Over 15,000 Aussies applied for the third season of Survivor Australia, but only 24 lucky contestants made the cut.
(Although, being stranded on an island with little to no food, water or shelter isn’t a situation that should be described as ‘lucky’, if you ask us…)
Now, Channel 10 has revealed the names and faces of those who will be battling to ‘outwit, outlast and outplay’ each other while stranded in Samoa.
With careers ranging from radio host and charity worker, to model and firefighter, there’s bound to be more than a few personality clashes when this crew gets Gilligan’s Island-ed together.
(That’s a lot more than we can say for the latest batch of Bachelor contestants.)
So, without further ado, let us introduce you to the guys about to make a Wilson Volleyball their best friend:
Andrew, 29, Brisbane, Queensland, Marketing Executive
Barry, 44, Cairns, Queensland, Radio Host and Ex Rugby International
Bianca, 36, Melbourne, Victoria, Private Investigator
Brooke, 23, Melbourne, Victoria, Sales Executive
Conner, 23, Canberra, ACT, Law Student
Craig, 32, Brisbane, Queensland, Emergency Services Recruitment Officer
Des, 59, Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Courier Driver
El, 33, Brisbane, Queensland, Army Corporal and Charity Worker
Evan, 30, Melbourne, Victoria, High School Teacher

Sam, 28, Sydney NSW, Charity Co-Founder and CEO
Sue, 59, Perth, Western Australia, Personal Trainer and Retired Customs Officer
Tegan, 33, Sydney, NSW, Personal Trainer and Model.
Scouring the list, we can already see who we think will make the best Survivors.
Our picks?
Kylie, a firefighter who would be handy to have around in case a campfire gets out of control; Phoebe, a criminal lawyer who we’d love to have on side during the inevitable ‘who cleans the toilet’ arguments; and Flick, a personal assistant and bartender who could help us drown our sorrows liven up the party every now and again.
The first peek at the hot new series hot our screens last week, and it sure looks… steamy.

I stopped watching Surviviour years ago because the casting is boring. We don't see the true human dynamics like Bear Grylls The Island. Surviviour has token skinny women who are deemed lazy by the others, hunky men, young, old, alpha types, those that lay low. No much else. Glad there is another Australian season, did like the first one. Compare it the Bear's latest Island show and tell me which is more interesting.
