After days of starving in the island, Nanay Zita, Rob, Kiko and JC enjoyed their meals at the Fishing Village.

"Ngayon biglang may chicken kami, may meat, may Tom Yum, parang may spices. Iba 'yung sarap ng alam mong kumpleto 'yung kinakain mo," JC said.

After their dinner, JC, Kiko and Nanay Zita helped the Thai family to make a delicacy made of sticky rice.

As a sign of gratitude, one of the women gave Nanay Zita an anklet.

Meanwhile, Kiko enjoyed eating the sticky rice delicacy. He also bonded with one of the old men in the village who tried to teach the group some Thai words.

Broken alliances

At the Chalam camp, Cris was venting to Charisse, "Kung mayroon kang napapansin isang bagay, ilagay mo sa utak mo sa puso mo. At tsaka mo planuhin sa loob mo. Sa 'kin sa side ko, kalmado ako 'yung diskarte ko, inuunti - unti ko, inaalam - alam ko rin."

Later on, Kaye shared her own sentiments about the Naak alliance, "Sana hindi na makalabas 'to. Ako lang ino - open ko lang 'to as a player. Sabi ko nga si Mommy Zita, kung hindi ako player dito, hindi ako kasali dito, siya talaga 'yung gusto kong manalo sa Survivor. Pero dahil kasali tayo dito, parang binibigay natin lahat ng chance natin kay Mommy Zita. Lahat tayo dito competitor."

Marlon tried to cut off Kaye but she waved him away, "Mamaya ka na."

"She's not talking to you, you make it quiet!' Cris said. "Alam niyo 'Lon, may nakikita akong mga bagay na hindi parehas at tama."

"Doon ako, swear," Kaye said. "'Yun 'yun Cris, 'yun 'yung gusto kong sabihin sa 'yo."

Marlon was quite pleased about how things were working out. His plan might be working after all.

Marlon said, "Sabi ko kay Charisse, ipunin mo 'yan. Pag-usapin mo sila, ilabas nila 'yung sama ng loob nila. Kasi ayaw nilang mag - usap. Nag - iilagan sila. Parang nag - iilagan 'yung dalawa, baka chumuchu 'yung isa. Nag - iilagan, baka chumuchu si Cris, baka chumuchu si Kaye. Kasi nga magkagrupo sila 'di ba?"

"So feeling ni Kaye, dalawa kaming ginawang pamato," Cris said. "Ginagamit kami ng side doon sa kabila (Naak), ginagamit kami sa side sa kabila (Jarakay)."

But Kaye said that Naak was still in her heart, "'Yung pagiging loyalty ko sa Naak, andoon. Pero 'yung iniisip ko, may hindi talaga tama. Parang unfair sa 'kin, unfair din sa 'yo."

"Ito pa napansin ko," Cris said, "Kaye, ito io-open ko na, ang napansin ko, bakit walang decision 'yung dalawa? Bakit puro na lang si Kiks ang nagde-desisyon."

"'Yun, isa pa 'yun," Kaye agreed. "Every game din, every challenge."

Meanwhile, Marlon was just smirking in a corner.

Kaye had a realization, "Dati kasi hindi ko napapansin. Oo lang ako nang oo kay Kiko na 'O sige ganito na lang gawin natin.' Nagsusumbong pa ko kung ano 'yung mga nalalaman ko. Hindi naman labag sa loob ko 'yun dati pero ngayon nauntog na ko. 'Yun ang masakit sa 'kin, may nagde-decide na isang tao sa 'min, ayoko ng ganoon."

Kaye then confessed that she wanted to vote out Nanay Zita and Kiko in the next Tribal Council.

Vern, Charisse and Marlon agreed.

But Cris prompted the group to choose just one, "Sa dalawa na 'yan, naglalaro na 'yan, ako uunahin ko, Kiko."

Vern observed, "Si Kiko na sobra talaga na magdikta sa kanila. Sinasabi niya na 'I'm not a leader.' Pero siya talaga 'yung nagdidikta."

Everyone agreed that they would vote out Kiko in the next Tribal Council.

Charisse clarified, "Hindi naman talaga siya pagbubuo ng isang alyansa na 'Tayong lima, tara, baligtarin na natin 'yung unang Naak.' More on tanggalin na natin kung sino 'yung nagdidikta para lahat na tayo pantay - pantay ang tsansa makuha 'yung tatlong milyon at 'yung title ng Sole Survivor."

The group continued to make plans for the upcoming Tribal Council.

In case there was a double elimination and either Nanay Zita or Kiko won in the Immunity Challenge, Vern suggested that they should vote out JC.

Charisse wanted to vote out Rob "para wala nang maingay."

