Fans attending the Australian Survivor finale today will be asked to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement to minimise leaks.
Filming of the Australian Survivor finale takes place tonight at the Overseas Passenger Terminal in Sydney.
The ‘sold out’ event marks a return to an audience finale / reunion. Filmed 4 days before broadcast, producers will ask all audience members to sign a standard Non-Disclosure Agreement to ensure the winner does not leak.
But with social media it may be ambitious.
Executive Producer Ciarin Flannery said, “Obviously people have to sign NDAs, as is normal in anything that’s pre recorded these days. But we work on the basis that everyone’s privileged to be there, part of something special. We’re not asking people to keep it under their hats for that long. It’s just a few days, and hopefully they can do that. But it’s a little bit of trust in asking people to be part of the journey.”
The Redemption season marks the fifth time, and the first since 2020, the show has announced its winner in front of an audience.
“I don’t think the winner leaked from any of those that I can remember. All of those were always done in the region of 48-72 hours before it went to air. Let’s hope people just can keep their lips sealed for just a tiny bit longer,” he said.
“We’ll be bribing them as well. We’ve got a whole load of gear to give away, like buffs and all the rest of it. So if they’re nice and we trust them, they can have all this free gear… that’s the contract that we’re signing with them!”
In broadcast terms there are 4 remaining players: Caleb, Jackson, Loz and Sally, yet the finale record has 2 players pitching to jury.
That has prompted producers to show the studio audience a summary of what unfolds in the interim.
“There’s some content that the audience won’t have seen yet, so we actually get people in, and we’re going to play them the key scenes. They’re going to see the final challenge and the penultimate tribal council,” he explained.
“We want them to really be engaged on the jeopardy of who’s going to win, and they need to understand what’s happened up to that point.
“We’ll show that to them in the studio, and then the contestants and David (Genat, host) will come out, and away we go.”
Australian Survivor screens Sunday, Monday and Tuesday on 10.
