vern answered 2 of my questions while marlon answered none. the live chat was quite short compared to the last live chat where kiko and jace participated and they answered more questions. paolo did not type his answers during the live chat.

survivor philippines: vern is dating fellow castaway, kiko has a 9-year old child

after being eliminated and becoming jury members, cast offs kiko rustia and veronica domingo guested in showbiz central last sunday. kiko cleared the issue on why he gave the black pearl to rob. he said that he really thought that rob voted against him and he apologized for it. vern, on the other hand, was asked on what happened in the last reward challenge. she was voted as the stinkiest survivor. she said that it is due to the weeks of no shower in the island. naak members won a shower reward so i think its clear that they smell better than the ex-jarakay members.

they then chose between killer task and killer question. both of them chose killer question. for kiko, he was asked if it was true that he already has a child. he confirmed the news that he already has a 9-year old son and if he would date any woman, it is a requirement that they should love his child too. for vern, she was asked if it is true that she is dating another cast away. she also confirmed the news but divulged that it is not jace. kiko also said that it was not him. she also said that she still cannot say who he is. i think he is still in the game that is why she cannot say who it is. my instinct is that this it is jc that she is refering to.

survivor philippines: why veronica lost

veronica domingo has a heart of a champion. being a taekwondo champion for years, she has been very focused and discplined. she has the looks, she has the stamina and she is determined. she went to the island for nothing else but to become the first sole survivor in survivor philippines. but she was eliminated and became the third jury member.

so why did vern lose?

first, she was a physical threat. in all challenges, vern was simply dominating all of them. she definitely is the strongest female castaway out there. she has the focus and the determination to beat them all. and she proved it in the hai pillow challenge where she out hustled not only the girls but also the boys. she out endured all of them in the second individual immunity challenge, standing on the rung for more than 4 hours with out any sign of discomfort. she is really awesome in challenges.

second, she was a mental player and a threat. she thinks about things thoroughly without deciding on what to do next and who to vote. her quietness in the camp makes her so unpredictable. and you never want anyone to plan behind your back without knowing it.

third, jarakay definitely has the disadvantage in terms of numbers. from the merge, jarakay has only 4 members and naak has 6. jace was the first to go but they were able to get rid of kiko next. now that the remaining naak members were able to talk things over, marlon and charisse are definitely next to go.

fourth, she had no strong alliance left in the game. her original alliance was the muscle group in jarakay: jace, gigit, john, vern and marlon. but marlon is also on the girls alliance and he is more into this alliance. ith all the other allies of her gone, she then went to go with marlon and charisse since its the lkogical thing to do. bu she was not completely into it, saying that she is not trusting anybody in the game.

for me, the main reason for her loss is her being a big physical threat and jarakay having the numbers disadvantage. she shown great physical strength and mental toughness that has threathened all the other survivors. and its the best time to eliminate her, because if not, she can win all the next immunity challenges.

survivor philippines:veronica becomes the third jury member

after a shocking elimination of kiko last week, veronica domingo was eliminated in survivor philippines. her elimination came after a 5 - 4 vote in the tribal council. all the former naak tribe members voted for her while all the ex-jarakay members voted for rob plus the black pearl vote.

before the tribal council, the individual immunity challenge was shown. this week's immunity challenge involves finding 7 colored blocks in a big playing field, hidden among the trees and bushes. each cast away has their own assigned color. each block has thai characters on it, each representing a day of the week. after collecting all 7 tiles, they must arrange the blocks in order to win immunity. the arrangement was shown for 20 seconds before the game starts and a cheat table is provided 200 meters from the game station.

all of the cast aways had an easy time finding the first 5 blocks but had difficulty finding the 2 more blocks. all of the first 5 were hidden under the trees. they did not notice that there were blocks on top of the branches. it was vern who first completed all 7 tiles but was not able to arrange them in order. she decided to go to the cheat table. next to complete the 7 tiles was zita but was also not able to arrange the blocks properly. charisse then completed the blocks and arranged them in order to win immunity.

all the individual immunity challenges so far has been won by girls. zita won the first one, vern wn last week and charisse won it this week. kaye is the only female cast away without a win in individual immunity challenge.

