Every person who tapped out or left Alone Australia 2025

As the oldest participant ever on Alone Australia, Muzza wanted to show people that age was just a number.

Lucky with fishing during the experience, he did have to relocate his shelter after torrential rain and did have a gout flare-up in his leg.

As time went on, however, his physical state worsened.

After recovering from a dizzy spell, he said he “absolutely hit a wall” but stubbornly did not want to tap out.

Low blood pressure, abdominal pain, dizziness, and drastic weight loss became concerns for the medical team, and unfortunately, it all prompted them to extract him.

The news reduced Muzza to tears.

“It’s a hard pill to swallow, I can tell you,” he said, but he had no regrets.

“I haven’t bloody cried for a decade. This is truly the most amazing adventure I’ve ever done.

“I always knew it would be the doctor if I never tapped out. I hope my family understands, I’ve done my best out here, I really have.”

Going into Alone Australia, Corinne did not have any expectations.

Not your typical survivalist, during her time in Tasmania, she got creative. At one point, she even showcased her bush makeup skills with materials she found.

Like many, isolation did hit her and made her think more about her hyper-independence.

With much time to reflect, one thing she came to terms with was her desire to have a family.

As she counted the days, she was determined to reach 70 days, and after achieving that, she decided to tap out.

“I don’t need to prove anything more to myself,” she said. “I wanted to get to day 70, I’m so tempted to make it to day 71, just in case there’s anyone with the same plan as me, but so much is calling me back, stronger than I expected it to.”

Keen to go home, she was happy with her efforts.

“I’m so proud of myself for lasting this long,” she smiled before she left. “I feel like I’m leaving on a high, that this is my own decision at a time I want, and I’m not being forced to leave.”

Tom decided to tap out of Alone Australia after 47 intense days in Tasmania.

As time went on, he got weaker and lost a dramatic amount of weight, and was ready to reconnect with his family.

“I’ve pushed myself, I’ve had an amazing time,” he said upon his exit.

“I don’t think I can make it to 70 or 80 days, I’m ready to go home.”

While he was successful catching fish and creating a strong shelter, his health did eventually decline.

However, the experience helped him realise that he shouldn’t take his family for granted.

Although he did not win, he said he still felt like he was successful.

“I’ve done it, I’ve done it,” he cheered before he left.

Born without his right hand due to a condition called symbrachydactyly, he has adapted to life without prosthetics and mastered rock climbing, building, hunting, swimming, kayaking, horseback riding, and fishing.

When Ben went on Alone Australia, he was determined to be challenged and “tested”.

Unfortunately for the English teacher, the medical team advised him to leave the competition after 40 days, after extended hunger took a toll on his body.

As a former national football player, he said he was used to being strong, but he lost a significant amount of his body weight in the wilderness.

In a routine check-up, Ben said he hoped he was not leaving, but was ready to return to the real world.

“I am ready to go home and begin the next chapter and just embrace it with a smile on my face, and joy in my heart and God by my side,” he said.

Driven by faith and religion, Ben commented on parallels between his leaving in 40 days and Jesus ascending to heaven in the same amount of time.

Before she went on Alone Australia, Karla enjoyed living nomadically out of her four-wheel drive.

In Tasmania, however, she had an “epiphany” during those still moments and realised she was taking her loved ones for granted.

She said she struggled with wanting to be completely self-reliant and independent, but this came at a cost.

After grappling with loneliness and experiencing food poisoning from plants she foraged, she left the wilderness after 35 days.

“I’m so ready to go, I can’t wait to see my family, I can’t wait to see my friends, I can’t wait to eat,” she said before leaving the competition.

The expedition leader said the experience made her want to approach life differently and embrace those around her.

Yonke decided to leave Tasmania after 31 days, but not for the reasons you might think.

While she did struggle to catch protein, she decided to tap out because she felt she was not present, because she had to film her experience.

Before her departure, she said the need to document it all held her back “so much”.

“I don’t love my camera, I actually resent the cameras,” she explained.

The single mother of three said her lack of strength made it harder to lug around filming equipment, which also factored in her decision.

Overall, she said making a “documentary” was not what she signed up for.

Ceilidh was medically extracted on day 19 due to her declining health.

While she initially thought she was fine after reporting some pain, much to her disappointment, her time in the competition was cut short.

In her last check-up, she was told she had an infection and it was unsafe for her to stay in Tasmania.

During her time in the wilderness, she perfected her innovative fishing trap and showcased her foraging skills.

She also demonstrated what it was like to be completely alone without hearing what’s outside when she removed her cochlear implant.

Deaf since birth, she hoped to inspire the Deaf community and young kids, particularly girls, to immerse themselves in nature.

While disappointed her journey came to an end, she didn’t think it was a failure. “You don’t lose until you quit trying,” she said.

After 17 days, Eva made the tough choice to tap out of the competition due to hunger.

Unlucky with fishing and feeling like she had exhausted all her options to find food, she felt like she had no other option but to leave the wilderness and return home.

“I don’t feel regretful, I just think I can’t push past the hunger,” she explained about her decision.

Although she was disappointed to leave, Eva did say she “loved” the experience.

“I’m still proud of myself for coming and doing this,” she later shared with the cameras.

Matt was the first contestant to tap out of the competition after 16 days.

While he was able to build a solid shelter, it took him more than a week to catch his first protein (eel).

While he got into a groove, he faced the “internal battle” of loneliness and missing his family.

A proud Yanyuwa, Waanyi/Garawa man, he has a deep connection to his culture and the land, and honed his skills in crafting hunting gear during his time on the show.

While he said he was doing well physically and could go further, he missed his wife and two children, Remy who is three, and one-year-old Lani.

“I don’t want to be crying every day,” he said before he tapped out.

“I just hope my family is proud of me and they’re not too disappointed in the short amount of time that I’ve spent here.”
