Survivor Philippines: Palau castaways Amanda and Mika, together with their loved ones, arrived at the Palau Pacific Resort in a speedboat.
Both Amanda and Mika were surprised to see the beautiful five-star resort. For both of the castaways, staying in a luxurious resort after 35 days of living on a remote island was exhilarating. Mika was thrilled to see a bed and a shower complete with hot water.
Later, Mika narrated to her Daddy Mike how she became the "ultimate crab hunter" as the male castaways got eliminated one after another.
MUNCH TIME. Mika, Amanda, Mike and Jovell then got to the buffet table for dinner. The best friends started munching on the desserts before taking the main course.
"I've never been so happy with dessert, like ever!" Mika exclaimed.
Amanda and Mika got each type of dessert and went back and forth at the buffet table. Jovell Abogador, the husband of Mika's cousin, was shocked by what he saw.
"Grabe, hindi ko sila kinaya ni Mika. Kaya kami ni Daddy Mike, nag-uusap na lang kami sa mata, dahil sila kumbaga kami siguro twice lang kami bumalik...Sila parang lagare na balik nang balik dun sa buffet," Jovell said.
Palauan dancers performed while the four were dining.
Back at the Sonsorol Camp, Charles wished for the chance to experience a resort vacation. But the two girls convinced themselves that they have not missed out on anything, since they have already experienced rewards in the past. However, there was a tinge of sourgraping on Justine's part.
Charles : "Tapos sinundo tayo ngayon 'no? Binabago na po namin 'yung ano, kasama na rin kayo dun sa five star."
Justine : "Ay naku! 'Wag ka na umasa."
Jef : "Okay lang yun."
Justine : "Okay lang yun, naranasan na natin lahat yun."
Charles : "Anong sinabing food?"
Jef : "Dinner buffet e, kasi pag five-star hotel, buffet 'yun sigurado."
Justine : "Hindi mo naman makakain lahat sa buffet, akala mo naman makakain mo lahat."
Justine was determined to get the immunity necklace come the next challenge and she also promised that she would hand it over to Jef.
Justine: "Ay, ang saya-saya kahit hindi tayo nag-hotel, nakita natin ang ating mga loved ones."
Jef : "Puwede na 'yun, e, 'no?"
Justine: "Kanila na 'yon, tutal hanggang dun na lang naman sila. Kaya bukas, galingan, ibigay lahat. Dapat isa sa atin. Naisip ko, sabi ko, ang mananalo may immunity, sa tribal council parang gusto ko lang ng eksena."
Jef : "Ano?"
Justine: "Ipapasa ko siya sa 'yo."
Jef : "Maldita ka!"
Justine: "Parang gusto ko lang ng eksena lang na kampante ako na I have ano a solid..."
Justine also said that she wanted to get Amanda eliminated first.
"Pero gusto ko si Amanda. 'Saka siya talaga ang parang nagpapa-boil ng water na ang aayus-ayos, siya yung nagbibigay pressure, stress sa loob nito, saka yun nga, parang nakita ko na parang humuhugot ng lakas si Mika ngayon sa kanya, parang always nakadepende yung desisyon kay Amanda," Justine told Jef.
The 'alliance' of three ate some bananas before going to sleep.
Day 36
FATHERLY ADVICE. Mika woke up her dad the next day. For breakfast, Amanda and Mika were delighted by a buffet of bagels, croissants, cream cheese, omelets, cereal, bacon and more mouth-watering treats.
While the girls were preoccupied with their feast, Mr. Batchelor constantly reminded Mika and Amanda to stay focused on the game.
"You better have an extra plan with you. If they throw something new and at the end, which I wouldn't be surprised if they do, some totally new thing that you never thought of somewhere in the end," Mike told the girls who were somewhat inattentive.
"Mika and Amanda were pretty much oblivious to this, because they were enjoying the hotel. They were forgetting what was going on back in the camp. So I kept trying to remind them," Mike said.
Indeed, what was happening back in the camp was a plot that would seal the fate of either two of the best of friends. Justine was especially happy waking up with Charles and Jef.
