It was an interesting tribal council (TC) not because it was another episode-long drawn out TC discussion. It was interesting in the sense that John was blindsided by his "three kings" alliance of KC and Gino. Stef was finally with a group/alliance of sorts who valued her role in TC. I guess John's exit was written in the stars after all when Betong and Maey, former Tala tribe members, sealed his fate by casting their votes against the Philippine Volcano player.
But before anything else...HAPPY NEW YEAR! My apologies for not updating during the holidays. Survivor Philippines is usually over in the second week of December (ok thats not a good excuse). The only updates I could say was that Arthur was previously voted out and now living with Chuckie under one roof (the jury house that is). Arnold is on a winning streak in immunity challenges. Who knew that John's win in the reward challenge was his last? At least the three guys (John, Arnold, and Betong) are aware what "body scrubs" covers or rather uncovers the next time they visit a spa.
Back on the TC, it looked like KC was the Nostradamus as he foresaw votes being cast against him. John had the same "intuition" skills of Ms. Star Gazer when it came to reading castaways he could or couldn't trust. Sorry Johnny, Stef was right by saying some people get "played" in this game.
KC and his alliance showed a cool little trick in voting. The rest of his alliance voted John while he voted Mara just in case immunity bracelets be used for John or Mara. John would probably have voted KC instead of Stef if he felt he was on the chopping block.
For Betong and Maey, another TC without their names being written. Most importantly, they are in an alliance that has the majority.
I thought Mara "gambled" in not using her immunity bracelet. But it did pay off as she only had one vote. Richard had a challenge of his own tallying votes of four castaways (John, KC, Stef, and Mara).
By the way, this episode was brought to you by the letters A & J (as seen by Ms. Star Gazer) and the number 4 (votes John got).

at this point it's ok to remain passive in the camp unlike what john did. he made himself an open target by talking to everyone how he distrusts arnold and mara prompting maey to say that it's not wise of john to talk bad about his friend arnold. and john paid the price for that. he should have sided with arnold and mara and voted for kc instead but he distanced himself from them, a very wrong move indeed
Here's my analysis on what went down:
KC has two alliances going prior to Tribal Council: (1) Gino-KC-John and (2) Steph-Maey-Bentong-KC-Gino........ either way, KC knew that he will not be voted out as only Arnie and Mara will vote for him.......
John thought that Mara will go home no matter what as he thought Gino-KC-Stef-Maey-Bentong will vote her out to weaken the alliance of Arnie and Mara..... However, he doesn't want to hurt Arnie so he randomly voted for Stef...
Now, why did KC voted for Mara? KC knew that Stef, Maey, Bentong will vote for John for sure as that is their blindside plan.... However, KC want to preserve his alliance with John and Gino just in case something crumbles and John will end up not voted out (KC no longer trust Gino either). So, his safe bet was to vote for Mara and force a tie between John (voted out by Stef, Maey, Bentong) and Mara (John-KC-Gino)... and KC hopes that Mara uses her idol to outst John... but in the end, Gino fulfilled his promise to Stef and voted John out...
KC did a smart move for securing a vote from John in case he becomes part of the final 3, because John is now pissed at Stef-Maey-Bentong-Gino for blindsiding him...
I guess KC learns how to play this game thru his sister-in-law ... but I doubt he will make it to final three--- he's just too strong for that..... watch for all girls final 3.. just my gut...

Love the Star Gazer jab.She'a something else, but psychic, she is not.
Wala na talaga yatang maisip na activities para sa mga demi-celebs kaya kung anu-ano na lang ang ibinabatong ek-ek sa kanila.
survivor addict, si KC may alter ego na Cassandra. So pwede pa rin siya sa final 3. Hehehe.
KC wanted the three kings to be intact but John was flip-flopping.
Arnold was probably hoping Maey and Betong would vote with them against KC but he was more shocked that John was the target all along.
Both Mara and Arnie are safe in the next TC as they have immunity bracelets.
If Betong and Maey play their tandem well, they can end up with Gino or Stef in the final 3.
nobody, except Mara will trust Arnold. IF somebody will take his side that is out of necessity. wouldn't it be a poetic justice if Arnold wins all the immunity challenges until the final 3 or two and then he didn't get the Ultimate Survivor vote?
if it's all girl final 3, i would hate to see Mara win. that girl is an airhead. she belittles the ones who fail the challenges before her, specially Stef, then she always has ready excuse when it's the other way around. i'm tired of her "i'm strong because i'm a surfer" statement.
well, for me an airhead who shows physical strength is a lot better than a trash-talker who does nothing to prove he/she is worthy of his/her self-praises. that's why between mara and stef, i will choose mara anytime as she is always the last girl standing in the last 2 immunity challenges. of course the guys are much stronger than her but she has proven that she can compete with the best and does not merely rely on alliances to save her a$$ during TC. sure maey and stef may reach it to the finals but in my mind i hate to see someone winning the title without even exerting any real effort. and if stef is really wise, she wouldn't take maey with her to the top 2 as she is bound to lose with the much-weaker but highly-sociable and likeable maey..... so i would say, stef is the key challenger in this game.
and as for poetic justice ona rnold winning all the IC but losing on the finals... not a distant possibility but still he could win if he will be pitted against gino who at this point may have already earned the ire of jurors arthur and john and God knows who else.... remember, we still have 6-7 weeks left to see what happened in the island and from the looks of it, gino is mr. nice-guy-no-more... PS: i really want arnold to win :)
survivor is not only a physical game. It is also a game how of shifting alliances. But what Johnny done to his old alliance right now is a wrong move. Betraying your alliance. It's more fun in survivor!
hay salamat! akala ko inactive na tong blog na to. tenchu tenchu!:)
-nestorcot.
Start of eliminating physically strong players. Sayang naman. If only John did not betray his alliance. Malamang nyan d weak players -Steff, Mae & Betong will dominate tribal council. Walang kwenta pag ganun.
Trash talker & pikon Stef should be voted off ASAP. Walang kwenta ang ugali nyan.
mara: always tingin sa sarili nya magaling at maganda sya.she hate steff kasi daw maarte,talk trasher.eh sya?...pahinhin pakuwari so the boys could notice her.
steff: talktrasher,maarte,makulit.but atleast...she is she.walang pagprepretend.para nga lang ayang bata na naglalaro sa survivor eh.
but wala akong gustong manalo kundi si maey...or bentong.this two are my bet.
