Episode 2

In this episode of Survivor the blue and orange tribes are figuring out their individual roles.

The blue team has two main recognition seekers, Jon and Drew, that are causing tribe members to have negative feelings toward them. They possibly are doing this to fill their inclusion needs but its not helping. When Jon on the blue team lost the flint he accepted his mistake trying to fill his affection need because he was hoping by living up to it that they would appreciate him for that and respect him more.

During the challenge the orange team was losing and the team showed John amazing supportive feedback, but could’ve given constructive feedback as to how to overcome the challenge. They could’ve suggested bending his knees more or telling him to go under and then bring the ball after. After the blue team had one, they had to decide having flint or the fishing gear. It seemed as though all team members were showing good assertiveness and sharing their opinions.

The blue team helped Natalie after she found out Nadia was voted off by all stepping up and being supporters and encouragers. It showed great tribe communication and group maintenance. Natalie showed great self- confessor role by opening up and letting them support her.

During the big challenge, both groups showed great constructive and supportive feedback to their tribe members when competing. The only rough part of the challenge was when Missy was focused on her self-centered role of special interest pleader because she didn’t want to hurt her daughter again. The orange team loses another challenge and has to go to tribal council. Just like last episode there is a lot of hidden agendas and making big moves to try to make connections with other tribe members to not be voted out of the tribe. There was a little bit of aggressiveness shown by Val and Baylor at the tribal council, but Val ends up being voted out because the tribe did not believe her lie about having any life-saving items.
