HE tribe has spoken, and long-time Australian Survivor host Jonathan LaPaglia is reluctantly leaving the franchise. “I have loved and will dearly miss the immensely talented crew, all the crafty players and our loyal sassy audience,” LaPaglia posted on Instagram in announcing his departure. “I’m a huge fan of this incredible game, always have been, always will be.” But he’s not leaving without one last hurrah. “Don’t pull out your hankies just yet, l’ll still be at the helm for Australia v World… probably our best season EVER!” Yep, JLP’s swan song is set to be an absolute doozy, with some of the game’s most legendary Aussie players taking on a ‘World’ team of previous castaways from the US, Québec, South Africa, New Zealand and Finland. From fan favourites (Luke Toki, Kirby Bentley and the “Godmother” Janine Allis) and former winners (self-crowned “Golden God” David Genat, who is also rumoured to be La Paglia’s replacement) to the real game players (Sarah Tilleke) and ones we love to hate (“King” George Mladenov, Shonee Bowtell), the producers have assembled a top-notch bunch of contestants for LaPaglia’s farewell party. Who will outwit, outplay and outlast the best of the best? The Aussies should have a strategic advantage over the World team, with existing alliances, but several of these are in tatters after previous seasons, and there are some serious Survivor talents on the World tribe – including US icons Parvati Shallow, Tony Vlachos and Cirie Fields – so it’s no sure thing.
