In the ultimate test of the human spirit, 12 everyday Aussies take on 12 Australian champions over 50 days to see who can outwit, outplay and outlast to become the sole 'survivor'.

Only a few days on the island, and alliances are already starting to form. It's still a team game as the rewards challenge requires a huge effort from all in order to take home some fishing equipment.

After a loss at the Immunity Challenge, one tribe will contemplate a major betrayal in order to rid the game of one of its most powerful players.

Strategic gameplay is underway as one of the contestants finds an idol and needs to decide fast who can be trusted. Paranoia sets in at Tribal Council with confusion and panic taking over.

Paranoia starts to set in across both tribes with rumours of contestants having idols, but are they real or fake? At Tribal Council, the tribe are faced with some big questions around leadership.

A massive twist in the game sees things shaken up for both the Contenders and the Champions. Old alliances will be broken, and those who were at the top of the game find themselves on the bottom.

Who is controlling the game? Will their antics soon be uncovered? Will they fall victim to their own success? Or are they still calling the shots?

In camp, plans start to unravel, leading to an epic Tribal Council no one saw coming that leaves everyone shocked.

Tribe members have been given a wake up call, and it's clear to everyone that it's every man for himself in the game of Survivor.

One Tribe considers a huge move in order to keep an alliance strong. But will they go through with it? At Tribal Council, there is a dramatic exit.

With the first challenge involving heights and blindfolds and the second requiring all their strength, everyone is pushed to the edge - except one survivor who appears to be throwing the game.

Things get a bit panicked around the camps with all survivors feeling their necks on the line, but an unexpected setback at the challenge will turn the whole game on its head.

The first challenge consists of a series of temptations. What will the hungry survivors fall for? And one survivor makes sure that if they're going down, they're going down in flames.

We are well and truly down to an individual game now and this time around, the prize is a brand-new car. What lengths will the survivors go to get their hands on the keys?

The survivors enter one of the biggest Tribal Councils of the season as an unexpected move turns the game on its head.

An unlikely duo battle it out in an endurance challenge. All sorts of names are being thrown up for the Tribal Council vote, but the name that keeps coming up the most is one you won't expect.

The individual game gets desperate with several Survivors sneaking around camp searching for the idol that will save their game. Secrets aren't staying safe leading into a high-drama Tribal Council.

Storms roll over camp and dampen all moods. As we inch closer towards the pointy end of things, old alliances are starting to crack as everyone starts to fight hard for their place in the game.

When two of the biggest warriors in the game go head-to-head, a hard-fought battle ends in tears. It's a brutal Tribal Council where some hard truths are laid on the line.

The survivors dive into some of the heaviest gameplay of the season. Loyalties fly out the window and old alliances are broken as each survivor tries desperately to keep their place in the tribe.

No one is safe at this point in the game, leaving all contestants desperate to get their hands on the Immunity necklace to buy themselves another day in camp.

With the end in sight, every move the contestants make could be the difference between making the final three or being voted out of the game.

On the last day, the final two contestants head to their last Tribal Council where they have to convince the jury that they deserve the title of sole survivor.
