.
Richard Gutierrez
reprised his hosting stint for the second time after Survivor Philippines: Celebrity Showdown
. Unlike the previous season and any other celebrity seasons in the entire Survivor franchise, this installment would feature celebrities grouped as couples with preexisting relationships. Teasers of castaways' identities were partially revealed in the third week of October 2011. A week after the teasers were revealed, the identities of the celebrity castaways were then fully identified.
The show was entirely shot in San Vicente
, Palawan
, the first time the Philippine franchise has filmed in their home country. The show premiered on GMA Network
on November 14, 2011.
Tribe names were Bulan ("moon" in Visayan and Ilocano, as well as in Malay
and Bahasa Indonesia
) and Tala (archaic Tagalog
term for "star"), termed in-show to be names of goddesses of the moon and stars respectively. Though the game is a doubles format, it was revealed in the first episode that only one will remain as the Celebrity Survivor who will win P3,000,000.
Aside from the couples concept, this season introduced the Temptation Reward. The winning tribe in a Reward Challenge would choose two of their own to be the only ones partaking in the Temptation Reward. After being shown the Temptation Reward, the two tribe members were then also presented with the consequence they must undergo should they accept the Temptation Reward. The pair could also choose to decline the Temptation Reward if they think the consequence would be too harmful for their life in the game.
: Geneva Cruz and KC Montero initially started as partners. But due to reasons that Geneva could not play the game due to its ethics, she decided to quit. However, the producers of the show gave KC the chance to stay in the game as a solo contestant.
: Maribel and Mara accepted Temptation Reward resulting of the two being split up by the two tribes. Mara stayed in Bulan, while Maribel switched to Tala.
Two pairs who first completed the challenge won immunity. Note that the first Reward Challenge occurred before the castaways were grouped into tribes.
Geneva decided to quit Survivor; however, the producers gave KC a chance to play the game as a single contestant.
Day 1: After undergoing a mud ritual, the castaways were initially on a water cage, of which was meters away from the shore. Host Richard Guttierez arrived via seaplane
and introduced them to the game and to their first pair challenge. In the pair reward challenge, many of the castaways prioritized looking for the necklaces rather than gathering supplies. The Philippine Volcanoes pair of Arnold & John and former love team Isabel & Chuckie were first to retrieve the necklaces. The castaways then inspected the supplies they gathered during the challenge. Through a schoolyard pick, the two tribes were formed. The Volcanoes duo, the first two members of Bulan, were joined by dating partners Gino & Stef, ex-couple KC & Geneva, mother and daughter Maribel & Mara, and friends Alyssa & Aifha. On the other hand, Isabel & Chuckie's tribe Tala had cousins Carlo & Arthur, couple Ellen & Filo, friends Jackie & Angelicopter, and comedic duo Betong & Maey as its members. The tribes were then directed to their camps, where they started to gather food and build shelter. At Bulan, as the rest of the tribe worked, Gino saw the Volcanoes making alliances with KC. KC was also able to make fire using only bamboo, something the entire Tala tribe were not able to achieve after several tries. Although early, tribal life had already started to take its emotional toll on Geneva and Aifha, with Geneva already airing her intention to quit. In the evening, a remark by Aifha caused an argument between her and Alyssa.
Day 2: As tribal life went on in Bulan, Geneva was still stressed and was crying. After KC answered to the offscreen producer that he wanted to continue the game alone, she decided to quit after having an argument with KC and with the resident psychologist about the ethics of the game. However, the producers decided to give KC the chance to stay as he really wanted to play the game. Difficulties faced by Bulan en route to the challenge area due to the weather and emerging swells forced the producers to postpone the Reward/Immunity Challenge to the next day.
Day 3: In the Reward/Immunity Challenge, Bulan initially led up to the puzzle part, where Tala caught up. Maribel already had the answer to the puzzle, Tagumpay ng isa ay tagumpay ng lahat ("The success of one is the success of all"), while her tribe's puzzle was still unfinished. This enabled Tala to overtake Bulan and complete their puzzle, winning the challenge. After Bulan left, Tala was told of the Temptation Reward. After much deliberation, the tribe chose Angelicopter and Jackie, who stayed behind to see the temptation reward. After weighing their options and their tribe's welfare, the two decided not to accept the temptation reward and returned to camp, where they discussed about the temptation reward and why they did not accept it. At Bulan, upon noticing a large beehive
near camp and the size of the bees that inhabited it, the tribe decided to move their camp to a safer location. At Tala, after several tries using their flint, the tribe finally had a small flame which petered out moments later, forcing the tribe to spend their third straight night without fire. Back at Bulan, after the tribe had a brief mock fire dance to amuse themselves, Maribel apologized to her tribemates about what happened during the Reward/Immunity Challenge. She also expressed wanting to come back to her comfort zone, being the oldest in the tribe.
Day 4: At Tala, after several failed attempts by her tribemates, Jackie finally made a large sustainable flame for her tribe. At Bulan, Maribel and Mara were already presumed that they were already next due to Maribel's desires and her just playing the game just for her daughter. Maribel even wanted to tell her tribe to vote her out. Later while everybody frolicked at the beach, Arnold lost his immunity bracelet in wave, making him concerned on his life in the game. But he was assured by his alliance, particularly KC, that the loss of the bracelet was already minor compared to the strength of the alliance itself. At Tribal Council, Richard the host regarded the game as one not for the weak and Geneva's resignation from the game as a "waste" of a spot for the show. Talk then turned to the strengths and weaknesses of the tribe. Aifha regarded Volcanoes duo were the strongest, while one of the duo, John touted KC as even stronger because of his knowledge of the game. On the other hand, John also stated that Alyssa was the weakest for contemplating about quitting the game. It was then announced that, instead of a single person, a pair would be voted out instead. In the end, rather than follow Maribel's wish, the Volcanoes, KC, Gino, and Stef decided to keep Maribal and Mara and instead send Alyssa and Aifha home, 7–2.
Day 5: The two tribes faced off in a heated Reward Challenge where, along with the removal of goalkeepers and one pair per tribe, Tala scored the first two points, but several members of Bulan decided to paddle with their hands. Eventually Bulan tied with Tala, then stole another goal for the win, 3-2. Bulan chose Mara and her mother Maribel to stay for the Temptation Reward. After much mother-daughter talk and taking in the pros and cons, especially on Maribel's and the Bulan tribe's welfare and the possibility of a tribal shuffle, Mara and Maribel accepted the bracelets with the latter deciding to be part of Tala, wanting to weaken it further. Naturally, Bulan was suprised to see Mara alone upon return to camp. Mara then divulged to Gino her mother's transfer to Tala, which she eventually told to the rest of the tribe except Stef. Meanwhile at Tala, the tribe was also shocked and horrified to see Maribel becoming one of their own, with Maribel acting like she was forced to switch tribes, to the point that several members, notably Jackie, Angelicopter, and Ellen, were already intimidated by her. Maribel made further fabrications about a tribal shuffle, making Isabel and Chuckie think about giving up their immunity bracelets to whoever would be transferred to Bulan. Late that night, Chuckie and Ellen talked about stealing Maribel's immunity bracelet, not immediately believing Maribel's story of how she produced hers.
Day 6: At Tala, the women took advantage of Maribel's absence to look for her immunity bracelet among her belongings while she was talking to Carlo. They were not successful, not knowing she had already hid the bracelet in her underwear even before she arrived at camp. They two tribes met again in the Immunity Challenge, where, despite some roughhousing from both tribes, Bulan swept Tala 3–0. As Bulan celebrated, Jackie noted Maribel gesturing and talking to Mara in Japanese, a language both mother and daughter understood. To Jackie, it was a sign that Maribel already wanted out the game. After a brief stay at camp, Tala proceeded to Tribal Council, where talk initially focused on the roughhousing that went on in the Immunity Challenge, particularly the shouting match that ensued between the Volcanoes duo and several Tala members after Arnold rolled the ball over Carlo. The discussion then turned to the most averse reception Maribel had upon her arrival to Tala. Finally, Richard revealed that in the relatively short history of the Philippine Survivor franchise, Tala was already regarded as the whiniest tribe due to complains its members had, most importantly on personal safety, to which Richard reminded that anyone who competes in Survivor must endure the rawest nature could offer; those who could not stand the elements and fierceness of the game must quit if they so desire. Just as the tribe was about to vote, Angelicopter and Jackie expressed their decision to leave the game as to them, the current dynamic was already going against their morals, particularly Jackie's. So the host pulled the pair's nametags from their torches and tossed them into the fire, signifying the pair's exit. Soon after Tribal Council ended, Filo and Ellen also decided to quit as well, citing their safety and the game's intensity. Meanwhile, the Tala tribe was instructed to head to the production area instead of heading to camp due to inclement weather to be brought by Typhoon Pedring
; Bulan already evacuated to the production area while Tala was heading to Tribal Council.
Day 7: As the rains from Typhoon Pedring poured and the tribes amused themselves to pass the time, Stef was treated for the sunburns she obtained the day before, while Chuckie, Isabel, Betong, and Maey plotted on how to use Chuckie and Isabel's immunity bracelets and/or to steal Maribel's. Later, the tribes were visited by Ruffa Gutierrez
and mother Annabelle Rama, who brought to the tribes materials and instructions for the upcoming Reward Challenge. After much practice, the two tribes faced off in the Reward Challenge, to be overseen by Ruffa and Annabelle as well as a small audience of local children. Although Tala had more members with acting experience, both tribes gave performances that amused Ruffa, Annabelle, and the children. As a result, there was no consensus on which tribe won; instead, Bulan was declared the winner by points, 83.5%–66%. After Tala left, Bulan chose the Volcanoes duo to take a peek at the Temptation Reward, which the pair decidedly refused.
Day 8: Bulan enjoyed their newfound breakfast reward, while Tala returned to their daily routine, seeing that their camp had withstood the bad weather. Isabel and Maey discussed that they would continue to target Maribel unless they see her immunity bracelet. At Bulan, although camp was also spared, the tribe again relocated it to somewhere drier. The tribes then competed in the Immunity Challenge, the first endurance challenge of the season. Maey accidentally dropped part of her new load, leaving Chuckie to battle against the Volcanoes duo alone. Unable to bear a total of 12 kilos on his hands any longer, Chuckie eventually gave Tala its fourth consecutive loss.
* Indicates a Tribal Council wherein castaways voted against a pair as opposed to a single person (unless a castaway being voted off was playing solo).
: Geneva declared herself to have quit the game on Day 2. Therefore, no vote occurred for her removal from the game. Meanwhile, KC was given a chance by the production team to stay in the game as a solo contestant.
: While in Tribal Council, Jackie and Angelicopter decided to quit the game altogether just as the tribe was about to vote. After Tribal Council ended, Ellen and Filo also decided to quit the game. Therefore, no votes occurred for their removal from the game.

