Australian Survivor better with Celebs?
Clip · 8 June 2026 · 1 min
Summary
The hosts discuss JLP being let go from Australian Survivor. One assumes David offered to host for free after his Deal or No Deal Island windfall, but says there could be other reasons. He thought last season was well edited and hosted, and would take a celebrity or All Stars Australian Survivor over no show at all. The other host has been on the outer since JLP left, loved him as host, and would like him as an interim host for Survivor in place of Jeff, since he is about ten years younger.

For me personally, like I'm already I'm on the outer with Australian Survivor since JLP was let go.
1:00 Like, I really enjoyed JLP. I thought he was a great host. similar to Danica. I would even love for him to take over from Jeff as like an interim host for maybe 10 seasons or something like that. He's about 10 years young younger than Jail Jeff as well. So, he could probably do another 20 seasons.
