Episode 19: Niña, Leaves Undefeated; Tough Times for Naak

Thursday, October 9, 2008

It was Marlon who found the body paint for Jarakay. The body paint was to be used for the immunity challenge. Charisse rationalized that their kidnapping of Kiko might work for their advantage. She said, "Getting Kiko, it's a good decision. Whether it would be a mental challenge or a physical challenge, he's very very strong. So i think it will work to our advantage."

However, in spite of the fact that Kiko is with Jarakay, at least for the day, he has explicitly confessed his affiliation for Naak. He said, "My thoughts are always with Naak. I may be here, physically, but my spirit, my heart, my loyalty, naiwan sa Naak."

At the Naak tribe, the fun continued. In spite of the rain, and their body paints being washed away, the Naak tribe indicated that they are ready for the challenge.

When both teams arrived at the challenge area, JC was welcomed back to the Naak tribe.

Paolo then fetched Nina to the surprise of everyone, asking what went wrong. Niña said while she cried, "As much as i want to stay, yung toe ko ayaw e. I have a fractured toe. Although maliit lang suya na injury, it requires casting and it cannot be wet. As explained to me, marami pang challenges na susunod, na hindi ko naman puwedeng tatakbo ako na dala-dala ko ito, di ba? Hindi na rin ako puwedeng maglangoy, ganoon."

But before the tearful goodbyes, Chris offered Naak's gift, "Sabay pala tayo magka-birthday. happy birthday. August 5 ako e." Niña asked what the gift was. he said, "Ulam para sa Jarakay" as everyone, except Marlon, gave an applause.
 
She added, "At least, di ba, di naman ako na vote out. Thank you Naak. Thank you for the camaraderie. Di ko man kayo lubusan nakilala, lahat kayo dahil hindi tayo nagkasama. Thank you, you have been very good competitors."

And even Nanay Zita was heartbroken saying, "Magpaalam ka sa akin ha."

Niña continued, "Sa Jarakay, Jarakay naman ako all the way. I wish i could stay with you longer pero hindi talaga puwede e." She then proceeded to hug everyone, hugging Nanay Zita the longest as the two ladies cried.

Paolo then thanked Niña, "Niña, isang malaking karalangan na makasama ka sa Survivor Philippines. Pinatunayan mo na isa kang totoong mandirigma dito sa ating laro. Ingat ka."

Nina further stated that she won't be able to compare her experience, while in the island, with any other, "hindi man ako nakarating sa dulo, hindi man ako naging sole survivor, it's not the prize, it's not the money. It's the privilege of having been through such...nag sacrifice ka, nag challenge ka, nakisama ka, nakibagay ka. Tsaka legacy ko na yon."

Then Paolo proceeded to give each tribe a bunch of bananas. And to everyone's surprise (especially Marlon's) Paolo announced that the immunity challenge was to push through.

The games

The game's objective was to score two points first. Each tribe needed to bring a giant wooden ball to the end of the swamp (their goal) and win a point.

The first players were three women each. Veronica, Charisse, and Nikki played for Jarakay. Nanay Zita, Vehv, and Kaye for Naak. Nanay Zita and Vehv were left without defense from the Jarakay tribe and easily brought their ball to their goal. Naak 1, Jarakay 0.
The next players were three men each. Jc, Rob, and Chris played for Naak. Marlon, Jace, and John for Jarakay. It was a neck and neck game but Jarakay won this round. Naak 1, Jarakay 1.

The next set of players needs two women and one man for each tribe. John stayed at the corner as he shivered in the cold. Nanay Zita, Vehv, and Rob for Naak, Charisse, Jace, and Veronica for Jarakay. This time, each team were required to bring a home run for the two balls in order to get a point.

It was during this match that Rob and Marlon had a shouting match. Marlon was coaching Charisse that she instead ride the ball. Rob shouted that that was not allowed. Paolo said, "bawal sakyan ang bola" so in order to settle the issue. Marlon then asked back why Rob was angry.
"Hindi ako nagagalit!" was Rob's reply.

Marlon continued to irk Rob while Kiko told off Marlon, "Tama na. Huwag mo na gatungan kasi. Ginagatungan mo pa eh." Marlon answered back, "Bakit? Bawal ba yon?"

As a recourse, Kiko addressed Rob, "Mind on the game Rob. Hayaan mo na." and while looking towards Marlon, "Huwag mo nang gatungan."

It was a physical game and jarakay brought home their first ball for the third match...
And then their second... Winning them the immunity idol.

Paolo then reiterated that Kiko will be with Naak during tribal council but he won't be able to vote nor be voted.

The preview

During tribal council, Paolo said, "bukod kay Kiko, may ilang bisita pa tayo dito sa tribal council. Papasok na sila."
