The Winner Of ‘Australian Survivor’ Has Been Crowned & Viewers Are Divided
On tonight’s Australian Survivor finale the last three standing — Harry, Baden and Pia — faced off against each other. Pia was crowned sole survivor but some viewers are frustrated that Harry missed out on a spot in the top two.
Tonight’s immunity challenge saw the final three standing on pedestals (or as Baden put it “torture pegs”) while holding on to weights. It was absolutely brutal.
After over six hours, it was Harry who asked to get down first, then Pia, who was buckled over in pain, also conceded. Against all odds, Baden won his first individual immunity and at tribal council in a surprising move, Baden sent his longtime ally Harry home.
It’s actually pretty cool to think that the two people who were almost voted out at their first Tribal Councils
Are now sitting at the end together
I love that
It’s poetic#SurvivorAU

As Baden and Pia went into the final tribal council, both gave their pitches to the jury. In the end it was clear that Pia demonstrated that she played the more impressive game and gained all the votes from her peers — which is just a fucking huge accomplishment.
A comprehensive 9-0 victory for Pia 👏 #SurvivorAU pic.twitter.com/AYdMl8gHaR

Her pitch and how she handled questions from the jury was legit iconic.
Many were stoked that Pia won in the end:
Pia just fucking SCHOOLED Dave on Australian Survivor strategy!! Everything she said was 100% correct, SO much different to US Survivor 👏👏 #SurvivorAU

Pia deserves the win based on this savagery alone and if she were a dude you’d think so too #SurvivorAU

I just can’t stop thinking about Pia on the first episode (before almost getting voted out) saying “I always knew if I played this game I’d either go home first or win”.
She’s got this 💪🏼 #SurvivorAU pic.twitter.com/iP4hE2Fxk3

While others thought Harry should have made the top two instead of Baden:
We deserved a Luke vs Harry final and we got Pia vs Baden. How utterly disappointing and a waste of a fantastic season. #SurvivorAU

Somehow the best season of twists and turns ends with the two absolute vanilla players with no game whatsoever as the final two. So incredibly underwhelming #SurvivorAU

i really would've liked to have seen david vs harry or luke vs harry at the final. i would also say janine vs harry, but only if she wasn't a millionaire. #SurvivorAU

The TRUE winner. HARRY. Outwit. Outlast. Outplay. He embodies every quality of this great game we love. Without him, this series would be lesser. Bad-luck H#SurvivorAU pic.twitter.com/XTNVcpvkcd

Harry is the most deserving to win out of the final 3. He’s been honest, dishonest, brutal & sneaky, everything a Survivor should be #SurvivorAU

Someone start a go fund me now to buy Harry his ice cream truck #survivorau

Whether you agree with the chosen winner or not, there’s no denying it’s been an amazing season!
