Survivor Philippines: Emotional Immunity

this is the most emotional and worth-fighting immunity challenge so far. the objective is to race to the finish line after doing the math in the SP questionnaires -- choosing the right answer to raise their flag -- the first three gets to second round -- walk on ropes -- doing the math again -- then flag -- race the buckets of rocks to the finish line by pulling them on bamboo planks then raise the final flag. it was almost head-to-head between Kaye and JC but Marlon still tried to catch up. if not for Kaye's falling rocks and buckets, she could have won the immunity. JC delivered his smoothly to the finish line and eventually winning immunity.

the rewards, immunity and a 5-minute call to a loved one at home. everyone had a chance to see a short clip of the video messages from their close friends and relatives. before the challenge, Charisse volunteered and saw her mom and brother, Cris got some from her mom, JC and Marlon from their girlfriends, Rob from his brother, Zita from her bestfriend, and Kaye from her mom. of all the castaways, Marlon showed the most emotion on cam. and when Paolo said to JC that he could choose 2 castaways to see the full message from their loved one, Marlon is the most thankful for JC for choosing him to experience the same reward. Marlon didn't imagine but somehow felt that JC realized how dreadful Marlon was in the island since the merging. and Zita was convinced of Marlon's cry. JC had sweet words with gf but almost said nothing because of the strong emotion and missing each other.

Survivor Philippines: Pagandahan, Pabonggahan, Pachorvahan

before the day ended, Nanay found a huge fish by the shore while she was washing her clothes. she screamed for help to catch it and Marlon and the rest of the guys ran up to her. Kaye asked if that would be edible and nobody was sure about it. Zita identified the fish as butete and even related it to the fish identified on the local version of Low. Marlon explained that it is edible and even for gourmet in Chinese cuisine but something has to be taken out of it and be cooked in the right way. JC suggested that if they cook it, Marlon has to try it out first as experiment like a guinea pig. JC has evil plans too, haha. but since they are not sure of eating the fish, Marlon released it back to the sea.

Kaye is having thoughts on who's to vote on the next TC. she first talked to JC about Rob and they considered him to be out of the game. next she talked to Marlon while he again pours his demonic tactics which Kaye may fall into. she even said to the interview that she is thankful to Marlon of helping her think how to stay in the game.

at twilight, the tribemates are bored so they made a scene just out of nowhere! all of a sudden, the guys stood up and sort of made a beauty pageant of themselves. Marlon didn't care of how he would look like but they just want to entertain themselves. Charisse also said that these guys have abs so it would be a perfect laugh trip and she enjoyed the night. of all the boys, JC is the one being tried. he tried to act like one but he had a hard time doing it unlike the others. he cannot imagine the shame and thoughts of the viewers. before the pageant was over, Rob had his rare "exfosure" that added laughter to the castaways to get from all the other pressures that they experience on the island.

it's Balaku-Tarutao. they did a remake of Nuts Entertainment's BALAKUBAK as Zita suggested since they have already started this gay stint. the topics on the bulungan segment were all revealed. just for fun, they even relayed the questions to the camera. if the ladies had answered, they will whisper the answer to themselves but will react violently on the revelations. Charisse didn't escape the questions between her and Kiko. even Zita. Kaye asked her if there would be a love team on island, would Gigit get the chance? Zita has tried to get out of the hot seat but she said that Gigit is not her type. lastly, Marlon teased Rob to Vern if she is the girlfriend-type or just for dating. Rob didn't leave us with a no-answer.

do they feel the game at this point? for now, JC has a number to trust. Kaye and Cris don't trust anyone with them.

Survivor Philippines: Spoiler NOT TRUE!

the rumors on who will survive the Top 5 of the biggest reality show on Philippine TV ARE NOT TRUE. i have checked the article on Paolo B. giving his fearless forecast from SP.com and checked the recent situation on the show.

on this article, Paolo delivered a spoiler before that "Zita, Niña, Marlon, JC and Vevherly WILL BE the Final Five." and checking the castaways that are still on the game, Vevherly and Niña are out. Vevh is voted off from Naak's last Tribal Council and Niña is forcely eliminated due to her foot's condition.

most of us are looking forward for Marlon's elimination but c'mon, he is the life of the show. probably the MEANEST and MOST EVIL among others but he is able to save his ass from being voted off. for your demonic tactics, GOOD JOB, Marlon.

i'm not campaigning for him to win, buti nga hindi ako pwede bumoto para manalo sya. i don't want him to win either. so good luck to the other remaining castaways

Survivor Philippines: Pagkain na, Nanakaw pa!

