So... here I am, doing the same thing I do every Wednesday night, watching survivor. I've watched every episode of all 25 seasons, and over the years I've spent a lot of time thinking about what I would do if I were in their shoes.
What type of player would I be? Would I be the one that flies under the radar until the end then makes a big move for the win, like Sandra Diaz-Twine, the only player to win survivor two times. Or would I be one of the strong physical competitors that makes it to the end by winning the the individual immunity necklace? I also wonder how I would interact with the other competitors, would I try to go around and make alliances with everyone, or would I form a close-knit bond with one of the other players and make it to the end that way. Would I rebel against rules like Jack from The Lord of the Flies, or would I try to hold everyone together and keep civilized like Ralph? The perfect game for me would be to have a majority of around five players, but secretly be the closest with two of them. I'd make it to the end, and then bring the weaker one to the final tribal council, where I would then have to convince the people that I helped vote out to give me a million dollars.
Perhaps, the one result that I haven't mentioned is the most likely to occur. This dreaded result is that I lose. There is an infinite amount of reasons for why I might get voted out. I could be viewed as a threat, I might be the odd man out of a majority alliance, or perhaps the people that hold the power could just not like me. No matter what the reason, I would be infuriated, but at least I would be able to cross something off my bucket list.