Two pairs who first completed the challenge won immunity. Note that the first Reward Challenge occurred before the castaways were grouped into tribes.
Geneva decided to quit Survivor; however, the producers gave KC a chance to play the game as a single contestant.
Cycle 1: Days 1-4
- Pair Reward Challenge: Castaways must free themselves from a water cage, and swim to the shore. Along the way are mystery sacks that may contain items that are useful in anyway during their stay in the island which they could retrieve at their discretion. Upon reaching the shore, the castaways must first bind themselves with their respective partners. After that, they must hit the containers hang onto a tree using a long bamboo stick. Inside two of those containers contain two immunity bracelets. When a pair finds the immunity bracelet, they must run to the flag to finish the game. The first two pairs who had the immunity bracelets wins the Reward Challenge.
- Reward: Immunity bracelet
- Tribal Reward/Immunity Challenge: Six climbers must climb all the A frames bringing with them three abaca ropes. Before the tribe would climb to the next A frame, all the members must be completed and should station themselves on the first designated mat. They would repeat this sequence until the tribe had reached the last mat. After the climbers had completed the A frame obstacle, they needed to carry a crate to a starting point (in a form of an another mat) for the next part of the challenge. When the tribe had reached the starting point, the tribe needs to tie the crate using the rope that they brought along with them. After that, they would put the crate in a long sliding platform, and pull it until they reached the other three members of the tribe who are going to solve the puzzle. When the crate reached the puzzle solvers, they needed to get the puzzle pieces, and solve it and read aloud the answer to the puzzle plus the word check. The first tribe to finish the challenge won the reward and immunity.

