Charles wins immunity necklace in Survivor Philippines Palau

Amanda got the tree mail in Survivor Philippines Palau that morning. It brought Jumbo's message, the dog that became Justine's only companion in Isla Purgatoryo for fifteen days and eventually joined the Sonsorol tribe.

Amanda: "Sabi ko sa inyo meron, e! Ayun ang kasagutan. Handa na ba kayo?"
Justine: "Sige basahin mo."
Amanda: "Wala na si Jumbo. Kaya pala ilang araw na nating hinahanap si Jumbo. ‘Yun iyong main trabaho ni Jumbo. Ikaw."

Then Justine took and read the message.

"Ako nalungkot ako personally kasi nakasama ko s'ya tapos sasabihin sa mail na nagpapaalam na s'ya so talagang malungkot," Justine said.

Suzuki shared Justine's sadness upon hearing Jumbo's leaving.

"Nalulungkot talaga ako. Kahit malungkot ako, kapag nasa tabi si Jumbo, parang na feel ko nang parang nawawala iyong stress," Suzuki recalled.

By the water source, Amanda, Jef and Charles talked about their votes for the next tribal council.

Jef : "Teka lang, sinong boboto mo?"
Charles: "Justine."
Jef : "Justine?"

Mika then joined Jef and Charles. The "sexy chef" was still undecided about her vote.

Mika : "So basta, all the boys ba? Or ikaw at si Suzuki lang? Or si Shaun din?"
Charles: "Si Shaun?"
Mika : "Si Shaun din nga no? Sinabi n'ya sa'yo? Si Justine din?"
Jef : "Si Justine kasi hindi sya makasundo sa tribe?"

Meanwhile, Suzuki and Shaun walked in the forest and talked who should use the immunity bracelet they found together.

Shaun: "'Pag nanalo ako ng immunity e di sayo na iyong bracelet."
Suzuki: "Oo."
Shaun: "'Pag nanalo ka e di akin iyong bracelet."
Suzuki: "Oo."
Shaun: "'Pag walang nanalo sa'tin sa immunity ‘yun ang problema natin. Pagbubunutan natin iyong bracelet."
Suzuki: "Ano kaya iniisip nila ‘no. Tatanggalin nila ako o ikaw no?"
Shaun: "Paano kaya ‘yun. Kung isa sa'tin tatanggalin nila e di... Hay naku! Kailangan magawan natin ng paraan. Pwede ihain natin si ano. Bigyan natin ng option si Charles."
Suzuki: "Oo."

"Kasi sa 'kin kaya gusto ko nang matanggal si Justine, una, kasi, deserving s'yang manalo, maging Sole Survivor. Pero ang sa akin kasi, kung mayroon man s'yang gustong i-prove sa Survivor, nagawa na n'ya ‘yon. Noong tinalo n'ya iyong anim, tapos na. Kung anuman iyong gusto nyang i-prove, nai-prove na nya yon," Shaun said.

Mika then asked Charles if Shaun and Suzuki had already found the immunity object.

Mika : "Charles may tanong ako, wala talaga sa boys nakahanap nung immunity?"
Charles: "Wala. Promise."

Meanwhile, Jef was having second thoughts about the girls' alliance.

"Usually iyong decision kay Mika or Amanda nanggaling. Sad to say na wala akong masyadong voice kung sino ang iboboto, mas more on nga kung ano sabihin nila susunod lang ako. Pero nagagamit ko din s'ya na advantage sa'kin. Nakuha ko iyong trust nila saka at least, mas gusto kong isipin nila na I just follow. Para in the end kapag lumaban ako hindi masyadong obvious. Ayoko nang makinig sa kanila kasi si Shaun talaga ang gusto ko, kahit na mag-Suzuki pa sila, Shaun ang gusto ko," Jef said.


'TAKSIYAPO' CHALLENGE. Justine got and read the tree mail. The Castaways were then asked to paint their bodies with the color they preferred.

Justine painted herself pink, green for Amanda, purple for Mika, black for Shaun, brown for Charles, red for Jef, and finally, yellow for Suzuki.

Amanda described their individual designs.

