Survivor returned to CBS with its 25th season and this season, it is Survivor Philippines. Fifteen castaways will play for the big prize for the first time and there will be three returning contestant who had to leave their own seasons early due to medical reasons. — all of whom were forced to withdraw from the competition on account of medical issues.
The 18 castaways will be divided in three groups: Kalabaw (“Water Buffalo”), Tandang (“Rooster”) and Matsing (“Monkey”). The three returning players are Michael Skupin, Jonathan Penner and Russell Swan. We also have Lisa Whelchel the star of “The Facts of Life”. There is also former National League MVP Jeff Kent of the San Francisco Giants.
LIVE SHOW RECAP
This season, we have three tribe instead of the usual two because we have never had 18 players. Lisa Welchel who starred in The Facts of Life hopes that no one will recognize her. Are you kidding me? She has one of the most recognizable faces for anyone over 30.
Jeff Probst informs everyone about the three returning players. We have Russell Swan from Survivor: Samoa who you may remember passed out because of severe dehydration. We also have Jonathan Penner from Survivor: Macronesia. He contacted an infection that almost killed him. Finally, there is Michael Skupin from Survivor: Australia who got burned when he fell in a fire. Why any of them want to be back is beyond me. Each of the returning players are placed on a different tribe.
Jeff tells the players that they have 60 seconds to take as much supplies as possible off of the boats they are in.
Russell who is on tribe Matsing tells people he is not their leader but he keeps telling people what to do! Jeff who is on tribe Kalabaw hurt his knee already but is trying to keep it a secret.
RC on Tandang tribe tells people she is an assistant when in fact she is an investment banker. Abi is being a flirt with all the guys. RC asks Michael to form an alliance.
Jeff is also hiding the fact that he is a former baseball player. Lisa tells her tribe that she is in the “ministry of moms” and an author. She says she is a Survivor super fan and can’t wait to lose weight. RC who is lying about her own profession finds it hard to trust Lisa and is trying to turn the rest of the tribe against her. Michael had of course recognized Lisa and thinks she should just fess up because it could be her trump card. He tells her that he knows who she is and wants to work with her.
Denise is a therapist. Zane has had many jobs. Zane has already made several alliances and Malcolm tells Denise about them.
Michael has already managed to hurt his foot, cut his head and hurt his hand.
Katie sees Jonathan as a dangerous player. Russell finds the immunity clue by dumb luck in a bag of rice when he was about to cook some. Zane was watching it all and knows that Russ has found the clue.
IMMUNITY CHALLENGE:
The players play in twos and have to climb a wall to retrieve paddles. Once they have paddles, they go to the water and give them to another pair to use them to row out and find a chest. Another pair then has to remove the puzzle pieces from the chest. The first tribe to complete the puzzle wins immunity. As does the runner-up tribe.
Kalabaw wins the immunity challenge and also a fire making kit reward. Tandang comes in second and wins flint. Matsing is last and will be heading to tribal council where they will vote off one of their own players.
So, who got voted off of the first episode of Survivor Philippines? Zane was the first person eliminated and going home tonight.
