Georgia Love has issued a cheeky rant about the Logie Awards and volunteered to be next year's host after she attended the event on Sunday night.
The Bachelorette star, 37, shared a clip on social media in which she said this year's ceremony was such a high point in the Logies' history that it had nowhere else to go following host Robert Irwin's enthusiastic performance.
'Robert Irwin, you are 22 years old... You can't be THAT good! Leave some space for the rest of us... honestly! If I host next year, I'll make it right,' she joked.
She added that future ceremonies would struggle to compare, especially after Channel Ten star Sam Pang took home the Gold Logie for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television.
'Sam... do we need another Logies now he has won the Gold? I don't think so!' Georgia added.
Pang beat Allison Langdon, Julia Morris, Lisa Millar, Poh Ling Yeow and Todd Woodbridge for the top gong and appeared to be shocked when he won the award on Sunday night.

'Thank you very much. I don't know what to say. I have never received a standing ovation,' said Sam as he accepted his statue from Magda Szubanski, who made a surprise appearance as fictional character Sharon Strzelecki.
It marked the Kath & Kim star's first TV appearance since she completed chemotherapy in February for stage 4 mantle cell lymphoma, a rare and aggressive form of blood cancer.
Pang went on to praise Robert for his hosting abilities.
'What a wonderful job you've done,' he said, before pointing out the wildlife warrior's age. 'Twenty-two years. I've got neckties older than him.'
Pang then paid tribute to his nearest and dearest – and couldn't resist putting the boot in.
'I'm going to forget some names... if I do forget you, maybe have a think about how much you actually did,' he said to uproarious laughter.
He then thanked his family in Australia, and his 'secret one overseas', before delivering an earnest insight.
'I grew up watching television at the feet of my parents – they wouldn't let me on the couch – and I never thought I would be on it,' he continued.

Georgia added that future ceremonies would be a let-down, after awarding Channel Ten star Sam Pang the Gold Logie for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television
'It's a wonderful industry... and I'm very, very lucky and very, very grateful to be a part of it.'
Earlier in the evening, Pang and Tom Gleisner took to the stage to accept the Best Comedy Entertainment Program award for Have You Been Paying Attention?
In May, Pang revealed he was walking away from his Logies hosting role.
The affable presenter told The Age that his three-year tenure as host of TV's night of nights had come to an end.
'I've had three great years, and it was wonderful, but I'm just not going to do it this year,' he said.
The publication reported that he had been approached to host this year's awards, but he 'politely declined'.
'It was very amicable,' he said.
'I'm well aware I may never do it again, and whoever does it I'm sure will do a great job, but I just thought three was a nice number.'
