Survivor AU: Redemption Episode 20 Recap Australian Survivor: Redemption is in total chaos! Mike Bloom and Chappell are here to break it all down! In this today’s recap, alliances shatter and the vote gets wild, as the fallout from the infamous rock draw leads straight to the shocking blindside of “Candid Cameron.” It’s Easter, but the only hunt on the beach is for hidden logic and missing alliance trust.
