It would have been a wise choice to vote out KC but not if the idea came from the jury.
Survivor Philippines Celebrity Doubles Showdown is reaching its final stretch but the twists and drama are continously flowing. I mentioned in my last post how it would be a wise decision for Mara and Stef to vote out KC instead of Betong since they will be able to have better argument against the “weakling” Betong instead of the “challenge dominator” “lovable” KC. However, I also mentioned last time that it would’ve been a great decision but the castaways especially Betong looked to be clueless of the bigger picture.
Now, here comes the Tribal Council. Maey was shown first mouthing KC to Betong and the rest of the castaways while Richard was talking. Then, Gino managed to whisper an explanation as to why KC should be voted out. He said to Stef and Mara “you two had better chances if you will vote out KC”. Imagine, Gino was able to explain that considering the fact that the jury members are not allowed to talk? DUH!!!!
Richard noticed Gino talking so he asked Gino to stop because it’s unfair. Gino said sorry but then again he insisted that they all vote out KC. The rest of the jury looked tense and signalling as well. But, it was Gino who appeared to be most eager in voting KC Montero out. I wonder why is Gino so bitter towards KC? They were allies. KC never betrayed him. KC did not write his name down. So, where all the bitterness coming from? Oh well, yes of course Gino was so bitter that he planned everything with KC but he was long been out while KC is one step closer to winning so he did all the best that he could to pull KC down. What a classy act!
Gino can clear his name for all he wants – he could say how he’s not the only jury member signalling or mouthing to the castaways but the thing is he is the ring leader, the mastermind – he even brainwashed Maey to go against KC when the truth is he’s the only jury member that KC did no wrong to. So that is enough to call him BITTER.
Now, with all the mouthings from the jury, Stef whispered to Mara – KC. Now, they are seeing the bigger picture. Now, they already realized that KC is the biggest threat that they should stay away from.
Again, I would say, it’s a good decision contrary to what KC mentioned that “it’s the dumbest move” and that the girls just gave away the game to Betong. BUT, it was totally unfair because the idea came from the bitter jury. They are so bitter that they forgot to follow the rules and because of them, the game is already tainted.
How can we be sure that Mara and Stef only came up with the decision because of the jury’s mouthings? It is possible that they realized KC is the biggest threat because of his statements when Richard asked him “what will be his basis in deciding who will be on the Final 3 with him”. He answered something like “Of course I want to win, everybody wants to win. So at the end of the day, I do not want to be fighting against a person that is “more deserving” than I am”. If you were Mara and Stef, you could realize that KC is right. Therefore, why would you bring someone who is deserving like KC. So vote out KC. But now, we will never find the real reason why the two girls decided last minute to vote out KC. It is all because of the bitter jury. They should be getting used to hearing the word BITTER to describe them because THEY ARE.
Last year, Aubrey Miles who played the best Survivor game was voted out by the jury because of the illogical twist that the jury will vote out together with the final four to reveal the Final 3. It was totally a bad call from the Survivor staff since if they had stick to the rules, the winner Akihiro Sato would not even be in the Final 3 since three out of the Top 4 (Solenn, Ervic and Aubrey) voted Akihiro out. This season, the staff seemed to realize that they shall stick by the original rules so there were no involvement anymore from the jury to reveal the Final 3. BUT the bitter jury decided to play by their own rules by influencing the castaways to vote KC out despite the fact that they are not allowed to talk. With that, KC was totally robbed.
We will find out who will be the next Celebrity Sole Survivor. Will it be Mara, Stef or Betong? Survivor Philippines Celebrity Doubles Showdown airs the Finale on Friday, Feb 10.
