Tina Wesson was named the Sole Survivor, defeating Colby Donaldson by a jury vote of 4–3 and winning a prize of US$1,000,000. Wesson became the first female winner of the series. The series was generally well received, with many outlets considering it one of the best Survivor series. The opening episode premiered after Super Bowl XXXV to 43.5 million viewers.

Overview

Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". Survivor is a reality television show created by Mark Burnett and Charlie Parsons and based on the Swedish show Expedition Robinson.[1] The series follows a number of participants who are isolated in a remote location, where they must provide food, fire, and shelter for themselves.[1] Every three days, one participant is removed from the series by majority vote, with challenges being held to give a reward (ranging from living and food-related prizes to a car) and immunity from being voted off the show.[2] The last remaining player is awarded a prize of $1,000,000.[2]

Filming of Survivor: The Australian Outback took place from October 23 through December 3, 2000, at Goshen Station, a cattle station on the bank of the Herbert River (approximately 3 hours southwest of Cairns) in northern Queensland.[3] The season premiered after Super Bowl XXXV on January 28, 2001, to 43.5 million viewers.[4]

The cast consisted of 16 contestants, who were initially separated into two tribes: Ogakor, named after the word for "crocodile" in the Kunjen language, and Kucha, named after the word for "kangaroo" in the Pakanha language. Midway through the season, the remaining ten players merged into a single "Barramundi" tribe, named after the river fish. The final seven eliminated contestants comprised the jury that decided who would be the winner.[2]

Season summary

File:CSIRO ScienceImage 4563 Herbert River view from the Abergowrie Bridge Abergowrie QLD.jpg
The season was filmed near the Herbert River in Queensland, Australia.

The sixteen contestants were divided into two tribes, Kucha and Ogakor, named after Aboriginal words for Kangaroo and Crocodile, respectively.

Although Ogakor fared significantly worse in challenges, the tribes remained even after Kucha member Michael suffered third-degree burns from a campfire and had to be medically evacuated.[15]

The tribes entered the merge with 5 members apiece, naming the merged tribe Barramundi after a fish native to Australia. The first vote after the merge saw a tie, but Kucha member Jeff was eliminated due to previous votes being cast against him. Ogakor's majority alliance of Colby, Keith, and Tina alternated between eliminating former Kucha members and betraying former tribe-mates Jerri and Amber.

The three stayed together until the end of the game, and Colby took Tina with him into the final Tribal Council. Tina's strategic plan was valued over Colby's prowess in challenges, and she was awarded the title of Sole Survivor by a jury vote of 4–3.

Reception

The series was well received by critics. In 2013, both Andrea Reiher of Zap2it and Joe Reid of The Wire ranked The Australian Outback as the third greatest season of the series.[16][17] Ken Tucker, writing for Entertainment Weekly, gave the series a B+ grade, praising the evolution of the strategy used, but was less receptive to the editing used on the series.[18] Since 2012, the Survivor site "Survivor Oz" has consistently ranked The Australian Outback highly in its annual polls ranking every season of the series; it was third in 2012, fourth in 2013 and 2015, and sixth in 2014.[19] In the official issue of CBS Watch commemorating the 15th anniversary of Survivor in 2015, The Australian Outback was voted by viewers as the fourth greatest season in the series.[20] In another poll for the same magazine, Michael Skupin's injury in the fire was voted as the ninth most memorable moment in the series.[21][22] In 2015, a poll by Rob Has a Podcast ranked Australia 10th out of 30, although host Rob Cesternino ranked the season 22nd.[23] This was updated in 2021 during Cesternino's podcast, Survivor All-Time Top 40 Rankings, ranking 20th out of 40.[24] In 2020, this season was also ranked 17th out of 40 by "The Purple Rock Podcast", citing the good cast.[25] Later in the year, Inside Survivor ranked this season 15th out of 40, praising the cast and iconic moments but acknowledging that the season declined after the merge of the two teams.[26] Conversely, Dalton Ross of Entertainment Weekly called this season overrated, ranking it 24th out of 40.[27] Host Jeff Probst ranked it as the 8th-best season, citing such memorable contestants as "Colby, the prototype for a Survivor 'hero'; Jerri, the original 'black widow'; and Elisabeth 'The View' Filarski," as well as Michael Skupin's injury.[28] In 2021, Kristen Kranz of Collider also ranked The Australian Outback as the 8th best season of the series and praised it for having "no shortage of great players" as well as its introduction to, "some truly interesting characters to the Survivor world."[29] In 2024, Nick Caruso of TVLine ranked this season 18th out of 47.[30]

Games

Vir2L Studios and its sister division, ZeniMax Productions (headed by former The Simpsons co-creator Sam Simon[31][32]) jointly created four online games featured on the website for the series.[33]

Controversy

During a reward trip, contestant Colby Donaldson broke an Australian law by breaking off coral from the Great Barrier Reef which could have resulted in a fine of Template:AUD110,000. The helicopter pilot involved in the reward trip also broke an Australian law as he flew over sea bird rookeries.[34] Producer Mark Burnett apologized on behalf of Donaldson and the production team after the season had aired.[35]
