0:00 Welcome back to the nullify Tech channel here on YouTube where I've got the TNT takes for you on Australian Survivor Heroes versus Villains that's right it's a bit of off-season content but the Australian Survivor Heroes versus villain season is pretty much just finished so I don't know if I can actually call it off season content but a bombshell of information has dropped on the so dramatic podcast they're claiming that a producer of Australian Survivor has come out to say that this latest season of Australian Survivor was rigged so I thought I would bring it up I wanted to get your thoughts and opinions on this because this is some bombshell information all right so on the so dramatic website which I believe they've got a website and a podcast so I've never actually listened to any of this stuff they said Australian Survivor Heroes versus Villains 2023 has been rocked by explosive claims that the season was rigged as revealed in episode 272 on the so dramatic podcast a Survivor producer who worked on the 2023 season spilled the literal beams claim that the show's outcome isn't as random as viewers may think produces deliberately rigged challenges and idle locations to help the right people win the producer dished for example if someone has hauled a sand back or something they will make the person they want to win hold a lighter sandbag it's quite interesting because in
1:20 This article they're going to firstly claim that George was helped and I remember the one where they had to hold weight above their head that was the one where I believe Stevie went up against Nina and the puzzle and they ended up losing that one or it could have been even the one where they ran around with a sand back around in the water around that obstacle course that went in and out where genre just him lost that one so I don't think they could have rigged those two ones at least and then when it comes to Idols George only found one Idol this whole season I guess there's Alliance people that find Idols Shawnee found a couple of Idols this season which was interesting that she became such a great Idol Hunter but again it wasn't him directly necessarily wanting it so let's continue to see what they say the producer also revealed that the show's voting process is also heavily manipulated they also tell certain contestants and interviews when they are being targeted to give them a heads up they claimed an adding that they also tip off contestants about the best time to play or not to play an idol that's something that I think a lot of fans have always been suspicious of like you know what do they tell what does producers tell players in those moments now I know in the US they can't do it because these certain rules that a game show has to fall under which means that there could be Mass legal action taken against the used production
2:40 Team I think under the like some sort of a gambling act or something like that where they have to make it fair I remember Jeff speaking about that before where I don't know if the Australian Survivor is sort of held to the same type of legislation you know in America they can sue you almost for anything I don't know if Australian Survivor is that heavily regulated they also tell certain conditions are being targeted give them a heads up as they claimed adding that they're also tip-off contestants about the best time to play or not to play their Idol they would also tell other contestants who had Idols don't play it you're safe knowing that they would not go home yikes that's some serious interference it would be it's a massive claim not only that but they're also alleged that producers reveal the location of hidden immunity idols to contestants they will hide idols on Pathways they know a contestant is about to walk along they said this is crazy to me that if this is an actual producer I want to know who this producer is I hope it comes to light because I feel like this person won't have a job after this after dropping information like this sounds like fan made fiction and what fans would do and say about Seasons this producer sounds like they're a fan not a producer of the show I mean you would imagine that even if this was true and there were interference on Australian Survivor there would be some sort of an NDA that they would have signed being on the show which
4:01 Would prohibit them from talking about anything that happened on the show so if this is an actual producer they're going to be definitely take taken to court after this because this type of information this type of Claim by the so dramatic people could have massive reputational costs to Australian Survivor as a brand and if people actually thought that it was rich if it was true that it was rigged I think Australian Survivor would lose a lot of popularity but then again I mean you look at things like the WWE people know that's right people know that's an act they still watch it for the drama and the show so I don't know maybe it doesn't hurt them as much but I think that if this is true if this was a producer that was on the show they're in some legal trouble for sure all right not only that but they're also alleged that producers reveal locations they will hide items on Pathways okay so I've read that it's villains was wrecked to keep George maldenov in until the end according to the producer George maldenov was the main contestant who had things rigged in his favor Survivor producers Rick George to get to the end by openly telling him where hidden immunity idols were placed they claimed well if that is the case why did he only get one Idol this whole game and in the end game we didn't even see Idols after Nina found that last one we didn't see a single Idol pop up after that so why did they not give him another Idol
