Who knew having a decent Filipino vocabulary would give you three more days in the island? Steff Prescot had an unbelievable come from behind victory in the immunity challenge because of this 7 letter triple A word. KC who had an eternity to finish the word puzzle before Arnie and Mara got to their tables. I suggest these three guys get online tutorials with this dude above.

I haven't gotten around watching Mikey Bustos You Tube videos though I love his chicharon commercials. Anywho, since GMA got the guy to be here in the Philippines and he could teach a thing or two to other Fil-foreign celebrities especially in Filipino pick up lines.

At the start of the episode, the loveones were doing pretty well even with the hardships of camp life. The castaways got to ride the waves with a surfboard courtesy of Mara and her dad Hiroshi.

Hiroshi was a bottomless well of wisdom. He even certified Maey as having a bonafide surfer's body. Mara was seeking his dad's approval of Arnie. Hiroshi thought it was John because of how Mamabel kept talking about him. Before the season ends, it could be Betong for all we know. Ok, may be not.

Another picture tree mail was delivered. This was a much different clue since no one could decipher it as the table maze for the challenge.

I was wondering why the CAs kept saying there was not enough time to talk to those who came from the reward and it was like game time for the immunity challenge. Anyway, the challenge was pretty straight forward. I like it when the love ones start the challenge and let the castaways finish it off.

Steff's mom started out pretty well which might be the reason why Steff never gave up on the challenge. KC was way ahead of the pack thanks to the crazy table maze skills of Troy. Unfortunately solving tagalog word puzzles proved to be his weakness. What was insane was Arnold and Mara couldn't arrange the letters either. Hello! Star Gazer already said that there would be a letter A and in this case three As. Stef, Betong and Gino did catch up but Stef had already realized the mystery word even before she got to touch the letters. So Stef proved to herself and the tribe to be a winner and not an undeserving player that tags along.

Its really hard to say goodbye when the love ones and castaways were having so much fun. But everything has an end. I thought Mara was more sad to see her surfboard go. Arnold wanted to spend some time with Cris. Betong pleaded for his sister to lose weight.

Back in camp, Stef was enjoying her new found accessory: the immunity necklace. Some of the castaways were talking about Arnie and how he became hardworking in camp. But KC chided that Arnie was one step closer to wedding bells since he already talked to Mara's mom and dad.

Next episode, the jury and love ones get to party San Vicente style. More of the typical bayle (disco in the field) but Rochelle and Arthur seemed to have their patent dance routine. Some castaways are not buying to Arnie's efforts to gain their trust. But he probably would have to use his immunity bracelet and hope to win consecutive immunity challenges in the future.

He don't have an IB as it was lost when there were still in Bulan tribe. Only Mara has one.

Mara won't get voted off. That rope challenge was shown in the intro of survivor has not been shown yet. Arnie won't get voted off too, I think. It's too easy. What's usually shown on tv as a possible CA to be voted off wouldn't be the one voted off. Everyone was bashing him... the editors want to keep an element of surprise. I think this time it is KC. Cos if you backtrack to tweets, the moment Survivor was done Mara, Arnie, Stef, and Gino hung out a lot. That's my observation, at least. We''ll see.

thanks faith. can always depend on you. :)

Arnie got a new bracelet for winning that ring challenge for Bulan before the merge.

Yup the intro spoiler has been edited but most people already have "ideas" on who is safe.

The immunity bracelet is very crucial at this point of the game... Mara and Arnold can use that to their advantage to confuse the other cast-aways, and I believe they will do just that, which will result to Gino's eviction....

Scared of the use of immunity bracelet, the alliance of Stef, Gino, Bentong and Maey will persuade KC to join them and split their votes between Mara and Arnie..... 3 pts Arnie and 2 pts Mara----so that if Mara gives Arnie the bracelet, there will be a tie between Mara and whoever will Arnie and Mara votes.....

However, KC knows he is the 5th wheel in the alliance, and may not want to put his position in jeopardy specially if he feels that Arnie and Mara will target him.. so he might join a secret alliance with Arnie and Mara to vote for Gino..

So my forecast is:

Arnie 3 votes (not counted due to immunity bracelet given by Mara)
Mara 2 votes
Gino 3 votes (Arnie, Mara, KC)

So yeah.... the spoiler about Gino might be true......

no problem!

re: IB - he gave it to stef to vote out carlo, right?

January 14, 2012 4:19 PM

To faith: clap, clap, clap! Good memory!

I do think that the remaining IB (Mara's) will be played this next TC.

hey survivor_addict, great analysis! my thoughts:

-are we going to see another john-michelle play of the IB?

- arnie says he's gonna be a 'follower' from now on. at this point in the game? seriously?

- i love KC. it's not going to be as much fun without him because i'll miss his sarcasm (and im so tired of mara and stef's bickering).

-if im one of the castaways, i would not want kc with me come finals night. he's won challenges and has not stepped on anyone (so far except maybe john?). so kc, my man, play your cards right because you're in deep trouble

thanks AnT! i'm still hoping someone fished that lost IB (the very first one) from the ocean! hahaha

@reviewer22
faith was right!! The immunity bracelet won by Arnold was given to Stef so that Carlo would be voted off.
