Australian Survivor is (almost) finally back on our screens with the new season being billed as 'Titans Vs Rebels'. For the first time in a while, we're copping an entirely fresh crop of castaways that we haven't seen on screen before.
But who will actually be on our screen? Thankfully, we're starting to get drip-fed who will be playing Australian Survivor this year, including a former AFLW coach, a queen who can deadlift 190 kilos, and a model in a blue fluffy coat.
Ahead, the details on every person competing on the next season of Australian Survivor: Titans Vs Rebels.

Sleuth The Instagrams Of The Whole Cast
Kirby Bentley, AFLW Coach
"Cheeky and full of pure Rebel nature, AFLW coach Kirby comes from a male-dominated world and does not let anyone tell her what to do."
This rebel is set to shake up the game thanks to her athletic prowess and ability to read the game.
"Being an AFLW coach, everything is about strategy," she says. "I observe and listen, I trust my instincts. My plan is not to tell them that I've ever played elite sport."
The Noongar woman says that she will be one to play both sides. "Everyone thinks I'm on their side. Always watch the quiet ones — they're dangerous."
She's giving Sarah Lacina energy and I'm honestly here for it.
Viola Jokudu, Powerlifter
A Titan by nature, Viola is a tough cookie both physically and mentally. A powerlift and strength and conditioning coach, Viola is a clear physical threat who will also use her charm to get ahead.
Also known as 'Queen V', Viola is a strong woman who puts the 'titan' in the Titans tribe.
"The term 'just a girl' is something I've heard my entire life," she says. "But I'm not an average girl."
"I can deadlift 190 kilos. I am fierce. I am a gladiator. I am a queen — address me as such."
It seems like Viola is planning on playing the charm game to win the Australian Survivor crown. "I will smile at you, I will flirt with you, I will charm you. I pack a real punch. You won't know til it hits you."

Uh, yes please! Queen V is now officially the queen of Survivor — and we couldn't be happier.
Jessica Danaher, Professional Academic
A senior lecturer, Jessica may have a resting bitch face but says she’s all smiles when you get to know her.
Peta Bennett, Bar Manager
Peta always felt like a Rebel growing up and believes that life would be bland if you didn’t have a bit of a rebellious streak in you.
Kelli Harris, Psychologist
As a psychologist, Kelli’s philosophy is “no bullshit”. Her entire working career has been preparing her for this game.
Frankie Guascoine, Salon Owner
Bondi hair salon owner, Frankie, is the epitome of a Titan – she works hard, she’s determined and knows what she needs to do to get to the end.
Kitty Blomfield, Business Owner
A self-confessed “bogan from the Gold Coast,” Kitty says that building her businesses has given her the resilience needed to win this game.
Rianna Bowley, Paramedic
An adrenaline junkie by trade and for fun, Rianna is a paramedic from Adelaide who knows how to handle pressure.
Sarah Moore, Firefighter
Never one to follow the pack, Sarah might be bubbly and sweet, but her exterior doesn’t show her tough interior.
Caroline Courtis, Midwife
No nonsense and organised, Caroline is a midwife from the North Coast of NSW who knows all about performing under pressure.
Valeria Sizova. Entertainment Business Owner
Self-sufficient, strong and proof not to judge a book by its cover, Valeria says she may look cute for day one but by day two, the sleeping bear inside of her will be ready to fight.

She's honestly giving queen energy in a bright blue fluffy coat (perfectly practical for the middle of Samoa, IMHO).
"Being a model, sometimes I play dumb," Valeria says in a promo. "They are thinking this dumb bimbo is definitely not gonna go for long."
"It works for me, because the sleeping bear inside of me is ready to fight," she says.
Valeria is set to join the Titans tribe, and I for one, hope she absolutely slays it in the jungle.
Aileen Chong, Waitress
As a superfan of the show, Aileen’s seen enough players make mistakes and knows not to do the same.

Feras Basal, HR Manager
A larrakin who is ready to spin the game on its head, Feras is from Western Sydney and ready to represent his Arab community.
Next up is Feras, who labels himself as a "smiling assassin".
"I can be mistaken for this dumb, big Western Sydney Arab and I want them to see that," Feras says. "I'm the complete opposite. I know I'm a genius."
Feras cites George Mladenov — one of the strongest Australian Survivor players yet — as his inspiration for the show. "George was the closest thing we had to an Arab being on TV — and we loved it!" he says. "I'm here to finish what he couldn't do."
Feras is set to join the Rebels tribe (naturally).
Jaden Laing, Strongman
A strongman, Jaden has pulled trucks at weights over 16 tonnes. With the build and the look of a classic Titan, Jaden is a unit in every sense of the word. But under that hulk exterior, is a big softie.

Scott Butler, Art Director
Scott is a Survivor super fan who won’t let people walk all over him in the game. As an Art Director at MONA Museum, he’s comfortable in the creative world, but thinks his fellow tribemates will be surprised to know he spends just as much time in the gym.
Tobias Grant, Construction Manager
A highly competitive and extreme sport obsessed builder from Byron Bay, Tobias says he’s a Rebel as he’s bent and broken rules his whole life.
Alex Coe, Maths Teacher
Alex is a teacher who wants to buck the system. A true Rebel at heart, he isn’t afraid of putting his body on the line.
Charles Noonan, Litigation Lawyer
A litigation lawyer, Charles says building networks to gather information to farm out to other tribemates will be his best asset to get an advantage over others.
Eden Porter, Cinema Area Manager
A pop culture Titan, Eden admits he might not look like a cliche Titan, but says being underestimated is not always a bad thing.
Nathan Freeman, AFL Agent
As a former AFL player, Nathan found his career was a bit of a roller coaster. Not one to let it get the best of him, Nathan found a new route as an AFL agent and feels his ability to adapt to the changes life throw at you will help him survive the game.
It seems like we've finally caught a glimpse at the token hottie this season — Nathan. And he seems to know it, too.

"I'm strong, fit, charming," he says in his promo. "I've got good looks and I'm not afraid to use that to get wherever I need to in the game."
The Titan, who confirms he is single (and ready to mingle), might just be the showmance we've been searching for these last couple of seasons. "If I have to flirt, dangle a carrot, I'll be playing up to that a little bit," he says.
On his gameplay, Nathan says, "there's been no one that could really compare to me."
"I'm pretty strong morally but that goes out the door playing Survivor."
Garrick, Loss Prevention Officer
He may be one of the eldest on the tribe, but catching shoplifters as a Loss Prevention Officer on the Gold Coast, and knowing how to sniff out a rat, is child’s play to Garrick.
He might be an Anthony Bourdain lookalike, but Garrick says that it's his job that trains him for his role as a Rebel in Australian Survivor.
"As someone who catches criminals for a living, I'm trained to smell a rat — and I've become pretty good at it," he says. "I walk around the shopping centres undercover catching thieves. I've caught doctors and aeronautical engineers."
"I'll be on them like a bloodhound."
Mark, Former Diplomat
Knowing what to say, when to say and how to say it is a key skill in the game of Survivor and there might not be anyone with more experience in that than Former Diplomat, Mark.
Winna, Competitive Eater

A TikToker with over 800,000 followers and a competitive eater, Winna has the charm and the skill to go all the way and a few tricks to make it more comfortable for him as well.
Raymond, Retail
A lover of nostalgic pop culture, a music connoisseur and a lover of movies, Raymond knows the Rebels are a group to bet on.
