It was an explosive tribal council (TC). People thought it reached critical mass when Richard addressed the "whining" and complaints of the Tala tribe. But it was the sudden exit (or should we say quitting?) of Jackie and Angelicopter that ended the episode with a big bang.
It seemed we were already being conditioned when Jackie and Angeli had a "session" with the island counselor after the immunity challenge. Doc must have been exhausted after consecutive days of "treating" the other CAs or was she busy helping Gen we're really not sure.
Mama Bel (Maria Isabel Lopez) has spun a few tales so I guess that one story got to Jackie and Angeli's nerves. It ate up every morale fiber in their body and it was spreading like a cancer/disease.
The questioning was well structured. From asking if the tribe was ok. To how Tala lost to a physically dominating tribe. The intensity of emotions Jackie and Angeli shown during the challenge. When some perceived Mama Bel as a cancer to the tribe. Then Mama Bel complimented Carlo as a good player.
Suddenly before the vote...Boom! Richard wants to address Tala's whining. It turns out Tala has been the tribe with the most complaints in any season. If Tara from season 2 was on this tribe she would be eligible for ms congeniality. One guesses since the castaways (CA) have no access to their twitter accounts, they just commented the old fashion way: complain and whine to the production staff. The same production staff that some Tala CAs have pointed out that should have provided the fairness and safety to all CAs.
Well, the castaways were honest enough to tell Richard what they were whining about. Jackie complained about fairness since they had to take a 15 minute walk to get to the challenge area. Filo then feared for their safety ever since the boat incident. So would one brave the seas again or take a less stressful hike? Hey there is always Richard's sea plane when Tala goes down to 4 tribemates.
But in the end, Richard challenged them to toughen up. So to fill in the blanks on Richards statement: "If you like pampering, you should've joined *****. Was he referring to Stef's statement that people join FB (if you don't like backstabbing)? Was he referring to twitter, since you can do it while being pampered in a spa? Or was he referring to another reality show which explains a lot since one should not promote a show from a rival network which is why there was the blurred mouth and muted part?
On the lighter side, one is relieved to know that shooing of snakes is not part of the job description of being a member of the production staff. Otherwise, a lot of CAs would have been driven off their camps.
For a few minutes, it was kind of suspicious what Jackie and Angeli were whispering to each other when Richard announced it was time to vote. Was Angeli conferring which pair was going? Then the big revelation from the pair was that they would no longer continue on the game. Richard did his best to explain that they would be quitting and did give them a chance to explain why they were doing it. Jackie thought that the game was making her do something she didn't her children wouldn't be proud off. Angeli being the loyal friend supported the decision to quit though they said they could have went on and were undaunted of the other challenges.
So following in the steps of Geneva from Bulan, their name tags were taken off from their torches and thrown near the campfire pit. Added to that, they were not given the honor of getting their torches snuffed before taking their walk of shame and exit interview. Like what Richard said, there's no room for quitters.
This was certainly a big blow to Tala. They lost a huge advantage from the exit of Jackie and Angeli. Mama Bel is still in the game and gets to use the immunity bracelet for another TC. This means another few days to spin more tales and to the dread of Ellen, spread her cancer/disease. Since Mama Bel can't sit out two consecutive challenges, they'll have to find the best way to put her on the rotation of players. A she stays longer, the more info she can feed to Bulan through the Nippongo connection with Mara.
While there's a lot of things to digest for this episode, a lot of questions still hang in the air. Would Mama Bel follow suit and quit before using her immunity? Will Tala have the same string of bad luck Bulan had in the beginning? Would Ellen call upon the medic team to extract the disease/cancer in their tribe? Will Betong and Maey ever get to participate in TC when their tribemates have been conversing in English? They were awfully silent but so was Chuckie and Arthur.
So tomorrow the tribes get a surprise visit from Ms Anabel Rama and Ruffa Gutierez. Well keeping up with the Gutierez family could be a good spin off show coming from this season. Its dance dance revolution challenge and the castaways would have to shake their tail feathers to get the reward. Till then, we can monitor the posts in twitter and FB.

