Zuki was Voted Out!

Suzuki was voted off the last tribal council. That was the most strategic and mind puzzling council of all.

Before the tribal council, Shaun heard the plan that he will be voted off so he immediately old the plan to his boys alliance. Since Suzuki was holding the secret immunity bracelet, he gave it to Shaun not knowing that his action made him vulnerable and would lead to his end.

When Charles knew that the bracelet was given off to Shaun, he immediately talked with Jeff and told her that Shaun is a traitor he's just using Suzuki. Mika and Jeff told him to calm down and just set himself for any outcome of the tribal council.

Afterwards, Suzuki told Shaun that the girls will vote him off. Shaun told him that they won't and it's just that Charles was making everything difficult because he's always shifting sides. Shaun told him that the girls will go for Justine on the council just to assure Suzuki that he won't be voted out.

Before the start of the Council, Jeff and Justine was able to come up with their last minute plan, they decided to vote against Shaun even if he's holding the immunity bracelet. Jeff also realized that Mika has other plan and maybe she's just using her.

During the council, Paolo asked all of the castaways aside from Mika to get out for an activity. He interviewed the castaways one by one so that they're free to tell everything without the fear of the other members striking back.

Then the official voting follows, before Paolo tallied the results, he asked them whether anyone has found the hidden immunity and is planning to surrender and use it. Shaun used the immunity bracelet meaning all of the votes casted against him will not be counted. When the tallying of votes ended, Shaun got three but because of the bracelet they were not counted, Justine got two and Suzuki got two votes.

Because of a tie, they were asked to vote again except Justine and Suzuki. When the votes were tallied, Justine got two (from Shaun and Charles) and Suzuki got three (from all the girls) and that made him the 4th member of the Jury.

Before Zuki left the council, he was given the chance to give a red pearl which will give an additional two votes against that person on the next council. Zuki gave it to Mika and he made his last farewell.

He was in tears while bursting out his final words.

"Shaun and Charles kaya niyo yan tapos na ang survivor para sa akin" and "Lola wala na po, miss na miss na kita" he said.

Double Kill!

Tara and Echo was voted out of the Survivor in one consecutive tribal council performed at the same night. Yes, two castaways were eliminated at one night. Why? Well, it was all part of the very unpredictable twist of the game.

Before the tribal council, Tara was very uncomfortable, she tried to persuade Jeff, Justine, Echo, Suzuki and Charles to trust her because she knew that she's the next target. She really wanted to unite the original Koror knowing that that alliance could save her.

Meanwhile, Suzuki and Charles were confuse whom to give their trust. They are caught between two dilemmas. It is whether they are going to stick with the original Koror or trust Shaun and build a new alliance with him to save the boys.

But as with the result of the tribal council, it seemed that Suzuki and Charles had made their decision, to embrace their new alliance with Shaun.

All odds are against Tara, it seemed that she's struggling against an all out war. But she was unable to overcome the tides. She was voted FIRST! Yes, first, because that night Paolo told everyone that there will be a second tribal council that night. Everyone was shocked, good thing Justine was awarded a scroll as a second placer during the immunity challenge. Justine was relieved when she read the scroll out loud. "You are immune to the next tribal council." those were the words from the scroll.

When the tribal council has ended and Paolo was going to announce the next person to leave the area, Echo burst her emotions and cried, probably anticipating that she will be the one to leave. "the ninth person voted out of the Survivor and third member of the tribal Council, Echo!"

I'm really sad about the decision because of the fact that Echo is playing for her family's sake. She wanted to win the pot money just to give her family a nice living... But it's all part of the game. She has played the game well but sadly, she's just part of it.

"in this game, some play the game and dictate other people while the rest let others dictate them" - Paolo
