The First Pinoy Sole Survivor is…
I am a fan of Survivor Philippines. I’ve watched it from Day 1 and now that the Final 3 are the only ones left, I am anticipating the outcome. The last episode which is the reunion and announcement of winner will be aired on December 12. My guess is that JC Tiuseco will become the first Pinoy Sole Survivor!
In every episode ever since the merge, you can just feel the intensity of his game. You can see the determination, the urge to win. He gives his best in every game, be it a reward or immunity challenge. How many immunity challenges has he already won anyway? Plus, he’s never betrayed a tribemate. Unlike what Cris Cartagenas and Kaye Alipio did to their former Naak tribemate, Kiko Rustia.
Watching the Tribal Council last night, I was annoyed with Cris and the jury members for laughing at Rob Sy. First of all, jury members of the US Survivor do not react the way the jury members react here. Jury members here are hecklers. I am really wondering why they are not being told to react to a minimum. Marlon Carmen, that hated guy, even laughs like he wants to roll on the floor. Tsk tsk tsk… Rob is actually an intelligent person much like Charisse Yacapin. They used their brains instead of muscles to be where they are right now, in the Final 3. Rob allied with JC, the strongest in the Chalam (merged) tribe. He made sure that JC knows that Rob will never betray their alliance, thus gaining the former’s trust. Charisse, on the other hand, use her wiles to worm her way to the former Naak tribemates’ alliance. She befriended Kaye first, then Rob and JC. She made sure that she was always seen as an ally by the two, thus earning their reluctant trust. Cris, meanwhile, made those “ampaw” snide comments towards Rob, instead of pleading his case and invoking that “For the boys” alliance of the former Naak males. Stupid move!
I read that Paolo Bediones, host of Survivor Philippines, told the local press people that the final immunity challenge will be aired this Monday, December 8. The Final Three who will compete are: JC Tiuseco, Rob Sy and Charisse Yacapin (the only one left standing of the former Jarakay tribe).
THE SOLE PINOY SURVIVOR IS… JC TIUSECO! That’s my fearless forecast
