Episode 4 Blog #3 Hot Mess
Now that John was eliminated in the last episode the game continues. Hanahpu found the flint after they had already replaced it with a second flint and they want the fishing gear because they are starving. Drew has an idea to exchange the second flint for the fishing gear and that is when substantive conflict occurs because everyone else thinks it is a dumb idea to ask Jeff Crossword. Everyone in the Hanahpu tribe knows that Jeff will say no except for Drew since Jeff had said no the last time they tried to exchange their reward. An example of affective conflict is when Jeremy and Keith in the Hanahpu tribe. They have differences in personalities and communication styles because Keith told the group that Jeremy had an idle when in reality Keith had it and when Jeremy found out he was disappointed because he felt that Keith should of asked him if he had the idle not the whole group. I think that Keith should of asked Jeremy if he really had an idle because Jeremy didn’t even have it and Keith ended up looking bad.
An example of Procedural conflicts is when it was Hanahpus’ turn to eliminate someone and a disagreement among the group members was made. The disagreement was when Keith told everyone that they should eliminate Jeremy for having an idle. Drew told the guys to eliminate Kelly because he felt that she was a competition while everyone disagreed.Jeremy wanted them to eliminate Keith for telling everyone that he had an idle when in reality he didn’t. The girls didn’t like the idea that Kelly should be eliminated so they wanted Drew to be eliminated. When Hanahpu showed up for elimination everyone showed constructive conflict because they didn’t know who to choose to eliminate and they all wanted someone different to leave the group. With everyone arguing over who should of left this caused destructive conflict. If drew would of not said that Kelly should of not been the target for elimination then he would of had a higher chance of staying. This episode was really intense and I liked it I just hope that the next episode is just as intense.
