Episode 32: Tama na yan, Inuman na!

At Chalam, a croc would try to break down our little happy family of snakes to stay longer in the island. Would his tactic work as precisely as how a croc ambushes it's prey, or would the snake live up to it's reputation... Would the snake bite his own kind or slither silently towards the croc for the kill! THE loyal snake comes rushing towards his brood. JC, seizes the moment while Marlon washes his hands after having cut by a bamboo. JC, still trying to catch his breath, warns Cris, Kiko and Rob that Marlon would eventually talk to Cris. He admits that he was being lured by Jace but he affirms his loyalty for Naak. Cris says "Hindi pa tayo inaabot ng gabi, ginagapang na tayo..." as to which Kiks replies, "Paano desperado na sila..." Kiko, like a chieftain, declares that he has complete faith with his people, with his Naak tribe. From the start, he has assured his bros to keep them as long as he can in the competition. Some conversations between JC and Kiko went like: JC on Jace "Inubos mo ang mga katribo mo, tapos ako ang ititira mo...?" JC admits that he is just playing along with Jace. The young croc, Jace, seems oblivious that he is inside a snake pit. He convinces Marlon that JC is on their side and adamant to the rest of the ex-Jarakays that Kiko should be the next to be voted out, then Rob, Cris, and Zita. Jace to Marlon "Akala nila marami sila... Trust me pare, we're gonna last." Marlon wouldn't want to burst Jace's bubble but he knows that the young stud is way out of his league. Marlon's personal quest is to befriend the former Naaks and change their initial impression on him. Quenching the Thirst Another hefty lunch, and a better night cap for the Chalam tribe. Then came the beer, red wine (or margarita) and punch. The males except for JC were ecstatic. JC says that he really isn't a drinker, while Vern also declares the same. Maybe it's in their athletic genes. But for Cris, it's time for some release. With tears, he declares that "kahit anong mangyari sa atin, paglabas, friends pa rin tayo..." He recalls tearing up when he celebrated his birthday without his family, and it was the first time he had a lechon for the ocassion. As to which Marlon concurs, "We're just playing a game pare!" As the alcohol kicks in Marlon, becomes, extra talkative (demure pa pala sya pag sober sya ng lagay na yon) and jolly and extra reddish and crispy... (oops, lechon pa rin nasa isip ko, pulutan sana). Tonight. The first individual immunity challenge. Who would be on top of the tribe. (Mukhang na-stuck si Cris sa bandang harap... lol) Mga Katribo, let's have a toast! Mabuhay ang Chalam! Mabuhay ang dotcomers!
