Earth, Water, Fire and Wind. Four elements that were used for the First challenge in Survivor Philippines Celebrity Showdown. Richard Gutierrez explained to the castaways the rule:
Castaways will run their way up the wall and jump off the “trampoline” ropes until they are able to go down. Then they will find hoopla rings in the muddy water and when they got three rings they can move on across the smoldering coal and try their luck to shoot the hoopla rings to designated poles. First two castaways to complete the challenge will win special scrolls.

Survivor Celebrity Showdown castaways are still in one group sharing the same shelter, fire, and camp site. Day 1 they immediately felt the hardship in terms of living condition they will be experiencing in the island for 36 days to get a chance in winning the title First Celebrity Sole Survivor.
Foods were lacking, there were coconut trees which Akihiro tried to climb but they immediately realized there were no coconut. They tried catch fish but it was low tide that time so they settled for oysters for food Mico Aytano commented “if given a choice I wouldn’t eat it pero no choice eh so I had to eat it but when I ate it- it actually felt really delicious. Ganun pala yung feeling pag wala kang makain” while Solenn Heussaff left with no choice but to starve herself the whole night because she’s allergic to oysters.

Survivor Philippines Celebrity Showdown premiered tonight August 30. We saw the 18 castaways, we had glimpse of who’s who and characters they will be portraying but everything was just a teaser..appetizer for the audience. But, indeed it was a great appetizer.
The show started with a red carpet premiere with Pia Guaino interviewing the castaways with Solenn saying she wants to prove people that she’s not just a socialite like what others think of her. Akihiro on the other hand wants to experience the life in the island. Well everyone got distracted when locales of Thailand came up to each castaway and brought them in assigned service trucks. Karen delos Reyes as expected started her “taray queen” image commenting Read the rest of this entry »

Male castaways of Survivor Philippines Celebrity Showdown will not be left behind with a very wide variety of personalities from rock star to matinee idol to a cager, doctor, to hunk model up to member of the third sex. Surely they will offer so much to the viewers that will make the game even more intense and more exciting. So here are the Male Castaways of this season Survivor Philippines Celebrity Showdown before we see them in action tonight on the pilot episode.

1. Buhawi Meneses
Buhawi is a member of Parokya ni Edgar. He is a self-confessed fan of Survivor and he in fact auditioned for the first season of the reality show. Will this mean he knows how to play the game so well based on the things he observed while watching seasons of Survivor both foreign and local? Will this make him rock all the way until he became the First Celebrity Sole Survivor? We will get to know more Buwi starting this Monday.

2. Doc Ferdz Recio
He is a host of the environmental show Born to be Wild alongside Survivor first season’s castaway Kiko. Did Doc Ferdz got a lot of advise from Kiko? And will the nature of his work help him a lot to survive the harsh environment? We’ll see if he can go further than what Kiko achieved.

3. Ervic Vijandre
Close friend of First Sole Survivor of Survivor Philippines – JC Tiuseco. In fact, they basically have the same background and aura, cager, shy-looking, quiet type of guy. Will he use the same tactics as JC before- portrayed an underdog image at the beginning then emerged as the strongest player at the end? Or will he do the opposite and attack from the very beginning. He can be compared to a silent river and for sure he got much more to offer. Plus, why is he crying in the teaser, very intriguing really. Ervic is one castaway we shall watch out for.
