The green, great, grand Price.....


In every reality game show, viewers and participants are all excited of what the show can offer in terms of prices. In this gma-7's newest and grandest reality show, the first filipino ultimate sole survivor will receive three million(3 million) pesos tax free! This is the biggest price ever offered for a local reality show! This doesn't end there, the most awaited "castaways" will join the 80 member production staff of GMA-7 including its host Paolo Bediones in a remote island outside the Philippines. Well, this is because as per Castaway Productions' regulation, there is no Survivor franchise that is being held in the country of the franchisee in this case, the Philippines. As survivors trademark, pinoy viewers will probably expecting breathtaking views of nature, sea and wildlife.
Audition is over and i'm sure a lot of people are waiting for gma's announcement who the castaways, the place and of course the pilot episode of this most awaited reality show in the philippines... Survivor Philippines!!!!

Game rules


Although this is a reality show, rules still apply. This are the rules for every survivor show:

* Conspiring to split winnings will result in immediate expulsion from the game.
* Except for the occasional challenges which involve wrestling or limited combat, any physical violence between players will result in immediate expulsion from the game.
* At Tribal Council, players are not permitted to vote for themselves, nor can they spoil their ballots or decline to cast a vote. Players must also show who they voted for to the camera inside the voting booth.
* Contestants must abide by U.S. law as well as local law. Breaking any of these laws will result in immediate removal from the game.
* Contestants may not skip any tribal councils, nor can they refuse to participate in an immunity or reward challenge, unless the game offers them the opportunity to do so.
* Tribe members may not raid or visit the campsite of another tribe unless they are doing so as part of an immunity challenge, reward challenge or tribal merger activity with the other tribe. They also cannot visit the TV crew compound. Exceptions to this rule have been made, as a result of accident or challenge victories.
* If a contestant becomes seriously injured or sick, the player, fellow contestants, the host, or even the crew filming the players may call in a medical team for help. In some cases, the player can be treated at their camp, but the player may also be deemed unable to participate further by the medical team and is then taken from camp to a medical facility, and removed from the game.
* Depending on which country the show takes place in, contestants may be barred from killing certain forms of plant or animal life.

Most of us enjoy watching the show and doesn't care what are the rules since we are more focus on the immunity challenge, immunity rewards, sexy and handsome castaways. Well, Charlie Parsons laid a very nice format in this show which will be experienced and hopefully enjoyed by the selected (very lucky) castaways. Hopefully the show will bring some very Pinoy style(hopefully unique), maybe the name of the tribe. but of course, even they won't bring-in pinoy style on show, we cannot demand GMA to do so since the format of the show is isolating the participants into a remote island, which in reality, if ever a person will be isolated in an island by an event, he's not sure if it's in the Philippines.

Hmmmm, Is Paolo Bediones will use the show's famous line: "Survivors ready?...GO!"? we'll see...

Raise the plug!



At last, a better survivor Philippines has been created! This plug shows ordinary filipino people who are survivors in their own ways. In fact many of us are really survivors if you'll think of what is really happening now in our country. Hopefully one of this days, a sole survivor will arise and make a real change in this beautiful country.

Anyway, I still don't have any idea when will be the premiere of this most awaited tv show in kapuso network. And based on the number of people who came to audition, this show will again prove that filipinos are really survivors!

The survivor host... Paolo Bediones

As every kapuso know, Paolo Bediones is one of Philippines most premiere reality show host. His tv show hosting expertise will be again put into test and probably most of kapuso (and hopefully kapamilyas) will be amazed by his hosting style.

With twelve years of hosting experience under his belt, Paolo has done everything from news magazine, game show, quiz show, travel show, to showbiz talk show. But this time, Paolo takes on a bigger challenge. Survivor Philippines, coming from the international Survivor franchise, can only be grander than anything previously seen on local TV.

Being a self-confessed Survivor fanatic, things couldn’t be more exciting for Paolo, who is already prepping for his new show. Revisiting old Survivor episodes and learning the show’s production bible by heart are only some of the things keeping Paolo busy these days. The active and adventurous host is undergoing physical training to be his fittest for Survivor Philippines, where he takes viewers on an amazing journey to the great outdoors. Paolo is all set to take sixteen castaways to a remote island for a 39-day challenge designed to test their brains and brawn.
