While the other tribe members were chatting near the shelter, Nanay Zita swam in the beach and she was surprised to find a visitor swimming along with her: a blowfish.

She called out to the people on the shore to help her catch it and Marlon quickly ran to her thinking it was an emergency.

When they saw that Marlon was trying to catch the fish, JC, Rob and Cris quickly ran to help bring it to shore.

"Ang tanong, nakakain ba 'yan?" Kaye asked.

"Parang ito 'yung sinasabi ni Kiko na may lason, e," Marlon said.

"'Yung butete ba? 'Yung butete," Nanay Zita said.

"Ano, isosoli natin?" Marlon asked. "Nakakain kaya?"

"Oo, isda 'yan, e," Cris said.

"Apdo lang ang kinukuha diyan, e," Nanay Zita said.

"Ano, isosoli natin? Mamamatay siya," Marlon said as he poured some saltwater on the fish.

"Kainin natin," Nanay Zita said.

"Baka mamatay tayo," Marlon said. Then he placed the fish in a pot of seawater.

"Kasi hindi ako familiar sa isda. Pero sinabi niya sa 'kin, siya 'yung isda na 'yung mga nagluluto is lisensyadong chef lang. Kasi mayroon talagang poisonous sa kanya, e," Marlon told Nanay Zita.

Marlon knew the fish could be eaten but he was not sure how to cook it, "Actually, 'yung isdang 'yun, mahal 'yun, e. Sa China, talagang pang-gourmet siya, e. So puwedeng kainin, kaya lang kailangan matanggal mo 'yung dapat talagang tanggalin."

JC joked, "O, kung gusto nating kainin 'yan, si Marlon muna ang una. Parang guinea pig muna siya. Try muna niya. Kung walang mangyayari sa kaniya, puwede naming kainin."

"Okay lang kung may nakakaalam ng tatanggalin na nakakalason," Cris said.

"Kaya nga, e. Hindi natin alam kung anong matatanggal sa kaniya," Kaye said.

Nanay Zita joked, "Pitong Survivor, patay! Walang naka-survive."

Marlon laughed, "Bente-kuwatro oras. Survivor Philippines, walang Sole Survivor. Lahat patay!"

JC said he really had no plans of eating the fish, "Iba 'yung itsura niya, e, nakakatakot. Lumalaki pa. 'Yung scale niya kakaiba. Parang iba 'yung feeling. Siguro kahit gutom ako, hindi ko makakain 'yun, e."

Finally, Marlon decided to return the blowfish to sea. "Okay, sorry fishy. Alam mo poisonous ka, e. Kailangan bumalik ka na lang sa iyong tahanan."

Meanwhile, JC and Charisse were becoming fast friends.

Charisse said, "We were talking about his girlfriend, about the favorite topic na paulit-ulit na nagasgas na at pirated na rin, what will be life after Survivor."

"Masarap kakuwentuhan si Charisse dahil 'yung mga kuwentuhan namin may sense, hindi 'yung puro lokohan lang. Masaya ako na may nakakausap akong katulad ni Charisse," JC said.

Later on, Marlon caught a few pieces of shrimp but it was not enough for all of them.

Weakling

Kaye shared with JC her sentiments about Rob, "Hindi sa minamaliit ko si Rob, a. Pero hindi ko siya kino-consider na ma-out because of guy siya o malakas siya."

"Kasi si Rob, for me, hindi siya deserving mapasama sa merging dahil mas marami pa sa kanyang mas deserving. Kung sa game mo titignan, si Rob sana gusto kong ma-vote out," Kaye said.

But JC felt that being low-key was Rob's tactic, "Hindi natin alam, malay mo, ganoon lang talaga umpisa niya. Nagtataka ako, e, ang laki ng katawan niya, e. Imposibleng mahina 'yan. Kita mo sa reward, siya 'yung pinakamalakas na bato. Ako hindi ko na kaya, e. Hindi ko mabato, e."

With the upcoming Tribal Council, Marlon was on the move again to influence Kaye and Cris.

"Siyempre Naak na lang 'yan. Ang usapan niyan, bahala na lang sa Immunity necklace. Ganito mangyayari niyan, magtatanggal tayo. 'Pag ka hindi nakuha ni Cris ang Immunity, lalaglag si Cris," Marlon told Kaye.

