We all know the story.
Season 60 of SotF: TV is by far the largest, most disastrous mistake in the entirety of SotF history. If you don't know the history or weren't an avid watcher during this time period, I suggest you hit up the archives and get yourself a refresher course.
The short version? 29 survivors in a game of SotF due to a collar malfunction, an increase in anti-SotF rallies, and a massive disappointed fanbase because the show only lasted six days before the executives threw up their hands. In the midst of all of this was George King, who was a fan favourite at the time.
George was a sympathetic villain, because he'd go through this odd... pattern. He'd shoot before even opening his mouth, and when he had a victim, he'd suddenly start crying, attacked by self guilt and hatred. It was like watching a slinky go from step to step, where every even step is a brutal, efficient killer, and the odd ones are an emotional roller coaster.
I digress.
A year after the conclusion of SotF: Season 60, George is in an insane asylum called Blackpool. Details on him were scarce for a time (and honestly, 60 was a time most of us SotF fans would have sooner forgotten) but recently, an interview from Blackpool's official files was leaked online by some dude with a soundcloud and too much time on his hands.
Now, the Audio's a bit choppy, and it sounds like King is speaking through a cardboard tube despite the uploader's attempts at smoothing out the bootleg, but it's interesting no less.