and introduced them to the game and to their first pair challenge. In the pair reward challenge, many of the castaways prioritized looking for the necklaces rather than gathering supplies. The Philippine Volcanoes pair of Arnold & John and former love team Isabel & Chuckie were first to retrieve the necklaces. The castaways then inspected the supplies they gathered during the challenge. Through a schoolyard pick, the two tribes were formed. The Volcanoes duo, the first two members of Bulan, were joined by dating partners Gino & Stef, ex-couple KC & Geneva, mother and daughter Maribel & Mara, and friends Alyssa & Aifha. On the other hand, Isabel & Chuckie's tribe Tala had cousins Carlo & Arthur, couple Ellen & Filo, friends Jackie & Angelicopter, and comedic duo Betong & Maey as its members.

Cycle 2: Days 5-6
- Reward Challenge: One member would play as a goalkeeper floating on their own raft, while of the tribe would ride connected rafts. Using paddles with two holes, they would scoop a ball and either pass it to a teammate or fling it to the opposing tribe's goal. Participants should not use their hands to pick up or throw their ball; they could only use their hands to maneuver their rafts. A participant who falls off their raft would temporarily be out of the game until they lift themselves back to their raft. First tribe to score three points would win the reward.
- Reward: Fishing materials, snorkeling gear, condiments, and two large lapu-lapuGrouperGroupers are fish of any of a number of genera in the subfamily Epinephelinae of the family Serranidae, in the order Perciformes.Not all serranids are called groupers; the family also includes the sea basses.

