Tommi Manninen Exit Interview | Survivor: Australia Vs The World | Episode 7 | Beyond Tribal
In this episode of Beyond Reality: Beyond Tribal, host Hayley Ferguson sits down with Tommy from Finland after his unforgettable exit from Australian Survivor: Australia vs The World.

✨ Taking his big swing at Survivor legend Parvati Shallow
✨ The chaos of a double tribal council and losing his necklace without giving it away
✨ Cultural differences between Finnish Survivor and Australian Survivor
✨ What it was like playing alongside icons like Tony Vlachos.
Plus, Tommy shares behind-the-scenes stories, including how he got the Survivor call during his wedding weekend, why he loved the scramble of Australian tribal councils, and the reality show he’d love to do next.
Beyond Reality host Hayley Ferguson has spent the past decade producing Australian Survivor, and now in this special series, she’s taking you Beyond Tribal. She’ll be chatting with players from Survivor: Australia vs The World as they leave the game - unpacking their strategy, their downfall, and their story beyond the vote.
