It's All Over

I really liked this season of survivor. I couldn't wait for Fridays because of it, and I was always tempted to watch it Thursday nights. And because we watched survivor, I plan on watching it in the Fall when it comes back on and for the seasons after that also. By watching this show I learned that it's not easy to be put on an isolated island with a group of people you don't really know. And it can really start to mess with your state of mind. I think that Survivor is worth watching in Psychology because a lot of the stuff that we learned about we related to the show and we wrote about it. So not only did it give us something to look forward to every friday, it gave us a chance to apply the things we learned in class to real life and how it effects people in real life. I thought that the reunion show was too short. I thought that Russell talked too much and there wasn't enough time to talk to everyone who should've talked. But over all I thought that it was a really good season and I'm sad that we don't have it to watch every friday anymore.

Finale!!!!

I thought that overall it was a good final tribal council. And I thought that it could've given Russell a chance to kind of redeem himself, but he didn't he try to do anything like that. He just stayed the same old mean Russell. But other than that I thought that it was good.
I thought that the questions were good, and most of them were stabs at Russell. Which he should've known that he wasn't going to win just by how the jury treated him.
I think that it's good that Sandra won the game. She really had to fight to be there especially when Russell wiped out her whole alliance. And thats when she proved that she is a survivor because she survived every tribal council without a solid alliance. But I also think that Parvati could've won too because she won so many challenges and she had to fight to be there also since everybody wanted her gone. But then again she had Russell the whole time and thats part of the reason why she lasted as long as she did. The jury didn't vote for Russell because he backstabbed so many people on the jury and no one really liked him, so thats why he didn't get any of the votes from the jury.
I really don't know if i would've voted for Parvati or Sandra. I probably would have to make a pros and cons list because they're both really good candidates for winning and they both had skills that the other one lacked. But in the end when I think about it I think that I would've voted for Parvati. I think she played the best overall game and she tried really hard in challenges since sometimes they were her only way of staying in the game.

Final Five

If I was on survivor, my loved one would be my sister Meghan. I think that the impact this has on the game is that they are more determined to do better because and win the game so you can get home to your loved one. I think that having their loved ones there helps them have more strength to finish the game.
I think that it doesn't really matter who Jerri picked because Russell forgave her anyway. But it could've made her alliance with him tighter. And I'm not sure who i would've chosen, probably the same people because I hate Russell.
I think that the final three will be Parvati, Russell and Jerri. And i think that Jerri will get the most votes from the jury because she doesn't really have anyone against her.

Only 6 are left!

I dont think that anyone is a hero or villian anymore. I think that everyone is doing whatever they can to save themselves. But, i do think that it is possible to win the game by being a hero. because at this point after seeing everything that has happened so far, i think that anything can happen.
I think that in the beginning of the game Russell and Parvati had a way better relationship than they have now. I think that by Russell getting Danielle voted off he messed up his relationship with Parvati and now shes definitely going to go against him and they will no longer be an alliance.

Moral Dilemma

I think that it is possible to form real friendships in this game, because i think that Danielle and Parvati have a pretty good friendship. And I think that if people do become real friends, it must be pretty hard to vote them off because you dont want to lose them as a friend and you probably want them to stay with you, but you have to do what's best for yourself.
I think that keeping promises is important because if you dont keep your promise you're betraying people, and then they'll want to vote you off. However, i think that at some point everyone breaks a promise. But you shouldn't make a promise if you dont count on keeping it.

Emotional Intelligence

I think that Parvati has a rather strong EQ. She has a strong self awareness, she knows how she feels. And she has a pretty strong mood management, she doesn't really care what other people think about her and she controls how she feels in different situations. I think she is strongest in self motivation. She always does her best at challenges and she thinks very highly of herself. For example, she is always calling herself "the queen" knowing that shes ahead of the game and that makes her even more motivated. And knowing that people don't like her also motivates her to do better in the game. She is strong in controlling her impulses, she does what she wants but only until she gets done what needs to be done. However, she doesn't have the strongest people skills. She doesn't get along with too many people, a lot of people dislike her.

Who would you be?

I think that if I was on survivor I would definitely be on the heroes tribe. I'm not really mean and I dont think that I would fit in too well with the villians, they're all too mean. And I think that I would play the game like Candace. I think that she's a genuine person and she knows what she's doing. And she doesn't really have any enemies.
