THE GREAT OUTDOORS: A short camping stint in the heart of Sydney’s CBD surrounded by thousands of people has triggered hopes of reality TV stardom for one Coogee man.
“We got to our location to set up camp at about 1pm today,” says Shaun Tanner.
“I’ve never been camping before, and to be honest it wasn’t easy.”
“Out here in the wilderness, the Wi-Fi signal is patchy at best.”
He and his friends still have another 10 hours of camping before the fireworks begin.
“It’s been pretty gruelling so far,” says the 29 year old. “I’m not even sure I’ll last the distance.”
“But the journey has taught me a lot about myself and I’ve decided I’m going to apply to go on Survivor.”
The popular TV show Survivor features a group of contestants marooned in an isolated location, where they must provide food, water, fire, and shelter for themselves.
“I just have to ask producers if I’ll be allowed to bring my Nespresso coffee machine,” he says.
“If they say it’s ok, I’m up for sure.”
