Tribal Council Part 1

Our dear Rev made a threat that if Retzard did not swear at the first TC, he won’t write a review, so now you’re getting me instead. Kindly bear with me. But I do recall that the host DID swear. When he was talking about Geneva’s quitting, he said it was a “waste of s!ut”. That’s a swear word, right?

But I’m getting ahead of myself here. Let’s backtrack a bit. After a lengthy dialogue by Mamabel, practically pleading to be voted out, she was having a Royal Change Of Mind of some sorts. She said she will write down the name of the one she thinks is most useless and brainless. Afterall, part of the game is outwit, and if you don’t have much of a wit, then you really don’t belong there. Then this Gino dude started revealing Stef’s effort to build alliances with the girls. So I guess he’s feeling out of place and started making nice to the other boys plus Mara. Hmmm. I’m a but suspicious about this.

And how about Mara, is she really making goo-goo eyes at John? That’s sweet, but unfortunately John saw her as a little sister. Hmmm v2. Could this be the reason why Mamabel had a change of heart about leaving? If not her, Alyssa & Aifa are good candidates for getting the heave-ho. More so for Alyssa. It’s not really a good strategy (if she is capable of one) to annoy one of the stronger tribemates. Even if he lost his immunity idol (Homer Simpson moment here), he’s fairly secure with his Power 5 alliance. Will they start wearing color-coded spandex, you think?

Meanwhile, in Tala, their first win gave them such possitive vibes even though the hunger pangs are constantly there. Maey & Betong are such scene stealers. It was fun to watch Maey screaming her heart out while grabbing at the tiny crabs. Betong is still struggling with his English, but at least, his vocabulary has expanded. He can now say more than just “amazing”, but the nosebleed is still there. The two comedienes may not be the strongest nor the most nimble but their contribution of humor to Tala is palpable.

And then FINALLY, we get to the first TC. Having Geneva quit early gave them a reason to stretch the first 3 or 4 days. Afterall, why kick out 2 in a week when the show is trending in spite of sabotage from bitter rivals & their corny set-ups, (can you spell FAKE?)? And that is when Retzard mouths off about Geneva’s early, explosive exit. We found out from KC that he went into Survivor to play the game and Geneva just wanted to get love-dovey on the island. Heh. Well, it wasn’t exactly a beach resort, wasn’t it? So who got the vote-out? We’ll have to waitfor another episode, at least I hope so.

AnT not bad for your first write this season. Nakakabitin na TC, it could take the whole week to see the 2nd CA to leave the island (Geneva owned the first week) but ka-abang-abang ang sasabihin ni Aifa who the weakest link sa Bulan, she could say it's herself but I could swear her eyes is looking at Alyssa's way, we could only guess at this time. Up to this point SP4 has made us want to stay home every weeknights.

Great post. Tuloy-tuloy na natin ang pag contribute dito. :) Bentong and Maey said they had nose bleed defect. :)) Para maintindihan ng dalawa ay mag Filipino ako. Maganda ang set ng TC. Pero sana makakita pa tayo ng marami pang "Filipino" references sa TC. First time ang SP sa pinas kay sana na sulit.

Kakatuwa ang multi colored spandex reference. Power Rangers nga. Ahahaha! Gino is doing power moves pero suspicious nga. Divide and conquer kaya tactic ni Stef at Gino. Na mamangka sa dalawang ilog. Mga anak ng pasig naman kayo! :))

Kung pwede lang sanang mag-like ng commens dito. Heh-heh, over-FB na ako. For me, the best TC structure is still Season 1. Love the details and the fact that it's on water.
