The tribe thinks muscle wins—then Christian strolls up to a slide puzzle and flips the script. Pat needs to be med-evaced after a freak boat accident. Lyrsa and Elizabeth build trust fast. Translation for organizers: visible power (money, titles, brawn) isn’t the advantage that decides the game—what you organize is.

In this episode, Claire and Tykee turn Survivor: David vs. Goliath into a practical blueprint you can use this week. We break down “structure tests” and how to spot reliable partners; show you how to build an alliance architecture and contrast it with the top-down chaos that burns people out. You’ll learn the Reliability Math, the Shock Doctrine play for when a leader goes down, and how to run an audit on your own team to surface hidden assets: narrative power, puzzle-solvers, and under-the-radar relationships.
