George and Pamela Mladenov

George and Pamela Mladenov

Brother and Sister

“King” George Mladenov is a lawyer, author, and political operative from Bankstown in Western Sydney, and is coming into The Amazing Race Australia with the reputation of being Australian Survivor’s greatest and most notorious villain. George is both loved and loathed for his shrewd negotiating style and strategic prowess, which saw him make two finales in Australian Survivor finishing second in Brains v Brawn, and fourth in Heroes v Villains.

George’s mindset has been moulded by three key things: a strong sense of community from his upbringing in Western Sydney; an innate ability to predict human behaviour after grinding out a living as a poker player; and a unique talent for getting his way through strategic influence learned from his career working in politics and government.

George’s first book, How To Win Friends And Manipulate People will be released this November. A humorous and motivational guidebook that teaches Survivor lovers how to emulate the cunning, dastardly qualities they love in their favourite reality TV villain.

George will be racing with his sister, Pamela Mladenov, of whom he is fiercely protective. George’s expert negotiation skills combined with Pam’s interpersonal skills means these siblings will be a charming force. However, their different personalities could see them butting heads.

Pam is a down to earth Bankstown hairdresser who owns her own salon. Hailing from a loving, traditional family with Greek heritage, Pam recently appeared on Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly alongside George.

Despite being eight years younger than George, the siblings would often get together to watch The Race, so understanding the mechanics of the game, will be a no-brainer, especially for super fan George.

Pam said audiences can expect tantrums, drama and meltdowns, but what’s going to bring them together is the fact that they’re bonded by blood.
