As we watch the strongest and smartest battle it out in the outback on Australian Survivor, there’s a lot more to these castaways than meets the eye.
WATCH BELOW: Australian Survivor 2021 comes to outback Queensland
From MMA fighters and prison guards to doctors and authors, this season of Survivor has pulled together some of the most diverse castaways for its Brains V Brawn special.
And with so many different personalities on the show, it might be hard to keep up and figure out who’s got what it takes to win.
So, while we wait to see whether it’s brains or brawn who comes out on top, we’ve rounded up all the castaway’s Instagram accounts so you can see what they’re like when the cameras aren’t rolling.
Andrew Ucles – @andrewucles
Australian Wildlife and Survival Expert Andrew has no issues getting his hands dirty, or full, with things that are likely to bite back. And no, we don’t mean his fellow castaways.
Andrew’s Instagram is filled to the brim of him holding snakes, lizards, and even a donkey? Yep, his Instagram is a wild one to say the least.
But his experience with animals may just be his greatest asset in the outback, and especially when dealing with his tribe members.
Baden Cooke – @baden_cooke
While his Instagram account is currently on private, Baden’s bio has all the info we need.
“Tour de France Green Jersey Winner | Olympian | Baden Cooke Sports Management | Hamilton Cooke,” his bio reads.
With credentials like this, you may wondering, why isn’t he with the Brawn tribe? Well, Baden has some tricks up his sleeves, which will no doubt help him among the Brains.
Benny Burdo – @benny_burdo
Benny’s Instagram is full of snippets of his travels, family, and the odd shirtless pic or two.
From what we gather from his profile alone, this entrepreneur loves to spend time outdoors either hiking or building up his tan by the beach.
Cara Atchison – @duchessofdoublebay
This self-described ‘Duchess’ is all about inspirational quotes, spending quality time with her girlfriends, and indulging her impressive shoe collection.
Chelsea Hackett – @chelshackett
She’s equally fierce as she is beautiful, and Chelsea’s Instagram page is the perfect example as to why she’s on the Brawn tribe.
With her page filled with clips of her intense training and fights, Chelsea’s strength certainly shines through, but she also shares snaps of her all glammed up and ready for a date night with her boyfriend, showing another side to this fighter.
Daini Tuiqere – @iamdayknee
Daini often shares his work as a personal trainer and boxing coach to his Instagram, but it’s his adorable snaps with his dog that’s the real eye catcher.
“Happy international woman’s day to my number one girl ! Thank you for making my heart full and content ! I never new love till I saw you my baby girl,” he said of his adorable pup. How sweet!
Dani Beale – @dani_the_face_beale
She’s a corrections officer by day, but a loving dog mum by night.
Dani’s page is full of pics with her lovely partner and their adorable pup Bear, whom she calls her “little family”.

Flick Palmateer – @flickpalmateer
Surf is most certainly up with this chick, with the pro surfer’s page full of snaps of her out in action in the water.
Flick also shares her impressive artworks with her followers, showing just how talented she is.
Gavin Wanganeen – @gavinwanganeen4
He may be an AFL legend, but Gavin is a regular dad just like the rest, and will often share snaps of school drop offs and relatable parenting moments with his four kids.
“Saturday morning coffee with my little girls. Enjoy a few moments to yourself @pippawanganeen the best mum ever. Don’t get too comfortable we are about to come home,” he captioned a post.

Coming in new to Instagram with his first ever post about Survivor, when George isn’t posting about the show, he’s sharing sweet snaps of his dog Doug.

Psychologist Georgia uses her Instagram to post family snaps, motivational quotes and the odd psychology meme or two.

With terms like “axeman”, “axe grinder”, and “farmer” under his belt, and in his bio, Gerald often shares snaps from wood chopping events.
He also loves to capture the beauty of the outdoors, and will snap a quick pic of a stunning sunset or a beautiful rainbow.
“No filter needed for this beautiful country,” he said.

Her Instagram shows another side to this castaway, where she loves to travel and go for an adventure.

She’s also mastered the beach selfie, and will also share snaps of her fishing adventures.
Joey McCann – @running_it
Joey’s Instagram is dedicated to his passion for marathons, and we have to wonder why he joined the Brains and not the Brawn tribe, because he has some serious achievements under his belt.
“Stoked to join the 100 marathon club! I guarantee I’ll tick the next 100 off quicker than you can say “choose your energy”,” he penned.
Kerryn McGee – @kezmcgee
With Kerryn, or ‘Kez’ as she goes by, there’s no question as to why she’s on the Brawn tribe.

Another dog lover in our midst is marine scientist Laura, who’s page is dedicated to beach snaps, modelling shots, and animals of course.

0With his Instagram account on private and no bio to go off of, we’ll just have to learn what we can about Mitch during his time on Survivor.
Phil Ferguson – @chiliphilly
Taking the crown as the most vibrant and colourful Instagram account so far, Phil has certainly earned the title ‘crochet king’, with their page full of incredibly creative looks.

Surfing, workouts at the gym, and loving snaps with her wife, is what you can expect to see over at Rachel’s Instagram.