"Kanya-kanyang design tapos tawa kami nang tawa sa isa't-isa. Si Jef prinsesa ng Africa. Tapos si Justine mukhang Teletubby kasi ewan ko kung ano pumasok sa utak nya pero iyong pink n'ya ‘yung tenga nya lang tsaka ‘yung ilong n'ya, so sobrang comedy ‘yung kanya. Tapos si Mika naman wala para s'yang American Indian style. Iyong mukha ko pininturahan ko lang ng green, tapos yung katawan ko dinrowing-drawingan ko lang. Si Shaun naman sabi n'ya Terminator. Tapos si Charles, lahat tinatadtad sarili n'ya ng mula ulo hanggang paa bronze s'ya wala s'yang iniwan na spot maliban sa mata nya, pati lips nya bronze. Then si Zuki nagmuka naman s'ya ano aborigine, cannibal." Amanda said.

Paolo welcomed the castaways at the site of their challenge.

Before explaining the mechanics of the game, Paolo took away Justine's immunity necklace first.

The mechanics: There were seven bamboo posts, wherein seven plates were attached that correspond to the colors of the castaway's war paints. The challenge had three rounds where the players would be given ten chances to throw rocks and break the plates of the other castaways. At the end of three rounds, the castaway with the most plates left, would take back the immunity necklace. There would be a tie-breaker if necessary. Each castaway were given a small sack where they could get the ten stones.

Shaun was seen talking to Mika before the start of the game. Mika, Amanda, Justine and Jef then whispered to one another.

"Bago kami nag-umpisa, gusto niya sana kasi gusto nila na hindi mapunta iyong immunity kay Justine so ang sinabi niya sa akin na secret na unahin natin si Justine kasi ang alam ni Shaun, faithful pa rin ako sa kanya," Mika said.

But Justine also had Shaun as her target.

"Ako kasi talagang ang sabi ko, iyong black, si Shaun ang pupuntiryahin ko," Justine said.

Shaun and Suzuki also talked about their main target.

"So nangyari noon, usapan lang namin ni Zuki kasi ang target nga na tanggalin noon, si Justine, so usapan namin, unahin na lang iyong plate ni Justine, ‘yung kulay pink," Shaun said.

However, Shaun was caught unaware that the girls already had their mind set against him.

"For immunity, Survivors ready, go!" Paolo signaled.

The throwing and breaking spree began. Charles hit the yellow (Suzuki's) plate. Jef hit her own red plate. Amanda meanwhile was targeting the black (Shaun's) plates. Shaun was obviously aiming for Justine's pink plates. Suzuki hit Amanda's green plate. Mika hit Charles' brown plate. Obviously, Shaun and Justine were going for each other's plates.

"Ang pinuntirya ko talaga na as in hindi ko na dapat itago ay si Shaun talaga," Justine admitted.

"Halos nagtatamaan talaga ng plates na obvious na obvious is si Justine tsaka ako, makikita mo na black ang pinupuntirya niya at ako iyong pink ang pinupuntirya ko ‘yung plates niya," Shaun said.

But Amanda's plates were also smashed one after the other.

"Initially na-disappoint ako noon, nagulat ako, ‘whoa!' Ba't nawawala na iyong plato ko, wala naman akong kaaway dito a? Pero at the same time, okay lang. Hindi ko naman inaatim na makuha yung necklace, e, basta hindi si Shaun ang makakuha, masaya na ako," Amanda said.

After rounds of smashing plates, Amanda and Shaun only had one plate each and Justine had two plates. Paolo declared that there was a triple tie between Mika, Charles and Suzuki.

At the tie-breaker round, there were five plates colored yellow, brown and purple. The three players had ten stones again. Suzuki and Charles both aimed for Mika's purple plates.

"Ready, aim, and throw!" Paolo signaled.

"Nagdecide ako na tumapat ako sa plato ko para hindi nila matamaang dalawa pero kami ni Suzuki nag-ganunan lang kami, meaning kakampi ko si Suzuki that time," Charles said.

The smashing continued. Mika missed a couple of shots, while her plates were hit one by one. With one stone left to use for each of the players, Paolo counted the remaining plates--three remaining plates for Suzuki, four for Charles and two for Mika.

When there were no more stones left to throw, Paolo declared that Charles won the immunity.

Charles said that it was his dream coming true. Suzuki and Charles then hugged one another before Paolo gave the immunity necklace to the "raketista."

Paolo then gave an important announcement regarding the hidden immunity object.

