The longtime host of Australian Survivor, Jonathan LaPaglia, stunned fans on Sunday, by revealing he had been fired from his hosting duties after a decade at the helm.
"Australian Survivor has seen some of the most epic blindsides over the last 10 years, but this one might just be the craziest of them all… because it happened to me. I received a call from the network thanking me for all my hard work and dedication to the show but for next season they are ‘going in a different direction’."
LaPaglia shared that Channel 10's reasons for letting him go included declining ratings and a desire to "do something drastic to shake things up. None of that non-elim bulls--t tonight! Someone IS going home. And with no idol in my back pocket, that someone is me."
