Australian Survivor: Titans v Rebels is the ninth season of the Network Ten incarnation of the competitive reality TV show Australian Survivor.

Introducing a cast of 24 new players, Titans v Rebels featured high-intensity gameplay, with season highlights including the breakdown of the Middle-Aged Mafia, the volatile friendship-rivalry between Rebels Feras Basal and Kirby Bentley which lasted throughout the game, and the constant shifts in power after the merge. In the end, Feras emerged as the Sole Survivor, defeating Titan Caroline Courtis in a unanimous vote.

Production[]

The season was filmed in Upolu, Samoa, also the location of the previous season.[2]

Twists/Changes[]

  • Titans v Rebels: Divided into two tribes, the "utterly ruthless" Titans would take on the Rebels who live by a "different set of rules".[3]
  • Hidden Immunity Idol
    • Buried Treasure: In addition to the idols initially hidden at each tribe camp, another idol was contained in a padlocked treasure chest, the key to which was given to the tribe that won the fourth Reward Challenge. Along with the idol was another key which could be given to a member of the opposing tribe to unlock their chest.
    • Leave Feast: On Day 24, members from both tribes were offered a choice between a feast and a clue to a newly planted Hidden Immunity Idol. Those who picked the clue would head back to camp immediately to commence their search.
  • Mock Vote
    • Saboteur: The tribe that lost the fifth Immunity Challenge would vote to send one member to the opposing tribe and "sabotage" them in the upcoming Immunity Challenge. If the opposing tribe lost, the "saboteur" would rejoin their original tribe before the vote at Tribal Council.
    • Tribe Switch: The tribe that lost the eleventh Immunity Challenge would not vote to eliminate a member. Rather, they were informed that the members who received votes would draw rocks to determine who would permanently switch to the other tribe.
  • Tribe Switch: On Day 15, a tribe switch occurred, shuffling the final 19 into two new tribes.
  • Limited Voters and Voting Options: On Day 21, the losing tribe competed in an individual Immunity Challenge where only the first three members to finish would be able to vote; they would also be ineligible from receiving votes.
  • Early Merge: This season merged with 14 castaways remaining.
  • Safety Without Power: The winner of the first post-merge Reward Challenge also received immunity at the first post-merge Tribal Council, but would not be able to vote.
  • Ultimate Vote: This advantage grants its holder the right to unilaterally decide the outcome of a Tribal Council, provided everyone else voted against them at that Tribal Council. Like the Hidden Immunity Idol, this advantage is played after the votes are cast, but before they are read. This advantage was secretly introduced as part of one of the items at the Survivor Auction on Day 32 and must be played within the next three Tribal Councils.
  • Final Tribal Council Format: Two finalists faced a jury of nine.

Season Summary[]

The season began with the twenty-four contestants divided into two tribes of twelve: The "Titans", known for being the top of their profession, and the "Rebels", known for their free-spirited nature. In the early days of the game, both tribes forewent tribal strength in favor of personal loyalties. On the Titans, the "Middle-Aged Mafia" alliance of Caroline, Eden, Kitty, and Mark established dominance; while on the Rebels, Feras and Kirby aligned early, but gradually grew suspicious and distrustful of one another.

Following a tribe switch on Day 15, the Middle-Aged Mafia maintained their control on the new Rebels tribe, though at the cost of Mark's trust when they chose to blindside his ally Viola. Meanwhile with the new Titans, Valeria rose to power, finding herself the swing-vote between Feras and Kirby's feuding alliances. The two tribes merged into Tasi on Day 26, consisting of seven members from each original starting tribe.

The post-merge game was dominated by an unpredictable and fluid power structure. Though the original Rebels initially gained the upper-hand, the ever-evolving relationship between Feras and Kirby persevered, up until the final five, where Feras elected to play a Hidden Immunity Idol for himself in order to eliminate Kirby. Though Mark was able to go on an immunity run, he ultimately lost the Final Immunity Challenge to Feras, who chose to take Caroline to the Final Tribal Council with him.

Facing the jury, Caroline was criticized for her passive gameplay, while Feras was critiqued for his indecision surrounding his Hidden Immunity Idol plays. In the end, the jury valued Feras' honesty and risks more over Caroline's strategic control, giving him the title of Sole Survivor in a unanimous 9-0 vote.