at camp, marlon causes some trouble by saying to cris that zita was angry at jc because he did not choose her for the reward after promising it to her. but when cris confronted zita and she denied it. the naak tribe knew that it was the best time to eliminate vern since she is a strong competitor in challenges. the jarakay voted for rob since he has an extra vote because of the black pearl.

after her elimination, veronice gave the black pearl to another ex-jarakay member, charisse.

survivor philippines: veronica wins second individual immunity challenge

taekwondo champ veronica domingo won the second individual immunity challenge on day 23 of survivor philippines. the immunity challenge was an endurance challenge. a bahay kubo was set up on the beach with 9 partitions. each cast away will occupy one partition. on each side of the partitions are 3 rungs, one is 1 inch wide, another is 3/4 inch wide and the last is 1/2 inch wide. on paolo's que, the cast aways will step on the the 1 inch rung and avoid falling off. when a cast away falls off, he is out of the game. after 20 minutes, they would transfer to the 3/4 inch rung. after 20 more minutes, they will again transfer to the 1/2 inch rung. the last person on the rung will be declared the winner.

the first 20 minutes was quite easy for almost all the cast aways. but just before the first 20 minutes ended, paolo brought out a plate of chips and ice cold softdrink; which will go to the first person to quit. just after all of them transferred to the middle rung, rob stepped down and went for the plate of chips.

after 10 more minutes, paolo then offered a plate of spaghetti and drinks; which marlon accepted gladly. the remaining 7 cast aways all lasted the second round and eventually transferred to the last rung.

after 45 minutes, kiko then gave up. charisse was really struglling and eventually gave up after more than 50 minutes. then jc slipped just before the 1 hour mark. nanay zita soon followed the others after 1 hour and 46 minutes in the challenge.

paolo then offered a plate of fried chicken meal to the 3 remaining cast away just before the 2 hour mark. marlon immediately convinced kaye to come down, sensing that she is already struggling. kaye came down after 2 hours on the challenge.

cris and vern are the only ones left in the challenge. cris was doing this for his father, so he can be proud of him. another hour passed, cris was now in pain and vern is still calm and relaxed. vern even offered a handshake to cris. it was now dark and a bonfire was set up to light the challenge area. another hour passed and cris was really struggling and crying. saying that his father would get angry if he quits. but he evntually called it quits and stepped down, giving vern the immunity.

vern is the second female castaway to win the individual immunity, after zita won iundividual immunity on day 20. looks like the girls are performing better than the male cast aways in immunity challenges.

survivor philippines: episode 32 - scheming and beer drinking

some observations on episode 32 of survivor philippines:

> marlon is making a move to impress naak and make them not vote for him. this is a good move for him. being in a new environment. you must first observe and adjust to the dynamics of the new group. but he is maintaining his alliance with the former jarakay members, which he also needs to stay in the game.

> marlon is not the only one slowing down. charisse was not shown strategizing at all. hmmm... good thinking... but she needs to go back to playing the game since they have the disadvantage in numbers and marlon can drop her any time.

> jace is definitely stepping up his game. he is the one planning for jarakay. he ultimately believes that jc is on his side. he trusts him too much. since naak is seeing him planning and scheming for jarakay, he puts himself very vulnerable to the vote. he is not only a physical threat but also a game threat.

> naak seems to be sticking together... all of them are telling each other what jarakay is telling them. but this game has only 1 winner, 6 persons cannot win the game. hope some of them realizes this. until when will they stick together?

> jc is pissed off that jace thinks that jarakay can get him. he must be flattered that jace is trusting him too much. he is also telling naak what jace has told him. hmmm... jc is blindsiding jace, he is now playing the game to his advantage. but he must remember that the ones he is dealing with right now are the same persons that would determine the sole survivor. his betrayal may lose his 4 votes, if all jarakay members will be voted off.

> jace's proposed vote order: kiko, rob, cris, zita, kaye... this would not happen for sure.

> marlon got drunk, he just screwed up all the things that he did the whole day to impress naak. back to square one.

> cris shown the emotional side of him. crying over the bonfire with beer in his hand. he misses his family. hmmm... zita is not the only one trying to win the sympathy votes.

> kaye is making some realization that jarakay needs someone to jump ship to their side... is she thinking of abandoning naak?

> jace wants the jarakay alliance to be a secret. huh? isn't it common sense that they have an alliance and hasn;'t he told jc so much about the alliance?
