Shaun Hampson is a contestant from Australian Survivor: Champions v Contenders (2019) and Australian Survivor: Heroes v Villains.

One of the strongest contestants on Champions v Contenders, Shaun is best remembered for his bond with Daisy Richardson and rivalry with David Genat. After infamously swapping his real idol for David's fake idol, Shaun quickly came after David, and following his swap over to the Champions tribe, was able to slowly take power away from him. Come merge, Shaun's numerous attempts to take out David were thwarted, as the tribe quickly eliminated him for his physical threat status.

Shaun entered Heroes v Villains as the de facto leader of the Heroes tribe. Determined not to let his heroism get in the way of victory, he adopted a deceptive slant to his game, notably concealing his Hidden Immunity Idol from his allies for most of the season. Entering the merge with an apparent Heroes majority, Shaun's alliance was relegated to the bottom by George Mladenov's successful coup on the Fa'amolemole tribe. Despite seeing the majority Vigilantes alliance crack from above him, Shaun's time eventually came up on Day 37 when Hayley Leake switched her vote to save Simon Mee from the majority split vote.

Retired AFL Player, 31

A former AFL player who played 98 games over a 12-year career with Carlton and Richmond Football Clubs, Shaun doesn't feel like he ever really made it with his AFL career due to injuries that forced him into an early retirement.

Two games short of 100, Shaun was devastated to watch from the sideline as his team took out the 2017 premiership. But all his training and career goals have instilled in him the drive to take on Survivor, which has been a dream of his since he was 12.

"Besides the fact that I really didn't achieve anything great in football, I have a lot of determination and drive to still leave a mark. I love this show and this is my chance. I've loved it from when I first saw the first season. It's the perfect mix of physical, mental and strategic/social elements."

Now a dad of two and the owner of a Melbourne café, Shaun wants to use his sportsmanship and love of teamwork to play with integrity but as a fan of the show, also knows what it takes to win. Shaun says; "In real life, my relationships and my word are incredibly important to me but this is a game of deception. If you aren't prepared to be lied to or lie you shouldn't be here."[2]

The Horse is back. As one of the best challenge beasts Australian Survivor has seen, Shaun hopes his social game will take some of the attention away from his physical game.

After lasting 32 days in Australian Survivor: Champions v Contenders, he's come back with unfinished business saying, "Last time I was complacent and there's no room for complacency in this game whatsoever. You cant leave an Idol in your bag for 14 days without looking at it. I wanted to come back because I love the game and I really feel like I've got some unfinished business here."

A successful AFL player and now business owner, Shaun is leaving his family behind who he says are his biggest motivators and his proudest supporters in taking on this challenge again. While he admits he is doing this for selfish reasons, his ultimate goal is to win and make his family proud.

As a returning player, Shaun knows the types of moves a Villain will make and is not afraid to use some of those tricks himself. He says, "I'm really proud to be part of the Heroes tribe. I think Heroes at their core are good people. They want to help people, they want to see people get better and I love that in the outside world. But in the game of Survivor, it's a little different. Im happy to be called a Hero, but I'm not going to play like one."[3]
