SPCS E05: Tribe Leaders

The celebrity castaways are able to gather enough shells, crabs, and clams that they put it in an improvised pot made out of a bamboo culm, courtesy of Ferds Recio. After cooking their loot a little under the fire, they gather around it, pray, and eat together as if eating shells are what they normally do. They have no choice, though, and little shells are better than nothing at all.

Karen delos Reyes finds a tree mail and read it:

Sa kabilang isla may regalo para sa inyo,
Dalhin ang buong tribo at pagsaluhan ang mga ito.

As excited as they are with food and the word “pagsaluhan” seems like food, some of them guess that it could be another challenge involving eating of live insects. They are wrong, though, because when they reached the island, they find out that there are five live chickens scattered around the mangrove for them to catch.

Elma Muros caught the first one, followed by Doc Ferds. Jon Hall easily snatched the third one sitting on a tree branch. They can’t catch one of the chickens, so they settle with just four. Those chickens mean a lot to them. They haven’t had “real meat” (as Doc Ferds put it) since they arrived at the camp.

The castaways face their first Tribal Council. They light their torches and the host Richard Gutierrez notifies them of the one unlit torch which belongs to Princess Snell. He officially tells the castaways that Princess has already given up the fight.

Moving on, Buhawi Meneses receives a green arm band. It represents his being a Tribe Leader, the reward he got from winning the first challenge.

Aira Bermudez, being the second winner of that same challenge, is asked to read her scroll. It says:

Ang pinuno ng tribo ay magiging tatlo
Ang hinirang na una at ang ikalawa’y ang may hawak ng scroll na ‘to.
Ngayong gabi, walang uuwi,
Sa halip ang ikatlong sanga ang mapipili.

And as Aira’s scroll says, she is also a Tribe Leader. She gets a yellow arm band to symbolize her leadership.

Since Aira’s scroll tells them so, the castaways start voting for the third tribe leader. Myka Flores, it seems, does not understand what they are being asked to vote for. She writes the name of Pretty Trizsa, whom she had an argument earlier when they were catching the chickens. With no leadership qualities, even Trizsa can’t help but smile when his name was called by Richard Gutierrez. His name being read also elicits random laughter from the castaways. Trizsa then turns to the direction of Myka and says, “I’m sure ‘yan ‘yung binoto mo,” and Myka makes it so obvious by looking down and covering her face with her hands. The castaways laugh harder while Richard tells them to settle down.

At the end of the counting, Trizsa has 1 vote, Elma has 2, Doc Ferds 5, and Jon Hall 8. There’s a missing unread vote but it doesn’t make sense to read anymore because Jon already has the majority of the votes.

So Jon Hall, by choice of majority of the celebrity castaways, is the third Tribe Leader.

But the castaways are not going back to the camp just yet, because Richard wants to make that first Tribal Council more interesting. And because of that, it will surely be an interesting episode on Monday.

Don’t forget to catch Monday’s episode right after 24 Oras. Only on GMA-7.
