Cris Cartagenas Voted Off of "Survivor Philippines"

Company driver Cris Cartagenas failed to make it into the Top 3 when he was voted out in Chalam's Tribe seventh tribal council. Cris got three votes versus his one vote against JC Tiuseco.

Cris now became the 15th person to be voted off and the seventh member of the Jury, which will decide who will win the three-million cash prize and the title of the first-ever Pinoy Sole Survivor. The other members of the Jury, as of now, are Jace Flores, Kiko Rustia, Vern Domingo, Marlon Carmen, Kaye Alipio, and Zita Ortiga.

JC together with Rob Sy and Charisse Yacapin, however, complete the Top 3.

Waiter Marlon Carmen Voted Off of "Survivor Philippines"

Dubbed as the "bad boy of Philippine primetime television," 30 year-old waiter Marlon Carmen finally got the boot in last night's episode of GMA-7 reality show Survivor Philippines.

With only seven castaways left, all the tribemates of Marlon in Chalam voted against him, while he voted against company driver Cris Cartagenas. With his ouster, Marlon became the 12th person to be voted out from Survivor Philippines and he also became the fourth member of the Jury; along with Jace Flores, Kiko Rustia, and Vern Domingo.

"Natapakan ko yung personalidad ko, pero dito, you have to do everything to reach your goal. Iwasan n'yo rin yung masyadong trust sa mga tao kasi maraming two-faced eh." said Marlon in his exit interview.

Hunk Jace Flores Voted Off of "Survivor Philippines"

19-year-old former barista and gym instructor Jace Flores is the 9th castaway to be eliminated from GMA-7’s Survivor Philippines.

In the first Tribal Council after the Naak and Jarakay merge (they are now known as Chalam), Jace was the first to be voted out in a close battle with castaway Kiko. Jace got 6 votes while Kiko got 4.

“I was expecting na at least magka-tie pero something happened e pero di ko pa alam so ok lang. Parang betrayed na parang hurt, sobrang unexpected pero ok lang I still love you guys and good luck. It’s the game, I shouldn’t take it personally so ok lang.” said Jace in his exit interview.

Survivor Philippines Update: Vevherly Gador is the Sixth Person to Leave Survivor Philippines

Farmer's daughter Vevherly Gador became the sixth person to leave Survivor Philippines. In an episode last Friday night, October 10, Vevherly was voted out unanimously by her fellow Naak tribemates.

Even before the Tribal Council, Vevherly already knew that she would be the one to go home because of the "alliance" among her tribemates. She vented her disappointment with tribemate Kaye Alipio and told her that she felt betrayed.

Vevherly also suffered an injury during the last Immunity Challenge, but she refused her tribemates' offer to look at her wound.

After the Immunity Challenge, host Paolo Bediones revealed the "twist" that he announced before the challenge. The Naak tribe, who lost in the challenge, would have to leave their camp and find another one where they will build a new shelter.

Naak member Kiko Rustia was kidnapped by the Jarakay tribe as a consequence of losing the last Reward Challenge. He was also not allowed to participate in the Immunity Challenge and help his tribemates.

Before going back to his tribe, Kiko thanked the Jarakay tribe and settled his differences with Jace Flores and Marlon Carmen whom he had issues before. He returned to the Naak tribe just in time for the Tribal Council. But he was not able to vote and he cannot be voted off.

During the Tribal Council, Paolo announced another "twist." At that point, the Jarakay tribe joined the Tribal Council to observe Naak's Tribal Council.

Paolo asked the Naak tribemates who among the Jarakay members are the strongest and the one they want to be chained with.

Vevherly received all the votes from her tribemates while she voted Rob.

In her exit interview, Vevherly asked the remaining Naak tribemates not to bring their game to the real world.

Vevherly has now joined other Survivor Philippines castoff: Chev Macias, Emerson Diño, Gigit Sulit, and Patani Daño. Niña Ortiz was forced to leave the game before the last Immunity Challenge because of her fractured toe.

Paolo Bediones Denies Rumor About Survivor Philippines' First Pinoy Sole Survivor

Survivor Philippines host Paolo Bediones denied the rumor that hardcourt heartthrob John Carlo “JC” Tiuseco is the first Pinoy Sole Survivor.

Paolo explained that it is impossible to identify the winner because only the program manager knows the final result. The contestants who comprised the Jury cast their final votes before they left Koh Tarutao (the setting of Survivor Philippines) last September. Everything will be revealed, live, on the last airing of Survivor Philipines on GMA Network.

Nevertheless, Paolo is thanking those who are trying to ruin their show, “But thanks to them, people are now more curious about the show,” said the TV host.

JC Tiuseco is the First Pinoy Sole Survivor?

Survivor Philippines is airing for barely 3 weeks and the news on who will be the first Pinoy sole survivor is now circulating in the four corners of showbizlandia....and the source? According to showbizjuice.com are some of the show's staff.

Here's an excerpt of their news article posted on September 30:

"Sa usapan ng ilang staff ng programa sa isang coffee shop, walang pakialam na ikinuwento ng isang taklesang staff ang nangyayari sa Survivor.

Ang pinaka-shocking revelation ng tsikahan ng staff na hindi napalampas ng source ng showbizjuice.com ay ang pangalan ng winner ng reality show.

Si JC! Siya ang Pinoy Sole Survivor."

We hate to spoil the excitement by revealing the big winner but it seems like there is a need to highten the confidentiality clause between GMA 7 management and its production staff.

Again, this is just a news.
