It was looking like a golden move by George, but alas, Simon didn't bite & well, Georges plan backfired. George is quite a nasty person himself - he was setting Simon up for the ultimate blindside that being that George wanted Simon to use his idol to save Stevie when in fact George had orchestrated that it was Fraser who was going & if Simon saved Stevie then it would have been wasted as Fraser was always going with more votes. And Simon would have been devastated if he used his "idol" to save Stevie when in fact George knew it wasn't needed.
So we have George who is saying how dishonest, sneaky etc Simon is whilst in the same sentence he is spruiking how honest he is, when in fact George was lying to everyone except the girls.
I'm so happy Simon didn't use his "idol" and fall for George's plan, but we still don't know what it is Simon has, what power if any does it have? Shame we didn't find out.
I like how George is claiming to be the king & very loyal to his flock - I'm sure Jordie isn't feeling the loyalty from how George burnt him.
If George had have pulled it off & got Simon to flush his "thing" then it would have been an epic move, and as a political advocate he will talk himself up and claim it as a masterful victory... But it just falls short in my opinion, bad luck George - as you almost did it.
However, I was on the edge of my seat for quite a while. I was somewhat perplexed when tribal started as it was only 8.20pm & I'm thinking, hmm they must have cut the show down to 1 hour....
Then we get the Immunity challenge at tribal WTF
Then tribal goes off on one tangent after another & another AND another.....
I thought it was Stevie going until Fraser's name was read out the frist time & then it clicked.... Good try George, pity it didn't work... I think tomorrow there will be plenty of scrambling ....
And Gerry-atric ???? What was his thought processes??? Selective editing again me thinks....
I'm thinking George is the typical political germ.... Here we have George spruiking about what a great player he is, demanding Simon follow his command and USE HIS IDOL AT ONCE TO SAVE STEVIE... When if fact, Simon got to keep his idol thing & George had to burn his idol (burn it because he didn't need to use it) so George is the loser at this tribal as he is the only one that burnt an idol - but as a true politician, he will tell everyone what a great move he made...
