Wild snakes & adorable pups: The Survivor cast's Instagrams are wildly different

Their profiles will surprise you. - by Chanelle Mansour
  • 26 Jul 2021

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'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.
