Australian Survivor: Heroes V Villains‘ ‘King’ George Mladenov has been crowned the ‘Greatest [player] of All Time’ after a stunning Tribal Council.
The February 12 episode was being hyped up as the greatest in the history of the decades-old global franchise and it didn’t disappoint.
The episode resulted in a bitter tribal council, with King George’s fellow villain Simon Mee shooting multiple barbs at him, before George expertly blindsided his enemies, leading to the eviction, out of nowhere, of Simon’s ally Fraser Lack.
After losing the challenge, and during the inevitable scramble, Jordie Hansen crossed the divide and revealed to Shonee Fairfax and George that Simon had an idol.
Australian Survivor: Heroes V Villains George makes the ultimate blindside again Simon
The trio decided to make a move to blindside Simon, while Simon still had his sights firmly set on getting George out once and for all.
The nail-biting Tribal Council saw George show off his ability to run rings around his tribemates, leaving Simon’s alliance destroyed and viewers singing his praises.
Geroge made the promise that he was “about to blow shit up”. And boy did he live up to that promise.
If you don’t think that was the greatest #survivorau tribal of all time, I don’t think we would get along.

That. Was. INCREDIBLE.

The way he was thinking so many steps ahead he’s now got:
– a loyal 4,
– left 2 players in the minority who literally cannot work together,
– and could have flushed Simon’s idol in the process as the cherry on top
All hail King George #SurvivorAU
🔥 pulled over Jordie from Simon

🔥 fractured all the Villain men
🔥 took out fodder while keeping the divisions in
🔥 won the vote with his 3 person minority
🔥 assured Stevie long term
❌ didn’t flush Simon’s idol
🔥 the idol isn’t real
A stellar night for George#SurvivorAU
That is the greatest play in any form of Survivor. David’s All Star pantomime removal of Daisy was masterfully executed but fuelled by pettiness. George just pulled together a My Left Foot-tier pasting that blows a fifty foot hole through the entire game. Staggering. #SurvivorAU

Wild to see GEORGE reduce SIMON from hero to zero within 1 tribal! #savage #SurvivorAU

George whipped out his hidden immunity idol and offered Simon an ultimatum: save Steve or see his ally voted out.
Call him King or call him the cockroach, but George had Simon against the ropes. Whipping out his hidden immunity idol, and swinging it around his head with reckless abandon, he then offered Simon an ultimatum: save Stevie Khouw, or see his ally be voted out.
Superb. Marvelous. Unbelievable. Ground-breaking. Unreal. Yet somehow real. Jaw-dropping. Truly unfathomable series of events. #SurvivorAU

I wholeheartedly believe that was the best tribal in franchise history.

What else is in the running?
– Parv double idol in HvV
– Ep 2 rock draw in @Survivor_SA
– Ciera forcing rocks in BvW

If you aren't satisfied with what is easily the best tribal in #SurvivorAU history then you my friend are the problem.

George is the best player in the history of @Survivor_AU and this is going down so far as the best season of #SurvivorAU and tonight's episode is close to the best episode of International Survivor. Bow down to the #SurvivorAU Gods.

But wait, the plot thickens even more… By this point, Simon was almost in tears, apologising to Steve for not being able to save him. However, when Jonathan LaPaglia read out the votes, George, Liz Parnov and Shonee had taken aim elsewhere, sending a shocked Fraser home instead.
The next episode is going to be interesting, that’s for sure!
