FINALL FIVEE!

I cannot believe Survivor is over this Sunday I will honestly be lost!
Natalie says "that it's hard to separate the brain from the heart" that is a very difficult situation. I think strategically the brain should win. It will be in her best interest to keep Russel as her number one alliance. She has worked the whole game with Russel and I wouldn't cahnge that now. Personally if I were playing the game I would have chose brain over heart...however, my brain agree with Sham! Without foa foa sticking together they would never have gotten to the final 5! would have told me to get rid of Russel. Personally, Russel started backstabbing everyone and if I were Natalie I would have wanted Russel gone! But i honestly cannot say I could put my emotions aside.
And I totally

Moral Dilema

This episode made me so nervous for the foa foa 4! They need to still trust each other and not get nervous or over think things. I know this is easier said than done. Russel showed a lot of weakness in this episode. When he is not completely in control he freezes. Russel plays a good game probably the best but I still do not want to see him win. I wish his team would actually go against him in order to save themselves.
Things will become very interesting when foa foa begins voting each other off! I am so nervous I hope they make the right choices.
I do not think "real" friendships are made in this game, since the game does involve lying. But I do believe they can rely on one another to a point. Also I believe it will be very hard for the members who have worked so hard with each other to vote one another off.
Next, I also think keeping your promises are important it is wrong to break the promise. In, addition it will haunt you later and probably come back to bite you in the game which could cost you the million dollars. Also by breaking a promise with someone else you could lose everyone's trust in you.
This game is super intense now and I love every minute of it!!!

What Would I Do...?

Even though this challenge was different I really enjoyed it.

I know that buying something to get an advantage at the challenge would be more beneficial but...I would have wanted food. :) 

Also a shower is important.  Showers help you to feel refreshed and feeling refreshed in the game might have helped Natalie to do better in the challenges.  I would definitely have bided on a shower!  I probably would have done what Natalie did...PB and J and a nice shower! 

Oh John... he made a huge mistake that cost him the game.  Even though in my head I probably would not have wanted to share it makes you seem greedy.  And that late in the game I feel like helping my team and making them like me more is much more worth it than a piece of pie! 

But overall, this episode really did make me wonder what I would have done and I wonder if I would play the game smart or not?

Galu is Gone...

Galu made many mistakes when the teams merged.  Instead of staying alliances with their team like foa-foa they began blindsiding each other.  I feel like Russel also had a great impacts on Galu's mistakes.  He began fooling the tribe and they believed that they could actually trust him.  But to be honest I am very happy Galu is losing their members.  From the beginning they thought they wee the best of friends and such a strong tribe.  Maybe now they will realize if they do not get their act together none of the Galu members will make it to the end.  

Foa Foa Four!

I really enjoyed this episode! I thought what Jaison said about Russel was so funny and I completely agree! Even though Russel is a liar and back stabber to everyone, he is playing the game!  And honestly he is playing it the best! I personally do not want Russel to win but if he is not in the final 2 I will be shocked! 

Now that we are further into the game you can see the different skills of each of the tribe members, and how they all have different intelligences to help them succeed in the game.  The person I chose is Mich.  Mich is a very laid back person and that is why I love him! He is always there for his team and does not try to put the other players down.  One of Mich's strongest intelligence area's is intrapersonal.  He seems to get along with everyone and works best with his team.  Mich is also strong in the logic area.  He knows how to solve problems and he is always thinking ahead and trying to figure out what is next move is going to be but also what others are going to do.  I think the most important for Mich is his iintrapersonal skills.  Even though, forming relationships in this game is not always the best move I actually feel like it will and has helped Mich to go all the way to the end! 

 I love how foa foa four is taking over! With Sham on their side I feel like they will stick it out to the end together.  I think they will vote off all of Galu first and then get rid of Sham.

The Merge!

The merge was necessary, Foa Foa would been done without it! I am very excited about the merge the game is taking a complete spin now and I love it! Even though the contestents seem to still strongly rely on their former tribe t a Galu member was voted off and I am so excited! Foa Foa four may have a chance!!! I cannot wait to see who will be in the end and I hope things keep going the way they are now!

Intelligence

I believe that intelligence is a big part of survivor, if you are just playing the game without thinking or using strategies you won't go far at all. You need to use logic and not trust everyone in your tribe or the other. Survivor is a strong physically challenging game but the contestents also need to constantly be thinking about their next move. I am not a fan of Russel but he is honestly the best at this. He is very intelligent and plays mind games with all his tribe and Galu and comes out srong in the end.
For the challenge i most likely would have went for the survival items because I think they will benefit most in the l0ong run instead of just worrying about one day at a time.

Free Write : Russel Swan needs to GO!

Russel Swam made me so angry this episode...I want him gone! It was beyond unfair for him to send Shambo over to Foa Foa again, and then to make the comment about her losing the chicken! I was furious! Russel also was very degrading to his tribe today. I am not a fan of Dave but if he said he knew how to make the fire Russel should have let him. This epsiode was not the fun, the rain is making everyone depressed and they are losing focus on the game. I honestly do not know how I would act under these circumstances, I would be cranky and probably cause drift between my tribe. I hope the rain clears soon and the survivor game becomes intense again!

Liz is a GOLD!

This episode showed show many different personalities and I loved comparing it to the true colors we learned in class. The person who struck me as being mostly one color was Liz. Liz is by far a gold! She is extremely smart and organizes her game play. Unlike an orange personality who would just play without thinking. One epsiode where Liz showed her gold was when the Foa Foa team was putting together their puzzle. Instead of jumping into the puzzle she wanted to find the pattern. If her team would have listened maybe they would have won. Her gold personality sometimes causes conflict with her teammates, especially the team mates that don not think before they act. Russel stratagizes but in competetions he just plays, where Liz thinks and they tend to argue and blame each other for the loss. Until they can all work as a team Foa Foa will go nowhere.
I think Sham giving Erik her idol clue was useful in the fact that they may now form a trustuing alliance in the game, but at the same time it is a game and Erik may use this clue to his advantage and leave Sham in the dust.
