Galu obliterated Foa Foa in this week's reward challenge. After procuring a very nice lead, Galu continued to rack up the points. Foa Foa fell short, not being able to keep up with Galu, walking away with nothing. The intellectual part of the game really came into play in this challenge, with being able to remember the locations of the items and making smart decisions as to what to keep. Galu utilized both aspects of simply collecting the things you need and going for the win. Their lead certainly gave them to comfortability to take almost anything they wanted; though, Galu only ended up keeping the fire starting kit with tarp.
The point I'm trying to make is that since Galu had such a lead, they didn't really need to focus on points-or-stuff. They had enough points to take a few more items, but they didn't take their chances. Brett as leader was a very good choice, because he made the smart decision of playing it safe while taking the absolutely essential item.
Intelligence is very important to do well in the game; Russell shows this very well, as he is very intelligent with how people work and how to manipulate them for personal gain. The role intelligence plays is that of a dividing line between those who stand a chance to go all the way and win and those who don't.

Russell may have much intelligence good sir, but he is also an ass. I guess that wouldn't really matter (being an ass and all) in Survivor because everybody looses except for one person. I do believe that Brett could have taken more things but playing it safe is also good.
ReplyDeleteYeah I thought they could of taken a few more things to help them out but your right they didn't want to risk it.
