A Sad Day for Mike

For starters, I did not really like this episode due to the fact Mike is out. I am upset that Mike was taken out by the doctor, but at least he was not voted out.
This episode was very crazy and full of anger...especially from Ben!
This episode also really showed how the id affects people.
For example, Ben did not care about the consequences when he knocked over the galo team his id told him just to do it! Ben also back talked Jeff! Lastly, Ben made several crude comments Yasmine not caring abut her feelings at all.
But overall I basically cannot wait for next Friday! Even though Mike is gone :( I am excited to see if Ben can control himself and Foa Foa can win!

Second Impressions

My survivor is Mike.  My opinion has changed a little bit about him.  At first I was unsure how he would be in the physical competition but he did okay.  I think his age will help him and his team make wiser decisions and if he keeps being friendly to his fellow Foa Foa teammates he will go far in the game.

After watching this first episode I am so excited for Fridays!  I think that the reason we judged the cast so quickly was due to their outward appearances.  The team captains looked at their team and had to choose the smartest, strongest etc. but they only knew the team for a short team and didn't even know their names so they picked them based on looks. 

I am excited to watch this in psychology because you can see the different behaviors of the teams and see how they interact in order to win.

First glance at Mike...

My contestant is Mike. He is 62 years old. I am undecided right now how far I think Mike will be able to make it. I think he will be sweet and kind to the other contestants and they will see not see him as too much of a threat. However, I am not sure he will be able to handle the physical competetion due to his age, and according to his bio he has lost alot of weight for the competetion but I'm not sure if that means he still has alot to go or he is in shape? But I will stick by Mike to win it all!
