The Australian Survivor finale is on the way, with one contestant set to walk away with $500,000 -one of the bigger prizes in Reality TV.

The last week sees three episodes beginning with a blindside and culminating in a finale on Tuesday October 25, with the final three contenders in a six hour Immunity Challenge.

While TEN isn’t confirming its plans for the finale, Head of Light Entertainment Stephen Tate hinted to TV Tonight, that it had already been filmed.

What can we look forward to for the finale?

“Tempestuous best describes the finale. Both the location and outcome,” he said.

“All I can reveal is it’s a closed set.”

It suggests the finale was filmed in Samoa at the end of the shoot, but upcoming episodes still promise plenty of twists.

“A really smart and subtle game is about to unfold and Aussie mateship will play a much bigger part than even we could have predicted,” he said.

Producers have had to be nimble with the show to meet TEN’s scheduling, which beefed up episodes early on from 2 to 3 a week, but fans have responded enthusiastically to the season overall.

“Yes it’s been hard on the fantastic post team at Endemol Shine Australia, who at times only delivered a few hours ahead of broadcast. But they certainly continued to deliver a quality show under extreme pressure,” Tate continued.

“We are thrilled with the both the TV and digital viewing figures and also relieved we have lived up to the Survivor fan’s expectations.

“Both CBS in the US and Castaway in the UK have been really impressed with our production values and storytelling. Plus everyone absolutely loves Jonathan’s performance.

“We’ve also had some really high praise from some of the US cast on Twitter.”

And as for 2017, Tate is keeping cards close to his chest, but TEN’s Upfronts are due in early November.

“Too soon for hints I’m afraid, but we are very happy with the series performance so far,” he teased.

Australian Survivor continues 7:30pm Sunday and Monday on TEN.
