Australian Stranded: Partners in Iceland

Australian Stranded: Partners in Iceland (more commonly referred to as Australian Stranded: Iceland) was the third edition of the Australian Stranded franchise. It featured sixteen new castaways from the seasons of Survivor: Vanuatu - Islands of Fire, Survivor: Palau, Survivor: Guatemala - The Mayan Empire and Survivor: Panama - Exile Island.

The two tribes were split by gender, and this season introduced a "partners twist", a concept that allowed each contestant to have a partner they could communicate with on the other tribe. It was disclosed that the last partnership remaining in the game would earn themselves hidden immunity idols. Dolly Neely defeated Janu Tornell and Rafe Judkins in the final vote (6-1-0) to become the third female winner in Australian Stranded history.

Contestants

 * The Total Votes is the number of votes a castaway has received during Tribal Councils where the castaway is eligible to be voted out of the game. It does not include the votes received during the final Tribal Council.

Episode 1

 * Challenge (Puzzle): One member of each tribe would copy images that formed a 4x4 puzzle into their challenge thread. A second member of that tribe would then assort the puzzle pieces to create the season logo. A third member of the tribe would then post the finished puzzle back into the challenge thread.
 * Leaders: Shane (Maour), Dolly (Kona)

The castaways began their adventure in Iceland, where Jeff Probst welcomed them and announced that they would each be partenered with a member of the opposite tribe. At Kona, Ami took on the role of "Mama Bear", but it was a façade to win over the trust of her tribe. At Maour, Shane and Jamie battled for leadership of their tribe. During their hot springs chats, Aras and Dolly agreed to work together and share information, while Angie plotted to lie to her partner, Judd, "until [she] could trust him".

At the first challenge, the Kona tribe gained an early lead thanks to Katie's quick picture posting skills. However, Jamie made up a lot of time on the puzzle. In the end, Maour finished seconds before Kona, earning themselves immunity.

Before Tribal Council, Kona won over Ami's heart, causing her to want to work with her tribe, rather than create internal chaos. Katie plotted to keep around Stephanie, who had been inactive, and vote out someone more active over her; but at Tribal Council Katie changed her mind, and instead Stephenie became the first person voted out in a vote of 7-0.