I agree tribo that as a good fan of the show, its disappointing to see that CAs quit. Its harder to accept that they walked out of the game not because of any physical injuries. The most difficult for a fan to even tolerate is that CAs question the nature of the game and the capability of the production team.
I guess some of the bitter CAs will quiet down in the twitter world because viewers already know the truth that they quit and that there should be no more for quitters in twitter. :))
tama lang ang ginawa nila. nakikita naman na thsi season napaka unfair ng show. kitang kita naman. naging pabaya. pasensya na..
jackie and angelicopter seemed strong contenders.and i'm so disappointed they quit and throwing the blame to the organizers way of handling their situations... ang tuwa lang ng ibang CAs dahil they made Tala's first night of elimination so easier
I think Mama Bel is playing her game very well... let's see if she can do more damage on Tala tribe.. .
hahaha rev, monitoring post in fb and twitter.
Mamabel's tales did her good, this is exactly what she want -demoralize tala. Poor jackie and angelicopter, they seem to be aware of the disease but instead of fighting it back they chose to let it grow instead.
no room for quitters!!. i read in twitter that the reason behind them quitting is to make a point. uhmmm, what point is there in quitting? so far sp4 status is 15 i.survive, 2 i.voted-out, and 3 i..... what am i.doing here? hehe
"Will Betong and Maey ever get to participate in TC when their tribemates have been conversing in English? "
Love this one! As for quitters, whatever point they are trying to make got lost in the collective disgust the Survivor fans felt at their decision.
Mamabel's psy-war is incredibly effective.
mega taray-tarayan si jackie and angelicopter, simpleng statements lang from mama bel lang pla katapat nila ahahahaha pina-ikot sila ng bonggang bongga
@ANONYMOUS "tama lang ang ginawa nila. nakikita naman na thsi season napaka unfair ng show. kitang kita naman. naging pabaya. pasensya na.."
what do u mean? have u seen po ba yung ibang survivors? i remember watching survivors outback, galing sila from tribal council, on their way back sa camp nila, bumaha sa lakas ng ulan, lahat as in lahat ng gamit nila tinanggay. pero hndi naki-alam production
then yung survivor na kasali si elizabeth hasselbeck, yung isa nila ka tribe, nahilo sa usok, bumagsak sya dun sa mismong siga, ang tumulong sa kanya ka tribe din nya, naki-alam nlang ang production nung dadalin na sya sa hospital
i think, compared sa ibang survivors, malambot p nga survivors dito sa atin, kasi sa kanila, umiinom sila ng tubig na kahit pakuluan nila lasa pa ding putik (daw), dito sa atin nilalagay sila sa mga malapit sa puede na nila maging pagkain
#fact
1.mamabel is the highest form of cancer. dishing away the tala members one by one.in the classic sleek way. she didnt walk the Cannes red carpet for nothin.
2.same as pilya, i really don't get their point neither?
3.angelicopter even tweeted that yes, rebutted by disgusted fans
angelicopter899 Angelika Schmeing
@survivorphils4 one sided?
4.and wala sila sa kalingkingan ni aubrey miles. when i asked her how was the treatment of PD as the quitters claimed:
realaubreymiles aubrey miles:
@LyraYoo naku lahat ng meron silang dangerous meron kami but we didn't talk abt it kasi intindi namin yung laban haha
5.when you quit, you don't deserve the CASTAWAY to fill in your profile. specially when you quit not because you got injured or what. quitting because of whining? what a shame.
first i wanna ask when she said "i dont want other people to see me as a bad person"....then what about the twits te?
second when u say they are putting ur life in danger did they intentionally put the snakes near ur camp or was the crew responsible for the boat incident? ang alam ko kasi this is survivor from the name itself of the show u should be surviving and trying to live a life outside ur comfort zone.
