Episode 2

The second episode starts off with a short recap of last episode, which involves the introductions of each tribe member. Almost instantly tribe members tried to form alliances based on their strengths and weaknesses.

On one tribe, the girls all formed an alliance, and the boys formed a separate alliance. There was one tribe member by the name of Josh who was smart enough to form alliances with both sides , which could either help his agenda or hinder it. Josh told the guys that he was going to vote off Naydia , but also told the girls he was going to vote off one of the guys. In the end, Josh ended up voting for neither.

In the other tribe, John took on the role of a tribe leader, mainly because he is much stronger than the other members. He could also be seen as intimating to some because he has such a central position with most of the tribe , and everybody seems to like him.

Although each tribe member on each team has a common goal of winning, there are some personal issues than prevent them to attain these goals. For example, one of the challenges involving Baylor and her mother really tested how far they were willing to go in order to win. After the daughter got hurt from the challenge the mom seemed to be a little upset with herself, and her emotions got in the way of winning the challenge. This just shows how intense the game is with blood vs. water and how your membership influences every other member in the game.
