Before I started blogging for the day, I realized that i had mixed up the blog assignments, and today was supposed to be the blog entry about group motivation… guess I just have to role with the punches!

Blog entry 9.

Throughout this past episode, it was clearly seen that group leadership motivation was taken place. For example, when teams are choosing who is going to go into a challenge, the team chooses the most experienced member.

During this episode of survivor it was their 24th day on the island, and the Huyopa Tribal council voting were running off of many people’s attitudes.

During this episode of Survivor the players on the show went through a series of events leading to a an unexpected ending. Throughout the episode the Huyopa tribe displayed all of the four categories of group motivation. After Day 21, the Huyopa tribe came back from tribal council having voted Josh out.

Survivor Episode 8

The last episode was kind of a cop out because the girl just up and quit so there was no real climax, just tension. The handsome couple are still vying for Jeremy’s neck despite his ignorance and that’s where we left off. I had some expectations that things would change, but nothing drastic so far. […]
