Tara unleashes her wrath in Survivor Philippines Palau

Tara Macias unleashed her wrath during the October 5 episode of Survivor Philippines Palau.

The morning after the tribal council, Tara woke up earlier than the two remaining members of the Airai tribe. She kept herself busy, fetching water and getting some crabs to eat. She also lit their campfire, while she was in tears. Tara said that she was so angry for feeling betrayed that she had to cry it out. Meanwhile, Charles Fernandez remained asleep, or at least pretending, knowing that a brewing "storm" will welcome him once he wakes up.

When Mika Batchelor woke up and left the shelter, Tara entered and started berating Charles about voting off Cris Bolado instead of what they initially planned of, that is to vote against Mika.

Tara : "Charles kausapin mo ko. Tumingin ka rito. Alam ko kung bakit mo binoto si Kuya Cris ‘wag kang makipagplastikan sa`kin! I trusted you. Bakit ‘di mo sinabi sa `kin na ganoon ang gagawin mo?"

Charles: "Kasi may plano sina Kuya Shaun."

Tara : "Alam ko! Pero dapat ipinaalam mo sa`kin kasi naging honest ako sa 'yo! Sinasabi ko sa`yo pag ako matanggal sa immunity next time, ‘pag natalo tayong tatlo dito. ‘Pag matanggal ako sinusumpa kita! Sobra! Galit na galit ako sobra! Naiinis ako sa`yo! Kasi hindi mo sinabi sa`kin. Napag-isipan ko ‘yun kung sino dapat tanggalin, ikaw ‘yun! Pero pinili kita, hayop ka! Sinabi ko sa`yo tell me honestly pero ano yung ginawa mo? Naisip ko yun na hindi i-vote out si Mika kahit papano."

Seeing Charles was unmindful of the situation, Tara's rage continued.

"Huwag mo ‘kong tulug-tulugan d'yan. Kasi ako gising ako kanina pa! Huwag kang makipagplastikan sa`kin. Sabihin mo sa `kin kasi hindi ko inimpose sa`yo na weak ka dahil ikaw dapat ang matanggal sa totoo lang! Pa-thank you, thank you ka pa sa 'kin! Anong akala mo ha?! Umiiyak ako dahil naiinis ako sa`yo dahil gusto kitang lechehin! Dapat sinabi mo na lang sa`kin at makapagdecide ako at i-vote out ko na lang si Kuya Cris! P***** ina mo! Naiinis ako sa`yo naging honest ako sa`yo, tapos ganyan ang gagawin mo sa`kin. Huwag mo kong gawing tanga at ‘wag nyo kong pagkaisahan. Kung sinabi mo sa`kin ‘yun di may magagawa ako!" Tara shouted.

Caught in Tara's another round of tirade, Charles tried to ignore her by pretending to be asleep. But Tara wouldn't stop from nagging, even if Mika told her to get a hold of herself.

Tara : "‘Wag mo kong tulugan. Consensia de amor ka! Hindi kita binoto. Never pa! Sinasabi ko sa`yo pag ako natanggal next immunity SINUSUMPA KITA! Hindi na kita kakausapin! Alam mo ang plano natin. Alam ko kung ano ‘yung sinabi ko last time. It`s either si Mika or si Cris."
Mika : "That`s enough girl."
Charles: "'Wag, pabayaan mo s'ya."

Mika sat beside Charles and tried to defend him. For Mika, Tara went overboard with her tirade.

"Who the hell do you think you are? Hanggang doon nagpa-power trip siya. Grabe iyong galit niya, wala sa lugar, e," Mika said.

Tara went on with her onslaught, noticeably in Tagalog, this time.

Tara : "Wala kong inaagrabyado dito, kahit isa sa inyo. Kung ganito ako magreact ngayon may rason ako. Umiiyak ako ngayon sa harapan n'yo kasi inis na inis ako. Kasi ako ‘yung taong pwedeng kausapin pero di nyo ginawa! Or either ikaw Charles!"
Charles: "Tara, gusto mo makita ang tunay kong ugali?"
Tara : "Ipakita mo! Ipakita mo!"
Charles: "'Di ko na lang gagawin sa`yo."
Tara : "Ipakita mo. Bakit may rason ka para magalit sa`kin?! Anong rason mo para magalit?"
Mika : "Hey! That`s enough!"
Tara : "Hindi! S'ya kinakausap ko Mika! Anong rason mo para magalit sa ‘kin? At least nilalabas ko ang totoo."

