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.

"Parang ang sarap din ng feeling na 'uy tatlo na lang tayo, parang pakiramdam talaga namin, kami na iyong top 3 talaga!" Justine said.

The trio went on with their plot.

Justine:            "Just keep your focus, Charles ha, just keep your focus, kung ano mang sabihin, palabasin na sa tainga, 'wag kang magpapaniwala kung ano mang paraan gagawin nila."

Jef       :             "Grabe sila ka ano 'no?"

Justine:             "Drastic masyado."

Jef       :             "Tama bang sabihin na kami ang top 2, sumama ka sa amin para madala ka namin sa top 3. Parang okay kaya parang, kami na kasi iyong mananalo e. So I'm sorry, aalisin, wala ngang sorry, aalisin ka, bye-bye na for you, kasi kami na 'tong winner."

Meanwhile, Mika and Amanda enjoyed their time in the pool. They also took the opportunity to plan their next move. Their goal was to keep Jef with them in the top 3.

Mika    :             "Plan A is Jef."

Amanda:             "Tanggalin?"

Mika    :             "No, no, no. Plan A is like Jef not tanggalin, kausapin. Which is what we already figured out. Plan B is if Charles has the bracelet... Sasabihin natin kay Charles na siya iyong ivo-vote out natin. Pero ang talagang ivo-vote out natin si Justine."

Amanda:             "Para gamitin ni Charles iyong bracelet."

Mika    :             "Plan C is the other way around. Kung na kay Justine..."

Amanda:             "Oo. Exact same thing noong kay Shaun."

Mika    :             "So pag na kay Justine sasabihin natin na siya iyong iboboto natin pero si Charles ang iboboto natin."

Amanda:             "Kailangan ma-top 3 natin si Jef. At saka, at least tatanggi ba si Jef, e, sure na 'yun sa 'ting dalawa na talagang top 3 siya. And chances pa manalo siya ng immunity."

But Mika's father had some insight of his own.

Mike    :             "Jef is much smarter than she seems. She's buddy-buddy with this jolly bee. You have to be really careful with her."

Amanda:            "She's coming out!"

Mika    :            "Her angry side came out yesterday. It's starting to show. "

Amanda:             "I know 'cause I've been with her, for like 35 days. And yesterday she wasn't the Jef I knew."

Mr. Batchelor knew that Jef was someone to look out for.

"Although they thought these two girls were not much of a competition for them, I told them if they got you thinking that they're not much competition for you, they're way ahead of you because that means they got you thinking they want you to think," Mika's father said.

But Mika didn't want to dwell on Jef.
