‘Cause the Players gonna play, play, play

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. This decision left Reed his partner furious and he decided to change the way he was going to play the game. His motivation towards winning Survivor had changed and he was playing to avenge it for his boyfriend. After going to the last tribal council it was evident now that everyone was playing the game of survivor with the main objective of winning no matter the costs. During the reward change the player had to go against each other and literally ‘shake it off’ until one side won. At the end of the challenge the yellow team won but Natalie again decide to switch places with Jon so he could enjoy the reward. Then in-turn, Jeremy did the same and traded so that Jaclyn could go with her boyfriend as well. Everyone was shocked that this trade happened and out of the blue but some were speculating why. Chapter 6 highlights, the four categories of motivation in a group as sense of meaningfulness, choice, competence and progress. Natalie exhibits all of these when she makes the choice to trade the reward up. Sense of meaningfulness because she is motivated to accomplish an alliance, and sense of choice because she had the power and ability to change things up with trading, sense of competence by providing feedback as to the hopes of getting alliance with Jon and Jaclyn groups because she felt the were so great. And lastly a sense of progress because she is helping develop here plan toward winning and celebrating how some did something for her in the past.
While on the yacht Reed sees that this is all a game, and Natalie is motivated by something to do that trade. Later on he exhibits sense of choice and meaningfulness by playing dirty and going through Keith bag to find the clue to an immunity idol and trying to turn others on his side. Jeremy goes to exile island and finds that someone in their tribe, who he speculates to be Jon has an hidden immunity idol so builds a stronger alliance to get him out. At this time every one on the Huyopa tribe is playing survival of the fittest and talking to each other on how they should vote constructively, demonstrating their sense of competence. Baylor wins the next challenge and helps her group brainstorm who to vote out the next tribal council. Jeremy now feels confident because he has given other players of the game useful information to build his alliance. At tribal council there was quick a deliberation on how people were playing the game, so I had no idea who they were gonna vote out. At the end of the day Jeremy doesn’t realize everyone is playing a game and voted him off Survivor. ‘Cause the Players gonna, play, play, play!
