Well goddamn, that didn’t take long to start whipping ass. Australian Survivor returned for its 2022 season premiere last night, launching the much vaunted Blood v Water theme in the AU version for the first time. And so too came the long awaited return of me hooting on the couch like punctured bagpipe. That is to say: Shit got good real, real, real fast.
The Blood vs Water theme – run twice in the US and beloved as a concept – puts castaways into the game alongside a relative or loved one. Effectively, this means everyone enters the game in a pre-existing pair.
