Filipina Soul

This is the last episode of Survivor Philippines for this week. This was the castaways’ 5th day on the island. With the second immunity challenge over, and Jarakay bringing the immunity idol back to their camp, it only needs to be seen who among the Naak tribe will go home.

The 10th episode aired today Friday, September 26, 2008.

Tribes around the Fire

Around the fire, Kiko nursed his psychological wounds from what Jace did during the first round of the immunity challenge.

Vevh confronted Emerson for his hurtful words.

The Jarakay tribe was also around the fire, but with none of the tension in the other tribe. Patani regaled them with her ambitions of becoming a star, and how she will not change even if she becomes famous. Sasakay pa rin daw siya ng jeep. (She’s still going to ride jeepneys.) Patani was the star of the night, showcasing her dancing and acting talents. It was clearly a fun night for everyone, the first time that they laughed so hard. They were literally rolling around on the sand with laughter.

Naak Contemplates the Council

Discussions turned to the person who will be voted out in the Tribal Council. The various members gave their thoughts on their unnamed choices.

Emerson advised Cris that in the next challenges, they should just do what they want, and that Vehvs needed the prize much less than they did.

Their talk was interrupted when Vehv came back from crab-fishing with a bloody foot. Kiko helped her back into the camp and Kaye applied first aid to the wound.

Rob and Kaye clearly indicated their choice of who should go home. Kaye said “Wala nang iba, eh” (“There’s no one else”).

Emerson seemed to be making last-ditch efforts to make himself useful to the tribe, in order to protect himself from being voted out.

The Naak tribe became very emotional. Zita cried in Vehv’s arms, afraid that she (Zita) would be the one to be voted out.

The emotions continued to the tribal council. The tribe’s feeling about being defeated in the last challenge, and the tensions that they have been feeling within the tribe seemed to boil over in the council. Even the guys JC and Cris shed tears at the thought of having to see someone go.

As expected, Emerson and Vevherly voted to see each other out of the game. Zita’s vote was a surprise, and seemed to be based on who she thought the others wanted out.

In the end, Emerson became the second person to leave Survivor Philippines. In his farewell clip, Emerson was tearful and seemed to appeal to viewers not to judge him too harshly.
