How can this season get any better? Seriously. After a season long series proving that the first ever Australian Survivor is a masterclass of entertainment, we are presented with this episode. Episode 12. The penultimate episode. An episode that features root rats. An episode that features young bucks. An episode that features toy boys. And an episode that features the weirdest sound effect you will ever hear. But it's an episode that you need to watch, and an episode you need to listen to. Because it's an episode that will stick with you, and an episode any fan of Australian Survivor needs to see and any fan of Australian Survivor Archives needs to listen to. So grab a chartreuse and a bear called Ben to get involved and make sure you don't miss one hell of a ride.

It's always great to be able to bring you an interview on ASA, but how about an interview with royalty? Well today you have that privilege as we sit down and chat with the true queen of Australian Survivor Jane Johnson! Just how does Jane feel about being anointed a queen? Why has she been waiting for this opportunity to chat and speak her mind about her time on the show for 18 years? Which player does she manage to do a near perfect impression of? And what is her beef with Craig? It's a fun and entertaining chat that we know you will come out of it feeling incredibly regal, so get to listening and get to worshipping!

If we could somehow convey music with these words, we would be conveying the theme from The Godfather right now, as we bring you the episode that solidifies the fact that the original 'Robfather' in the game of Survivor wasn't a certain man from Boston, but in fact a man from Melbourne who just happened to own the very first season of Australian Survivor. Robert Dickson is his name, and Robert Dickson is his reputation. Need we say more? You'll just have to listen to our recap of the 11th episode of season 1 to find out just what we're talking about. It's an episode you simply can't refuse.

It's been 18 years, but do you think Lance has finally worked out there was an alliance? It is a pretty difficult question, but today is the day where finally we discover if Lance has worked it out yet. Because let's be honest, he has had a bit of time to think about it right? Surely he has finally come up with something? You'll find that out in this episode as we sit down and chat with Lance about his time on Australian Survivor, which also brings us many more answers including just why Jane is Queen Jane, just why he got along so well with Joel, just why he has managed to stay in touch with so many people over the years and just why he is potentially the nicest guy you will ever meet. Just know that you'll also discover that there may have been alliances in this episode, but that Lance might not have known about them either. Perhaps we'll tell him in another 18 years...

Ladies and gentlemen! Presenting your new queen! JANE DALTON! Yes, it's only taken us ten episodes worth of season 1 to get to this point, but we are proud to declare that a new queen of Survivor has emerged and her name is Jane. Sure, last time we talked about her she sucked. Sure, the time before that she didn't suck. Sure, next week she might suck again. But this week she is queen! It's that simple! Why do you ask? Well you'll have to listen to find out! And when you agree with us, we'll expect you to do the right thing and bow down to her royal highness and enjoy the Janetent that we have produced for you. Her royal servants are waiting, so get to listening!

So far you've enjoyed hearing from nearly every single member of Kadina, so now it's time to finally get things a little blue as we chat to our first ever Tipara member from season 1 of Australian Survivor, Jeff Brown! In one entertaining interview, Jeff will make you want to use the word 'dickhead' more than you ever thought you would as well as introduce you to the world of 'baby shit yellow' in a new way of describing something that you will wish you knew about earlier. There is also plenty of sledging from the king of sledge himself in an episode that we know will make you want to sledge all those dickheads you know. So click away! You won't regret it!

It's time for you to strap yourself in for one hell of an interview, as today we bring you the interview you have been waiting for all season if you are a Kadina fan with the one and only chocolate loving young warrior himself, Craig Abbott. And it's no ordinary interview. Oh no. This is an interview that you'll want to be listening to in full. And by full we mean over three hours. Three hours of Craig goodness in which he doesn't hold back on his thoughts on everything from just why Kadina were so bad, right through to all his different mind games with the Tipara tribe after the merge. There is even enough time to fit in chocolate recipes, Logies stories and answering that pressing question which Naomi didn't answer in her interview. So get yourself comfortable, find that family block and put yourself in box as you get ready for an interview no Australian Survivor fan should miss!

When you hang out with your friends, what do you like to do with them? Maybe play a game? Hang out and chat? Go see a movie? Pretty standard right? Well have you ever thought about peeing on them? No? What if they were your best friend? The reason we ask is that this week we find out which player of Australian Survivor likes to do that. And while you're guessing just which person it may be, we guarantee you will be wrong. So how will you find out the answer? Well by listening to the episode of course! And not only will you find out that answer, you will also hear us recap a thoroughly entertaining 9th episode of the 1st season. So be a young warrior and tune in. Golden shower guaranteed!

It's time to find out why one person hates one bloody ship so bloody much as we are joined by the bloody amazing person that is Naomi Russell to find out everything there is to know about her time on Australian Survivor. Why does she hate bloody ships so much? What drew her into applying for the show and what drew her into wearing he beloved Carlton guernsey? Does she share the love for David that Matt does? Which person does she reveal was referred to as the 'thinking woman's crumpet' during filming? Does she love our good friends at Intel as much as we do? And will she prove Matt or Ben right when it comes to her relationship with Craig? You'll have a bloody good time by listening to this bloody good episode so get to bloody clicking and bloody downloading it!

