In this Episode, It actually starts off with a recap of the last season but it relates directly to the chapter because in the last episode John was trying to be a leader for his tribe and tried to trick Jacqueline and John into thinking they had an alliance. It actually turned to bite him in the butt because Josh tried to vote out the designated leader, Jeremy, but instead he got voted off by the tribe.

In this episodes challenge the tribe divided into two teams and each team decided who went first. In my opinion I believe this symbolizes leadership as well because they have to strategize who will lead best in certain areas of the challenge. The first member from each team were the more skinny more balanced tribe members.After, followed the women leaders of each team. Next was the strongest tribe members from each team which is a good example of how the text book describes the power of power.

What I thought what was really powerful in this episode was how Natalie and Jeremy gave up their huge feast for winning the challenge because in their opinion they felt like they deserved it. I believe this demonstrates true leadership because they both showed what it was to care ultimately, and this will most likely motivate the members to not vote them out as fast. They are trying to gain leadership amongst as many tribe members as possible which is a very good strategy in my opinion.
