Summary
- Survivor winner Jeremy Collins claimed Australian Survivor counts as "half a win"
- Parvati Shallow, a former Survivor winner, criticized Collins' comments as discrediting a woman
- Parvati outlasted other Survivor legends like Tony and Cirie in the Australian version
As of October 24th, 2025, a heated debate has erupted in the Survivor community over the legitimacy of Australian Survivor victories. The controversy was sparked when former Survivor winner Jeremy Collins claimed that his victory on Australian Survivor vs. the World should only count as "half a win."
Parvati Shallow, a legendary Survivor player who has won the U.S. version of the show, strongly disagreed with Collins' assessment. In an Instagram comment, the 43-year-old Parvati wrote, "A couple of straight men trying to discredit a woman... get a new move boys."
Parvati argued that the Australian version of Survivor, while different in format from the U.S. show, should still be considered a valid win. She pointed out that she outlasted other Survivor legends like Tony Vlachos and Cirie Fields in the Australian competition.
Parvati's defense of her Australian Survivor victory has been backed by other former players, who have jumped into the comments to support her stance. The debate highlights the ongoing tensions around how Survivor victories from different versions of the show should be viewed and evaluated.
Survivor continues to air new episodes on CBS on Wednesday nights, with the network also releasing "On Fire" episodes immediately after the main show.
