Will Australia accept a new Survivor host?

Australian Survivor: Redemption premieres tonight on Channel 10, with the biggest host shake up in the program’s history, as David “Golden God” Genat replaces Jonathan LaPaglia. 

David Genat swears that when he announced his retirement from Survivor after being booted early from last year’s Australia v World series, he hadn’t yet been given the show’s hosting role.

“It’s just a bit of reality show serendipity”, he says of his nicely timed exit.
