Yes of course she was the best person for the job, since her application/audition was for a hosting position in a childrens program. Now after such a blatant lie, I’m sure the rest of the statement has just as much credibility. Just like the credibilty of her backstory.

What is it with that jacket that Bajo was wearing on tonight’s news episode?

Clearly they did not get “the best person for the job”.
Games are only rated to 15 so that already covers the 8-15 demographic by default, and the Australian Bureau Of Statistics states the average gamer is mid-30s.
Hex is nice, but no pedigree.
Leave Jeremy, swap “Hex” for Rei & you might be onto something.

Btw, google “Junglist” & “Hex”. 8P

I’m not sure if they go to this site (the good game team) as i wish them well in whatever format they have. However I have one wish for hex and bajo which is to slow down when speaking. When you have two fast speakers talking about a game the review lost my attention rather quickly as to what was being said.

Bajo’s reaction to it all is of most interest. So there was obviously some pressure to play and review games in one day. Which was no doubt managerial and which Bajo (not being as hardcore as Jung) probably agreed with. But that’s just nonsense.

You cannot play and review a game in one day.

That’d be like getting David and Margaret to review 30 movies a week.

They get to review 5 and spend time thinking and discussing it. Movies cost $12 and go for 1-2hours.

Modern Games cost $100 and can be anywhere from 8hrs to certain categories that technically require weeks.

And if the sacking was all about work ethic, why didn’t they just tell him that in the Interview or constructively work a solution. Perhaps it just came down to them wanting 1 day reviews and Jung not going along with it….. It’s strange that theyve taken 5years to come to that position though. No?

Somethings a miss at the ABC!

Poor effort ABC. Really poor, Jung was awesome. Bad idea to replace with a n00b.

So… Mr … er.. “Junglist” we have noticed your repeated inability to turn up to work on time has begun to impact upon the production flow of our show. This matter has now forced us to take an action which, as much as we know we will regret, has become entirely necessary. But before I go through with this may I just ask why the repeated lateness and why have you been unable to concentrate on the job?

“well… I stay up late playing video games”

Seriously though- I like this guy because he doesn’t come across like a plastic TV host. He is presents the way I feel a gamer should present. I don’t know if he acts like a pre-madonna all day or if all he did was pwn his boss at COD4- The ABC will no doubt defend this decision to their dying breath, and with decisions like this, lets hope that breath comes soon.
But in the mean time we can at least sit back and enjoy the show the ABC has made of themselves with all theses constant excuse changes.
RIP, good game guys.

ZOMGWTFBBQ! Seriousy? Because he made it difficult? Wow. You should be bloody grateful ABC! He’s no Naomi Campbell at least!

Grow some Balls ABC.

And if you wanted a show to capture a younger audience, why not have TWO shows?
This is stupid and ridiculous and utterly bewildering. I’m so angry at how the ABC have handled this. Especially the mistreatment of Jeremy ‘Junglist’ Ray.

What pathetic excuses. Worse than the reasons that OJ Simpson had put forward when he tried to steal some trophies.

Sounds like B.S. to me from “our” ABC.

I have to be honest and say the new host and dynamic of the duo dousnt work. I would rather see the other guy go because now its just a guy and a chick. No offense, i may seam that way too but its bad chemestry. A car game lacked a rev-head to review it. Its unballanced and bad producing. Not funny either. Bring back j

@ Andrew – Attack of the Show and Good Game are nothing like each other with the exception of a now M/F host setup.

Do you actually watch either show?

I give the handling of Junglist’s sacking by the ABC, One and a Half out of Ten Rubber Chickens….

I don’t know what to believe now. If he made life difficult for the staff, then maybe it was the right decision to fire him. But if they’re saying this just to try and quell the raging fans, then I’d prefer to have him back please. Stephanie is a cool chick but to be absolutely honest, you can tell she’s only a casual gamer who has never competed in any tournaments, and who wants to be an actor more than anything else.

Andrew, it’s actually in primetime on a Monday night if you realise there are more than just 5 channels in Australia. It’s also the most downloaded show on the ABC site as well.

If this was true then they would not have stated that they were moving him to a role behind the scenes.

Junglist was told otherwise in That meeting abd there is no reason not to believe him.
