Episode: This is where we gain trust

Motivation was key in this episode. The idol reward challenge took Wes over the edge and he could’ve used the idol to stay in the game. Instead he wasn’t strong enough for the power of the reward. The host used reward power as a way to give out “resources valued by members” and for Wes it was very much valued. In a way because of that power that the host had he changed the game for the players who originally had their mind set on Jon to be sent home. If only they read Chapter 5 Wes could’ve seen it coming.
