survivor philippines: veronica wins second individual immunity challenge

taekwondo champ veronica domingo won the second individual immunity challenge on day 23 of survivor philippines. the immunity challenge was an endurance challenge. a bahay kubo was set up on the beach with 9 partitions. each cast away will occupy one partition. on each side of the partitions are 3 rungs, one is 1 inch wide, another is 3/4 inch wide and the last is 1/2 inch wide. on paolo's que, the cast aways will step on the the 1 inch rung and avoid falling off. when a cast away falls off, he is out of the game. after 20 minutes, they would transfer to the 3/4 inch rung. after 20 more minutes, they will again transfer to the 1/2 inch rung. the last person on the rung will be declared the winner.

the first 20 minutes was quite easy for almost all the cast aways. but just before the first 20 minutes ended, paolo brought out a plate of chips and ice cold softdrink; which will go to the first person to quit. just after all of them transferred to the middle rung, rob stepped down and went for the plate of chips.

after 10 more minutes, paolo then offered a plate of spaghetti and drinks; which marlon accepted gladly. the remaining 7 cast aways all lasted the second round and eventually transferred to the last rung.

after 45 minutes, kiko then gave up. charisse was really struglling and eventually gave up after more than 50 minutes. then jc slipped just before the 1 hour mark. nanay zita soon followed the others after 1 hour and 46 minutes in the challenge.

paolo then offered a plate of fried chicken meal to the 3 remaining cast away just before the 2 hour mark. marlon immediately convinced kaye to come down, sensing that she is already struggling. kaye came down after 2 hours on the challenge.

cris and vern are the only ones left in the challenge. cris was doing this for his father, so he can be proud of him. another hour passed, cris was now in pain and vern is still calm and relaxed. vern even offered a handshake to cris. it was now dark and a bonfire was set up to light the challenge area. another hour passed and cris was really struggling and crying. saying that his father would get angry if he quits. but he evntually called it quits and stepped down, giving vern the immunity.

vern is the second female castaway to win the individual immunity, after zita won iundividual immunity on day 20. looks like the girls are performing better than the male cast aways in immunity challenges.
