It's a battle of the alphas.

It’s Million Dollar Island Australia 2023 episode three and we’ve got an hour-and-a-half-long slightly passive aggressive face-off between alpha player Karla and outspoken Survival Enthusiast Adrian.

Here are 12 thoughts I had during episode three of Million Dollar Island Australia.

  1. The episode kicks off with Karla ordering her team around, and I’m still confused about why she’s in charge when no other teams have leaders.

2. Christine gets in a big fight with her camp over food. Turns out she took extra rice because she doesn’t eat garlic so that she can have an equal portion and I’m just wondering how much room the garlic takes up in their rice bowls?

3. Interesting. A relaxed Vegan chiropractor called Yasmin picks this week’s tributes for the challenge, and she chooses a mix of volunteers and challenge guns, which is both a big move and cop-out at the same time. We have Luke, Nate, Adrian, Karla, Brendan, and Christine competing for immunity.

The Challenge

4. I’m living for the Karla vs Adrian (the ahem, Survival Enthusiast) narrative that’s being pushed on us but I’m not sure why are they fighting before the challenge even starts.

5. The contestants select their teams for the challenge and I’m praying Adrian and Karla will be paired together.

6. Sadly, the two survival rivals are on separate teams, but an Adrian and Christine team is still quite spicy, hopefully, she can’t smell the garlic on him from breaky.

The Second Challenge

7. Adrian conveniently forgets Karla’s name and it could be the best moment of this season so far.

8 . The second challenge kicks off and Brendan reveals that he’s never touched a coconut “in his life” and I’m confused. How is that possible?

9. Despite never had touch a coconut, Brendan wins the challenge which is extremely lol worthy considering Adrian is a self-confessed Survival Enthusiast and he lost to a coconut virgin.

The Elimination

10. This week’s challenge winner Nate decides to leave because he missed his family which is a plot twist, who will he give the bracelets to? Can he split them up?

11. Karla gets saved by a rando contestant that’s leaving and Adrian isn’t stoked. However, it’s clear he’s eyeing Nate’s five bracelets, which are up for grabs, anyway.

12. Unfortunately for Adrian, but fortunately for us as viewers, Nate hands all his bracelets to the richest man on the island Brett, and MDI Survival Enthusiast is sent packing.

Million Dollar Island Australia continues on Sunday 18 at 7.30pm on 7 and 7Plus.