5:21 In the game or yeah I don't know it falls flat for me on that when George is going to the wild The Producers would race ahead and place Idols there for him to find and then wait for him to arrive with the camera pointing at an idol again like he found one Idol so was there more Idols potentially that he found that we just didn't see as an audience like that doesn't make sense to me that also alleged that George winning the set for life cash reward challenge which saw him take home a whopping sixty thousand dollars was no coincidence I saw people online talk about that and they said are the sixty thousand dollars was George's appearance fee this season I don't know I mean listen they needed a big character to come back and play this season for sure if you didn't have Luke and David ganat on there as two of the biggest characters to ever play an Australian Survivor George probably would have been in that top tier bracket of players that they wanted to come back again he said she said at this stage what evidence is out there I'd like to see evidence Shawnee Fairfax was told by the show's producer not to play her Idol at one Tribal Council so that George didn't go home they told us she would be safe they said oh that's an interesting one because of their if they're alleging to the
6:41 The vote that Shawnee ended up going home maybe George was in trouble I can't remember who the other votes were on that specific episode but it'd be crazy like what is the chances of Shawnee and everybody playing this game staying quiet about it like I mean again there are probably people could say Well they're on an NDA they can't speak well what about this producer how is this producer coming out and saying all this information they would also be bound by the same ndas the non-disclosure agreements that they that they sign when they go out and do these shows so it sounds very interesting they also rig challenges to ensure that the other team lost so George would be safe and one challenge they waited down a card so the opposing team had to push a heavier load there was an early part of the Season where I do remember them winning that one where they had to I think the end of it was they had to build a fire to get to a bit of rope at the top and it was against the grain that they actually won that challenge after losing so many challenges but I don't know if George would have necessarily been in danger at that time because he was so heavily ingrained with Shawnee and the Spice Girls and strategically they just dominated Simon's faction in that first tribe absolutely wild Georgia's amazing
8:01 Television and an amazing player so we can really blame them it's not the first time the show has been rocked by similar claims interesting I might read into those similar claims a little bit later on earlier this season fans accused the producers of playing favorites after contestants Nina twine and Jerry Gulch were voted out of tribal council but seemingly thrown a Lifeline during an elimination well Jerry was never really voted out he had the second amount of second most votes so at a normal vote he wouldn't have gone home Nina obviously did get saved in that spot but I didn't really feel like Nina was ever being shown as a favorite of the season I didn't feel like she got a preferential treatment or that the show painted her in a picture where they wanted her to win it I mean the first half of the Season she was pretty much purpled and we didn't really get to see much of her so I don't know about that and also we do know I hate non-eliminations I always hate non-eliminations an Australian Survivor have you ever listened to this video you know what you're not doing yourselves any favors by having non-eliminations because people will always question well why did this person get saved at this point why like you know Jordy The Joker big character last season got saved by non-elimination Haley one of the favorites people say she's one of the best winners to ever play the game got saved by a non-elimination you know so people will always question that
9:22 When you've got non-eliminations that's why I like it to be clean cut and dry just vote someone out get them out of there the game's done you're torture snuff your time in the game is over anyways this is an interesting article I thought I would share with you what's your thoughts on this do you think there is any validity in the game being rigged or not reality TV this is no new news fast there's always questions about is the show fair is the show being rigged these questions have been asked about Survivor us for years there's people that have claimed that certain players were help to Idols certain players were helped to get to the end but I highly doubt that there's any validity or truth to this I would like to see who the producer is I'd like their name to come out because you can't hide behind I'm a producer of the show without actually being proven because a lot of what was said sounded to me like a fan coming up with these ideas but if that producer does exist and they do want to come on this channel to talk to me I'd be more than willing to have you because clearly you're not scared of non-disclosure agreements or anything like that so reach out to me you can email me by going to the about section of this Channel and you'll see my email on there and I would be happy to sit down and have a conversation because
