Former GRO voted out of 'Survivor Philippines'

A second-hand clothes dealer who was once married to a Thai national became the first "castoff" of "Survivor Philippines."

"I hate you all," was all Chevyline "Chev" Macias could say to the other members of her tribe who decided to kick her out of the game on Friday evening.

Life has been always hard for Chev who had to fight for herself, especially during her "dark days" as a guest relations officer and during the time she got hooked to drugs.

Now her dream of becoming the first Pinoy Sole Survivor is gone.

Chev lived in Thailand for six years until she got separated from her husband. After losing a custody battle over her child, Chev put up a second-hand clothes business to make a living until she joined the "Survivor Philippines," which is aired over GMA 7.

The show survived its first four days by consistently generating a rating of 30-plus percent.

Since its debut last Monday, September 15, the reality show hosted by Paolo Bediones maintained its high ratings despite its late time slot.

It ranked fourth Monday to Wednesday before slipping to fifth place Thursday when primetime newscast "24 Oras" zoomed to No. 3.