Marlon explained, "Kasi ang nakikita ko, lima sila, 'di ba? So sinasabi kong plano is, si Cris at si Kaye (laban) sa tatlo. So sinasabi ko, tatakutin ko 'yung dalawa, si Cris tsaka si Kaye. Point of no return na sila. Magtanggal muna kayo ng isa. At least maging pantay ba, apat-apat. So kung sakaling mag-final four, hindi dehado sila."

But Kaye could not quite understand what Marlon meant, "Sobrang naguguluhan ako sa sinasabi niya. Actually, may point lahat ng sinsasabi niya pero hindi ko alam kung naninira siya o ano. Pero lahat ng sinasabi niya may dating sa 'kin. Actually, siya nga 'yung nagbigay ng talino sa 'kin para matanggal si Kiko noon, e."

As they watched a beautiful sunset, Rob said, "May misteryo diyan, pare, kung bakit ganiyan kaganda. Alam mo Charisse to tell you the truth, kahit 'di na ko mag-dinner. With this scenery, busog na ko."

Gay night

That night, the men entertained the girls with their macho song and dance numbers.

Rob said, "Actually, most of the time, we'd sing at night. Bago kami matulog, kantahan talaga 'yan to the max. In fact, mayroon ngang nagsisisi dito si Kaye, kung bakit mirror ang kaniyang luxury item. Dapat pala luxury item daw niya songhits."

For Marlon, it was the only outlet to ease their loneliness, "'Yung gabi na 'yun, parang gusto namin, pageant muna tayo. Kahit magmukha na kong ano, para maging masaya lang 'yung gabi. Ma-enjoy namin. At least, medyo masaya talaga, entertaining, parang mawawala 'yung lungkot.

Marlon continued, "Kasi dito sa isla, akala mo, nakangiti kami. Pero sa totoo lang, hirap na hirap na rin kami dito. Sa kalooban, physically, lahat. Sa hygiene, pagtulog, sa madaling araw gigising ka. Parang nagiging escape namin, maglalaro. 'Yun talaga 'yung pinakamagandang magiging escape namin dito sa island, e. Huwag mo siyang didibdibin. 'Pag dinibdib mo siya, maaga ka susuko. So masayang-masaya 'yung gabi."

Marlon, Rob, JC and Cris acted like gay show hosts and had a program in front of the girls.

Charisse said, "May mga abs 'tong mga lalaking 'to tapos biglang nagbabaklaan kayo diyan. Sobrang 'di bagay. Sobrang nakakatawa lang talaga. Nag-enjoy ako noong gabing 'yun."

Rob and Marlon were calling JC, Jessica and asked him to stand in the center.

Kaye, who acted as the beauty pageant judge, was about to ask JC a question when Rob chimed in, "Wait, wait. Jessica, porma." Then Rob posed with his hands on his hips.

JC tried to imitate Rob much to everyone's laughter.

"Go, girl!" Rob said.

"You can do it, girl," Marlon encouraged him.

"Catwalk, catwalk," Rob said.

"Catwalk like this," Marlon said.

JC rode along with the joke and asked Kaye, "Can he be my translator?" while pointing to Cris.

Marlon admitted they did put JC on the spot, "E, di nagbabakla-baklaan kami, gusto namin kasi makita kung paano umarte nang bakla si JC. Sige nagkatuwaan kami noong gabi."

JC said, "Medyo tinry ko naman. Hindi ko talaga ma-imagine sarili ko na ganoon, so hirap na hirap ako."

"Parang ang hindi bumigay, si JC lang talaga. Siguro nahihiya siya na makita ng mga magulang niya o mga kaibigan niya na bumigay siya, " Nanay Zita observed.

"Si JC talaga 'yung medyo konting effort lang niya na mag-act nang bakla, tawang-tawa na ko kasi hindi talaga bagay," Charisse said. "Pero 'yung sa tatlo, as in sobrang kering-keri nila."

After the intervierw portion, the girls asked for the "beauty pageant contestants" to show their talent.

"What do you want? Floor show, striptease or what?" Marlon asked.

"Pinaka-sexy. Paseksihan," Charisse answered.

Marlon pretended to do a strip-tease with matching sound effects.

Suddenly, Rob said, "Wait, wait. Nasusuka ako. Nasusuka ako. Huwag, nasusuka ako."

