Survivor aims for second title

Craigieburn’s Jericho Malabonga is determined to prove he has what it takes to beat Australia’s top Survivor contestants.

Mr Malabonga was the winner of the second series of Survivor in 2017 and has signed on to take part in Australian Survivor: All Stars.

The flight attendant said he was excited about going up against fan favourites and some of the greatest game players in the new series.

“You are playing against the best players … I want to see how I stand up against all the great players I have watched,” he said.

“I want to see how far I can go and see if I can be the first person to win twice.”

Mr Malabonga said he knew that competing to become the sole survivor would be difficult the second time around.

“I’ve already won, so this is a second chance and added bonus,”he said.

“I still want to win. I definitely won’t let people walk over me to get to the final two.”

Mr Malabonga expects the toughest part of the all stars series will be competing against friends.

“People say the toughest part will be the starvation or the weather but for me, it is the actual people. I know it is about lying and deceit … it is difficult to know you are playing against these people who are your friends now,” he said.

Australian Survivor: All Stars on Network Ten on Monday, February 3
