Australian Survivor season 2

The second season of ''Australian Survivor'', also known as ''Australian Celebrity Survivor'' and ''Celebrity Survivor: Vanuatu'', is a television series based on the international reality competition franchise ''Survivor''. The season featured 12 Australian celebrity contestants competing on the Vanuatuan island of Éfaté over 25 days for a grand prize of A$100,000 for the winner's chosen charity. It was hosted by television personality and former record company executive Ian "Dicko" Dickson.

After 25 days on the island, surf lifesaving champion Guy Leech was named the "Sole Survivor" in a 3–2 jury vote over actor Justin Melvey. Guy donated his A$100,000 charity prize to Ride Aid Inc while the charities of the other players each received a donation of A$5,000.

The season aired on the Seven Network in 2006, the same year the network aired other celebrity-oriented reality programs including ''It Takes Two'' and ''Dancing with the Stars''. Although better received than the Nine Network's 2002 season, Seven's ''Celebrity Survivor'' series was still only a modest success in the ratings and was not renewed by the Seven Network. A third ''Australian Survivor'' was not produced until 10 years later when Network Ten picked up the rights to the franchise and produced a third season which aired in 2016. Provided by Wikipedia
