Group Motivation in Episode 9

Well, unfortunately for my favorite Survivor, Jeremy, his time was to come to an end in this episode due to a very well played blindside.  Ironic as it is, himself and his closest alliance member Natalie, depicted the most prominent group motivation in this episode.  Specifically motivating by group member needs, Jeremy and Natalie forfeit their winning of the reward challenge to the couple John and Jaclyn to acknowledge the wants and needs of their newly founded alliance members and let them know that they are thankful for their friendship.  Jeremy then nominates himself to go to Exile Island to try and find the hidden immunity idol for the group then quickly realizes his trip was a waste and that John had probably already found it.  John, after feeling the heat of lying to Jeremy about having the idol, tries to motivate other members of the tribe with his hidden immunity idol to vote off Jeremy for being the “biggest threat”.  A terrible move in my book, but definitely beneficial to John in any of the strength challenges.
