Decisions, decisions

On survivor this week many decisions were made, and re-thought.  At the end of the previous episode it seemed like Josh might be able to pull off his plan to get Jeremy voted off, but like I assumed there was just enough time to sway some important opinions.  This episode emphasizes the importance of decision making. I definitely noticed a difference in the decisions between the men and women. As the men seemed to think more logically and long term, the women were weighing their options based on emotions. When Josh makes his final attempt in hopes to persuade Baylor to vote on his side, Baylor is offended at Josh’s attempt to “blackmail” her and finalizes her decision to stand by her mom on Jermeys alliance. Then when Jon is sent to exile island Jaclyn learns that maybe her alliance doesn’t respect her like she thought they did. While Jon is away, the guys that were supposed to be winning over Jon and Jaclyn’s vote, were rude and ignored Jaclyn. Very frustrated by how her supposed to be alliance is treating her, Jaclyn tells Jon they may need to rethink their decision and that she is leaning more toward the “comfort” of Missy, Jeremy and Baylor’s alliance. Although Jon listened and heard Jaclyn out he assured her that they cant be choosing just based on who they like or dislike, which I agree isn’t the best strategy. As each alliance forms their consensus it isn’t completely clear who is going to be voted out, when a top target-Jeremy wins an immunity, it changes things once again.  Safe for this round Jeremy, is able to relax while the target is then switched to Baylor. Keith and others come to the decision that Baylor is lazy, and useless, and therefore not a necessary player on anyones team. Many questions are thought, and asked as everyone makes up their minds for the final vote. With one vote more than Baylor, majority rules Josh out of the competition, and leaves all those who remain a step closer to winning.
