Survivor: Philippines General Discussion

Maldives is a nice country... very beautiful...

Here's the info so far [June 5, '08]


- All 16 castaways have now been chosen (among 12,000): 8 of them from
the national auditions, 8 of them from "recruitments."

- Due to a typhoon, the Baguio City auditions scored the fewest auditionees (1,500)

- Extra Challenge host Paolo Bediones is the host (but then, the world already knows that). Ethel Booba will not be joining him.

- A guy named "Mustafa" is most likely one of the sixteen.

- Uncle Cameraman syndrome: filming is on Koh Tarutao beach in Thailand.

- Survivor Philippines will be shown on a DAILY BASIS.

• Reward challenge on Mondays (30 mins), Immunity challenge on Wednesdays (30 mins), Tribal council on Fridays (1 hour).
  
• Tuesdays and Thursdays will be used for "building tension."
  
• "Sa Extra Challenge, ikaw ang bida!"
  

cool... everyday is Survivor Day!!!

Hahaha that sucks IMO.

I really am excited about this show.

Audition Test:

Guys, do you have sources??

I found this article about Survivor:Philippines

You can read the full article HERE.

I just highlight the most important things:

1. "May napili na kami, somewhere in South Asia. Pero hindi namin puwedeng sabihin kung saan exactly ‘yon," saad niya.

2. "May contract silang pipirmahan na hindi nila puwedeng sabihin kung saan sila pupunta," sagot ni Paolo. "In fact, hindi nila malalaman kung napili sila dahil tatawagan lang sila two weeks bago sila umalis. Nasa kanila ‘yon kung sasabihin nila, dahil puwede silang matanggal o mapalitan kapag nalaman namin na nagsalita sila. Nakakatawa nga na kung saan-saan ang sinasabi nilang lugar na nasa mga blogs sa Internet."

3. Nakatutok sa kanila ang eight big cameras and many handycams kaya mare-record ang lahat ng gagawin nila.

4. Pero ipapaalaala namin sa kanila ang three-million cash prize, tax free, na matatanggap nila. Kung mayroong mae-eliminate, by batch sila uuwi. Mauunang uuwi yung first six castaways na mae-evict."

5. Mauunang umalis si Paolo at ang production staff ng Survivor Philippines kaysa sa mga castaways. Sa June 18 na ang alis nila. After two weeks, saka pa lang susunod ang napiling 16 castaways.

6. Nalaman din namin kay Paolo na sa mga maiiwanang castaways na finalists, hindi nila malalaman kung sino sa kanila ang mananalo sa pagbalik nila sa Pilipinas. Live daw ang announcement ng winner sa final episode ng reality show gaya ng ginagawa talaga sa Survivor

I'll come to translate.

The show will be shoot in Thailand? exciting!

They used the term mae-eevict?!

From the official website of the television station that will be producing Survivor: Philippines, here is an article about an interview of Jeff Probst.

Jeff Probst On Survivor Philippines




GMANews.tv: Sa unang pagkakataon ay nagpaunlak ng panayam ang host ng Survivor reality show na si Jeff Probst para sa franchise ng nangungunang reality series sa mundo na gagawin sa Pilipinas ng GMA Network. Ano kaya ang payo nya sa host ng local version nito na si Paolo Bediones?

“The best thing to do is to be your self. And let your natural curiosity to come out. Good luck to you… what a great job you gonna have," ayon kay Jeff mula sa Los Angeles, USA.

Ayon kay Jeff marami siyang natutunan sa walong taong pagho-host ng Survivor at umaasa siyang magagamit din ito sa local version sa Pilipinas.

“I hope people of the Philippines enjoy it. It’s one thing to watch American version of it, but it’s different to watch your own culture… people you might know," ayon pa kay Jeff.

Ano naman kaya ang maipapayo niya sa mga maswerteng makakapasa bilang contestants o “cast away" na maninirahan sa isang liblib na isla?

“Do your best and to just (close the mouth) because every time you open your mouth you could get your self in trouble," idinagdag pa ng host.

May nagsasabing hawig ang dalawang host ng Survivor, at kahit si Jeff ay aminado rito. Ano naman kaya masasabi ni Paolo?

“Maganda [ang] mga dimple nya ako wala," masayang bungad ni Paolo. “Pero I think maraming matutuwa lalo na sa mga fans ng Survivors na a familiar face is actually acknowledging our Filipino production."

Mahigit 30,000 ang mga nag-audition para mapabilang sa mga “cast away" na mananatili at magkokompetisyon sa isang lihim na isla. Kung sino-sino sila, abangan sa pagsisimula ng Philippine Survivor series.




I come back again to translate.........

I can understand it Jon!!

you will translate it for other people..

thanks jon! yeah, they really look alike.

Is it started already?

Shown in TV?

No Phe.. It's on August I think hehehe

I think it's on September, after the Pinoy Idol

Thanks for information Alenn and Benj..

Benjalenn.. LOL

Jeff Probst is actually promoting this I'm excited, I can't wait

Really? For real?

Survivor Philippines unleashed… move over Fear Factor Philippines

I just hope that this will not be a disappointment like the Pinoy Idol. But I’m 95% sure that Survivor Philippines will be better since the host is well experienced, spontaneous and is also very fit when it comes to physical challenges. As of this writing, Bediones is undergoing rigid training for the program and GMA7 have axed his game show called Tok Tok Tok to give way to this No. 1 reality show in the world. It is rumored that the location of the 16 outcasts will not be within Philippine territory but a whole new island that has not been touched by Media networks.