"I'm sexier than you naman. What do you think, 'no? I've got cleavage, o," Marlon retorted.

"Robbie. Robina," Charisse called Rob.

Suddenly, Rob darted in the middle of the group with no shorts on.

"Alam mo kasi, 'pag matagal ka na dito sa isla, minsan nababaliw ka na, e," Rob admitted. "Importante din talaga, aside from your physical, e, 'yung mental condition mo, e, maayos. But again, kahit gaano kaayos ng utak mo. Minsan hindi mo maiwasan gumawa ng kalokohan."

"Aminin"

After the beauty pageant, the boys had a show called "Aminin."

Rob explained, "Kaming apat, magtatanong doon sa tatlong judge. It's our turn to ask questions to the judges. At bulung-bulungan. At kung ano 'yung sagot, ibubulong lang namin sa isa't isa. At magre-react kami nang katakot-takot. Violent reactions."

"Bakla, sumali ka sa amin," Rob said. "Chitae."

"Ibubulong lang natin siya kung totoo ba talaga," Marlon said. "Gusto ko 'yan, bakla. Ano sa tingin mo?"

"Puwede," Rob said. "Oy, sandali lang, bakla. Bago mo ibulong, ibubulong ko muna sa kaibigan ko."

Then he approached the camera and whispered, "Gaano mo kamahal si ____?"

"Ibulong mo na," Rob told Marlon. "Sasagutin nang maayos."

Marlon whispered the question to Kaye.

After she whispered her answer, Rob said, "Ay! Kailangan kong ibulong. Mahal na mahal. Ay!"

The boys shrieked like little girls.

"Binubulong niyo pa, sinasabi niyo rin," Kaye said.

Marlon then shifted the attention to Charisse, "Parang gusto kong tanuning 'yung isa nating guest dito. "

"Ganito tanong ko," Rob said, then he whispered the question to JC.

JC whispered the question to Charisse.

"Aminin!" Marlon said.

JC explained, "Tinatanong ko kung may napi-feel talaga siya kay Kiko. Kasi noong andito si Kiko, sobrang close sila. Tinatanong nga rin ni Rob kung may feelings daw siya talaga kay Kiko. Dineny naman ni Charisse. Pero para sa 'min, tingin ko, mayroon talaga kasi 'pag ka nandiyan si Kiko, kilig na kilig siya. Tapos sobrang close sila ni Kiko."

After whispering her answer, Marlon could not believe Charisse so he approached the camera and said, "Ibubulong natin sa kaibigan natin. Kung wala kang nararamdaman, bakit kailangang magkayakap kayo sa gabi."

Charisse just laughed.

Then Kaye put Nanay Zita in the spotlight, "Mommy, kung magkakaroon ng love teams dito, may pag-asa ba si Gigit?"

"Ay! Nakakaloka," Marlon said.

"Single, 'yun, single. Walang asawa," Charisse said.

"Wala. Ay, 'sus, ginoo! He's not my type," Nanay Zita said.

Then Rob said, "Oy, may naalala ako, sinabi ni Mommy tungkol kay Gigit. Bakla alam mo kung anong sinabi. Baka hindi tumagal si Gigit nang tatlong round."

Nanay Zita just laughed and pinched Rob.

"Kinurot ako!" Rob said.

Nanay Zita admitted, "Isinali pa nila ako. Kung maaari ba maging ka-love team ko si Gigit. Sabi ko, 'Naku, 'wag niyo na ako isali doon. At hindi 'yun ang lalaki, hindi 'yun ang tipo ng lalaki na gusto ko.' Sabi ko sa kanila."

Later that night, Marlon was prodding Rob, "Bakla, umamin ka na."

"Bakla, umayos ka," Rob said.

"Ibig mong sabihin talagang seryoso ka, pare?" Marlon asked.

"Seryoso saan?" Rob asked.

"'Di ba sabi mo, si Veronica pang-girlfriend. Hindi siya 'yung tipong pang-chicks?"

"O, totoo naman sinasabi ko."

Marlon grinned.

"Bakla, tigilan mo ko, a," Rob said.

After the enjoyment was over, the reality of their situation set in again.

As the Castaways prepared to sleep, the lingering thoughts on their mind were the upcoming Immunity Challenge and the only rule that helps them survive: "Trust no one."

Little did they know that it was a foreboding night because the next day held a surprise that would move everyone to tears.