. - Temptation Reward: Immunity bracelet for the member of each pair.
- Temptation Consequence: If accepted, one member must transfer to the opposing tribe. But this time, if one member would be voted out in a Tribal Council, it wouldn't affect their partner unless they still have their own immunity bracelet.
- Reward: Fishing materials, snorkeling gear, condiments, and two large lapu-lapu
- Immunity Challenge: In a series of matches, each team had to push a large ball across a mud field into their opponents' goal, while preventing their opponents from doing the same. One ball per tribe would be deployed in each match. Opponents could only hold each other on the waist and riding on the ball and pinning or hitting the opponent were not allowed. First tribe to score three points would win immunity.
Day 5: The two tribes faced off in a heated Reward Challenge where, along with the removal of goalkeepers and one pair per tribe, Tala scored the first two points, but several members of Bulan decided to paddle with their hands. Eventually Bulan tied with Tala, then stole another goal for the win, 3-2. Bulan chose Mara and her mother Maribel to stay for the Temptation Reward. After much mother-daughter talk and taking in the pros and cons, especially on Maribel's and the Bulan tribe's welfare and the possibility of a tribal shuffle, Mara and Maribel accepted the bracelets with the latter deciding to be part of Tala, wanting to weaken it further. Naturally, Bulan was suprised to see Mara alone upon return to camp. Mara then divulged to Gino her mother's transfer to Tala, which she eventually told to the rest of the tribe except Stef.

Meanwhile, the Tala tribe was instructed to head to the production area instead of heading to camp due to inclement weather to be brought by Typhoon Pedring

; Bulan already evacuated to the production area while Tala was heading to Tribal Council.
Cycle 3: Days 7-9
- Reward Challenge: Using materials provided to them, the tribe must devise a five-minute performance number to be presented in front of a panel of judges. The tribe that was adjudged to have the better performance would win the reward.
- Reward: A breakfast buffet and three egg-laying chickens.
- Temptation Reward: Hotdog sandwiches as their food and ₱Philippine pesoThe peso is the currency of the Philippines. It is subdivided into 100 centavos . Before 1967, the language used on the banknotes and coins was English and so "peso" was the name used...
100,000. - Temptation Consequence: The reward the tribe earned would be transferred to the other tribe.
- Immmunity Challenge: Standing on a platform, each contestant would hold onto a net filled with a kilogram of seafood on each hand at shoulder level. A belt marker would be worn at each contestant's waist; if either net would go lower than the marker, the contestant would be eliminated. Contestants who are eliminated would then have 10 seconds to choose a tribemate who would then take their load. Last person standing would win immunity for their tribe.
Day 7: As the rains from Typhoon Pedring poured and the tribes amused themselves to pass the time, Stef was treated for the sunburns she obtained the day before, while Chuckie, Isabel, Betong, and Maey plotted on how to use Chuckie and Isabel's immunity bracelets and/or to steal Maribel's. Later, the tribes were visited by Ruffa Gutierrez

and mother Annabelle Rama, who brought to the tribes materials and instructions for the upcoming Reward Challenge. After much practice, the two tribes faced off in the Reward Challenge, to be overseen by Ruffa and Annabelle as well as a small audience of local children. Although Tala had more members with acting experience, both tribes gave performances that amused Ruffa, Annabelle, and the children. As a result, there was no consensus on which tribe won; instead, Bulan was declared the winner by points, 83.5%–66%. After Tala left, Bulan chose the Volcanoes duo to take a peek at the Temptation Reward, which the pair decidedly refused.
Day 8: Bulan enjoyed their newfound breakfast reward, while Tala returned to their daily routine, seeing that their camp had withstood the bad weather. Isabel and Maey discussed that they would continue to target Maribel unless they see her immunity bracelet. At Bulan, although camp was also spared, the tribe again relocated it to somewhere drier. The tribes then competed in the Immunity Challenge, the first endurance challenge of the season. Maey accidentally dropped part of her new load, leaving Chuckie to battle against the Volcanoes duo alone. Unable to bear a total of 12 kilos on his hands any longer, Chuckie eventually gave Tala its fourth consecutive loss.
Voting history
Tribal Council (TC) numbers are almost the same as Cycle numbers as a Tribal Council occurs at the end of each cycle; eliminations that happen outside a Tribal Council do not bear a Tribal Council number, but count towards a cycle. Episode numbers denote the episode(s) when the voting and subsequent revelation of votes and elimination during a Tribal Council took place. They can also denote the episode wherein a contestant officially left the game for any reason.| Original Tribes | Day 5 Tribes | |||