"Si Charles ay hindi pwedeng iboto sa tribal council bukas ligtas siya. Tatagal pa ng ilang araw pa sa isla and you're guaranteed one of 6 shots for 3 million pesos. Okay, ilang reminder lamang, alam naman nating lahat na meron tayong hinahanap na hidden immunity object, meron na lang kayong hanggang final 5 upang gamitin ito. Ibig sabihin tribal council tomorrow and the next tribal council, pagkatapos nooon, wala nang bisa ang immunity object kung may makahanap man sa inyo," Paolo said.

But Suzuki knew the repercussions of Charles winning the immunity necklace.

"Nararamdaman ko talaga iyong plano namin si Shaun, parang sira na," Suzuki said.

For Justine, Charles getting the immunity gave her a sense of relief.

"Noong si Charles iyong nakakuha ng immunity masaya ako, kasi kumbaga para bang medyo natutupad na iyong plano ko, naiisip ko na kung sino iyong matatanggal kahit papaano," Justine said.


THE SECRET IMMUNITY. After the challenge, the Sonsorol tribe went back to their camp and their first goal was to wash the paint off their bodies. Justine rubbed Amanda and Mika's face to get the paint off. Charles rubbed Suzuki's face and back. Suzuki even gave Charles a peak of his behind.

Later, while Suzuki was hanging his clothes, Jef approached him and asked about his plan for the tribal council.

Suzuki: "Madami kayo e, nahihirapan kami."
Jef : "Nahihirapan ka? Bakit wala ba kayong usapan? Siyempre meron kayo ano? Lolokohin mo ba ko?
Suzuki: "Ha? Ha?"
Jef : "Siyempre may usapan din kayong mga boys."
Suzuki: "Nahihirapan kami. Konti lang kasi kaming mga lalaki."
Jef : "So may usapan kayo?"
Suzuki: "Pero wala kaming usapan na parang... Iniisip lang namin na natatakot kami. Kailangan mananalo kami sa immunity. Ganoon."
Jef : "Hindi ko alam, naguguluhan ako Zuks."

Jef admitted that she wanted to save Suzuki.

"Gusto ko kasi na masave si Suzuki so tina-try ko sabihin sa kanya na i-save na n'ya ‘yung sarili nya," Jef said. "Honestly, sa tingin ko walang diskarte si Suzuki. Parang ang ano ng heart niya, e. Wala talaga s'yang alam sa laro. Saka mabait kasi siya, e. Walang masamang timpla sa kanya, e," she added.

Suzuki then told Charles and Shaun that Jef was already getting confused. They talked about their plan for the tribal council taking into consideration the blood pearl.

"Isusunod namin after Justine si Mika, if ever. Kasi ang kinakatakot ko naman ‘pag si Justine iyong natanggal, ‘yung pula na bola ibibigay niya sa akin," Shaun said.

Elsewhere in the camp, Amanda and Mika were seen cooking up their votes for the tribal council. Mika had a feeling that Shaun already obtained the hidden immunity object.

"Talagang gusto namin si Shaun, pero sobrang gamble nga kung si Shaun ang unang i-vote-off namin kasi kung nasa kanya nga iyong bracelet, iyong pangalawang mas maraming votes ‘yung ma-vo-vote-out. E, alam naming yung vote ng mga boys is, si Justine," Mika said.

Later Mika warned Charles that the immunity object could have been already found by either Suzuki or Shaun,

Mika : "Sinabi na sa'yo? Na nahanap nila?"
Charles: "Hindi."
Mika : "Hindi."
Charles: "Nasa kanila na?"
Mika : "Pero hindi ko alam kung na kay Shaun or na kay Zuki."
Charles: "Paano mo nalaman?"

"Kasi I'm sure with Shaun, alam niya na close kami ni Charles so baka hindi niya nga sinasabi kay Charles," Mika said.

Later, Charles confronted Suzuki if they already found the hidden immunity object. Suzuki insisted that they haven't found it yet.

Charles: "Hindi n'yo pa ba nahahanap iyong immunity ano? Mahirap talaga hanapin?"
Suzuki: "Mahirap. Naghanap kami kahapon ni Shaun?"
Charles: "Wala talaga kayong nakita?"
Suzuki: "Wala talaga."
