The celebrity castaways with the host, Richard Gutierrez, watched the pilot episode together last night. They were laughing and cheering while watching, obviously so excited and happy with the product of their work. Richard even said “everything that we worked hard for comes down to this point.”
As to what the Filipinos can expect in the coming days, Ahron Villena said, “mas magiging maintriga, mas aabangan talaga ng mga televiewers.”
Joshua Tree, 1951: A Portrait of James Dean is an independent feature that tells the life story of James Dean, an American actor/cultural icon who died in a car crash in 1955 at the age of 24.
James only starred in three films – East of Eden, Rebel Without a Cause, and Giant – of which his role in Rebel is the most celebrated.
Another James, James Preston (The Gates), plays the role of James Dean in this biopic. It also stars Dan Glenn, Dalilah Rain, and Edward Singletary, Jr.
Directed by Matthew Mishory, Joshua Tree, 1951: A Portrait of James Dean is set for release next year.
ABC has announced its lineup of celebs for the 11th season of Dancing with the Stars.
I don’t really find it interesting as a whole, but I’d love to see Michael Bolton dance for sure. Kurt Warner will surely be a delight to see, too, as well as Audrina Patridge and Brandy. But David Hasselhoff and Bristol Palin?
Anyway, here’s a complete list of Dancing with the Stars Season 11 Cast:
Who loves Justin Bieber’s Runaway Love?
I’m sure you’ll love it even more with Kanye West and Raekwon in it in a remix. Listen to it below.
36 days, 18 castaways…
Survivor Philippines’ celebrity contestants are kidnapped from a press conference by the locals which signaled the start of the competition. They were then brought to Ranong in the southern part of Thailand where they will camp and compete for the grand prize of 3 million pesos.
Ranong is considered as the wettest part of the region because of typhoons that constantly hit the area. It is also known for its scorpions, king cobras, and “killer” mosquitoes.
The castaways meet this season’s host, Richard Gutierrez, in Ranong where he explains the mechanics of the game. Before he let the celebrities take on their first task of finding the base camp and their name tags along the way, he first burns the castaways’ luggage in front of them. Akihiro Sato seems to be the most affected, and does this mean he has great attachment to material things?
The celebrity castaways are then sent to trek through the mangrove to their camp. Richard asks who wants to hold the map and Buhawi Meneses volunteered. The host also gives him a flint for their fire.
Working as one team, a first in Survivor Philippines because the first two seasons started with the castaways being divided into two, they helped one another in looking for their name tags along the way. Ian Batherson, though, finds his name tag but drops it. They can’t go to the camp site without everyone’s name tags, but they have to hurry because if they don’t reach the camp site before dark, they won’t be able to get their supplies (read: rubber shoes and little pieces of clothing).
Aside from Ian’s lost tag, others just get the name tags as they see them without noting where they got it. The trees where the name tags are attached to are an important part of the task because it will somehow point them to their next destination.
Anyway, Doc Ferds Recio is able to find Ian’s name tag so they are able to proceed to their camp site where they start building a temporary shelter. Buhawi and Ferds initiate the shelter-making where they just gather leaves of trees and stuff and just throw them over the branches of a tree to make an improvised roof. Jon Hall doesn’t approve of how his fellow celebrity castaways do it, but he is not saying anything because he doesn’t want to be the leader.
Ferds talks about how other castaways just sit and talk while they are busy with stuff. Aubrey Miles calls Myka Flores ignorant during a confessional because Myka keeps on talking while they are making fire. Karen delos Reyes, on the other hand, is an interesting character. With the way she talks which is mataray and funny at the same time, I’m sure this season of Survivor Philippines will be fun. That is, until she gets the boot.
We haven’t seen Princess Snell do anything but sit and talk. I don’t know if she was edited out so much but I guess that’s just really her.
It’s quite interesting that Jon Hall and Aubrey Miles are ex-lovers, and Jon’s current flame Michelle Madrigal is also a castaway.
In the jeepneys on their way to the location, Jon and Aubrey are in the same ride. Kinda awkward but being celebrities, they know how to play it well. Michelle, on the other hand, is in a separate jeepney with Ian and Mico.
A teaser of tomorrow’s episode shows Ervic Vijandre crying while telling a sad story, Pretty Trizsa is crying as well because of hunger, Princess saying she hasn’t been that tired in her life, Ian angrily shouting Akihiro’s name, Michelle Madrigal nagging at Jon Hall (?), Pretty Trizsa telling Ian that he’s sweet, a castaway in a stretcher, etc.
Don’t forget to watch tomorrow’s episode right after 24 Oras.
The pilot episode of Survivor Philippines: Celebrity Showdown was quite a success it even peaked at number 2 in Twitter’s trending topics.
It’s such a sad thing, though, that as early as the reality show’s first episode, spoilers have started coming out. Take the comedian Chokoleit for example, he posted several messages in his Twitter account hinting that the winner for this season is Moi Marcampo, who is (was?) Piolo Pascual’s personal assistant.
Incidentally, Piolo stars in ABS-CBN’s teleserye Noah, which airs at the same timeslot as Survivor.
Now here’s another tweet from Chokoleit that gives a clue that even the dumbest man alive would guess:
