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. With this, the team members are able to pump up members and get them motivated for the challenges that they are going to face. Another example of this happens when teams are deciding who to vote off and which alliances are being made. With Jon’s team, it is able to see that he is the main leader, which puts him in charge.

Since we are connecting this episode with motivation, it is clear to see that it can be either very easy to convince someone or very difficult; it all depends on the situation they are in and how it can benefit them personally. Later in the episode, we learn that Reed wants to be the leader; he was being very sneaky when he did not tell anyone about his idol reward. Towards the end of the episode, their alliances came in handy, and with that, Jeremy was voted off the island.
