No, its not a misprint. The "diwata ng gubat" could have been mistaken as a goddess by the folklore gods Apolaki, Bulan, and Tala. It was a great choice to have her make a guest appearance since SP already made its apocalyptic announcement that the "End is Near" (Feb 10, 2012 to be exact). So yeah, if we are gonna party like its 2012, who better to rock this season ender than Solenn. The castaways did have a positive response to her presence (compared to Aubrey's survey segment) much to the delight of KC and probably Betong's best "Nga nga" moment of the season (did he drool? not sure).

But before we end up making this blog a shrine to Solenn, we briefly interrupt this post with this short intermission...HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAPPY CAMPER! Kudos for another job well done for this season. May the tribe grow bigger and stronger.

KC and Steff continued to have a taste of the good life: endless snorkeling, a tour of the pearl farm, great food, a ridiculous bubble bath and a soothing massage. Don't forget the helicopter ride back to camp. Palawan showcases itself as an alternative playground for both the adventurous and laid back tourist.

Finally Mara finishes her cross-stitch letter to Arnie. If there were different colored threads, she may have attempted to cross-stitch an image of Arnie. She has already been dubbed as the "Crazy Lover".

She hasn't been "crazy" in doing camp chores. Can't blame her since she did admit being depressed. That also leads to the urge to eat more of the limited camp food and long naps/sleep. Unfortunately, that earned her the monicker of "Mara Tamadera" thanks to KC.

Maey and Betong have started to have fun again even if they were slightly distracted by Mara's antics. They even delved into palm reading Mara while taking small jabs through jokes about the immunity bracelet and Mara's "pawnshop" mentality.

But I guess the staff felt it was unfair that KC and Stef were having so much fun while the remaining castaways were well...had to deal to a lot of things (meaning Mara). So what better way to have an ice breaker than to have a great Easter egg hunt. I enjoyed Betong's "egg dance" after finding one ostrich egg (which I mistaken for Iglot). Not to be outdone, I was entertained with Maey's own version of the "egg dance" when Mara found the second ostrich egg (which I thought was Iglot's sibling). It was a good stress reliever also for the crew and staff.

Gino had a session with doc Ali. Of course he was still steaming off from his unexpected departure from the game. But he was then in tears when doc showed him a picture from home and a letter. Doc Ali could be the next Oprah or Ellen with all these teary eyed moments she's been able to have from her "guests".

KC and Stef's return could have been something from a shampoo or soap commercial. Everyone wanted to touch their hair (ok Stef's hair no offense to KC) and smell their bubble bathed bodies. It could also have been a laundry soap ad since their clothes were freshly cleaned.

If Isabel Granada was still in the island, it would have brought tears to her eyes. Maey was successful to have an "open forum" with the tribe about how she handled the immunity bracelet situation. She admitted it was her fault alone to accept and give it back to Mara. Ok so thats water under the bridge? Not sure but only time will tell. Probably sooner since tribal council is a day a way.

Speaking of tribal councils, Stef has planted a seed of doubt in Mara's pretty little head. Good work for Stef on making Mara assume that her pearl necklace is an immunity bracelet. Poor Betong and Maey, they only have ostrich egg shells as would be immunity accessories. Stef's bluff may end her up on the top 3 in which KC hopes he will be part of it too (along with Mara).

What a way to end the week with Solenn gracing SP with her presence. Mara was gleeful for another reason: hotdogs, marshmallows, and hot choco. Solenn gave her two cents about choosing the sole survivor: don't emotions dictate who to chose as the sole survivor. That means chose the one who outplayed, outwit, and outlast. Emotions always run high in the jury and one sometimes wonder if it judging was more on being biased rather than being objective.

Finally, the castaways are amazed that Solenn has no complaints in camp life. She puts to shame those who have one point or the other voiced out their difficulty in camp life.

In the next episode, a bev of beauties take a dip in the water. KC does not want to miss out in this opportunity.

Stef and KC get their tour around Palawan via a helicopter. It was their first time to have a helicopter tour and no other than Richard joined them in the trip.

In the island resort, they were greeted with puka shell necklaces and welcome drinks of...buko juice! I think KC wouldn't want to see a coconut when this season is over. But even if it was their day of rest, there was no better time to strategize. Poor Maey, it seems the two have agreed that she would be next in the chopping block then Betong. This would give KC a good chance to win if it came to a final three since he would be competing with: 1) Stef who was a follower most of the time and 2) Mara who people felt was just got a free ride because of Arnie up to this point.

Betong and Maey were also strategizing in camp while Mara was cross-stitching a message to Arnie. Pens are so season 3. Well, Betong and Maey knew that one of them would be voted out next and Betong felt it would be better if he was the one to go.

Arnie gets a visit from doc Ali who surprised him with a picture and letter from his family. No one knows if Mara knew this part about Arnie but she was pretty much missing him the whole time.

KC and Stef gets a tour of the pearl farm. Stef was like a kid in a candy store. A P 15,000 to 40,000 per pearl candy store. They did get some sort of souvenirs from the management.

Late at night while Mara was cross-stitching a novel for Arnie, she had an encounter with centipedes and rats. Betong was amused that the first thing Mara did was protect her bag. Betong suspected the immunity bracelet was there and Mara was afraid their uninvited guests would steal it. Funny girl.

Mara was described having a future by putting up a tailor shop or a pawnshop. Why not both?

Betong and Maey did made one last pitch to get the immunity back by talking to Mara. Of course Mara wasn't gonna give it away since this would be the last time it could be used in a tribal council. Ok, she also said that the immunity bracelet was her only friend after Arnie was taken away from her. Besides, bracelets don't backstab or blindside you. They would have a better chance in prying the bracelet from her dead cold fingers.

Well, at least Betong and Maey tried. Its now up to Stef and KC if they truly want to team up with Mara or they go and "steal" the immunity bracelet. We will soon find out.