Charles opted to stay quiet, until Tara pushed him too far with her cursing.

Tara : "Bakit ‘di ka makapagsalita akala ko ba matapang ka? P***** ina mo!"
Charles: "'Wag mo ‘kong ipu**** ina dahil di p***** ina ang nanay ko! Titser ang mother ko. Ikaw kaya? Di ‘ko inaano ang mommy mo a!"
Tara : "Hndi ko inaano ang mama mo. Iba ‘yun!"
Charles: "Pero ‘wag mo nga ko mumurahin ng ganyan! Hindi kita minumura."
Tara : "Problema ko na ‘yun."
Charles: "Pero hindi na kita iaano kasi wala ring mangyayari kapag pinatulan kita. Dahil ano..."
Tara : "Anong ano? Bakit naging masama ba ko sa`yo? Inaano kita Charles? Day one hanggang ngayon inano kita? Kung kinausap mo ko nang tama e din mas mabuti pero kung makipag-plastikan ka d'yan ‘di ka nagsasalita, mas masakit yon! As if wala. As if walang nangyari, as if alam ko. As if ok lang! Sorry di ako ganyan!"

Charles recalled his first spat with Tara and after this incident; he believed that they are now even.

"Dahil sa ‘di n'ya raw ako nilaglag. Bayad na ‘ko matagal na ‘kong bayad duon dahil ‘di ko naman binoto ‘yung pangalan n'ya. ‘Di nya rin binoto ‘yung pangalan ko. Sasabihin n'ya na may utang ng loob ako sa kanya. ‘Yun bayad na ko matagal na nuong day 1, 2 and 3 pa `yon. Bayad na ‘ko sa kanya dahil sa pagmumura n'ya. Patas na kami ngayon. Bayad na ko sa kanya.wala akong kong utang ng loob sa kanya, wala rin s'yang utang ng loob sa `kin," Charles declared.

At the Koror Camp, the tribe members talked about the first season of Survivor Philippines, particularly JC Tiuseco, the first Pinoy Sole Survivor, and Jace Flores.

Amanda: "Ang galing naman ni JC Conseco, ano pangalan nun?''
Echo and Marvin: "Tiuseco."
Echo : "But for me his not that cute or gwapo type, wala."
Amanda: "Alam ko nakita ko siya e."
Echo : "Typical, typical Filipino."
Jef : "Ako rin di ako na-cutan sa kanya, nameet ko s'ya."
Echo : "Kahit sino dun sa mga lalaki, I mean Jace pwede."
Jef : "Jace? Sino si Jace? Ano itsura?"
Echo : "'Yung mabato."
Jef : "Gwapo? Pinoy, Pinoy ang gwapo nya?"
Marvin : "Kwan sya e boxing trainor."
Echo : "May pag ka-Rico Yan ganun."
Jef : "So pretty boy."
Echo : "Oo, pretty boy na may muscle na may tattoo."
Marvin : "Mayabang, sobrang mayabang kaya navote-out s'ya, malakas na mayabang."


SHELTER FOR THE TRIBAL MERGER. At Isla Purgatoryo, Justine Ferrer and Cris were about to start building the shelter for the merged. Justine and Cris then gathered the materials that they would use. Both of them had to dig the soil to start the base or foundation of the shelter. They planted the bamboos as pillars.


TYPHOON TARA. At the Airai Camp, it appears that there's no letting up for Tara as she continued to lash out against Charles. Charles, on the other hand, desperately tried to avoid and even attempted to save Mika in the process.

