"It Was Uneventful": Mat Rogers Slams His Australian Survivor Teammates

We were all left shocked when Mat Rogers – also known as the ‘Godfather’ of Australian Survivor – was eliminated on last night’s episode after vowing to play a bigger and more strategic game this season.

However, his elimination was a bit too “anti-climactic” for Mat’s liking, claiming that he left in a rather uneventful and boring way.

“All of them had opportunities to work with me and flip the game and have a bit of fun but none of them wanted to,” he told Jonesy & Amanda.

“Watching it back, I was pretty disappointed with the way I went out.”

He added, “Lydia gave them the opportunity to blindside me in the last, two episodes ago, with an Idol. I had the numbers, wasn’t going to hurt anyone but it would’ve been a great play.

“Plus I would have got to come home with an Idol for a souvenir!”
