If one thing is for certain, it’s that Australian Survivor 2025: Brains v Brawn II is unpredictable — one minute, a castaway may be flying high with immunity, and the next, they’re left blindsided at Tribal Council.
During practically every season of Australian Survivor, viewers experience emotional whiplash as their faves are eliminated from the beaches of Samoa and sent home — or to the jury villa.
Long-time host Jonathan LaPaglia will guide the cast through the shocking Tribal Councils (which, for the uninitiated, are where tribe members are voted off). Jonathan has hosted the popular reality TV show since its revival in 2016, totalling nine seasons.
There can only be one Australian Survivor 2025 cast member who will outwit, outplay and outlast all of their fellow castaways, and that person will be crowned the Sole Survivor of the Brain v Brawn II season.
The winner of Australian Survivor 2025 will take home bragging rights and a whopping $500,000 cash prize. One of the many upsides of competing on Australian Survivor compared to its US counterpart is that the prize money isn’t taxed, meaning the winner takes home the entire half a million buckaroos.
Read on to find out who’s left Australian Survivor so far — and have lost their chance at winning the prize money.
Who has been eliminated from Australian Survivor 2025?
Candy Rule was the first player to have their torch snuffed on Australian Survivor. She was eliminated in Episode 1 with five votes against her — Ursula narrowly missed out on elimination with four votes.
Meanwhile, Nash sashayed into the first Tribal Council with an Idol around his neck and led the campaign against Candy. However, he ended up playing his Idol even though only three votes were cast against him, meaning that he wouldn’t have left even if he didn’t play his Idol.
In Episode 2, Indy Saleh became the second contestant sent packing after the Brains Council snuffed her torch.
The girls initially plotted to take out Rich, but when Indy deliberately spilled the plan to him, the move backfired. Branded untrustworthy (and “as good as a boy”) she quickly became the tribe’s top target.
Miles also racked up a few votes, but in the end, Indy’s fate was sealed in a landslide.
