Episode 4

This episode begins with the twist that occurred in Coyopa’s elimination of John Rucker, who had been blindsided by the rest of his tribe. Although most of them were glad to be rid of him and his aggressive nature, Dale feels secluded as he thinks that he is to be the next target.

After John from Hunahpu earns his tribe another win, he is forced to send his girlfriend to Exile Island. Along with her, he decides to let Drew accompany her. In doing this, the pair work together and Drew quickly confesses on his idea to throw the next challenge in order to make his tribe vote someone out. He firmly believes that he is the leader of the group and is the one who has been ensuring their survival. His actions prior, however, contradicts what he says. For example, in the last episode, he is seen sleeping rather than helping the group repair their shelter. He is also noted for being cocky and simply showing off his strength to the group, rather than actually working with everyone else.

According to the Big Five Personality Traits, we can associate carelessness and disagreeableness to Drew. The tribe knows that he does not pull his own weight around, but Drew is under the impression that he does. This makes him very disagreeable to work with as his group members do not think he is a great team player. When he purposefully throws off the second challenge, he attempts to convince everyone to vote Kelley off. No one agrees with his idea as Kelley is actually a positive player for the group. Drew, however, continues to push his want of eliminating her.

Drew intentionally threw off a challenge to make his tribe eliminate one of their members. Although he believed he would be able to eliminate someone he saw as a threat, the episode ended in Drew, himself, being voted off.
