vevherly gador is a farmer's daughter and is currently a fourth year criminology student. she is very determined, strong willed and brave. she has been through a lot in her life, having been in a broken family and both her parents having separate families. bringing all her life experiences into the game, she can definitely be a survivor. so why did vevh lost?
first, vevherly is simply unimpressive in challenges. as compared to the other naak girls left in the game, zita and kaye has definitely shown their worth in challenges. remember how kaye managed to stay in the coconut basketball challenge, even outlasting kiko? and zita has been very consistent in challenges. if it comes down to physical strength, vevh would definitely be an easy target.
second, she does not have a clear alliance. during the first 2 weeks, i thought that vevh is a part of the boys alliance in naak. she was with them when they voted for against chev and emerson. all the while, i thought only zita was out of the alliance, simply because she was not informed that the tribe would vote out emerson during the second tribal council. i was surprised last monday to find that she was also not part of the alliance.
third, she was not a strategic player. she goes with the flow and for the past weeks, she has not made a move or convinced the tribe of her worth. she has not made used of her relationship with her tribemates to join the alliance that was already existing in the tribe.
fourth, she was very emotional. her emotions seem to get the better of her most of the times. remember that during the thai pillow challenge, she simply stopped when she and emer had an arguement. she could have been of use if she continued and just ignored emer and confronted him after the challenge.
fifth, her injury made her very vulnerable. she injured her foot in the last immunity challenge when she was pushing the ball against veronica. she was limping on their way to tribal council. she had fever the night before. this gave the tribe another reason to vote her out.
lastly, she did not fight for her place in the tribe, she just gave up when she knew she was the next to go. she did not talk to any of the boys to convince them that she sould stay. she talked with kaye but we all know that it is the boys who are making the call in naak. she cried and simply gave up.
if i would choose the main reason why vevh was voted off, i think it would be mainly due to lack of alliance and her unimpressive showing in challenges. vevh did well in the game, she played it with integrity and she showed how strong willed she is. but she needs to learn a lot in survival, beacuase she seems to come in the game very much unprepared.

hello!
i agree with you all-in-all, but there are certain points to which i would like to react to.
1. vev had significant contributions physically during challenges. however, she wasn't put into the limelight like kaye during the coconut basketball challenge. remember it was she who traversed the thai relay foot stool quickly. she also traversed the webed cargo net quickly on the very first episode. the giant karambola was also very heavy and she played this twice. for her to go against vern says volumes. she is a criminology student and someone who is used to hard labor, so this is a physically strong girl.
2 & 3. yes, her mistake was she didn't fight to be in an alliance or else influence someone from an alliance that they need a swing/additional vote from her. she didn't make them feel that they needed her to get ahead of the game.
but as for nanay zita, zita was bring brought in the alliance even though she isn't part of the core alliance. the reason being: as filipinos, we can't just go against a mother figure like zita. moreover, she is an important member of the tribe.
4. the thai pillow battle: there were certain times during the battle when there was a standstill - everyone just on top of the other and no effort will do. note that there were others who were just standing/sitting around. the thai pillow battle, as paolo described in his blog, lasted for 4 hours. so you can afford to sit and rest.
all others, i agree with you 100%.
