Maey Is Out..Betong Tries to Survive

I thought Maey is going to be part of the Final 3 but she failed to win the Immunity challenge so as expected everyone except Betong voted her out. I love Maey and I believe that she could really win the title given the chance that she’s in the Final 3 however, it is truly a sensible decision to vote her out this time around. KC, Mara and Stef knew that they stand very little chance of winning the votes of the jury if they will be fighting against Maey. So, there was not much to think about – when Maey lost in the Immunity challenge, it’s done deal that she’s going home next. At least, she already has a car!

Now, Betong is left alone in the island feeling more like an outcast around KC, Mara and Stef. Of course, Maey is his source of strength. With that, I thought, Betong will really win the last Immunity challenge. He almost got it! He was only fighting against Mara since KC and Stef were already out of the challenge. But in the end, Betong still fell short. Almost but not quite. With that, it is very likely that he will be out next.

But if I were Mara and Stef, I would think about it twice. Do they want to fight against KC in the finals? What would be their edge? KC dominated the challenges from the very beginning. He’s honest. He’s likable. He did not betray anyone and he could easily claim that he’s innocent in all the blindsiding moves. Does Mara or Stef has an edge over those credentials? The answer is a big NO! Unless the jury will decide to come up with a bitter vote. On the other hand, if they bring Betong in the finals, they could easily say that Betong was weak. He did not win any challenge. He basically rode with the waves. Without Maey, he probably won’t be able to think clearly of the game. He betrayed Gino and Arnold. With those, Stef and Mara will have better argument. However, I don’t think any of the two girls would still win. BUT, at least they will have better argument unlike if they bring KC to the end. I hope they start to think for once. I doubt if Betong will ever realize that his only chance of getting to the Final 3 is to pull KC down. His respect for KC is too high for him to think about pulling him down or even speak ill about him. But if he’s thinking about winning – he must do it!

We are close to finding out who’s going to be the next Celebrity Sole Survivor. But for now, we shall first know who will be in the Top 3 then we can start guessing who will win in Survivor Philippines Celebrity Doubles Showdown.

Montero Brothers in Survivor Philippines

Survivor Philippines | Posted by survivormuch
Jan 11 2012

What if KC Montero joined in Survivor Philippines with his brother Troy Montero as his partner and not Geneva Cruz who quitted on Day 1? Then, the Philippine Volcano Rugby teammates John and Arnold would have met a tough competition. But sadly, no, KC didn’t join in with his brother Troy. Anyway, we saw how these Montero brothers would look like in a challenge together.

Tonight’s episode of Survivor Philippines Celebrity Doubles Showdown featured the castaways’ loved ones. This is Troy’s second time to guest on the show as he visited his wife Aubrey Miles on last season of Survivor. What about next year? Would Troy be finally a castaway? We’ll see…

The challenge was a messy one literally, as the castaways together with their loved ones are tasked to dive in to a mud pit to fill their buckets with mud. They were not allowed to use their hands to scoop in some mud but nevertheless they can use different parts of their body. Whoever has the heaviest bucket of mud after the allotted 5 minutes will win the reward challenge.

Every castaway seems eager to win the challenge to be able to spend time with their loved ones in a hotel resort but in the end, no one even came close to the Montero brothers.

KC clearly knows so many techniques and very clever to find a way to win a challenge. He saw that at the edge of the mud pit lays bigger and heavier pack of mud so he settled for those knowing that it will definitely weigh more. In the end, right, no one even came close even the intense duo of Arnold and Chris, another Philippine Volcano rugby player.

As part of the reward challenge, KC got to choose two of the castaways with their loved ones to join with them in the hotel resort trip. Without thinking much he chose his closest ally Gino (together with his sister) and Betong (with his sister) to make up for the last Reward challenge wherein Betong only got a glass of water reward. However, the tricky part was when Richard told KC that he also needs to pick one castaway who needs to be separated from his “loved one”.  At first, KC seems confused but then again he chose Arnold who is with his teammate. The choice was indeed logical since others are with family members like Mara with his dad, Maey with his sister and Stef with her mom unlike Arnold with his teammate/buddy.

Although KC obviously justified his choice, we know that KC also did that as a form of revenge (of some sort) to Arnold who tried to vote him out last Tribal Council. In this stage of the game, KC is like playing party poker, he is bluffing by calling Arnold brother, saying how sorry he is to make that decision but deep inside he wants Arnold out of the game. By the looks of it, KC is having a better hand compared to Arnold.

Arnold definitely needs to work double to win Immunity challenge again or else he might soon follow his teammate John in the jury house. We will find out more in Survivor Philippines Celebrity Doubles Showdown.

New Tala Wins

Survivor Philippines | Posted by survivormuch
Dec 08 2011

Don’t you just feel the intensity and eagerness in Carlo Gonzales‘ aura? Well it is pretty obvious that the man is on fire! He is burning with the desire to win the game and not just win the game but play as clean as possible. Now that’s what you call SURVIVOR!

In tonight’s episode of Survivor Philippines Celebrity Doubles Showdown, the new Tala tribe composed of Arnold, Mara, Chuckie, Maey and Carlo showed that they are determined to win the Immunity Challenge. Arnold was pretty admirable when he said that he wants to show that despite the fact that he came from Bulan, he’s playing and he wants to win for the new Tala tribe. Well, we do not know if he said that only because he and Mara will obviously be in danger once they lose the Immunity challenge. But we see 100% eagerness in Arnold too.

However, when talked about eagerness and determination, it is Carlo Gonzales who showed it undoubtedly. I am a firm believer that in Survivor – the victory is always in the hands of the puzzle-solver. No matter how fast the team was if the puzzle solver is not good then your tribe will surely lose. The same happened to the new Bulan tribe. Gino was all-out effort in pouring water in their pipe and they did finish first but when John was solving the puzzle, Tala tribe immediately followed their lead. Carlo waste no time in solving the puzzle but he makes sure to make his moves systematic. He finished the puzzle ahead of John but when Richard corrected it, Carlo’s puzzle was actually upside down so he had to flip the whole puzzle to correct it. John of Bulan tribe had a lot of time to catch up since Carlo needed to start all over but still Carlo’s determination and systematic play prevailed. Phew! That was indeed an intense game! Congrats Tala tribe and congrats Carlo!

Carlo Gonzales Survivor

Well, didn’t you notice that there were no Temptation reward? Or did it end as well since the tribes were already shuffled?

Anyway, Bulan tribe will face the Tribal council tomorrow. According to teaser there were ties which is obvious since there were 3 original Tala and 3 original Bulan. KC, John and Gino were very into “dirty” tactics already. They first tried to lure Isabel Granada to vote with them against Arthur but when they saw how Isabel reacted – how she wanted to have “group meeting” they immediately resorted to Arthur to vote out Betong. If the Bulan guys were smart enough, they would realize that what they did was a desperate move. Is Arthur actually dumb to believe them? Well obviously, no one from the original Tala tribe was lured. Now, there will be a tie-breaker but the question now is who will win the duel?

Tomorrow is going to be an exciting episode in Survivor Philippines Celebrity Doubles Showdown.