Do you have friends? What about good friends? Well we bet they aren't as good as our good friends at Intel! They are great friends! They bring you back after a few weeks off to discuss another episode of Australian Survivor. They bring you some entertainment in the biggest breasts challenge. They even sit around and wait for Lance's big move. There's so much to like about our good friends at Intel! If you don't believe us, then perhaps you need to tune into our latest episode, as we recap the 8th episode of season 1 of Australian Survivor. Because trust us, if you had a good friend like our good friends at Intel, you wouldn't even need reminding to listen! So listen! And maybe you can make a good friend too!

Does it really matter if a human is dead or alive before you eat them? We're not too sure about that one, but this week we are sure that Caren definitely has an opinion on that. What is that opinion? Well you'll have to tune in to find out because we're at MERGE BABY and that brings with it a whole new level of excitement that we can't even wait to get to. So much excitement really that we might even tell you how to listen and threaten you with some Fa products or Lays chips if you don't. Not scared? Well you will be once we get Caren onto you...

You've heard us talk about him. You've heard us wonder about him. You've heard us try to understand him. Now it's time for you to hear from him as we bring the man, the myth, the legend that is Sylvan Dorney to your speakers. Just how much of the real Sylvan did we see during season 1? Why was he very nearly on Big Brother instead? What hidden TV career have we discovered he had before he was on Survivor? Which part of the show was edited to make him look worse than he actually was? And just how much of a fantasy world is he still living in today compared to 2002? You know you want to know all the answers to these questions and the only way you can find them out is by listening to this episode! So click away and get taken away into ASA fantasy world!

It's time to take a break from the recaps this week as we bring you a special interview with the man who composed the theme and score for season 1 of Australian Survivor, Jack Robin! Jack takes us through his unique methods in creating the theme and goes through what influences he had when he created it. He also gives us an insight into just how much influence he had from the iconic US theme by Russ Landau, as well as telling Ben why he is weird. How do we get to that so quickly in an episode about music? Well, that's why you'll have to listen to find out!

Just what does it take to be a nice person? Surely it means being nice yes? And you would think being a nanny would make you a nice person? As well as being a boyfriend of a person who should love you no matter what? If you're struggling to answer these questions and are wondering just what we are on about, then perhaps you need to listen to our episode this week as we try and find those answers and more in our recap of the sixth episode of season one of Australian Survivor. We would tell you more, but we also have a lot of food to eat at the airport. And that of course is very important too.

It's time to find out more about Timmy the dog and just what it is like to be in Sylvan's Fantasy World as we are joined by the amazing Deborah Peart to chat about her time on season 1 of Australian Survivor! We find out from Deb why she felt that coming from a television background would help her out in Whalers Way and whether or not it actually did help the way she thought it would. We also find out a little bit more about just how close she was with Sylvan, which tribe member she lived with for a while after the game as well as how good her singing voice is when it comes to singing THAT theme that we are all wanting to hear her sing. And if all that isn't enough, we also find out just what happened when two eras of Australian Survivor came together at the recent AACTA Awards. It's another chat that will have you learning, listening and most importantly, SINGING!

If you didn't already love Sciona then you will after this episode as we learn just what games she is willing to play and just why she isn't there to play Tiddlywinks in our latest episode recap. As we look closer at the fifth episode of season 1, we try and work out if it's a bad thing to watch 12 people starve and struggle for 42 minutes. We also discuss why it's great to see Craig positioning himself into the 'players ahead of their time' club, discover why Naomi supposedly hates everything and once again solidify why Katie is such a goddess. So strap yourself in and put your version of Tiddlywinks away, because like Sciona, we definitely didn't come here to play it.

You've heard us gush about him. You've heard us swoon over him. You've even heard us start a fan club for him. But now is the time to finally hear from him. That's right, it's time to hear from the one and only David Haas! David takes us through an incredible journey of his Survivor experience, right from the very beginning as to why he even applied and all the way through to today and why he very nearly didn't do this interview. You'll also hear some of the most incredible admissions you've ever heard in any interview that will make you think differently not only about season 1 of Australian Survivor, but the entire show itself. It's an interview you simply can't miss.

After a brief break we're back to bring you a special trip to another fantastic place in which Craig eats chocolate, Sylvan wins cars and Jane is shit. At least according to Jeff it seems. Although we're not too sure if the editors seemingly wanted everyone to believe that. But no matter what you believe, one thing is for certain and that is don't get near Craig if he hasn't eaten chocolate. Because you will probably be dead by the time you realise your mistake. So use this episode as an educational tool while you listen to it. You won't regret it.

Are you all ready to come to a magical place where you can do amazing things such as have pastries for breakfast or cereal for lunch? Where you can hang out with guys because that's cool and girls because that is cool too? If that sounds amazing then you're in for a treat with our episode this week as we take you to Sylvan's Fantasy World, a place we know you won't ever forget! Just make sure you get plenty of cold pizza to enjoy along the way as we're sure you'll need every slice....
