PAUTAKAN! PAGALINGAN! PATATAGAN!

GMA is in search of contestants from 18 to 60 years old, physically fit and willing to become castaways and endure intense physical and mental challenges in an unfamiliar territory for 39 days.

If you think you got what it takes to be one of the 16 castaways for SURVIVOR PHILIPPINES, go to any of the nationwide auditions in key cities in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

The audition dates are as follows:

DAVAO (SM Davao) - May 1 and 2
CEBU (SM Cebu) - May 5 and 6
ILOILO (SM Iloilo) - May 8 and 9
BAGUIO (SM Baguio) - May 17 and 18
MANILA (SM North Edsa) - May 21 and 22
MANILA (SM Manila) - May 23

Be part of the biggest reality show worldwide!

Be the Philippines’ first sole SURVIVOR!

=====

Okay, "Outwit. Outplay. Outlast." sounds so much better than "PAUTAKAN! PAGALINGAN! PATATAGAN!"

But after seeing how GMA is handling the Idol franchise, I'm really worried about this one.

And also the question is: Will this show survive?

I really hope so.

Is there any truth to the rumor that the next Survivor in the US will be filmed here in the Philippines?

Da*n, I hope that they don't do a PBB and turn it into another frigging cursillo.

Survivor Philippines?

I think they will just embarrass themselves compared to the USA Survivor

Why do you say that? It would be a good thing if you qualify your statements with more information.

So who's the new Jeff Probst? My money's on Paolo Bediones.

I'd be very surprised if it's not. Supposedly, ABS-CBN is offering counter-programming to this show with The Amazing Race: Philippines and Pinoy Fear Factor.

Hooboy! Not more of these reality shows turned local. Had enough of PBB as it is.

hmmm, I wonder if both "Survivor: Gabon" and "Survivor: Philippines" will premiere at the same day...well, the only thing I know is both are set to premiere on September...

I am also wondering, are the Filipinos really ready for the kind of backstabbing and blindsiding, the lies and deceits, the reality-show brings?

Pinoy Big Brother pa nga lang eh! And it's as if these aren't the constant topics of showbiz talk shows here.

indie boi · « **Reply #12 on:** Aug 21, 2008 at 05:07 PM »

Agree, hehe. The daily political news alone is enough to condition pinoys to all of the "backstabbing and blindsiding".

Pinoy Big Brother? Are you sure? I think it's a poodle compared to the pitbull, meaning Survivor...

That may be. But as indie boi said, Filipinos have been conditioned by the media to tolerating these kinds of abrasive behavior. Pinoy Big Brother upped the ante a few years back, and the local reception was positive (sans complaints about bitchy contestants, dumb jocks, favoritism, stupid challenges, etc.). Survivor Philippines will raise the bar even higher, but I'm sure Filipinos will find nothing shocking about it.

hehehe...well, if they don't want b**chy contestants in Pinoy Big Brother, then, we need them in Survior Philippines...

True. A show becomes truly watchable if there's a villain everybody wants to hate.

geckoph · « **Reply #17 on:** Aug 22, 2008 at 07:55 PM »

Yup, not only villains...I hope that there will be contestants along the lines of Rupert or Yau-Man...good guys but entertaining in camp and during confessionals...I hope that there won't be any Amber in Survivor Philippines, I mean, in terms of gameplay...

geckoph · « **Reply #18 on:** Sep 03, 2008 at 01:11 PM »

Air date starts September 15...

Just saw the big banners and posters at GMA when I passed by the building this morning. At first, I thought I was looking at the poster for a new telenovela, the contestants were that goodlooking. This is a big disappointment. Reality shows like Survivor thrive on personality and not on looks. This is going to be another audition series for GMA just like PBB is to ABS-CBN. It makes me want to puke just thinking about it...

allanmandy · « **Reply #20 on:** Sep 11, 2008 at 04:54 PM »

GMA also gave irritating nicknames to the 18 survivors. Like "Bisayang Palaban", "The Hunk", "Ang Labandera", "Smart Babe", "Ang Yaya", "The Lone Rider" and "Loverboy". Can't we have a local franchise of an international reality show without the name giving, PLEASE!

Here's the list of survivors:

Kristina "Kaye" Alipio, 20, lingerie model
Leona Rica "Nikki" Dacullo, 21, call center agent
Jervy "Patani" Daño, 20, babysitter
Veronica "Vern" Domingo, 29, taekwondo coach
Vevherly Gador, 20, student
Chevyline "Chev" Macias, 26 years old, former GRO
Zita Ortiga, 47, laundrywoman
Maria Nona "Niña" Ortiz, 40, architect/wellness coach
Anna Charisse Yacapin, 26, product officer

Marlon Carmen, 30, waiter
Crisanto "Cris" Cartagenas, 30, company/taxi driver
Emerson Dino, 31, technician
Reynaldo "Jace" Chanco Flores, Jr., 19, gym instructor
John Anthony Lopez, 27, auto mechanic/model
Raymund Francis "Kiko" Rustia, 27, businessman
Cesar "Gigit" Sulit, 49, web designer/mountaineer
Robert Vincent "Rob" Sy, 30, sales officer
John Carlo "JC" Tiuseco, 23, basketball player

Here's a link to the contestants' profiles: link

I also wonder why they have to shoot in Thailand when there are so many inhospitable islands here in the Philippines as well. Why not promote our own country?

geckoph · « **Reply #21 on:** Sep 11, 2008 at 07:25 PM »

I guess, the likes of Rudy or Yau Man (the age factor) won't make it in Survivor: Philippines...

saw in an interview that Survivor has a rule that you cannot shoot in your own country, which was why they had to shoot it in Thailand

geckoph · « **Reply #23 on:** Sep 11, 2008 at 07:38 PM »

Not only are the seniors not represented...

there is also the physique factor...wow, I guess I won't be qualified even if I tried...except for Marlon Carmen the waiter...all of the castaways has the physique...

I totally laughed at Paolo Bediones' writeup.

Paolo Bediones is the obvious choice to host Survivor Philippines, having hosted the popular reality show Extra Challenge also on GMA-7. But Paolo says people will see a very different Paolo on Survivor Philippines, one who seldom smiles and a very strict host.

A different Bediones who will seldom smile and will be a strict host? Survivor ba to o The Weakest Link?

Pre, paano kaya kung sa ABS napunta 'to? Gawin host kaya nila si Kris? Just think of the comedic potential?!?

Does anyone know what time this airs tomorrow?

I've tried clickthecity.com, GMA's official website, wikipedia, and even the official Survivor: Philippines site, and there's no time given for the show on any of these sites!

Sloppy website development, mga "kapuso."
