the end of the road! :(

I liked watching this season of Survivor, especially because I never would have found the time to watch the season on my own. Prior to this year I never followed an entire season of Survivor, so I don't know if it was the best yet or not. I liked it though.
Watching this show I learned the people of all ages are allowed the shot at a million dollars, but similar to Darwin's theory of "survival of the fittest," the prize is likely to go to a person who excels at the various challenges. I also realized that EQ played a role in competing on Survivor, more so than book smarts. The contestants live a primitive lifestyle for 39 days and have to depend mainly on their bodily/kinesthetic, interpersonal and even intrapersonal intelligences.
This show is valuable to Psychology class because we applied our knowledge of psychology to describe the behaviors and personalities of the different contestants.
I liked the reunion show because it was nice to see everyone together again, and most of them forgave one another for events that occurred while they were on the show. It seems like many of them will be friends for a very long time.

  1. I also enjoyed that everyone tried to forgive each other. They tried to get over their differences and try to make friendships with each other. I also agree that there was life long friendships made throughout this season. I think that is pretty cool that there are some really good friendships created from this show.
