I am a BIG fan of the reality TV show Survivor. I wasn't able to watch the first season, though (we didn't have cable yet). But, after watching Survivor: Australian Outback, their second season, I was hooked!
Amanda didn't have a chance! Too bad, I liked her on Survivor: China. But she didn't have any real strategy so she was second place for 2 consecutive Survivor seasons. Wow, that's a record. Another record to break: Eric - dumbest survivor ever! So it was a really fun season to watch.src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
This coming Thursday (it will be aired here on Friday), the new season of my favorite Survivor will premiere - Survivor : Gabon. Everyone looks interesting. I hoped all the latest castaways watched past seasons of Survivor so they'll know what to do or 
not to do, what kind of people to avoid, and to not trust anyone. I just hate those people who get voted out and spit out all that self-righteous bullshit saying that people shouldn't sacrifice their principles and dignity by lying or hurting people in this game of Survivor. What the?! Did you join Survivor to make friends? I don't think so! Sheesh!
I am really, really looking forward to this new season. I hope this one's more entertaining than the last. But I don't think anyone can beat what Parvati and her dominions did with everyone else in Survivor: Macronesia.
Speaking of Survivor, GMA Channel 7 won the Philippine franchise of this amazing 
reality show. Last September 15th was the premiere of Survivor: Philippines.
Did I watch it on TV? No, I didn't. Not because I'm a kapamilya. It's because I got used to the American version of Survivor. Survivor: Philippines will be shown EVERYDAY. After watching the first 2 episodes online, I concluded that this will bore the hell out of me. Why? I don't want to see more than 50% of what they do and talk about in the island of Koh Tarutao in Thailand, only those that are important and might greatly affect anyone's gameplay. Daily installments of Survivor is too slow-paced for me.
And I don't like Paolo's voice. I'm so used to his voice already that it's kinda tiring. But I knew he'll be chosen to be the Pinoy's version of Jeff Probst. I like Paolo but, damn, don't yell too much!
I will still watch Survivor: Philippines. Not on a regular basis, though. I might just watch it online.
By the way, if you're looking for videos of episodes of Survivor Philippines, visit this website:

As of this writing, only the first 5 episodes are up. The videos are clear, all captured from Pinoychannel.tv. I hope someone will make a torrent for Survivor Philippines so it'll be easier for everyone to watch.
I hope these Pinoy castaways become more entertaining so I'll keep watching. I don't believe everyone of them watch Survivor so let's see their strategies. Will post my reactions after I'm done watching all the past episodes.
thanks for sharing a lot of updates about the survivor series.. i love watching survivor ever since but now i can't hardly watch bcoz of my baby heheh
ReplyDeleteHey! I just stumbled on this article. As much as I love Parvati, you have got to give props to Cirie. She was the real manipulator in Micronesia. Nobody ever noticed that she was the one pulling the strings. Parvati got the title as 'Master Manipulator' of the female alliance because she spear-headed the big Ozzy blindside. But ultimately, Cirie did a lote more before that. Still, I hate Cirie anyway and I love Parvati. So, Cheers! Oh and btw, poor Amanda indeed. Her problem is that she's such a kind soul that when she's forced to do bad things to save herself, she can't seem to articulate her reasons well to the jury.
ReplyDeleteOh and thanks for the Survivor Philippines link. Hindi ko kasi napanood sa TV. I'm just curious how they did it.
ReplyDelete@vixela:
ReplyDeleteI agree about Cirie. But ultimately, I believe Parvati was the one who thought of everything to get all the girls to the finals.
Anyway, Gabon castaways were irritating to watch. This new season, Tocantins, bear more promise to be an exciting season. I hope the 4-way cross-tribe alliance will get far. I haven't watched the new episode yet.
