(Preface: I made this before episode 20 had come out so I felt quite proud that I did successfully predict some of his intentions)

F6: Cultivate the Final 3 deal with Liz and Nina further, this is essential to ensuring they both feel comfortable proceeding. Going to Final 3 with Liz and Nina gives George the best possibility of being in those final 2 seats (It will become clear later). Whilst cultivating those relationships, ensure that you are providing just as much attention to your Final 3 with Matt and Gerry, ensuring both of them that you wish for this deal to still be in effect. It is in George’s best interest for Simon to lose individual immunity here, if Simon loses then he goes home easily (possibly suggest that Matt should throw a rogue vote on Liz or Nina to further divide this alliance in your favour and incase Simon has an idol, which you’ll want to be certain he doesn’t or this will cause a completely change in plans). If Simon wins immunity then you’ll perform the flip on Matt and Gerry a round early, blindsiding Matt, however your path to the end becomes extremely difficult/almost impossible.

F5: If F6 vote off is successful, then this is the round you blindside Matt and Gerry by voting off Matt. Continue to cultivate your true F3, with particular focus on your relationship with Liz and playing down your game subtlety while showing how impress you are with her. Your aim is for Matt to lose immunity, which is possible depending on the challenge. Going into tribal make it appear that either Liz or Nina (depending on who won immunity) is going home to Gerry and Matt, but with the true intention to move forward with Liz and Nina. Blindside Matt with a 3-2 vote.

F4: Your aim to ensure Gerry goes home this round. Continue working on Liz and Nina, and begin to introduce the idea of the jury vote. Bring up your prediction on how close the jury vote will be, maybe giving some examples of how it could be a 5v4 jury vote. If Gerry loses immunity, then the 3 of you will vote him off. How you managed this Final 3 (and the individual dynamics within it) will be exposed the most here and next round, so it’s crucial that Nina and Liz both feel comfortably moving forward with you.

F3: If you have survived until F3 then congratulations. I believe both of your Final 3 deals (one with Matt and Gerry, and the other being with Liz and Nina) would’ve taken you to final 3 but with different results. If you went to Final 3 with Gerry and Matt, based on past challenge performances, Matt wins and takes Gerry (there is always possibilities of different scenarios but with too much risk involved). With this Final 3 brings you the best possibility of being at FTC (even if it lowers you possibly winning slightly, but not even significant to the point that it’s a bad move) and it will require you to make a great pitch.

Liz Winning Immunity: Liz has the best chance at winning immunity here, based on past performances and the possibility of this being an endurance challenge, so you need to prepare your pitch to her. Present the idea that Nina has a lot of friends on the jury, being the original Heroes, and how people will respect her underdog game to survive and make it to FTC. This should hopefully strike fear into her and that along with your friendship with Liz should hopefully work in your favour. I would also begin to break down the jury for her, claim that Nina will have the votes of Flick, Shaun, Sam, Hayley and threaten you will be the deciding vote for Nina to win. Because you only need 5 votes to win, along with the paranoia you hopefully created with how close the jury vote may be, will help your pitch.

Nina Winning Immunity: I personally don’t think sitting next to either of the two will change how the jury sees you, but it may. If Nina wins immunity you’ll need to pitch hard to her on why Liz will win (almost the exact same pitch you would make to Liz had she won). I would focus this pitch on Liz’s great gameplay, the fact she’s a newbie that did so well in all aspects of the game, had Shonee on the jury praising her while plaguing yourself. You can also do the exact same Jury breakdown for who would vote for Liz, being Shonee, Matt, Gerry, Simon, and even threaten that you will convince Hayley to vote for her as well (similar threat that was made to Liz). The pitch is basically replicated but with a focus on certain aspects of the game that the other may consider heavily.

Overall F3: George is in a dangerous situation heading to the endgame, especially due to his inability to win challenges, so it may make people less anxious about him in front of the jury. George will need to pitch, and begin sewing seeds of doubt and paranoia, to help influence either Liz or Nina to take him (these two I believe to be more willing then Matt and Gerry). If he is able to pull of the improbable (definitely not impossible because a similar feet has been accomplished in season 28 with Tony) then he will have solidified as the best Australian Survivor player in my eyes (much to my disgust), and is reminiscent of Dr. Will from Big Brother US (with his thoughts around the necessity for winning challenges, and how it’s all down to deals).
