Junglist Axed from Good Game

I Just saw the latest episode of ABC 2's Good Game and was a bit surprised at the apparent axing of one the shows hosts, Junglist replaced by a female presenter going by the name of Hex. No mention of Who, what or why either,  just a dodgy Character Generation Stunt with Margaret Pomeranz ironically popping up as one of the potential hosts.

Bajo clearly looked uncomfortable throughout the episode in contrast to Hex who appeared relaxed in her first appearance.  Being an avid gamer myself I could relate to Jungalist as he really was the only real gamer on the show and the reason I gave my time to watch it.  What sets the ABC apart from its commercial brethren is the lack of commercialisation though these events reek of something you would see on 7, 9 or 10.

The ABC Press release:

ABC TV’s Good Game Levels UP with a New Presenter and an additional New Show!
Joining Bajo (Steven O’Donnell) in the Den of Gaming from Monday 26th October will be new Good Game host, Hex (Stephanie Bendixsen).
Born to non gaming parents who had a strict “no console” policy in the family home, Hex was forced to take up an outdoors hobby, bike riding.. straight around the corner to the neighbours and their Sega Megadrive.

The Good Game forums offers some insight from Junglist:

There won't be a "tell all" post, as no one is allowed to comment on the management decision-making process. Truth be told, most ppl on the team aren't fully in the loop. But I can assure you there was no chicken-harassing fiasco or anything of the sort, haha. At least not at the ABC... You are rightfully angry at what's happened and how it's been handled - from frivolous facebook fruit-hats to patronising publicity - but try not to direct that anger at Hex - all she's ever done is accept a cool job.

Hex responds with a message:

As I’m sure you can imagine it’s been pretty difficult for me to read everything that has transpired on these forums over the past few days – you guys can be… brutal, to say the least. I’ve been reading absolutely everything each and every one of you has written, so it hasn’t been an easy week for me.

The fans are also not happy!
