“Surviving Survivor” with Caroline Courtis

Not Super. Woman

Australian Survivor, a long running incredibly loved TV Series.

Loved for its heart thumping challenges, unbelievable (and at times seemingly unbearable) living circumstances for its players, and the endless unfolding drama from alliances and the double crosses of those trying to win at tribal council.

In this season of Titan’s Vs Rebels, Caroline Courtis entered the game - A 55yr old woman, mum of 3 and midwife, who was finally in a place in her life where she was ready to do something truly for her and test herself in the ultimate way.

47 days stranded in Samoa with 24 contestants, split into two tribes - ‘Titans’, a tribe made up of career leaders, and ‘Rebels’ a tribe made up of the free spirited who forged new paths, were lead to compete, then ultimately merge for the win, as the two tribes dwindled after each tribal council and Caroline made it to the final 2 and the final Tribal Council.

The question begs - who would want to push themselves like this? And what were the driving factors in the life before Survivor that pushed them to do so? Caroline was in a place where she had every right to sit back a little and smell the roses, but she didn’t, she chose to put the very so often benched middle aged women on our TV screens in one of the worlds hardest TV challenge games and push herself to her limits. Although being questioned by a fellow tribe member for ‘what she actually brought to the game’, Caroline managed to show the world the years of raising a family, being at the forefront of thousands of births and in a dedicated career care role, brought a strength, tenacity and resilience that only a wife, mum and woman in her 50’s could.
