In the wake of two unprecedented eliminations (we miss you Tarzan and Aimee!), Survivor’s AK Knight has become one of the biggest flippers in the show’s history. Sorry Flick.
Yep, Samatau tribe member AK easily went from lone wolf to the biggest threat on the show. He made a bold move eliminating Aimee from the competition.
Now alpha male and tribe leader Locky Gilbert has a target on his back. Watch out, matey!

But does AK have what it takes to win the game? Well, past players Lee Carseldine, Flick Eggington and Sam Webb don’t think that he stands a chance.
“I understand AK wants to be known as a ‘player’ in the game and someone who wants to make the big moves,” dishes Lee. “However the risk of doing this is that you can create trust issues whenever the majority alliance are looking to get rid of someone.”
However Flick thinks AK’s bold moves could help him. “I 100 per cent think that it will benefit his short term game because he’s now a king pin of one of the sub alliances,” she says. “But if a tribe swap happens he could be known as a flipper, which I am very familiar with. This could make it tough to form alliances in the new tribe.”

Uh-oh, it sounds like AK’s moves could put him in hot water.
“I think what he did was a good move but I think it leaves a target on his back,” dishes Sam. “AK is a survivor lifer (super fan), who knows the game, and sooner or later this is a threat and people won’t want him around.”
