Flick Palmateer is eliminated from Australian Survivor 2023

Felicity ‘Flick’ Palmateer was sent packing on Monday’s episode of Australian Survivor: Heroes V Villains.

The 29-year-old, from the Gold Coast, had her torch snuffed out by the tribe after turning on her former allies Shonee Bowtell and Liz Parnov.

Hungry for revenge, the pair joined forces to eliminate Flick.

Her exit came after Shonee and Liz saved her from being kicked out during the tribe swap.

After the heroes and villains merged back into a single unit, Flick had to decide whether to stick with his alliance with Shaun, Sam, and Nina, or turn against Shonee and Liz.

In a post-departure interview with 10playFlick admitted that he made a tactical error.

“Look, it’s very easy to sit here and say, ‘Oh, I shouldn’t have cheated on them, I should have stayed working with them and everything would have been fine, right?'” he said.

‘Hindsight is 20/20.’

Flick, who started the game with the Heroes tribute, said she was doomed either way, going on to explain that swapping tribes made alliances difficult.

“If I went back with my original alliance of Heroes, I would have pissed off Shonee, George, and Liz, which is what happened,” he said.

“But if I had gone with Shonee, George, and Liz, I would have pissed off my original heroes, so tribe swapping wasn’t kind to me.”

Flick’s mother, a Survivor veteran, was one of the featured contestants on the 2016 season of Australian Survivor.

She became a fan favorite on Australian Survivor: Brain vs Brawn, when her mother died during filming.

Only 11 castaways remain.