JC grabs back reward from this "sponsored" reward challenge.

Paolo gives them a survey quiz on the personalities of the castaways. and whose name appears most on each question will be the right answer for that query. a person who gets the right answer will be able to cut down the effigy of a fellow tribe member and will soon be out of the game. the winner gets a secret scroll.

Some of the questions and answers were:

Kaninong castaway ang may sama ka ng loob? Answers: Marlon and JC.

Sinong castaway ang nasa loob ang kulo? Rob

Sinong castaway(s) ang nagkukunwari na walang alam sa larong Survivor? Zita and Cris

Sinong castaway(s) ang walang silbi? Kaye

Sinong castaway(s) ang pinakamabaho? Marlon and Vern (ouch)

Sinong castaway(s) ang walang kapag-pag-asang manalo sa Survivor? Marlon (hehe)

Marlon gets burned first, followed by Charisse and for the deciding question between the last two standing (JC and Zita)

Sinong castaway(s) ang pinakapinagkakatiwalaan mo?

Zita answered Kaye, while JC answered Zita - and the correct answer was: Zita

JC wins another secret scroll.

the reward, yet to be revealed until Paolo says to open it. however, he gave them a bunch of food with the secret recipe, MAGGI MAGIC SARAP. yun ang tinatawag na plugging!

heading back to camp, they are all excited to prepare but they didn't eat nor tasted what they had prepared. because Paolo instructed them so. then Paolo arrived and told JC to open the secret scroll to relay to others what it says: bring all food and 3 other tribemates to a resort.

nanlumo ang lahat. sina Kaye, Cris at Rob lang ang sinama ni JC.

Survivor Philippines: Live Chat with Jace and Kiko!

sukdulan na ang pagiging fanatic ko. hahaha

yesterday, though i was under a heavy load of work, na-manage ko pa ring maglog-on sa official website para masaksihan at makausap ang two latest castoffs, Jace and Kiko. mejo nadelay ang promised time na 2PM to 230 at halos 3PM na nga nag-start. actually, 2PM pa lang e marami nang naka-log na fans dun sa main room at kame-kame na rin ang nag-usap. everyone is talking about who's next on the Tribal Council, the evilness of Marlon and the past episodes, etc. dpa nakasalang ang mga castoffs e nagtatype nako ng mga tanong sa kani-kanilang webpage for livechat.

1st na nasalang sa webcast si Jace, in black, semi-fit shirt. mukhang obsessed pa rin sa gymfit nyang katawan. lol joke! he was very kind and nice enough to entertain 2 of my questions:

ohmski: hello. you were one of my
favorites from the game but how
does it feel to be voted off?

JACEFLORES: mix po eh, good nd bad lol,
siempre po getting voted out
sucks and at the same time
MAKAKAKAIN NAKO!!! LOL

ohmski: do we still don't know more
about what happens in the island
which are not seen on tv?

JACEFLORES: YES lol i would say u guys only see 35 % and that 35 % is EDITED =)

they are choosing the questions to answer. at marami nagtatanong na mga nasagot na sa kanyang mga interviews. eto namang si rio, pilit na pinapatanong kung nag-aaral daw ba si Jace before SP and what school and course ang kinukuha nya. we all know that he is a Gym Instructor, pero hina-hunting pa rin nya kung saang gym. lol

next is Kiko. those dreadlocks are still a question for me on how he maintains it. sabi nya, sometimes, kung ano na lang ang sabon na meron. kahit Tide daw pwede na. (uyyy, si Kiko, gusto mag-endorse ng sabong panlaba. hahaha) too bad wala akong tanong na inentertain ni Kiko. PRO-NAAK pa naman ako! tapos puro words of gratitude ang nsabi ni Kiko kasi ang dami nyang fans!

and after a few breaks, they joines together to chat with us once more. nakalog-in nalang sa account ni Kiko. buti nakapasok pa ang isang question ko:

ohmski: sino mas masarap magluto, Marlon o Nanay Zita? hehe
KIKORUSTIA: for me its marlon (jace) for kiko its nanay.

napansin ko lang kahapon, si Kiko laging may "keri lang" sa bawat issue na sinasagot nya.

thanks guys for the great show.
