While everyone’s gone gaga with Survivor Samoa and evil Russell’s antics and while most of the Filipino viewers want the transgender comeback Isla Purgatoryo godess Justine Ferrer to win, I, on the other hand is rooting for Charles Fernandez!

Last night had probably spelt Charles’ wisest decision in the game – to align with Justine and Jef to boot out one of the queens Amanda and Mika. It is a wise move since he’s actually the one who’s out of the alliance, at the same time, Amanda and Mika won’t feel he betrayed them, possible votes for the Finale.Initially, I predicted Amanda to be voted off, but she got immunity and that had Mika going home.

So now what? Amanda will be left to scramble but Jef is wise – and I hope Charles will be wise, too. If they don’t take out Justine next, they won’t stand a chance. Paolo Biddy Banks had already said that instead of a Final 2 this season, there will be a Final 3. There are seven jury votes. If they boot her out, Amanda will probably get the least votes at the jury since she along Mika were the culprits of the voteoffs for more than half of those in the jury. That’d lead us to Jef and Charles.

Jef’s probable sure vote is Marvin. She can either get Mika’s vote – well, that depends on her answers on the final tribal council.
Charles may be able to get Shaun, Tara and Echo.

This is the scenario that will most likely happen. The key for Charles to win is to boot off Justine next.

As of now, there are five remaining castaways, the queens Amanda Coolley Van Coole and Mika Batchelor together with Jef Gaitan had probably made almost all the decisions in the game thus far. However, we still have the comeback Isla Purgatoryo godess, Justine Ferrer and the underdog Charles Fernandez. Ferrer, the first person voted off and Charles, the one who you think won’t stand a chance.

Last week, Shaun Rodriguez, the man of steel from Zambales was voted off. Though I think this has really lessened the possibility of Charles, Justine and Jef winning the game – I still think they can win. As of now, I’m rooting for a Jef or Charles win but this is anybody’s game, and I wouldn’t mind any of the remaining five winning.

This week’s tribal council would spell a lot of things. If Jef, Justine and Charles won’t be smart enough to take out either Amanda or Mika, they’re dead. But knowing how strong Mika is, she’ll win Immunity and Amanda will be booted off. Once Amanda goes home, the best position is in Jef’s hands – she can either stay on with Justine and Charles or side with Mika. If Mika wins another immunity, siding with her wouldn’t be a bad move. They can eliminate Justine, as she is a threat. Whomever gets Justine into the Final 2 will lose – they have to be smart enough to know that. That’s why Justine would be eliminated either F3 or F4 if these people are wise.

As of now, I am leaning on a Charles, Jef, Mika final three.