Marlon said, "Nakikita ko kay Kaye, gusto niyang matanggal lang si Zita tapos tapos na. Sinasabi ko, 'Huwag, tapusin muna natin si Kiko tapos bigay natin si Zita.' Pag nakita nilang effective, para makita nila puwedeng maging big five, final five na kami."

Cris then revealed to the group Kiko's plan.

When Jarakay was still composed of all men, Kiko initiated an alliance among them. But when the tribes suddenly shuffled and the men and women were mixed, Kiko brought the all men's alliance to Naak.

Cris explained, "Sumang - ayon din ako siyempre kasi lalaki ako, pero na-feel ko kanina, napapansin ko sa sinasabi ni Kiks, wow sabi ko 'Bakit parati siyang nagdedesisyon at naeetsepuwera ako.'"

"Pinagpipilian ka niya, ni JC, ikaw or si Rob kukunin niya sa reward," Kaye explained. "Sabi pa ni Kiko 'Sige JC, ikaw bahala. Mag - isip kang mabuti.'"

"Pero ano 'yun may sinabi siyang from heart something," Vern said.

"Oo. 'Kung anong nasa puso mo, sino 'yung pipiliin mo.' Parang ganoon. Bakit nagsasalita ka ng ganoon? Kinokonsensya mo 'yung tao eh," Kaye said.

"Hindi ako ang nagbigay ng dahilan para basagin 'yang for the boys na 'yan. Feeling ko dude, inaksyunan nila 'yung for the boys, basag ang for the boys. For the boys, naetsepuwera ako!" Cris said.

Charisse ended the discussion, "Let's see na lang, let's see. Sana tomorrow, isa sa 'tin manalo. Whatever mag - fish, please walang magbibigay."

Kaye was hesitant about acting plastic in front of Kiko, JC, Rob and Nanay Zita.

"Bakit sino bang plastic? Sa nangyari sa 'kin kanina, anong ginawa?" Cris asked.

Charisse understood Cris' sentiments, "Nasaktan siya kung ano 'yung nangyari sa alyansa niya with the boys."

Kaye admitted she was also hurt when the group left her out of the reward, "Sabi ko nga dati one of the boys ako. Sobrang trust ko talaga sa kanila. Pero ngayon si Cris na nagsabi sa 'kin na dati pa lang gusto na nila akong tanggalin."

Kaye told Marlon she pitied him which led Marlon to conclude Naak's plan to use him in the tribe before voting him out.

"Naawa talaga ako sa 'yo," Kaye said. "Sobra."

"Gagamitin nila ako, malakas ako. Gagamitin nila ako sa camp life, 'yung galing ko sa camp life tapos tatanggalin nila ako," Marlon concluded.

"Naawa talaga ako sa 'yo, masama 'yun," Kaye said.

"Alam mo kung bakit? Hinain ko na rin 'yun eh. 'Yun ang strategy ko, magpapaalipin ako para ihuli ako (sa botohan)," Marlon admitted.

Charisse was surprised that Marlon revealed his strategy. "To use Marlon, before voting him out. Parang it's not part of the game."

"Ito usapang tao talaga 'to ah. Usapang matino 'to. Sa 'tin wala nang alliance ah. Individual," Kaye clarified to the group.

Marlon said, "Nag-commit siya (Kaye). Binitawan niyang salita, pagkatapos nang matanggal natin 'tong maduduming 'to. Magkanya - kanya tayo, Immunity ang labanan."

Kaye still felt hurt, "Minamahal mo, minamahal ka rin naman. Pero 'yun pala, may plano rin naman pala sa 'yong patayin ang apoy mo."

That night Marlon felt relieved that his schemes had worked, "Naging masaya ako. Bago ako matulog kagabi, nawala 'yung kaba sa dibdib ko na 'Hay, malapit na ko sa slaughterhouse.' Medyo lumaki na naman 'yung tsansa ko."

The next morning, Charisse told Marlon she was decided on eliminating Kiko, JC, Rob and Nanay Zita. The Jarakay members saw a light of hope with Kaye and Cris turning their backs agains the Naak alliance. This might just be their chance to stay longer in the game.

Marlon agreed, "Tapos magsimula tayo nang malinis. Go. Payag ako doon. Malinis din akong tao. Usapang tao nga lang 'di ba?"

"Gusto ko lang kasi tumagal talaga," Charisse said.

Marlon said, "Ako nga mapasok lang ako sa top four, okay na eh."

"I will revive my spirit, na parang I will play this game," Charisse resolved.

"Maglaro ka muna. Mag - isip ka. Mag - muni muni ka," Marlon advised. "Makiramdam ka, maging vigilante ka."

Charisse admitted, "Ayokong magmukhang selfish, ayoko magmukhang gahaman sa pera and all. Pero sa totoo lang naman eh, lahat naman talaga bago pumasok dito, ganoon naman 'yung main goal, to win the three million pesos, to be declared as the first Pinoy Sole Survivor."