third, the bitterness that "others" are showing now thru twitter is it because napaikot sila ni mamabels?they always say n d kapanipaniwala si mamabels yet every story she tells ay ngpawindang ng todo sa pagiisip nila?
fourth i honestly dont like the whining and the bitterness but them quitting is really disappointing.
and lastly, d ko man lang narining sila betong and mhaey na nasaglita sa TC,nkahinga kaya sila ng maluwag after,not because d sila navote out,kundi dahil di sila kinausap ni richard at naiwasan ang nosebleed? :))
lablab mamabels laugh!
the 3 simple basic formula to survive the game:
outplay - mostly dominated by the muscular/athletic CAs
outwit - those who use their sharp mind to psyche out their opponents
outlast - combo of the 2 perhaps but mostly through the alliances formed
clearly, angeli-(who?) and balye... i mean jackie dont fit in in any of the above. they already have a solid alliance with the other TALAK tribemates but they know they can't outlast those who know how to play the game.
and to quote annabel rama - "wag magquit. kabobohan yun day!" hahahaha

Angelicopter and Jackie's decision to quit is right as the SP's host goaded them to make spur of the moment decisions. Asking CAs if they want to quit instead of starting the vote is not in SP's agenda that night. Comparison to another show is unwarranted. Good his mom and sister came to the rescue later or else the rest of level minded Tala's will decide to quit also. The host should exhibit level mindedness always and not charge the already stressful CAs

Yeah I agree with you their decision to quit is right but BUT THEIR DECISION TO JOIN SURVIVOR WAS A BIG MISTAKE. HINDI PALA NILA ALAM KUNG ANO YUNG PINASOK NILA DAPAT DI NA SILA SUMALI
Wow. So now blame the host?
Richard was right in putting them in their place. If Richard didnt say any of those, they would even forget they are in survivor.
You put street children there and they would last longer than everyone in TALA put together.
Waste of everyone's time having to quit. They keep on telling everyone about values but walang hiyang nang bubully sa twitter from the start of the airing of this show.
agree with you 1:38... at anong value naituro nila sa mga anak nila when they attempted to steal mama bel's IB? and did you notice jackie's action when she was berating arnold aninion? grabe ghetto girl ang dating ng balyena with matching duro-duro kay arnold. e kung ka-tribe kaya nila si arnold ganun din kaya magiging reaction nila? at sobrang napahiya lang ung angelicopter(who?) nung sinita sya ni richard ng umepal sya sa mud ball challenge, kaya nga feeling nila unfair si host. then lalo pa napahiya when richard said sa TC na next time it happens, magbibigay sya ng violation. woot! galing na ni richard, improved talaga
Betong and Maey are like cash deposit to survivor, they are the simplest form of deposit. you get what see in them, no clearing days -they'll just go straight to the account. Kc, the volcanoes and mara are manager's check, they're as good as cash with bank assurance to back them up. ellen, filo, angelicopter and jackie are checks with high amount, they promised you payment but days after the deposit...... they BOUNCED! toot toot DRAWN AGAINST INSUFFICIENT FUND!
and mamabel.. she's an online deposit - a fund transfer. no hassle in going to the bank, she just landed on your account and you're like WHOA! :D
hahaha, brilliant analogies pilya especially on the 4 bouncing checks.... no wonder theyre as irrelevant as yesterday's gossips.
go mamabel, go mara, go bulan!!!! i'm loving stef prescott who never whined and chose to stay despite her 2nd degree burns. she's a real trouper and gma network should be kinder to her and give her more projects.
as to the quitters...... hmmm, except for jackie who never really shine in her "20-yr showbiz (cough hing but cough) career, the other 3 are virtually non-existent.... so who are they again? well at least give it to them for achieving their 15 minutes... or okay, make it 6 days of fame. too bad half of the time they were on screen, we saw nothing else but whining and pure meanness especially on the part of the hubaderang starlet, that ellen-who?
