survivor philippines: week 2 episode 1 notes

important notes on survivor philippines week 2 monday episode:

> new opening credits showing the new tribes, just like what survivor us is doing, they change opening credits everytime tribes changes

> emerson is at the hot seat for naak. the tribe feels emerson is playing them. he must be cautious if he wants to last in the game. even the girls are doubting his honesty. no one in naak is trusting him, except probably for cris, who did not have any confessional or was not even shown talking about him. i think if naak loses again, it can be emerson who will be going.

> the first alliance was shown being formed; the boys alliance in naak: jc, kiko and rob. although this was evident last week, it's the first time that they were shown talking about going together and helping each other go far in the game.

> food issue still haunts both tribes. still no fire for both tribes.

> when paolo announced to jarakay that chev was voted out in the last tribal council, jarakay did not have any reaction. aren't they interested or they expected that chev would go home?

> the reward challenge was a revised version of the immunity challenge from survivor cook island episode 5. please see pics below (taken from http://www.truedorktimes.com/survivor_cook_islands/spoilers/ep5/ic.htm ):

this challenge was later recycle by micronesia fans vs favorites episode 6 immunity challenge. please see pics below (taken from http://www.scottitude.net/everyirrelevance/2008/05/survivor-micr-3.html ):

> kiko is evidently the leader in naak. he stepped up to the plate, barking orders and saying to the tribe what their strategy is. at jarakay, i was impressed by the great communication exhibited in the tribe and great teamwork too. i was more impressed with patani and charisse since they were the ones that helped supporting the foot stools. veronica is evidently heavier than either of the too but they were able to survive the challenge.

> jarakay wins reward. three straight challenge that jarakay tribe wins. reward is a flint. jarakay will now have fire. they were really emotional after the challenge. i had a feeling they would win the challenge because in the opening credits, gigit was shown shouting, "we have fire!" and in this challenge, it was flint that would be given as a reward.

will jarakay continue their winning streak? naak needs a morale booster at this stage. a challenge win will do. the episode also shows naak holding matchsticks in their mouth and paolo saying that they can take home up to 6 matchsticks. this would also be a great challenge for naak. let's watch again tonight...
