Survivor Philippines: Men vs. Women, First Impressions

Here are some of the reasons why I watch Survivor Philippines
1. My Friend Diwa wrote the opening song.
2. I am and will always be addicted to Survivor and other reality shows
3. I want to see a regular pinoy citizen rise to stardom through the show
4. I like the politics behind the team decisions
5. Survivor shows have always been there to show people how Social Experiments should be done

My Impressions so Far

The first thing they did was to divide the teams into two. I was excited at the politics behind the split, if it’s random or not. But as it is, it’s men vs. women. Now, we learn that there is a  split, and the men and women will be mixed together.

What was the purpose of the initial single gender groups? I’m guessing it’s so that each team can see the true colors of their counterparts and their quirks without the members of the other gender in attendance.

It’s funny when they did this in Survivor Vanuatu. Men vs. Women then a man won. He conveyed a powerful message at the end of the show. He claimed that his gameplan vs. six women who were formerly in alliance was to stand aside and let them go at each other. He became a confidante and made himself useful to the team of women, and ultimately won.

I wonder how the initial split will affect Survivor Philippines
