved onto the second round, where Imogen won immunity. At camp, Imogen reassured David of the alliance of three with Nicolle and agreed to vote off Guy. Imogen and Justin discussed voting off David. This led to Imogen giving Justin her word to vote off David. However, Imogen and Nicolle were still unsure about which way to vote, leaving them as swing votes. At Tribal Council, the girls ultimately sided with Guy and Justin to vote off David. | |||||
24 | 11 | "Episode 11" | Days 22-23 | 26 October 2006 | |
Upon returning from camp, the four remaining castaways discussed the elimination of David. While all were confident in making the correct strategic decision, Nicolle felt bad for not telling David that he would be eliminated. The next morning, the division between the group became clear with Imogen and Nicolle being together and Guy and Justin being another duo. Guy held a tribe meeting to discuss having a "clear fight" for the rest of the game, with the obvious division being in place.
Both of the girls were quick to drop their buckets, leaving Guy and Justin to battle for reward. Justin dropped the pole, giving the reward to Guy. Following the challenge, Guy was told to pick two castaways to join him. He chose Imogen and Justin, leaving Nicolle alone at camp for the night. After the reward, the two pairs privately strategized where they should vote at the upcoming Tribal Council, given the countback tiebreaker rule in place. Nicolle and Imogen wanted to place their votes on Guy due to him having more prior votes than Justin, while Guy and Justin believed that Nicolle had more votes than Imogen.
Guy won immunity with four points. With the two pairs being solid, no one was willing to change their allegiances. At Tribal Council, the vote resulted in a tie between Justin and Nicolle. A Tribal Council Countback was called. However, that ended in deadlock with both Justin and Nicolle receiving 4 previous votes. A jury vote was called to resolve the deadlock. By a unanimous vote, the Jury voted out Nicolle, leaving a shocked Imogen in the Final 3 with Guy and Justin. | |||||
25 | 12 | "Episode 12" | Days 24-25 | 2 November 2006 | |
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. The following morning, the Final 3 left camp to participate in the traditional "Rites of Passage". They walked past the torches of the 9 castaways who had left the game. They lighted each torch to honour each castaway. Following this, the Final 3 went to their final immunity challenge.
Just prior to the conclusion of the first hour, Guy briefly lifted his leg from the raft, eliminating him from the challenge. Imogen dropped at the start of the third hour, giving immunity to Justin. At camp, Imogen was worried that Justin would take Guy to the Final 2 but tried to convince Justin that Guy would be a jury threat. At Tribal Council, Justin ultimately chose to vote off Imogen, as he perceived her to be more of a jury threat since she was on the island for the entirety of the game, while both Guy and Justin were not. On day 25, Justin and Guy celebrated with the traditional final 2 breakfast before heading to the final Tribal Council. At the final Tribal Council, the jury members were given an opportunity to question the finalists. David began the questioning, asking Guy why he convinced Nicolle and Imogen that David would betray the pair and how could David vote for Guy given that dishonesty. Guy replied that he was on the chopping block that night and David had to be eliminated but admitted that he was not honest in this instance. Nicolle asked Justin about the "Bribery Scandal" including the monetary reward offered to Nicolle and some other tribemates. He replied that some of his tribemates wanted to quit, which would weaken his position in the game. He told the jury that he felt embarrassed to offer money in the game, and he apologised for the bribery scandal. Gabrielle asked Justin about why she wasn't told about the bribery despite their close relationship both inside and outside of the game. He replied that she didn't want him to. Elton asked Guy about his earlier exit and how someone could win the game despite being eliminated from the game and "enjoying at the buffet". Guy replied that he was simply playing by the rules of the game and his return was a part of said rules and questioned the fairness of the rule. Imogen asked Justin why he was the best person to win the game. Justin responded that he gave the game his best shot, that he had been eliminated for a shorter period than Guy and that it was an honor and a pleasure to play the game with the members of the jury. The finalists were given an opportunity to give their final statements. Guy apologised for anyone he had wronged and being eliminated from the game for 6 days, simply stating, "I am what I am". Justin acknowledged that Survivor a hard game and stated that their friendship was more important than this game. He expressed that he was thankful for the friendships to result from this game. The final jury vote revealed that Guy was named the "Sole Survivor" in a 3–2 vote. He won the votes of Elton, Gabrielle, and David, and was awarded the immunity necklace to symbolise his victory. |
