Episode 6 Recap – Heroes and Villains

Well, it took six episodes and a bit of patient frustration, but the Brains Tribe has finally caught up to the Brawn Tribe. Not in terms of winning challenges, of course, because they’ve been on a tragic downward spiral and still can’t win a single reward. But in terms of having a complex, well-crafted tribe narrative that explains their dynamics and gives everyone a notable role in the story, however small it may be in some cases.

Coming off the heels of Episode 5 and its baffling editing choices, Episode 6 is a solid, emotional, and game-changing reminder that Australian Survivor can still produce iconic moments based entirely on the players’ choices rather than with forced twists and production set-ups. But in typical Survivor AU fashion… there’s still a twist.

Having won four challenges in a row, Brawn has bounced back. While Flick and her allies enjoy the spoils of war and a night off from Tribal Council, Simon’s two idols are giving him more hope than ever. But unfortunately for Simon, self-proclaimed lover of animal products Gerald knows about one of his idols and runs to tell his allies. It’s bad news for Flick and Kez, but they’re ready to blindside Simon if need be before he becomes too powerful. The battle has been delayed, but it’s sure to be bloody when Brawn unsheathes its swords once again
