Brains V Brawn II Full Cast & Premiere Date

The tribe has spoken: it’s almost time for another Survivor to kick off for our entertainment. So, to get you hyped up for the upcoming Survivor: Brains V Brawn II here’s the full cast list.

Survivor: Brains V Brawn can be best described as a competition where “mind and body” battle it out for 47 days. After rounds upon rounds of challenges, eliminations and plot twists, a sole castaway will cop a mighty AUD$500,000 prize and the title of “sole survivor”.

In 2021, the first version of Survivor: Brains V Brawn, Brain Tribe’s Hayley walked away with the prize and the highly-coveted title.

So, who’s gunning up for the prize and who’s on what team? Don’t fret because we have all the information you need down below!

The full Survivor: Brains V Brawn II 2025 Cast

As you might’ve noticed, the cast is split into two camps: Brains and Brawn. Looking at both teams, I think I’d just yell, “I’m a celebrity… get me out of here!” — Oh, wait. Different show, but you know what I mean!

Who is in the Brains Tribe for Survivor 2025?

AJ — Poker Champion

AJ is double trouble. He’s a Survivor superfan AND a poker champion, so you know he knows all the tricks, flips and dips of the game. AJ hopes to find glory with the help of his poker skills.

Ally — A.I. Expert

After dominating the male-oriented field of Artificial Intelligence, Ally hopes to conquer Survivor with her brains and her “true blue to the core” personality.

Indy — Business Development Manager

If we could describe Indy, I would say she’s this year’s Hannah Montana. In the daytime, Indy commits herself to her business development managing gig, but at night, she’s winning the crowd through stand-up comedy. Will she win Survivor with her brains mixed with her comedic stylings? We’ll have to wait and see.

Kaelan — PhD Student

While Kaelan gives very much sporty bloke in the physical sense, this castaway claims that people often underestimate his intellect. Let’s see if this plays out in the game of Survivor.

Karin — Doctor

While in real life Karin attends to broken bones as an orthopaedic surgeon, she hopes to be on the breaking side in this year’s Survivor. Now that’s hardcore.

Kent — Business Mogul

Similar to AJ, Kent is a superfan of Survivor. According to his official bio, the bloke has watched the show for 25 years and has truly studied the game. His eye is on the prize!

Laura — Witch

With the power of seeing people’s energies and reading their auras, Laura is ready to take on any challenge Survivor has set upon her. She’s also ready to cast a cheeky spell on her tribemates, and hopefully, she casts a love one on me ‘cos these Etsy witches are NOT helping.

Logan — AFL WAG

Logan wants to prove that she’s more than just a WAG and a mother. This mama bear wants to take on Survivor to show the world she’s more than that!

Max — Primary School Teacher

While the idea of waking up to a crab snogging his face on Survivor gives him the heebie-jeebies, Max is reading to take the game on (as well as the crabs) for a shot at glory.

Myles — Financial Analyst

Addicted to all things digits and statistics, Myles hopes to use his love of analytics to get him ahead of the game in this year’s Survivor.

Rich — Film Director

With previous experience working with big actors, Rich is ready to get things heated and isn’t afraid to stir the pot in this year’s game of Survivor, especially if it means he could win the whole darn thing!

Zara — Vice President of the PTA

Mother of three and owner of three degrees, supermum Zara hopes to use her experience as a Vice President of the PTA to gain glory in Survivor: Brains V Brawn.

Who is in the Brawn Tribe for Survivor 2025?

Ben — Stonemason

This yesman — a person who constantly says “yes” to everything — is ready to take on the adventure of a lifetime on Survivor. According to his bio, Ben has been waiting to play the game for 25 years!

Candy — Model

At eight years old, Candy loved Survivor so much that she had a birthday party based on their reality TV show with DIY challenges. While she’s on the Brawn Tribe, Candy wants to prove that she’s more than just that.

Jesse — Pro Skater

While Jesse yearns to be the personality hire for the Brawn Tribe, this pro skater has some big moves up his sleeve for when the time comes!

Kate — Dancer and DJ

Using her dazzle, sparkle and shine to distract the competition, Kate hopes she can dance her way to victory.

Kristin — Aviation Fire Fighter

With the pressures her job has placed upon her, Kristin is hoping to use her professional skills as well as her ability to relate to others to gain glory in Survivor.

Morgan — Olympic Sprinter

Dedicating her life to sport — racing since 2012 and becoming an Olympic finalist for the 4x400m relay and 800m events — Morgan is hoping to strike Survivor gold in this year’s comp!

Nash — Salesman

Nash is hoping to use his salesman skills — such as the undeniable charm and charisma — to get ahead in the game. Well specifically, he hopes to use “his smile is the key to disarming his tribe”. Spooky!

While Noona (or Noons or Laura, whatever tickles ya pickle!) is a footy fanatic, she’s also a keen Survivor watcher. And now, she finally gets to live out her obsession by competing in this year’s show!

Paulie — Paramedic

It’s no doubt that Paulie‘s job as a paramedic has put him through some high-pressure situations. So with that experience, Paulie hopes to channel those moments, as well as his ability to connect with people, to win the game.

The Brawn Tribe has its own Hannah Montanna! By day, he works for a brewery and by night, he’s a football coach. With his previous history of reppin’ Australia in football, PD hopes his experience working with teams will make him a key player in this year’s Survivor.

Ursula — Powerlifter

Being a complete gun in powerlifting, Ursula knows that her strength will be a key skill in the game of Survivor. This Brawn Tribe punter has been described as “fierce, strong, and extremely disciplined”. Definitely one to watch if you’re looking to win.
