Quest for supremacy begins for 6 remaining castaways on Survivor Philippines: Palau

Because the strongest steel is tested by the hottest flame. In the last three weeks of Survivor Philippines: Palau, the six remaining castaways real battle for domination begins. The challenges would be more intense, alliances would be unpredictable and trust would be put to the test more than ever. After spending 32 days in the islands of Palau and out of 16 castaways of different strengths and distinct personalities, only six remain standing. These are Charles de Vera Fernandez, the “Raketista" from Dagupan; Shaun Rodriguez, “the Hot Dad" from Zambales; Jef Gaitan, “the Girl Next Door" from Manila; Mika Batchelor, “The Sexy Chef" from Palawan, Amanda Colley Van Cooll “the Probinsyang Tisay" of Mindoro; and Justine Ferrer, “The Beauty Queen" from Caloocan. Charles, earlier perceived as one of the weakest of the castaways, has proven that being under the radar and trust-worthy would be an effective strategy for keeping solid alliances. But how long will his undercover act last to keep him from being blindsided and perhaps be ultimately eliminated? Or will the perceived ‘weakling’ become, ironically, the last man standing? Shaun, contrary to Charles, is hands-down the strongest physical threat among the remaining Castaways. But his show of force made him a walking target. Would he continue his winning streak for individual immunity and reward challenges to move on? Or would his last ditch effort to form an alliance keep him long enough to survive? Jef, also perceived as the weakest among the girls has been accused of getting the free ride to get this far as she held on with her alliance. But how long would the girls’ alliance keep her? Or would she finally take a stand for herself? Would her sweet demeanor turn sour and bring a bitter end to her quest to become the first Pinay Sole Survivor? Mika has earned the title as the “Queen Strategist" for keeping a powerful alliance and dominating the other castaways like the queen to her pawns in the game of chess. Everything appeared to be all figured out for her, but is it really? Will she taste a dose of her own medicine or would her reign in mind games prevail? Amanda, the female construction worker from Alaska, appeared to be Mika’s right hand as both of them became an inseparable duo. She has also stayed under the radar during challenges thus making her less of a threat. But does she have what it takes to prove that she could make it on top? Is she saving her very best for last? Justine’s story so far has been all about triumph and domination. After being the first castaway voted off, she has won all challenges in Isla Purgatoryo to gain the spot she now belongs. For some, perhaps the transexual castaway has nothing left to prove. But the Queen of Isla Purgatoryo has become more determined than ever – especially now that she has gained the trust of two alliances from the tribe. Will she reign supreme or would somebody dethrone her to put an end to her fairytale journey? Now, more than ever, it’s every castaway for himself/herself. Determination, tactics and relationships are put to the test, all in the name of the ultimate reality game show that started it all: Survivor Philippines: Palau at GMA Telebabad, after Rosalinda.