Tara : "Ang sama-sama nyo! Grabe."
Mika : "We don`t expect you to understand kung bakit nangyari yung nangyari kagabi. Nasa amin na ‘yun."
Tara : "Okay. Whatever."
Charles: "Walang alam si Mika na si Tatay Cris ang iboboto ko. Wala rin akong alam na si Tatay Cris ang iboboto n`ya. It`s true.Nagulat na lang si Mika."
Tara : "Pero sabi ko sa`yo at least maging honest ka."
Charles: "Kagabi lang nagbago ang isip ko."
Tara : "Pero hindi mo sinabi sa kin. Ilang beses pwede mo kong kausapin pero ‘di mo sinabi sa kin."
Charles: "Kagabi lang nga nagbago nung nasa tribal council na tayo."
Tara : "At least kung sinabi mo sa ‘kin. Alam mo namang ok lang ako."
Charles: "Paano kita masesenyasan nasa harap ka?"
Tara : "'Sus! Don`t give me such excuses Charles. Napag-isipan ko rin iyan. Iyung mga bagay-bagay na ganyan!"
Charles: "'Di ka namin pinagkaisahan kung ‘yan nag iniisip mo. Talagang nagulat din si Mika."
Tara : "Sus! I don`t think so. Ang sa ‘kin ‘di mo sinabi sa `kin. Naiinis ako! Naiinis ako dahil lang naging honest ako. ‘Yun lang po! Dahil kung kaya kong magpakasama, magpapakasama ako! Kaya ko iyong gawin pero di ko ginagawa."

It seemed like there's no end to Tara's rage, however.

Tara : "Akala n'yo ako ang tanga dito ha. Sobra. Ang tanga-tanga ko para hindi alam yun! P***** ina! Ako may trust, ikaw wala! T**** ka! Ikaw na lang dapat ang binoto kung ganun din lang ang nangyari at pinag-isipan ko rin ‘yun. Pa-thank you, thank you ka pa ‘di ka naman pala sincere. Wow...bulls***! Ang tanga-tanga ko, grabe! ‘Di ko alam ‘yun ha. Sobra nasurprise ako. Grabe talaga!"

Finally, there's calm after the storm. After Mika and Tara prepared their meal, the Cebuana led the prayer and even invited Charles to join them.

Tara : "Charles! ‘Wag ka nang pa-OA. Kumain ka na dito."
Mika : "Pabayaan mo na s'ya."
Tara : "E, naiinis na lang talaga ako ‘day. ‘Yun lang. You can`t blame me ‘di ba. Feeling ko kasi talagang ginawa pa kong tanga!"

Charles didn't even bother to respond and just covered himself up with the blanket instead. Tara and Mika finished their meals and cleaned up.


CHARLES ON THE SWING. At the Airai camp, Charles and Mika discussed their game plan for the reward challenge ahead. Mika was already anticipating another loss at the challenge.

"Pagdating sa challenge mamaya titingnan ko na sina Shaun at Amanda. Alam na nila ‘yun. And even if I don`t say anything to them, alam na nila ‘yun tapos bahala na silang gumawa ng paraan," Mika told Charles. "Mamaya ‘pag nakita nilang wala si Kuya Cris malalaman nilang mali iyong ginawa nila," she said.

Later, Tara and Charles talked about the tribal council again. This time, Tara was tamer and Charles was able to explain the decision he made. Tara admitted that she wanted to patch thing up with her two remaining tribe mates.

Tara : "Alam mo namang si Mika ang iboboto ko ‘di ba?"
Charles: "'Di naman kita masenyasan kasi nasa harap ka."
Tara : "You mean nagchange lang ‘yun decision mo nung nandoon na?"
Charles: "Oo."
Tara : "Nainis lang ako sa mga pangyayari parang ang feeling ko nag-usap nga kayo ni Mika."
Charles: "Hindi n'ya alam."
Tara : "So parang sobrang unfair sa ‘kin Charles kasi alam mo naman kung gaano ako ka-honest sa`yo na sinabi ko sa`yo ‘yun. Dapat sinabi mo ‘yun sa`kin kasi ikaw ‘yung prinoprotektahan ko dapat e. Pero ang nangyari feeling ko nag-usap kayo ni Mika, tapos ‘di mo naman ako sinabihan."
Charles: "Kagabi nagulat din ako na hindi nag-tie iyong boto sa`kin, kay Tatay Cris. Nagulat din ako tumingin din ako kay Mika."
Tara : "Feeling mo talaga magta-tie s'ya? Hindi, honest? Sa totoo?"
Charles: "Promise. Dalawang boto magta-tie kami ni Mika at ako."
Tara : "Iyong mga nasabi ko kanina mga something ko lang yun. Kita mo naman siguro na umiyak ako dahil sa sobrang inis ko na.

