In the event that he turns out to be bad in the head like some other unnamed cast members from this season, we absolutely reserve the right to rescind this take at any given moment. But until such time it absolutely needs to be said: George from the current season of Australian Survivor is, unquestionably, King of the Ratbags. A glorious spanner in the works. The season’s one true saviour. And, frankly, one of the most thoroughly likeable “villains” in Australian reality TV history. The Brains v Brawn modifier for this season of Australian Survivor (Nerds v Jocks, basically), theoretically makes things reasonably interesting, but in practice has put a fairly tedious inevitability on things. Brawn dominates challenges, unless there’s a puzzle involved, at which point they come horribly unstuck. The Australian outback setting has ramped up the physical difficulty on players who may have otherwise been mentally preparing for the sandy shores of Fiji, but the environment lacks the litany of deeply convenient hiding spots for idols. That’s lead to idol pursuits that end with a screamingly obvious brown package sitting in the crook of an open tree branch. Not much in that as far as intrigue goes.