Later on, Marlon continued his smear campaign against Nanay Zita, "Marunong siya, nilalaro niya 'yung laro. Ginagamit niya 'yung pagiging mother image niya para sa laro."

"Mga mama's boys," Cris said.

With all the schemes and betrayals going on, Kaye felt even more determined to play her best game, "Napag-aralan ko, itong mga 'to, masyado silang apektado sa three million. Ako din. Sabi ko, 'Sige ako din.' Dati wala talaga akong pakialam sa three million or sa top two, wala akong pakialam eh. Pero ngayon, na nagiging pautakan talaga 'yung nangyayari, 100 percent ibibigay ko talaga."

While they were scrubbing themselves at the beach, Charisse and Vern agreed that it was time to step up their game.

"Actually gusto ko talaga 'yung proposal talaga ni Kaye na parang sige lang let's just go. Tama na 'yung mga vested interest na. Let everybody have a chance to win," Charisse said.

"Tayo na 'yung kumilos, hindi 'yung sila 'yung magpapakilos," Vern agreed.

Charisse seemed to look at Kiko in a different light, "Nawindang talaga ako kay Kiko as in. Grabe ka sales - talk talaga, ibang klase. Kasi most likely, kung silang dalawa umabot ni JC, talagang malamang siya 'yung iboboto ko (na Sole Survivor)," Charisse admitted.

"Si Kiko?" Vern asked.

"Oo," Charisse said.

"Siyempre nagkaroon kayo ng time together," Vern said.

"Grabe, ibang klase," Charisse said.

"Kahit napag - usapan namin na mayroon na kaming ivo-vote out. Five kami and four sila, so parang hindi ako naging kampante doon," Vern said.

Fulfilling experience

Even if their accommodations in the fishing village were far from luxurious, Nanay Zita, JC, Kiko and Rob were thankful that they had comfortable quarters to sleep in.

"Simula nang dumating ako dito sa isla, talagang kagabi lang ako nakatulog nang may kumot pa, may unan pa," Nanay Zita said.

Rob was simply happy to enjoy a good breakfast.

Kiko said, "Parang nilulubo ko lang talaga. Parang na -miss ko 'tong mga bagay na 'to. Tinake for granted ko noong nasa sibilisasyon ako, ngayon parang nakita ko, natikman ko uli. Parang, ay sobrang, 'Thank you Lord.'"

Though the bath room was cramped, JC enjoyed taking a bath.

Suddenly, Rob knocked on the door and warned JC, "Be careful, be careful with this. Because I thought this is shampoo, I put in my head. I smell something different, only to find out this is feminine wash. I put in my head, my goodness! Be careful."

JC said, "Sobrang okay 'yung feeling na nakapag - banyo uli kami. Kahit na 'yung style ng banyo nila, parang naka - squat ka pa rin. Pero 'yung feeling lang na hindi ka na kailangan maghukay, na hindi ka sa sand dumudumi. Parang sobrang sarap ng feeling. Nakaligo pa kami."

Before leaving the village, Rob, Kiko and JC gave bracelets to the old man in the village with a promise to visit them again to go fishing and bird hunting.

They also bid goodbye to the Thai children in the community and Rob taught them the dance he often did in the island.

"Ang sarap ng feeling ko na sa simpleng wink lang ng mata ko at ngiti, eh binabalik nila sa 'kin, eh sobra - sobrang smiles sa mukha. 'Yun ang hindi mababayaran ng kahit ano mang bagay o materyal eh," Rob said.

Kiko also felt fulfilled by the experience, "Dito itong experience na 'to, sobrang rewarding. And kung ihahambing mo doon sa game eh, talagang mas kapana-panabik 'tong nangyari sa 'min na 'to."

Nanay Zita could not help but cry as she embraced the matriarch of the community and said her goodbyes.

JC and Kiko were grateful for the experience.

"Sobrang simple ng buhay nila dito. Nakikita ko na sobrang saya nila, 'yung luho nila wala," JC said.

"Sobrang nakakagaan ng loob. You're miles away from the Philippines pero parang you're so close to home," Kiko said.

As they traveled back to the island, Kiko thought about the tribe members they left behind in the island, "Masaya ako na makakasama ko uli 'yung dalawang kapatid namin. Lagi ko silang naiisip. Siyempre parang pamilya na namin 'yun. Siyempre parang naiwan sila doon. Concerned din kami kung anong nangyayari sa kanila. Of course, medyo dito sagana kami sa pagkain, I can't help but feel bad na 'di ko ma - share kay Kaye tsaka Cris itong nangyari sa 'min. Hindi lang 'yung pagkain, kundi 'yung whole experience itself."
