Castaway Niña Ortiz thought she only had a minor injury but Thai doctors told her she needed to put her foot in a cast that is prohibited from getting wet. With this development, the Sporty Mom needed to end her stint in Survivor Philippines.
In Thursday night's episode, Niña and JC Tiuseco were both brought to the hospital to check on their injuries; Niña's fractured toe and JC's infected foot.
Both Niña and JC returned to the Devil's Island before the start of the Immunity Challenge but with different purposes. JC remained in the game and was given the option to participate in the challenge while Niña sadly informed all the castaways that she had to leave the game because of her injury.
"Much as I want to stay, ang toe ko ayaw. I have a fractured toe. Mahirap para sa akin ang magpaalam sa inyo," said an emotional Niña. "All of you are very good competitors. Jarakay naman ako all the way."
She hugged all of the remaining castaways before the two tribes, Naak and Jarakay, went on with their Immunity Challenge called the "Giant Ball Challenge."
Before Niña left, Survivor Philippines host Paolo Bediones praised her and told her, "Pinatunayan mong isa kang totoong mandirigma."
For her farewell message, Niña told viewers: "Itong experience ko dito sa island, hindi ko maikukumpara sa kahit anong experience. Mahirap [ito] i-describe. Hindi man ako na nakarating sa dulo, hindi man ako naging Sole Survivor, it's not the prize, it's the privilege of having gone through...yung nag-sacrifice ka, naki-challenge ka, nakisama ka, legacy ko na yun."
Niña has one consolation: she was not voted off by her fellow Jarakay tribemates.
The Jarakay tribe won in the Immunity Challenge Thursday night, which means someone from Naak tribe will be going home on Friday's episode. But Paolo announced that a twist will transpire during the Tribal Council.
