RHAP covers international seasons of Survivor, particularly the Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa versions. For Australia, Rob Cesternino and Stephen Fishbach originally did the coverage, but that got passed off to former Australian Survivor contestant Nick Iadanza. Nick also originated the Survivor: New Zealand hosting duties, which were eventually taken over by Shannon Gaitz for season 2. Shannon and Mike Bloom co-host Survivor: South Africa coverage.
Description
International Survivor coverage began with the third season of Australian Survivor, which returned to airwaves after ten years. During the season, Rob and Stephen Fishbach did a weekly wrap-up show a la Survivor Know-it-Alls. However, the content was migrated after the premiere to Reality TV RHAP-Ups. The Know-it-Alls also occasionally brought in Australian Survivor fans to comment on the product and comparison between Australian and American culture.
After the season, Australian Survivor contestant Nick Iadanza was brought on as the permanent host for international coverage. Nick began his tenure during Survivor NZ: Nicaragua (changing the name of the show to "Survivor Know it Oz"), doing weekly shows with former Survivor contestants, recapping the week's two episodes. Beginning with Australian Survivor 2017, Nick also did exit interviews on behalf of RHAP with the contestant or contestants who were voted out that week. In 2018, Nick elected not to cover Survivor NZ: Thailand due to scheduling. In his place, Shannon Gaitz, frequent contributor to The Wand-Off and "intern" for Nick picked up coverage.
