There’s something different about Survivor Australia‘s Kristie Bennett.
Maybe it’s that she doesn’t travel in packs, or always insists on having her hair in some sort of plait, or her cackling laugh, or that she’s endearingly ambiguous. Maybe it’s a combination of all these things and more.
But if you’re an avid fan of the Channel 10 reality show, you’ll agree — Kristie isn’t like the other contestants.
Since the beginning the 24-year-old, who hails from New South Wales, has been the outcast. While the ‘cool group’ was easily distinguishable from Day One, Kristie has spent an exorbitant amount of time alone, observing the popular kids from the periphery.
The season has been defined by Kristie successfully ducking and weaving her tribemates’ shiny arrows, which they’ve relentlessly aimed at the big red target on the back of her head.

Kristie the lone wolf, glad she won, authentic and true to herself, dark horse wins the race, love it, go girl!
No way....she is dumber than a rock. Not impressed with her game play at all. In fact i would go as far as to say she hasn't even really played... just skirted along....
Now who's dumber than a rock? Final 2! Brilliant strategist
I would say you better eat your words and don't judge a book by its cover
After last night's episode, I'm now not sure if Kristie was a genuine game player who simply let everything implode around her and snuck her way through, or was just never considered a genuine threat and got lucky. I agree with Matt's comment last night, that the Kristie we saw in the last week was totally different to the one we saw most of the show. Maybe she did only start playing in the last couple of weeks.
