18 castaways vie for first-ever Pinoy Sole Survivor

Wednesday, September 10, 2008

GMA-7 brings together 18 strangers from all over the country and puts them in one island for the ultimate challenges in "Survivor Philippines".

They will be tested for 39 days in a deserted island where they will be divided into two tribes.

Tribe Jarakay (which is the Thai word for crocodile) carries the blue color while Tribe Naak (which is the Thai word for snake) carries the red color.

Each castaway has to wear a buff, an elastic material with the logo and color of their tribe.

Armed only with one machete for each tribe, the two groups will build a shelter, scavenge for food and protect themselves from nature's elements while in the island.

They will receive a treemail each day that will give them riddles, clues or instructions about the challenges for the day.

Each challenge is designed to test the castaways' strength, endurance, problem solving skills and teamwork. One day, they would be made to stand for hours on a wobbling piece of wood, then they'd be tasked to solve a mind-boggling jigsaw puzzle the next.

Most of the time, they would have to rely on teamwork to win group challenges that would decide their tribe's fate.

Expect a mixture of action, drama, suspense, romance and comedy as each castaway does anything and everything to claim the P3 million peso grand prize and the distinct honor of being the first ever Pinoy Sole Survivor.
