survivor philippines: nikki co-hosts in unang hirit, jace stars in luna mystica

after signing a contract with gma artist center, nikki dacullo's first assignment is being a co-host of the channel's morning show, unang hirit. nikki will start this coming mnday, november 3. nikki is the second cast off to be part of the show. patani daño is the show's palengke correspondent that monitors the prices of market goods. here is the excerpt from a report from philippine entertainment portal ( http://www.pep.ph/news/19754/Survivor-Philippines-castoff-Nikki-Dacullo-takes-the-plunge-and-enters-showbiz ):

NIKKI ENTERS SHOWBIZ. Si Nikki ang 8th castaway na natanggal last October 24. Pero kasama na siya sa pinapirma ng managerial contract ng GMA Artist Center last Tuesday, October 28, kasama ng iba pang castaways na sina Jace Flores, Vevherly Gador, Veronica Domingo, Kiko Rustia, Chev Macias, Patani Dano, at Kaye Alipio. Sa kasalukuyan ay hindi pa natatanggal sa Survivor Philippines sina Veronica, Kiko, at Kaye.

Ngayong nasa showbiz na si Nikki, ready na ba siya sa intriga?

"Narito na po ako, kaya ready na ako," nakangiting sagot ni Nikki.

During the presscon ay in-announce ng Survivor Philippines host na si Paolo Bediones na unang assignment ni Nikki ang pagiging co-host ng GMA-7 early morning show na Unang Hirit. Magsisimula na si Nikki bukas, November 3.

Ano ang feeling niya ngayong may panibagong challenge na naman sa kanya?

"Ninenerbiyos nga po ako at hindi ko pa alam kung ano ang gagawin ko. Siguro naman po makatutulong sa akin ang pagiging call-center agent ko," sagot ni Nikki.

May nakapagsabi sa PEP na sa showbiz news segment ng Unang Hirit siya ilalagay at makakasama niya roon sina Lhar Santiago, Suzi Entrata, Lyn Ching, at Jolina Magdangal. Kaya ipinayo ng PEP sa kanya na dapat ay mag-homework siya at magbasa ng latest showbiz news.
"Salamat po. Mabuti na lang mahilig po talaga akong magbasa ng showbiz news. Gagawin ko po ‘yon," saad ni Nikki.

on the other hand, another male cast off is entering show business.the newly evicted cast off and first jury member jace flores is reportedly the previously unnamed survivor contestant that is part of the new soap opera of gma 7 to be lead by heart evangelista. mosts forums thought it would be another cast away, jc tiuseco but reports are saying that it will be jace. here is an excerpt from an article from pilipino star ngayon ( http://www.philstar.com/index.php?Showbiz&p=50&type=2&sec=58&aid=20081101190 ):

Scene : Tsugi na sa Survivor Philippines ang gym instructor na si Jace Flores. Hindi uuwing luhaan si Jace dahil meron na siyang showbiz career. Kasama siya sa cast ng Luna Mystica.

let us wait for the shows that the other cast offs would be part off in the coming days. looks like this is only the start of survivor invasion in gma 7.

survivor philippines: 4 female cast offs now official kapuso stars

the four female cast offs (voted out cast aways) from survivor philippines are now the newest kapuso stars. as shown in the nightly news of gma 7, 24 oras, the four cast offs, chev macias, patani daño, vevherly gador and nikki dacullo signed their exclusive talent management contract with gma 7 yesterday. of the four, only patani has regular shows. she is currently part of unang hirit as its prinsesa ng palengke and eat bulaga.

watch out for the upcoming shows of these survivor cast offs in the future.

survivor philippines: why nikki lost

nikki dacullo definitely has the charms to be a survivor. survivor is a game of strategy, we all know that. and aligning with people is a must and being as friendly as charming as nikki would definitely be an advantage. being a call center agent, she sure has the capability to communicate well with others.

with this in mind, why did nikki lose the game?

first, nikki was tagged as the weakest link in jarakay. since patani's exit in the 3rd tribal council, nikki was tagged as such. she was the least impressive among the girls during challenges. going to the merge with the disadvantage in numbers, its important the winners in the next challenges would come from jarakay so they can have an advantage in bargaining. the tribe might have felt that their chances would be better if nikki would be the one to be eliminated.

second, she helps the least at camp. as shown in several episodes, she sleeps too much and has not been a big help at camp. being a call center agent must have taken a toll on her. her body clock must have not fully adjusted to the normal waking and sleeping hours. proving your worth to the tribe is a must in survivor, and i think she did not do this.

third, she was not a strategic player. with only 3 of them left in the girls alliance in jarakay, charisse and marlon definitely outwitted her. based on what was shown on tv, she strategizes with charisse and she follows what charisse says. she has not shown any attempt to stategize on her own and convince others to vote out this person.

fourth, her alliance was a failed one. she was with the girls alliance in jarakay, together with charisse, marlon, patani and nina. patani was eliminated in week 3. nina was out due to injury in week 4, leaving her, charisse and marlon. with them having the numbers advantage (only 2 are left in the muscle tribe, jace and vern since marlon was vocal that he is with the girl), they must have voted for vern. but they did not and she trusted the two very much that she did not knew that the two were voting her out, together with the 2 other tribe members.

fifth, she has been experiencing homesickness. it was shown on the show that she has been moody at times and she had cried several times since she has been missing home so much. she has been wanting to go home several times and had express her feelings that it would be okay if she is the one to be voted off. this might have made the choice of the other tribemates easier. why would i vote out another person who wants to stay if someone feels okay if she goes home?

if i were to choose the main reason on why nikki lost, it would be her being the weakest link of the tribe. she needed to prove her worth in the tribe to stay and she failed miserably.

but some one like her would be ideal to get through to the merge. first because she has the charms to get new alliances. second, she is weak and can easily lose challenges. and third, she has been cruising throuh the game and is not playing strategy; making her a very easy player to sacrifice in the end. maybe the other tribe members did not consider this, and its maybe their loss in the end.

survivor philippines: jarakay votes off nikki

on its sixth week, survivor philippines has eliminated its eight cast away. after losing its 4th straight challenge, jarakay decided to vote off nikki, tagged as the call center beauty during the 6th tribal council in the island while naak is watching at the sidelines. the vote of the tribe was unanimous, 4-1. all of the other tribe members voted for her while her vote went to vern.

nikki lasted 18 days on the island and has been one of the eye candies in the show. she has been tagged as jarakay's weakest link and escaped elimination last week when the tribe decided to vote off john instead, due to his dwindling health. she was part of the girls alliance in jarakay, together with charisse, marlon, patani and nina.

nikki also became close to kaye of naak during the time that naak was still made up of all the female cast aways. when paolo announced that nikki was going home, kaye was shown crying. she accepted the decision of the tribe very lightly based on her exit interview after the tribal council.

with nikki gone, naak definitely has the numbers with the merge coming next week, as shown in the preview shown after the show. it will be exciting to see how the jarakay members prove their worth to stay in the game and try to get the trust of some of naak's tribe members.
