Night 8
The Amihan tribe returns to camp after voting out Jorge. Tommy chastises Elle for voting out Jorge, ostensibly giving Beatrix's alliance an opportnity to recover. Elle explains that Jorge became too much of a threat than he should be, as he was the swing vote. Tommy then castigates her, pushing Jorge out of the alliance by alienating him. "amihan"

- Elle is not really the brightest of bulbs here on this tribe. She thinks she is the stuff, but what she did with Jorge will soon blow to her face.

On the sidelines, Beatrix is relishing the moment, satisfied by Elle's fall from grace. Beatrix tells her alliance about Lana and Cataleya from the other tribe, who were offering their allegiance to them. Budd, who was with Beatrix during the feast, warns her about the idea of letting the two Habagat girls join them, as they could be fooling them. "amihan"

- During the feast reward, Lana and Cataleya offered themselves to join our side. But what scares me is that, I don't know either of them, but Beatrix does. I tried not to leak too much information about our tribe. I don't know if Bea made deals with them, but now, more than ever, I have to keep an eye on Beatrix.

At Habagat, the tribe laughs at Wyatt, who loudly snores while he sleeps. Simon notices Kaito cuddling with Moira, who end up kissing each other. While the majority Habagat alliance consisted of everyone, minus Lana and Cataleya, Simon tells Cap that it might not hurt if they vote Moira out to remove a possibly dangerous couple.

Day 9
At Amihan, the tribe is in very high spirits, with Tommy introducing his luxury item, his puppet parrot named "Lloyd", and their puppet show left the tribe in stitches. "amihan"

- It's been a torturous experience being out here, but at least I have kept my sanity, which is an accomplishment. *laughs* Some months before Survivor, my girlfriend broke up with me the day when I proposed marriage. She told me I wasn't her marrying type. It was a cold slap in the face. That's why I decided to apply for Survivor to find who I am and what I am made of. This is the beauty of this game: you realize don't know what you really have, and you just discover surprising new things about yourself. I try not to show that fear of rejection to anyone, that's why I scolded Elle last night because what she did to Jorge would lessen my chances of winning now that the two alliances are now even, 4-4. Getting voted out means rejection for me.

The tribes are informed of their next Reward Challenge via Tree Mail. Similar to their previous one, this Reward Challenge is to be done at camp, because it is the quintessential distress signal challenge. The tribes are given 24 hours to conceptualize and build their signals. A plane would fly over them, judging the signals based on their visibility, creativity and most of all, effectivity. Tree Mail also reveals their reward: A crate full of survival items such as knives, cookware, canned goods (corned beef, beans and sardines), spices, fishing gear, some wine, a jar of coffee and sugar, blankets, a tarp and mosquito nets. With the Habagat tribe having one extra member, they have to choose one tribe member who will not have direct or indirect input in Habagat's signal. With no hesitation, Cap chooses Cataleya, much to her annoyance. The participating Habagat members throw in their individual ideas. Lana on the other hand, feels her opinion is not being considered and doesn't matter to them, and furiously walks away. Frustrated by the drama Lana caused, the tribe goes through the whole morning with no definite plans for their signal. Cap notices another problem at camp: Wyatt has been resting the whole day in the shelter while everbody's doing their part at the challenge. At Amihan, Elle and Beatrix plan on a creative phrase that could catch the pilot's attention. Lawrence and Rosita propose that their signal should be on a clear, long part of their beach. Elle and Beatrix come up with a comical acronym for "SOS": Send our S***! The tribe unanimously agrees because of its comedic effect. "amihan"

- If a cursed word can't call a man's attention, I don't know what will!
