Filipina Soul

If you haven’t caught on to the airing schedule of Survivor Philippines yet, it is shown 5 days a week. The episodes shown on Monday through Thursday are short ones compared to the one on Friday, when the Tribal Council is broadcast.

The 9th episode, which aired on Thursday, September 25, 2008, started with the immunity challenge.

Immunity Challenge #2

The challenge involves bringing back a Thai pillow that’s been buried in the sand. The pillow can be wrestled from the other person. The first pair, Kiko and Jace, cooperated to dig out the pillow together. They then wrestled in the sand, with a break for Jace to fix his shorts. But Jace took advantage of Kiko and ran off with the pillow, to give Jarakay the first point.

The second round had 2 girls and 2 guys from each tribe. Naak won this round by a toe. 3rd round went to Jarakay to give them a 1-point lead. (This challenge was like football in the sand.)

The 4th round involved everyone, but one (because the tribes were unequal in number). The ladies did the digging, while the guys hovered in the background like hulking guards.

The Win

The rules were supposed to be no hurting one another, but Veronica ended up with a bloody nose. Tribemates Emerson and Vevh had a verbal tiff of their own. Jace was pulled out for choking Rob. Cris and Gigit were also out for excessive roughhousing.

Meanwhile, on the sidelines, Cris and Vevh were having a talk. Vevh really had it out against Emerson.

Paolo had his job cut out for him, being the referee for this challenge. Finally, Naak’s Rob pulled the pillow out from under the pile of wrestling bodies. But Marlon pulled it (with Rob) onto the Jarakay mat.

Second immunity win for Jarakay!
