Although Kaelan Lockhart hasn’t had a tonne of screentime on Australian Survivor 2025, he’s still managed to steal the hearts of viewers — as well as his fellow castaways.
The Ph.D. student has entire threads dedicated to him on the SurvivorAU subreddit, countless comments about his good looks on Instagram and even has his fellow castaways starry-eyed on X.
Australian Survivor’s Zara told Chattr that Kaelan is “so beloved” among the tribe.
“He is the man who he can’t put a foot wrong. Socially, everybody adores him. He is constantly helping out around camp, getting everybody coconuts,” she said.
Kaelan has been playing a low-key game on Survivor and has quietly formed alliances on the beach without ruffling many feathers so far. The most featured of his alliances is the one formed in an early episode with Zara, Karin, AJ and Myles called The Graduates.
But, The Graduates isn’t the only alliance Kaelan has up his sleeve.
Zara and Kaelan’s secret Survivor alliance
While Kaelan appears to work with AJ very closely on Survivor, Zara told Chattr that he had a two person alliance with her.
“We form a beautiful relationship, where he calls me his Survivor mother, and I call him my Survivor son. So he calls me Mama Z, and I call him baby K, which then everyone takes up as well.
“We had an interesting Alliance, which was [called] Denise and Malcolm, which is a Survivor US reference, with, like, a young, hot, able male and an older, fit female.”
With two back-to-back Challenge Immunities around his neck, Kaelan is likely to pick up attention for being a threat in coming episodes.
However, we’ve seen little of his relationship with Zara, will she step in and save her alliance partner when he becomes a target? We sure hope so, because we need more Kaelan content!