Tara then asked Charles upfront if he would vote against Mika when the time comes.

Tara : "May isang tanong, isang sagot lang ako sa`yo. ‘Pag mangyaring matalo tayo sa immunity challenge, sino iboboto mo?"
Charles: "Hindi. Ako na lang ang tanggalin n`yo."
Tara : "Hindi, alam kong hindi ibibigay kay Mika iyong bracelet, it`s either sa`yo o sa`kin. So ‘pag nangyari yun hindi pa rin kita ilalaglag. Gusto ko magpromise ka sa `kin na pag nangyari ‘yung tribal council na ‘yun si Mika ang ivo-vote out mo since meron naman tayong pinag-usapan the very first time. So ‘di mo talaga alam na si..."
Charles: "'Di ko alam na si Mika ivo-vote n'ya rin si Tatay Cris."
Tara : "Sige thank you for being honest. Sana totoo yan ha."
Charles: "Yup."
Tara : "Saka Charles yan na ang usapan natin. Promise?"
Charles: "Promise!
Tara : "Parang wala lang. Okay promise is promise ha."

Tara seems convinced however of Charles' ‘sincerity.' The two solidified their deal with a fist bump and hugged one another.

But Charles just played on. He isn't buying what Tara was trying to sell with her change of tone and change of heart.

"Feeling ko nag-aacting siya pero hindi niya bagay," Charles pointed out.

At the Isla Purgatoryo, Cris finished the frame of the shelter including its roof. He took a rest inside a makeshift shelter, while Justine continued to work despite the pouring rain.

Back at the Airai Camp, Tara talked to Mika and apologized to her.

"Ako magalit lang ako ng kaunti tapos maya-maya sige na. Okay na. Kalimutan na natin like sana ganoon, madali akong tumanggap ng pagkatalo or like OK lang na matapakan ako. OK lang na ako ang magpakumbaba or OK lang ako na magmukhang tanga or oh my God, ako pa yata yung napagkaisahan dito ganun," Tara told Mika. "Ako ‘yung tipo ng tao na hindi talaga emotional like especially when you're outside ‘di ba? I don't care. Pero dito like OMG kayo lang iyong kasama ko, maapektuhan ka talaga," she continued.

Mika just responded with a nod, but Tara continued with her plea.

"Ang pangit naman kung hindi tayo mag-uusap. Ayoko naman ng... marami pa tayong gustong gawin outside later on soon. Like having friends here like it's totally a... You know something. It's a game. Something like that. You can see my true colors, I can see your true colors. Whatever what happen like...we know!" she said.

But Mika still refused to speak her mind, because it's something Tara wouldn't want to hear.

"Para naman siyang tanga, na parang ‘hello?' After all of that you think na makakalimutan lang namin na ganun, parang wala lang. ‘Di mo kami sinigawan na ‘di ganoon ‘yung naging ugali mo," Mika admitted.

Tara confessed that she needed to appear submissive; after all, she's outnumbered.

"Kailangan kong makisama, e. Kahit sobrang kailangan kong pababain ang sarili ko. I have to do this. I have to make sure that it's ok," Tara said.

But for Mika, it's not OK.

"Hello! Hindi kami manhid. It`s not okay. Everything is not alright. Hindi namin makakalimutan yung ginawa nya," Mika asserted.

Despite extending apologies to the two, Tara still believed that she had not done her tribe mates wrong.

"Wala akong inagrabyado sa kanila. I've been honest even to Kuya Cris and all, to everyone. Lahat sinabi ko sa kanila all good things. Ako pa nga iyung inimpose nilang weakest or something. Sila pa nga ‘yung maraming sinasabi tungkol sa`kin. Well not my lost. I think it's not my lost!" Tara insisted.

Apparently, it's not Mika's loss as well.

"Being stuck in an island with someone you don't really like, sucks! Sobrang eeew ‘yung feeling. Basta no words to explain," Mika stated.
