Ahead of the Brains v Brawn II season, Jonathan told Chattr why he believes Australian Survivor is such a success. He also teased that viewers can expect some new twists this season.

“We do 40 challenges a year! And the challenge department does an incredible job of invention and keeping it fresh. There are a couple old favourites, but most are new or variations of classics,” he revealed.

“Most of the twists are to facilitate the non-elims that are part of our format and end up being fun but we have a couple new advantages that are used in creative and unexpected ways this season.”
