Day 53

people need to be aware of their competitors strengths in order to exploit the weaknesses.

In episode 3 of Koah Rong, two individuals, an MIT graduate and an ER doctor, were completely blindsided when the MIT grad (Elisabeth) got voted off. One reason when you break down the episodes that you can point to was the language Liz and Peter used when speaking to their fellow tribe mates.

They were talking about their tribe mates like they were sheep that they were trying to lead to the slaughter. And it wasn't only like they were referring to them as that only in confessional. They were deliberately trying to simplify the vote so that the others "would understand it."

The people around them hated the way they were being talked to and decided to vote them off as a result. This shows that what you believe to be a weakness in your competitors game (their "lack" of a brain) could lead to a reaction on your part that would cause them to come after you.