This would be a very interesting show since it will be a big task for the staff of Survivor Philippines to create challenges that will somehow make life harder for Filipino outcasts. We all know that Pinoy’s are very resourceful and not fully urbanized even if you are the biggest conyo in the galaxy. This is the show that will really change the landscape of Philippine television… and even now, ABS CBN fanatics are already threatened by the mega changes that GMA7 has unleashed, and are making noises in forums and youtube by their black propaganda against SP. Well for GMA fans, they only has this to say: MOVE OVER FEAR FACTOR PHILIPPINES, YOU SUCK!

Fear Factor Philippines was awarded to ABS CBN by Endemol, the same creator of Big Brother Franchise, and is rumored to be Survivor Philippine’s Biggest rival on the ratings game. In the US, Fear Factor did not overshadowed the popularity of Survivor and was even trailing the latter in the ratings game. Here in the Philippines will history once again repeat itself? I bet!

With these developments, I think I’m going to watch local networks again. You see when there is a network war, it is the viewers who always win. Competition bring good shows. So to all OFWs and Migrant Pinoys out there who have no Pinoy TV and only have TFC, well its time for you to switch cables because this show is going to be the year’s most exciting TV show in the country.

Just a note to ABS CBN, don’t use the the “ratings cheating” non-sense again, lumang tugtugin na yan!

Thank you, Benjbuddy.

Well, I just want to add something on this. The spoiler was made by a Thai newspaper, The Nation. The article was published last 05 July 2008. You can check the site HERE.

Survivor reality show shooting on Tarutao will not affect environment, 'Deputy governor


Satun - Satun deputy governor Chuangchai Pao-in said Saturday that the shooting of says the shooting of Survivor reality show on Tarutao national park would not affect the environment there.

He said the shooting would last from July 21 to August 29.

He said the producer of the show from Philippines signed a contract with the park not to damage the environment on the island.

He said the production crew has started building a Thai style pavilion at the pier at Talohwow bay as the centre of the show.

The deputy governor said the show would promote tourism in Satun.

The Nation

Apparently, it was announced by Paolo Bediones that the show will be filmed in SOUTH ASIA, but someone who was at the press conference corrected what was supposed to have been announced. According the the source, Paolo told the press that the location is in EAST ASIA.

The 18 Castaways are now Revealed

GMA-7 has finally revealed the identities of the 18 castaways (originally 16) that will compete for the three million pesos cash prize—tax free—in the first-ever Survivor Philippines, hosted by Paolo Bediones.

The 18 castaways, nine males and nine females, were chosen out of more than 43,000 Survivor fans and aspiring castaways who auditioned nationwide. These people from diverse backgrounds—including a lingerie model, a labandera, a yaya, a waiter, a call center agent, a driver, a basketball player—were flown to Koh Tarutao island, also known as the Devil's Island, in Thailand to embark on their biggest challenge yet.

The 18 castways stayed in theDevil Island for more than 39 days.

Meet the 18 castaways of Survivor Philippines:

Kristina "Kaye" Alipio, lingerie model
Leona Rica "Nikki" Dacullo, call center agent
Jervy "Patani" Daño, 20, babysitter
Veronica "Vern" Domingo, 29, taekwondo coach
Vevherly Gador, 20, student
Chevyline "Chev" Macias, 26 years old, former GRO
Zita Ortiga, 46, laundrywoman
Maria Nona "Niña" Ortiz, designer/wellness coach
Anna Charisse Yacapin, 26, product officer

Marlon Carmen, 30, waiter
Crisanto "Cris" Cartagenas, company driver
Emerson Dino, 31, technician
John Anthony Lopez, 27, auto mechanic/model
Raymund Francis "Kiko" Rustia, model
Cesar "Gigit" Sulit, 48, web designer/mountaineer
Robert Vincent "Rob" Sy, sales officer
John Carlo "JC" Tiuseco, 23, basketball player

The 18 castways were initially divided into two groups: Naak and Jarakay, which means snake and crocodile, respectively, in Thai language.

Every three days, they will battle for reward and immunity. On the third day, one will be eliminated until only two or three castaways are left. From them the Jury, composed of voted-out castaways, will determine who will win the three million pesos cash prize and the title of the first Pinoy Sole Survivor.

Survivor Philippines will be aired nightly on GMA-7 after Ako Si Kim Samsoon starting September 15.

Why's mine is cut?

GMA-7 brings together 18 strangers from all over the country and puts them in one island for the ultimate challenges in "Survivor Philippines".

They will be tested for 39 days in a deserted island where they will be divided into two tribes.

Tribe Jarakay (which is the Thai word for crocodile) carries the blue color while Tribe Naak (which is the Thai word for snake) carries the red color.

Each castaway has to wear a buff, an elastic material with the logo and color of their tribe.

Armed only with one machete for each tribe, the two groups will build a shelter, scavenge for food and protect themselves from nature's elements while in the island.

They will receive a treemail each day that will give them riddles, clues or instructions about the challenges for the day.

Each challenge is designed to test the castaways' strength, endurance, problem solving skills and teamwork. One day, they would be made to stand for hours on a wobbling piece of wood, then they'd be tasked to solve a mind-boggling jigsaw puzzle the next.


Most of the time, they would have to rely on teamwork to win group challenges that would decide their tribe's fate.

Expect a mixture of action, drama, suspense, romance and comedy as each castaway does anything and everything to claim the P3 million peso grand prize and the distinct honor of being the first ever Pinoy Sole Survivor.
