After only seven seasons, Shonee Bowtell becomes the first person to compete on Australian Survivor three times, as she joins the cast of the new season, Heroes vs. Villains. She previously competed on Champions vs. Contenders (2018) and All-Stars, coming in fourth and seventh, respectively. While there may be eleven other villains in her tribe, she may be the most beloved of them all.On Twitter, SurvivorAU announced that Shonee will compete on the Villains tribe for another chance at the half-million dollar prize. While they anointed her a "fan favorite," her initial edit on Australian Survivor: Champions vs. Contenders (2018) was less than optimal, as Shonee was resigned to quick confessionals and one-liners every few episodes. It took a social media campaign for producers to finally recognize her immense popularity before All-Stars, as evidenced by the now iconic "#Shontent" video, posted by Australian Survivor Edits. Even with limited screen time, Shonee has become a beloved villain through her self-confidence, snarky perception, and mischievous gameplay.Related: Why Survivor Host Jeff Probst Prefers 90-Minute Episodes

Shonee Bowtell Slays The Competition With A Quick Tongue And Cunning Gameplay

Australian Survivor Champions Vs. Contenders Shonee Bowtell

Shonee's snark was first seen when she teamed up with fellow Contender, Fenella McGowan, to become "Shonella." The contestants gossiped about their fellow tribe mates and voted them out one by one. Together, Shonee and Fenella were able to dethrone the majority alliance with the help of Brian Lake, and laugh their way to the final six. Shonee's game on Australian Survivor: All-Stars ramped up the mischief once her initial alliance was targeted. She vowed revenge on those who tried to vote her out, and was successful through devious deals and cunning gameplay. Shonee also poked fun at her fellow tribe mates by crying over a club sandwich and a pair of sunglasses, while others cried over letters from home.

Shonee's snark can easily be seen as charming, however, her playful demeanor and underdog edit can also be seen as heroic as opposed to villainous. Although she was constantly deemed the weakest on the tribe, Shonee has accumulated three individual immunity wins across her two seasons, proving that she can overcome great odds to succeed. While Shonee could have been put on the Heroes tribe for Australian Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, it will certainly be more fun to see her play up her villainous ways to fit in with the rest of the tribe.

While it may seem odd to have a three-time Australian Survivor competitor after only ten seasons, it simply feels right when it's Shonee Bowtell. Viewers will be hanging on her every word as they yearn for more "Shontent" week after week. While her placement as a villain may be tenuous, her status as an icon is undeniable.
