Survivor blog 1

While watching the first episode of survivor, I tried to really pay attention to how everyone worked with their new group and how they tried to work together. At first I had no idea that the couples who had come together were going to be split up into different tribes. When they were introducing the contestants, some couples seemed nervous about surviving on this island because they were unable to get the fire started or they were arguing with one another about how to start the fire the right way. On the other hand, some were confident that they will win this season of survivor. The first obstacle was really emotional for Jeremy (the firefighter) because he was forced to go against his wife, who was in the other tribe, and if he won the obstacle course, his wife would have to go to Exile Island. While they were competing, tribe members cheered each other on.

In the Goyopa Tribe, it was mostly young people except for Dale, who was Kelly’s father, he felt out of place. He said that it was a challenge for him because he is not used to being with a big group of strangers, so he was kind of excluded. During this episode, I kind of noticed that the Goyopa Tribe had its own “cliques”, not everyone liked eachother.

On another note, the Hunahpu Tribe, seemed like they all got a long pretty well. They were supportive of each other and all worked together as an actual team. There was a point when Jeremy talked to everyone to make sure things were ok and to make sure that people liked him as well.

At the end, the Goyopa Tribe had the most challenging experiences so far, because they had to kick someone off the tribe. They were sure it was going to be Dale because he was old and “useless” but they were shocked to see Nadiya go.
