I think George has treated Simon pretty badly,
Simon stuck to the deal George made to vote out Shaun.
George then decided the deal was null and void when he switched the vote to Shonee.
How can George justify that, and make it seem like Simon is at fault?
George is just a dick. Because he is (was) one of the top decision makers in the majority alliance he displays a dictator type mentality. Where he believes his word is final & that everyone is playing to thrust him into the final 2 so he can win. A lot of his decisions are based on emotion rather than good gameplay.
I even notice when he talks to Gerry he expresses how pissed off he was at Shonee for allying with Liz over him for the final. Now if I was Gerry I would take that as a major red flag that Geo was intent on taking Shonee & Liz to final 3 and not Gerry. But Gerry is almost blinded by stupidity or loyalty to Geo's cause??? I dunno, but if he said that to me - I'd be like, "Hmm Geo doesn't have me in the final 3 !!! Best I make plans to get him voted out".
But it just shows how Geo is so narcissistic that only his thoughts are worthy & that everyone else should tag along and do what he says & vote how he says.
I've noticed too when he does achieve a blindside that when the person is walking away from tribal down the path of shame, such as Stevie & Shonee - he will give them a big smile and tell them that they played a great game... These were some of his closest allies that he just burnt for no real benefit other than to satisfy his own misguided & misjudged paranoia. Yet he says goodbye to them like they have served there purpose - to get him closer to the final 2, he neglects to to explain or show emotion that he just evicted people he trusted, was in a pact with & that they trusted him.
And of course his confessionals spruiking how he is the king & he is the leader & he is the greatest blah, blah, blah...
It is a MASSIVE red flag that all the remaining tribe members need to acknowledge and be very aware that at any time Geo can & will turn on them for something insignificant or simply out of his own paranoia.. Simon should be well aware by now that Geo cannot be trusted. Geo tells Simon to vote a certain way & lies to him stating that X person is the target when in fact it is someone else. He has done this to Simon numerous times, yet Simon only takes from that scenario, that he wasn't voted out & sees it as OK. Not being voted out is OK, but being constantly manipulated with the vote should be a big concern for Simon.
