The vast majority of the cast are actually physically fit enough to want to, and make an impact in the challenges which usually are pretty physical. In the American version it's always the same people wanting to sit out consistently.
The episodes are significantly longer (90 minutes televised AUS vs 60 minutes televised US). I'm pretty sure I was able to break it down and noticed that there was 16-18 minutes post immunity challenge in USA vs 34-38 minutes post immunity challenge in AUS. It gives you a lot more time to watch the players strategize and come up with plans prior to tribal council which for me is the biggest difference between the two.
I would seriously recommend giving a past AUS season a try. I don't think you will be disappointed. I certainly was not as someone who just started watching AUS survivor the past 2 seasons.
