By now, it is quite clear that the Huyopa tribe is dominated by two emergent leaders: Josh and Jeremy. Jeremy’s personal power has led his alliance to believe in his skills and knowledge whereas Josh has come up through the ranks with his charismatic power. That being said, I don’t think Josh appeared to be […]
Well, it finally happened; the remaining Survivor contestants have made it to the merge. The dueling tribes of Coyopa and Hunahpu are no more and, the newly formed mega tribe is known as #Huyopa. Loved ones have been reunited and, singles must fend for themselves. A wrong move now could mean a million dollar decision. […]
After reading Chapter 6, the concepts of verbal and nonverbal communication seemed to jump out at me in this episode. The dimensions of team talk were evident in a variety of situations but, more often than not, the dimension of identification was readily identifiable. In both tribes, members were heard using plural pronouns when talking […]
Initially, I struggled to see how Chapter 7 would relate to the episode entitled “Blood is Blood” but, after reviewing the text again, I realized that there are concepts that can be applied to the episode from the very beginning.

With the contents of Chapter 3: Group Membership still fresh on my mind, it was very interesting to watch Episode 2 and see how the tribe members are beginning to exhibit needs and take on roles within their tribes. However, it should be noted that this new perspective on the episode does not negate the […]
Like many other people taking this course, this will be my first time watching Survivor. I have only watched the first episode thus far but, I can already see why Jaimie chose to use this as the theme for the semester. I can already see how the chapter concepts come to life as I’m watching […]
