NOOO: A Season Fave Was Voted Out Of ‘Australian Survivor’ & Fans Are Spewin
Last night’s ep of Australian Survivor has shook viewers with series fave and previously expected winner ‘AK’ getting booted after an extraordinary tribe-swap twist.
Love him or hate him, we can all appreciate that AK was a great player of the game. From day one, he was cornered into the minority of his tribe and was heading to an early eviction. But he managed to turn his entire tribe from enemies to supporters, and even managed to channel his tribe’s aim towards his biggest competitor, Locky.
For such a strong player to be voted off so early in the game is a shock and fans are reeling. Last year series standouts Matt Tarrant and Nick Iadanza took to Twitter to say they were devastated by the shock eviction.
I'm fucking devastated. #SurvivorAU S2 for me is now cancelled. RIP A.K.

To make matters worse, AK was only voted off because of a twist which forced him to change tribes. As a result, he was left no option but to jump ship from a tribe where he had secured a leadership role, to one which already hated him. This was a result of his sworn enemy Tara rubbing his reputation through the mud and turning the gang against him. He was doomed.
The odds were clearly stacked against him, and many viewers were furious about the timing of the twist, which led to his early exit.
WE. WANT. JUSTICE.
Viewers on Twitter were spewin’ AK was voted off the island:

Now that AK has been voted out, I'm not convinced that Survivor Australia is still worth watching. #survivorau

After the 'twist' saving Tara and the tribe swap, AK's number was up. What a shame, he was great value #SurvivorAU #putoutyourchickenidols

AK crying in his goodbye message was the most accurate reaction for the #SurvivorAU superman community. Now excuse me, need to go sob.

AK I hope to see you on another season of Survivor soon. You've played the best game of the first 27 days out of anyone #SurvivorAU

AK went out and he played perfectly. Problem is in the game. Eliminate this random swaps. #SurvivorAU

Never forget.
It's hard to believe Ben is still in the game and AK isn't…#SurvivorAU
