Episode 49: Marlon, Running Out of Tricks, or Would He Have the Last Laugh?

It was again another one of those episodes that would give you a headache especially if you are attempting to write a recap. So for now, here's a partial, unofficial and rough recap. And so, it's Marlon against the world or is the other way around? Our not-so-little Lonipot here is again causing some blood pressure to shoot up at Chalam, and most probably some of you folks watching.

What are his last-ditch-plans to stay longer or at least create havoc even if he gets voted out?

Last-Ditch Plan No.1 - Coerce Kaye into voting Nanay Zita off instead of him. Marlon says that nobody from the castaways seems to realize that Zita is the sure winner if she ends up in the top 2 - so, they must put her or any from the ex-Naak out of the way first.

Last-Ditch Plan No. 2 - Make Cris believe that he is the next guy to go, the next target of some of the other castaways. In fact, Marlon even declares that he is confident that he won't be voted out. Marlon even declares his resentment against Cris' "pagtatraydor" over a certain incident.

Last-Ditch Plan No. 3 - Throw the black pearl at some point. (Be it for the  disadvantage of Charisse or just to totally get rid of the curse, once and for all.

Last-Ditch Plan No. 4 - Steal or hide the flint - fire starter so that even if he gets voted out, he leaves chaos over the camp and still gets that last laugh.

Last-Ditch Plan No. 5 - Make his last "secret good deed" to be able to at least, redeem himself if he gets the boot.
(Okay guys, you may want to add more of Marlon's ingenius or, rather insane plans.

Meanwhile, Cris maintains that if ever he would be voted out, he would still be thankful. But his conversation with Marlon made him reach some conclusions...

"Maluwag na yata ang turnilyo sa ulo ni Marlon, kailangan nang i-change oil." "Parang nakikita ko sa'yo na hinding - hindi mo matatanggap na matatanggal ka na..."

Charisse on the other hand is again crying over the inevitable tribal council, and unsurprisingly finds Marlon for some shoulder to cry on to. The latter tries to console Charisse and the girl thanked him for everything he has done. But Charisse is also cautious for her black pearl.Indeed, Marlon has a lot of tricks left on his belly, err, bag. To end, let me quote him saying to Rob,  "It's for me to know, and for you to find out."
