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!

Survivor Philippines Celebrity Doubles Showdown: Gino Is Voted Out


Gino, The Strategist, has been out-strategist to become the latest votee on Survivor Philippines Celebrity Doubles Showdown. It was another blindside, following John's of the Volcano Rugby team. It was not a blindside for me since as we know the obvious votee is never the one, right editing monkeys?



KC and Gino thought they had it in the bag, but as always one of the many no-nos in Survivor is "huwag magpakakampante." True enough, the tandem of Arnold and Mara used the power of Mara's Immunity Bracelet to sway Betong and Mhaey to vote out Gino.

As usual, Stef Prescott continued to be the castaway who is the outcast in the tribe even if she is presumably working with Gino and the majority alliance to vote out Arnold. Stef voted for Arnold, while KC and Gino voted for Mara. This is what happens when players like Stef who are unstable, who appear to be wishy-washy to others. You can't trust these kind of players to vote with you always.

I hope Stef is kept out of the loop until she and her smug ass are voted out of the island. According to Stef, Arnold needs to be voted out because Arnold's character is slowly deteriorating as he advances deeper into the game (well, that's my take on Stef's reason last night). Duh! Is Survivor a test of character? Is it a game of charity? Blindsides, using your power of persuasion and anything at your disposal to
stay alive are par for the course in a game like Survivor.

I have reservations that Arnold, or even Mara, would be ruthless to the exclusion of all others outside the game. But I have no doubt that Stef Prescott is a BITCH and a CUNT of the first order inside and outside of Survivor. If words are knives, Arnold would already be bleeding.

Every time I watch Stef's talking heads I want to reach across the TV and slap her smug ass. And if she rolls her eyes one more time, I wish a bad wind passes through and giver her a permanent ceiling eyes.

I want Arnold or Mara to get away with the title and prizes since the duo have satisfied with their blindside of Carlo, the sanctimonious one, and the smart use of the Immunity bracelet. But since this is Survivor Philippines, the winner will the one who tugs the jury's hearts the most. It is almost never the one who outwits, outplays and outlasts.

Survivor Philippines Celebrity Doubles Showdown: The Season of Quitters


The fourth season of Survivor Philippines may well be the shortest season in all of Survivor franchises worldwide because this season is turning out to be the season of quitters. At day 6 or 7, the tribes are ready to merge because five people have already quit.

At the last tribal council of Survivor Philippines Celebrity Doubles Showdown, Jackie Forster and Angelicopter quit. Five minutes after the conclusion of the Tribal Council, starlet Ellen Adarna and her boylet Filo also quit. Only hours into the season, Geneva Cruz, the trainwreck, left the island for reasons that even her therapist would be hard pressed to understand.

Whether the three means girls and 'da who' were influenced by host Richard Gutierrez basically berating them for being the whining-est tribe to ever be formed on Survivor Philippines' four seasons, we'll never know.

What I know is that these bitches, Filo included, were way in over themselves. Whatever excuses they came up with to explain their exit, fact is they couldn't cut it in a harsh environment. And Jackie Forster chose the wrong show to show her sons that she has finally developed a good side.

And we know that those bitches got outplayed by the "cancer" of the Tala tribe, Maribel Lopez. Can those bitches hold their heads high knowing that they got played by Maribel Lopez? No, they couldn't that's why they are still whining and being bitter in Twitterverse.

The filming was over months ago. The castaways and crew have returned to the real world and those bitches They're not the avid fans of Survivor that they are claiming to be. If they are they would know how to separate the game from the real world. Get over it, bitches. And get over, Arnold!

Survivor Philippines Celebrity Doubles Showdown: The Volcanoes

The challenges and drama are heating up on week two of Survivor Philippines Celebrity Doubles Showdown.

The Volcanoes tandem of John and Arnold won the Immunity Challenge, Bola Bola, for the Bulan Tribe. These guys are beasts because they are also largely to thank for the Bulan tribe's victory in the Reward Challenge earlier.

The drama all came down during the Immunity Challenge, courtesy of Angelicopter, Jackie Forster and Isabel Granada. The ladies went up in arms, and even Angelicopter went inside the mud pit to "rescue" her tribe mate Carlo who was run over by the ball being maneuvered by Arnold from the Bulan tribe. Why did this happen? Obviously, because the challenge is very physical, adrenaline is running, and Carlo is trying to be great to the point of being stupid. Would you stand still even when you see a rampaging boulder coming towards you?

Angelicopter, Jackie and Isabel cannot understand this and cried foul, calling Arnold "masamang tao and other names." LOL… Say, what?! In a physical challenge and in a game like Survivor, you get banged and you get bruised. If you can't imagine getting hurt or going hungry, open your Facebook account and play CafĂ© World or Farmville.

Those three irk me because they are the types of women who fight for equal rights and opportunities for women, but who are also ready to raise the gender card to fight their battles. Why wouldn't Arnold talk back or say shut up, when all you three were shouting him to death? Just because you're women?! Ten steps back for the Women Empowerment!!

Next time on Survivor Philippines, they're voting out two people. I hope one of them is Angelicopter or Ellen Adarna. The former is bossy and mouthy, and the latter is a downlow, sneaky little bitch.

Noooooooooooooo!










Not before I've seen them person!!!

The massive billboards along Guadalupe featuring the members of the Philippine Volcanoes National Rugby Team have been pulled down upon orders by city mayor Benhur Abalos.

He is liberal and he's not a moralist, says the mayor, but he moved to have the billboards taken down because he has received so many complaints.

One of those complainants is Valenzuela major Sherwin Gatchalian, ex of this blog's dumb bitch of the day Pauleen Luna.

Sherwin texted the mayor about him having to put his hands over his nieces' eyes to shield her innocent eyes from those massive thingies on the models' underwears.

First, Sherwin, way to go. You just let your niece know that she's not supposed to see something over that bridge in Guadalupe. So now she's on the computer behind your back trying to look up those "forbidden" images.

Second, Sherwin, if you really had to ask to have those menswear billboards remove, why don't you also have those giant billboards of female models in two-piece bikinis removed. Hypocrite!

Third, Sherwin, those Philippine team members have foreign blood that's why it's not just the size of the billboards that were massive. Just, fyi.

And that lady passerby interviewed on GMA-7 who was asking that billboards have lessons to learn in them. Anak ng!!!! Obviously subliminal messages on advertisements failed on her.

I want eye candies on my print ads, not life lessons. If I want to enrich my mind, not my eyes, I'd grab a book. No, the lady should grab a book. Maybe then she'd find a clue.
