What would I do?

If i was in today's auction I would of used my money to get food.  Since I would not have eaten in a while I would of used that in my advantage to get some food.  I would of just tried my best in the challenge to get both food and the immunity.  

I believe that a shower is really important in this game.  After you get a shower you will feel much more relaxed and it would give you the confidence you need.  You will feel much better about yourself and you will probably do much better in the up coming challenge.  Even though it is important I don't think I would of bet more than 150 dollars.

If I was in this situation I would of done the complete opposite.  I would of gotten the full pie and gave it to my tribe members.  They would of been really happy with me and I would of stayed for that week.  They would of gotten a nice slice of apple pie and would of really enjoyed it.  That was stupid of John to just get the one slice and eat it all by his self.  

I AM SO HAPPY THAT THE FOA FOA FOUR ARE STILL ALIVE!!!!! 

Galu is Going Down

Ever since the merge the Galu tribe has been doing really bad.  This is good for the Foa Foa tribe and Sham because now they have all the momentum and have a really good chance of knocking out the whole tribe.  If Foa Foa keeps doing good and affecting all of the other tribe members then someone from that team will win.  It is not that Galu is sticking together it is just that Foa Foa is doing a better job.  If nothing else changes then there is no doubt in mind that Foa Foa will take out everyone of Galu and they will take back this competition.  GOOD JOB FOA FOA!!!!

Two Strong Intelligences

The tribe member who I chose was Shambo. I believe that her first strongest is nature. Since she grew up on a farm she knows what to do when she is stranded on the Samoa island. She helped out her tribe a couple of weeks ago when she won the chickens. Then she would talk to the chickens and that would make them produce the eggs which they got to eat. Another strong intelligence that she has is logical. She just has the normal/logical smarts that helps her survive in the game. Without these smarts she would not be able to survive in the game since she is the older person in the game and she has a couple of tribe members who do not like her. The most important is nature. I think this because you need to know how to survive on the island and how to get food. Without having the nature smarts you will not do good in the game and will be sent home early.

I believe that the tribes will eventually break apart and there will be some from Foa Foa and some from Galu. I believe that the person who can help either team is Sham. If she helps Galu then they have an advantage, but if she helps Foa Foa then they will have the advantage.

The Merge

I was very disappointed, but then I was also very happy about the merge. I did not like the merge because I LOVED Foa Foa and I am very sad that there are no more teams. I wanted Foa Foa to stick together and just win challenge after challenge and knock out all of the Galu members expect Sham. I am happy with the merge because now it is not only Foa Foa going to tribal counsil it will be everyone. So know if you are a Foa Foa member you will have a less of a chance of getting voted off. This will hopefully help the members of the Foa Foa team since they do have some friends on the Galu tribe.

The game will change because it is all about yourself now. You will worry about what happens to you first and then you will help your tribe members. This will now show who is really loyal to their tribe and see who will help who. I belive that someone from Foa Foa will win this game!

Intelligence

In my own opinion I believe that you do need intelligence to compete and win the game of Survivor. I believe this because you can not just enter the game of Survivor and do whatever you want; if you do that then you will have no chance at winning. You will need to set up a good strategy and if you set up a good one then you have a very good chance of winning the one million dollars. You need smarts to compete and know what you are doing when you are competing in the challenges. I believe that the smartest person on this show or the person who uses their brain the best is Russell H. He knows exactly what he is doing and can trick any one into what he wants. He came into this show knowing what he wanted and how he was going to do it. He uses is intelligence very well in this game and that is why he has a good chance of winning the money. This just shows you how important it is to use your brain in this competition.

Free Write

Russell made me really mad in today's show because he sent Sham to Foa Foa AGAIN.  Sham does not do anything wrong for Galu and Russell treats her like crap.  She deserves a reward, but she does not get the chance to get a reward because he makes her go over to Foa Foa.  Sham even got the team chickens last week and she gets to celebrate that by not getting anything.  Russell needs to realize that Sham  deserves something, but he does not realize that.  I HATE HIM!!! 

True Colors

The person I chose was Liz.  The color I believe she would best be described as is gold.  I believe she is a gold because she is very smart and she always has a plan.  Whenever Foa Foa gets together she is the tribe member telling everyone what to do.  Whenever Foa Foa is doing bad she will get the tribe together and pull them through a tough situation.  Liz is definitely the strongest gold survivor and this could help her out in the long run.

I believe that is was very stupid of Sham to tell Erik the information about the idol.  Erik will use this information for his own good and will not help Sham.  This also gives someone else a chance to look for the idol so it gives Sham a lower chance of finding the the idol.  It was not a smart move by Sham.  

I am done with survivor since Ben is gone

The defense mechanism used in this season of Survivor is projection.  Russell Hantz shows projection when he talks about his other tribe members.  He says that they are so annoying and dumb, but he is really dumb and annoying.  He does not know what he is talking about and gets on my nerves.  Russell shows projection in many ways but this is just one way he shows it.

This episode made me really upset and angry because Ben did not deserve to go home.  He was just telling everyone what he thought and everyone took it the wrong way.  They need to realize that Ben is a strong member on their tribe and he deserves to be still there to help contribute to Foa Foa.  I was in denial that he lost, because he did not deserve to lose.  I am very angry!

A WIn for Ben

The survivor that showed the most id in today's episode was Ben.  He did somethings that you can tell he listened to his id and not his superego.  The first example was when Ben tripped Russell from the other team.  He was told not to do anything bad and he did.  He was kicked out of the challenge and made his team lose.  Another example that Ben showed was when he tackled Yasmin.  He should of never tripped her because she started a big fight with him and made a big scene.  He should of just sat back and just went after the guys.  The final example he showed was when he pointed a gun when he was talking about Betsy.  He made him look very shallow and he should of just wrote his vote.

I was happy about today's episode because Ben showed his team that they still need him because he is a strong young man that can still help his team, even though he still has an attitude.  Today was a win for Ben because he did not get voted off and he still on the show.  

Second Impressions

After seeing the first episode, my view on Ben did not change.  I am still happy that i picked Ben.  He is a tough competitor that knows how to win.  Even though he is cocky and a  jerk to other people he has the attitude to win.  I think without Ben the Foa Foa tribe could not win their first game.  

I think that we judge people so quickly because we are just use to it.  We don't know them so we just want to think of what they act like.

After watching today's episode I am so excited for Fridays.  I am so happy that we are watching Survivor in class.  I can not wait to see who wins even though I know it will be Ben.

First Impressions

The person i choose for the 20th season of Survivor is Ben. When I first heard the name Ben I was really mad because he seemed like a loser. I thought I was going to get stuck with this nerd who did not have any friends and was going to get kicked off the first week. Then I recieved his picture and background information and I was so happy. Ben seems like a very athlethic guy who knows how to win. He seems very competitive and always wants to win. In his information, Ben said that he loves to fish and hunt which is a good thing because he can catch a lot of food. I am very pleased with my pick of Ben, because he seems like he can go all the way and win the one million dollars.
