Heroes Vs. Villains

I think stereotyping and labels affect the way someone acts because it feels to them as if its an expectation they have to live up to and they will not be able to get rid of the label, so why try.
Boston Rob is a villain and said he tried doing the good thing and it go the best of him. He said he didn't want to be a dictator like before but he had to go back to being like he did in his season. I think because they called him a villain, he felt as if no matter what he had to act like one. Being labeled a Hero definitely puts pressure on them because they make alliances and then a better offer comes and they have to choose whether they should stay true to their alliance or become a Villain and break a alliance for another.

The hero tribe to me is failing the challenges because they can't seem to agree on a strategy for each challenge and they all try to be the hero at every challenge all at once. Like some of them said the smartest thing to do is to listen to the tribe member who went through the challenge ad won. Even if they didn't win, they should still listen because that person probably knows what they did wrong. The heroes really need to communicate better, use better strategies and they might have a chance of catching up with the villains score.

Second Impressions

The first episode changed my opinion of Courtney from when i read her biography. The first episode showed me that she is tough. Yet, i don't really think that she will go as far as i thought because when they were making camp and in the elimination challenge, i didn't think that she did much to contribute. Although in the first challenge, i think she did pretty good and showed she was strong, which the other people might think is an advantage for their team.

We judge people because sometimes we don't want to try and get to know a person. I don't believe that is the case in Survivor. I think that the survivors judge each other quickly because they don't have much time before elimination to really get to know the other survivors' strengths and weaknesses. Yet, watching the others on the episodes aired on TV could have helped some of them with their judgements.

The first episode of Survivor was pretty good, even though there were some injuries in the first challenge. I'm pretty sure I am going to like Survivor a lot. Also, Survivor is a great show to watch in psychology because it shows how you change in a different environment and without certain things with you. Later on in the show it will probably show the environment's effect on a person's mental state and how some can and cannot get through it.

First Impressions

My survivor contestant is Courtney. I think that Courtney is someone who might have advantages in Survivor. She says that she is tough both mentally and physically. She is good at gossiping which helped her in Survivor: China. She also loves history which might come in handy. I think she has a good chance of winning Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains.
