Overview
- On October 25, Shallow posted an Instagram story saying, “Anytime @cbstv is ready to make a big move and have a powerful 2 time WOMAN winner host Survivor…”.
- The flap traces to the Oct. 22 On Fire episode where Collins said he considers Shallow “one and a half” wins and argued Australian Survivor is not the same as the U.S. game.
- Shallow previously replied on Instagram, calling the remarks “a couple of straight men trying to discredit a woman,” which drew widespread attention.
- Alumni including Kelley Wentworth and Eliza Orlins criticized Collins’ take, and Australian Survivor host Jonathan LaPaglia posted a supportive comment.
- Reports noted her Australia vs. the World win came in a 16‑day, 14‑player season for A$250,000, that she is the only person to win two national versions, and that Probst said Survivor 50 excluded Winners at War alumni because they had just been featured.
