Patani Daño’s stint on Survivor is over

Tuesday, October 7, 2008

Probably the most popular castaway, nanny Patani Daño became the fourth castaway to be cast out of Survivor Philippines.

A few moments after mountaineer Gigit Sulit was unanimously sent home by his tribemates in the Jarakay Tribe, host Paolo Bediones surprised the tribe by announcing that another one of their members will be voted out.

In a surprise turn of events, the Jarakay tribe had to vote out one of their own again without discussing and strategizing how they will cast their votes. Paolo prevented the remaining members of the Jarakay from talking to each other prior to their votes.

In the end, Patani's three votes against her was enough to sent her packing; call center agent Nikki Dacullo and architect Niña Ortiz both got two votes while auto mechanic-model John Lopez got one vote.

The 20-year-old native of Talisay, Cebu took everything lightly and even managed to smile after Paolo announced her elimination from the game.

In her exit interview, Patani said, "Sayang hindi ako nagtagal do'n. Pero okay lang kasi, unang-una talaga, mapasali lang dito sa Survivor, e, malaking karangalan na talaga para sa akin. Kasi nasa Cebu ako, ‘tapos kung hindi ako napasama dito, hindi ako makakabalik ng Maynila. Kasi wala akong pamasahe, di ba? ‘Tapos hindi ako magkakaroon ng passport, ‘tapos hindi ako makakapunta dito sa Thailand.

But most importantly, Patani added, "'tapos nagkaroon ako ng ‘exfosyur.'"

Patani is very vocal about her desire to enter the world of showbiz. In fact, the main reason she decided to audition in Survivor Philippines was to get a free ticket into showbiz.

Patani auditioned in StarStruck several times but she never made the cut. Through Survivor Philippines, she got the "exposure" she always wanted.

With Patani's exit, the Jarakay tribe and the Naak tribe are now even with seven members each.
