We know the edit is manipulative to serve the storytelling, and I don’t mind that at all, they’re doing a good job overall this season. I thing George’s confessionals about Shiz are an example of that; a simplistic justification for his targeting Shonee. I don’t think George is impulsive about any of his plays. I don’t believe that he went for Shonee in a fit of jealousy, I think he knew all along that his alliance of three would need to be broken at the pointy end of the game, and that he was the third wheel, and perhaps his uncertainty was whether to do it in one day or another, but not whether to do it at all. Firstly I wondered if Liz might have been a better target, but of all the other players, Shonee is most definitely George’s only competition for playing a strong strategic game, and she did it with smiles and charm, something George can’t do. The problem with George is, that no matter how impeccable his game is this season, there are too many people on the jury who won’t put aside their prejudices. He doesn’t have a chance. I think he realises that and is just cracking the game open at this point, because it would be so boring if it was just picking off the OG Heroes one by one. If there’s one thing you can say about George, he has a genuine love of the game, and he’s playing with relish, unlike people like Hayley, who has been disappointing this season. That’s why I like Gerry for the win, because although he’s been cautious, he’s still been in the thick of it, not on the peripheries. And George is always the centre of the action, likes it that way, wears the target with pride, and somehow manages to dodge all the bullets…until the last one of course.
