Australian Survivor has well and truly kicked off and an unexpected villain has quickly made himself known: male supermodel David.

Who would have guessed that a guy who rocked up to Survivor in a leather jacket would become such a threat? At first he appeared to be merely Luke’s clueless sidekick but in the latest episodes David went on to secretly trade an idol with a member of the Contenders team, Shaun. But all is not what it seems — the idol David gave Shaun was fake and made of random island scraps.

It was actually genius.

The worst part is that sweet seal pup Shaun thinks it’s legit. David has somehow pulled it off and the success is going straight to his head.

In last night’s episode, David ended up being stuck with Shaun after he was chosen to visit the Champions after they won the rewards challenge. This could have been David’s undoing but he somehow played it cool and Shaun was none the wiser.

Either way, with ET leaving last night it’s clear David is calling the shots.

Most viewers want to see David crash and burn:

While others could see the fun in David’s gameplay:

Whether you love or hate him, there’s no denying David has already made some of the biggest moves Australian Survivor has ever seen.

With the girls on the Champions side now well aware of David’s ego getting bigger by the day, I can see Pia, Abbey and Janine teaming up to blindside the guy in the coming episodes.

It was fun while it lasted.
