Survivor Philippines Celebrity Doubles Showdown: The Final Tribal Council

I wasn't going to write about Survivor Philippines anymore after Philippine Volcano Arnold got voted out. But watching the Jury two nights in the row made me changed my mind. Most of the jury members really takes the cake in bitterness and sourgraping!

Here's what's running through my mind while each jury member makes their case of why they deserve to be in the top 3 and not the trio of Mara, Betong and Step.

John: Why still bitter when you were voted out third? By the time of the final tribal council, John should have realized what went wrong in this strategy: Paranoia. But kudos to him for pointing out to Betong they are playing Survivor Philippines Celebrity Doubles Showdown, not Survivor Philippines Charity.

KC: Got a right to still be bitter because his elimination was still fresh, but recognize that he was voted out because the girls, Mara and Step, was influenced by the jury. As for Betong, give him hell not your vote since Maey told him to vote you out from the jury box. Betong has no strategy from day one, and still has none until the FTC. It was low of KC to hurt Step by just telling her that her dog Taco Boy has gone to dog heaven. Would that news help him decide who should win Survivor?


Maey: This is a mean girl by heart. She just managed to camouflage it by trying to be funny. If ever there is a jury member who doesn't have the right to be bitter it's Maey. She got a free car for doing nothing in her 30+ days in the island. And the gall and the entitlement that made Maey feel the she deserves to be in the top three because other castaways think she does? As fer BFF Betong would say: "Amazing!" Please someone enlighten may that Step's dog Taco Boy did not die because of how Step played the game of Survivor. That's plain stupidity and ignorance. Maey's bitterness was flowing down her face last night. The bitterness I dont understand because nobody betrayed her in that game. KC gave her a car and sent her on her way. Say thank you and move past your failure in the game: giving Mara back her immunity bracelet.

Gino: He surprised because I thought he would be breathing fire to the final three and because even at the Jury House he was still campaigning like he would be sent back in the game if he can just convince people he was not the mastermind. For someone who was still playing Survivor in the Jury House Gino was civilized towards the Top 3.

Rochelle Pangilinan's BF: Next.

Chuckie: This is Survivor Philippines, not Survivor Philippines Charity. Read the actual Rule Book of the franchise. Same goes to Rochelle Pangilinan's BF.

Arnold: His Kiwi accent last night was more pronounced than it has ever been. What can I say? Arnold is LOVE! :P

After watching the entire season of Survivor Philippines I am more convinced now that the cut-throat nature of the game is not for Pinoys. We take it so personal and have a hard time separating the game from real life, life outside the game. Just because you were blindsided doesn't mean your fellow castaways are awful people. It just means they strategized and you were the casualty of that strategy. In other words, it's just a game, people!
