Australian Survivor All Stars: David Genat Is Back For Revenge

The cunning model isn't here to make friends. - by Lauren Irvine

From tonight, Australians will be sitting on the edge of their seats as Australian Suvivor All Stars kicks off. Familiar faces, flashbacks and friendships – there’s no doubt this season of Australian Survivor will be the best – and biggest – one yet.

FIRST LOOK: Australian Survivor All Stars 2020

One contestant who caused quite the stir last year – and played extremely strategically – was model David Genat. “Last year, I made the biggest moves that Australian Suvivor has ever seen,” he says.

One contestant who caused quite the stir last year – and played extremely strategically – was model David Genat. “Last year, I made the biggest moves that Australian Suvivor has ever seen,” he says.

When LaPaglia asks David why he decided to return to Australian Suvivor after just appearing on the show last year, David simply replies: “Revenge.”

let he who hasnt made a weird video of themselves at 3 am jetlagged out of their mind throw the first stone... @survivorau #stoplookingatmeswan

But is his return to being a cast away going to put his health at risk for a second time? Last year, the chiselled hunk lost a staggering 11kg during his time on the show, even saying he looked “like a skeleton” by the end of filming.

“I was like a skeleton, man. I'm only just starting to feel normal again,” he told the Daily Telegraph.

David made a name for himself in 2019 as the series villain and the international model eventually confessed that from the beginning, his game plan had been to cause trouble.

Speaking to news.com.au, David revealed that he was absolutely playing a character – his tactic to lure the other contestants into thinking he was “just a pretty boy.”

“I’ve been acting for a number of years now, and I just really wanted to see if I could put all that stuff to the test and really use it as a way to play a role and do something,” he said.

@markherlaar really laying it on thick with this one, but what can i say. he speaks the truth. 🤷🏼‍♂️ feb 3rd @survivorau @locklangilbert @mat_rogers6 #survivorallstars #goldengod #uncut #creamrisestothetop

Whether or not the model and amateur actor will reveal his true colours, or continue playing a villian and over the top character is yet to be seen.

However, saying he's out for "revenge", has us pretty sure he's not joking!
