Survivor: A Second Look

The story continues to be as dramatic as can be considering we have a group of people on a island being followed around by a camera crew. We find out that for the first time someone has been kicked off the show, and it is one of the twin sisters. It is an interesting thing to watch the communication between the twins and it made me wonder of what will go on with the remaining twin through out the show.

We then watch another separation among the couples when John is sent to exile island and leaves his girlfriend behind.  This seems to be the most interesting theme in the show that with every person who is kicked off, their close partner remains. The comings and goings and the character development is just beginning so it is a bit much to keep track of, however i imagine as the people are voted off the island it will become easier.

The first need we see of the characters related to the book is the need for affection. It seems that the smart players are using this more than anyone. They give people false affection in order to play the game. We also see a need for control from the stronger personalities on the island. While this is beneficial up until now, i could see that when the Hanapu tribe loses a challenge (and they will), it could become a issue among the group.

We also get to see the different roles of the people in groups, some being very group oriented and the others being more self centered. While they all would like to take home the initial prize, i believe we are just beginning to see the strategy of all the different characters.
