Valuing a player’s life in the game over a jacket strikes at the heart of the Survivor: David vs. Goliath episode 6 preview videos.
Survivor is as much a social game as it is a strategic, skilled or survival game. Even if you figure to know how to play the game and move the chess pieces on the board, you still need to be in the position to do so. Even if you are the strongest man in the world, you might find yourself vulnerable when losing to a puzzle.
Angelina Keeley is a strategic player with prowess in whipping the vote, as seen in Jeremy’s elimination. However, as the first of two Survivor: David vs. Goliath episode 6 preview videos shows, she’s on the bottom of a four-person tribe, with Nick and Mike bonded with their Rockstars alliance and Nick and Lyrsa connected as Davids.
Lyrsa felt betrayed by Angelina, who she now knows voted for Natalie just so she can save face 30and take Natalie’s jacket as she headed out the door. Though everybody at camp is yucking it up and Angelina is trying to play it off, Lyrsa knows she can’t trust Angelina if she values a jacket more than a vote against her.
Contrast that with Angelina’s “aw, shucks” laughter and confessionals about Natalie’s concerns, not Lyrsa’s, and you see how there’s a division with one person completely oblivious. Though this is just a snippet of the episode, it doesn’t portray Angelina’s game awareness in a good light.
The second of the Survivor: David vs. Goliath episode 6 preview videos shows the Reward Challenge as previously illustrated in the press photos. The tribes start out by carrying a heavy bag of coconuts as a team from the water, with one player per tribe attached to it by a rope. With the tribe holding the bag of coconuts on one side of the rail, a player would retrieve rings to toss onto a ring toss station at the final portion.
Will Angelina avoid the pre-merge r.obbed g.oddess tag? Will Vuku hold their lead in the Reward Challenge? Will someone provide all the contestants with proper jackets? Tune in tomorrow to find out!
