I would imagine that they were jelous. Which is yet another thing I would have liked to see on the show - all the social difficulties like jelousy (Merlin being Arthur's servant, Gwen becoming the Queen), fear of magic, a balance between acceptance of the rules of society but also anger about injustice. All in all the people's opinions. A little more insight would have been refreshing and grown-up.

It would have been odd and unrealistic if other servants and/or peasants really approved of a "nobody" like Merlin to suddenly become Arthur's manservant. Jelousy and suspicion would have been the most likely reactions.

Nevertheless, George was the only good thing in this episode. I really enjoyed watching him serving Arthur, not to mention the way he talked.
