Former Survivor contestant Shannon Gaitz, who hosts Talking Tribal on Ten, as well as a Survivor podcast, posted on X that the “Survivor community doesn’t agree on anything. The only thing we all seem to agree on is how much we love JLP. I’ll miss the iconic JLP laugh, the inappropriate jokes & much more. A titan of the global franchise. A staple of #SurvivorAU. A treat to watch for almost 10 years.”
Genat, a former model from Perth who is known in Survivor circles as the “Golden God”, first won Australian Survivor in 2019 and then again in 2020, when he appeared on the All Stars season. In March this year Genat also became one of the biggest prizewinners on TV, when he won $US5.8 million on the second season of US series Deal or No Deal Island.

“We look forward to JLP hosting the next epic instalment of Survivor: Australia V World coming soon to 10. We extend our sincere gratitude to JLP for his outstanding contribution over 10 years on Survivor. We wish him continued success in his acting and presenting career.
