Season 8

Brains v Brawn

Think you know the game of Survivor? Think again.

For the first time in Australian Survivor history, 24 of the strongest and most strategic minds the competition has ever seen, will go head-to-head in the Australian Outback, where they'll settle the age old question: Brains or Brawn?

Over 48 days in the vast, arid outback of Cloncurry in North West Queensland, 12 of the most intelligent individuals will take on 12 of the most physically elite as they attempt to Outwit, Outplay, and Outlast the competition to take home the title of Sole Survivor and a life-changing $500,000.

The Brains Tribe aren't just about smarts. They're creative, mentally strong, charismatic, and strategic. Think political operatives, authors and doctors who have used their mindpower to get them to the top of their fields.

Forget bulging muscles and protein shakes, The Brawn Tribe not only have the physical strength, they're hard workers with a drive and competitive edge that's taken them to the top. With MMA fighters, professional surfers and models, they're used to putting their bodies on the line and pushing themselves to the limit.

Both Tribes will take part in Reward Challenges, where they will compete for luxuries including food and camping essentials. In Immunity Challenges, they will play for Immunity, saving them from being voted out of the game at the next Tribal Council. At each Tribal Council, a Tribe must vote out one of their own to keep themselves in the running for the title of Sole Survivor.

The Masked Singer

Part guessing game and part singing show, The Masked Singer sees 12 famous faces compete to pull off the best performance, with their identity elaborately and imaginatively concealed, thanks to an expert team of talented costume designers. The stars will be transformed and they will take on a masked identity and become a fantastic character which will disguise them for the whole series. 

Forget any thoughts of fancy dress – they'll be full-on, original, movie-standard creations taking inspiration from worlds as varied as manga, superheroes, and wild animals and mythical creatures. Their transformations will be total, even their speaking voices will be disguised in interviews. 

It will be up to a superstar panel to lead the viewers at home in their quest to discover who they are. Although the stars aren't judged on their voices, they'll still need to give their best performance – the audience's least favourite will be eliminated, before the panel try to guess their identity and unmask them.
