Many Australian Survivor fans were let down when two-time contestant Simon Mee was absent from the Survivor: Australia v The World cast. Speaking to Chattr, he revealed whether he’d been approached for the upcoming season.
Simon confirmed he wasn’t invited to join. However, with the impressive lineup — including All Stars winner David Genat and Shonee Bowtell, who holds the record for most days played — he understands why his name wasn’t on the list.
I have received a bunch of DMs from people disappointed that I wasn’t cast for the season, I wasn’t contacted for the season. I think it was just above my pay grade.
he told Chattr.
But I’m not upset I missed the cut. If it had have been a full cast of 24 with 12 Aussies I would have wished my name was in the mix, but when you step back and look at the quality of the cast for the cut down season, I don’t think anyone would be upset. The whole cast is epic, and I truly believe that the Aussies have put their very best tribe forward, and I can’t wait to see them all go head to head and show them why Australian Survivors can hold their own against the best in the world.
Simon told Chattr that he’s “definitely backing the Aussies home to take the crown” and believes Sarah Tileke, from Australian Survivor 2017, will be a standout this season.
“I’m really pumped to see Sarah play – I think she’s a real dark horse and can go the distance. I’ve waited a long time to see her play again.”
He also noted that this season will finally determine who’s the better player — George Mladenov or David — as both claim the title of best Australian Survivor contestant ever.
I can’t wait to see George go head-to-head with the King of the Jungle and the Golden God. We are finally going to see who is the true King / God of Australian Survivor. There’s a lot on the line here!
I’m so pumped to watch this season go down. It’s going to be fast-paced, brutal and a lot of fun. There’s a lot on the line and plenty of big characters with a lot to prove.
Survivor: Australia v The World premieres Sunday, August 17 on Channel 10 and 10Play.
