Survivor Philippines Celebrity Showdown: Jon Hall Voted Out, Good Riddance

Jon Hall is the first castaway to be voted out and the first jury member in Survivor Philippines Celebrity Showdown.

Jon Hall played hard and left with a whimper. That's what you get when you are so obvious in your game play. In the end, his immunity bracelet got wasted since he chose to play the knight in shining armor to his damsel in distress.

So with that move, Michelle Madrigal will be on my TV for another week, maybe. Job Hall is the perfect bootee - he's an immunity threat. But Jon is easier to watch on TV than Michelle.

I hate that Michelle cries at a drop of a hat, insinuating that they were being ganged up on - she and Jon against the entire tribe. Boohuuu... How easily she forgets strutting on Nagar like a pretty little princess to Jon Hall's king of the jungle when she was in the dominant alliance with Jon and that idiot Ian Batherson.

At any other time I would have rooted for Jon to win Survivor he's the close to the epitome of a winner - just tone down the strategizing a bit and lose Michelle and he's perfect. However, casting Michelle Madrigal screwed him from the very beginning. To put it bluntly, the Survivor producers screwed the game for him because they were clearly after drama not good game play and strategy.

Now, Michelle, if she is Survivor game savvy or perhaps has two brain cells left to rub together, can take advantage of her position as a swing vote in a tribe of nine to stay further in the game.

But knowing her strategy, or the lack of it, Michelle will just wait for luck to fall her way. Acting your way into making your tribemates into reconsidering voting you out does not a strategy make.

Now I have to suffer a one or two episodes showing Michelle lamenting her recently booted beau and how she really wants out of the game.

And now if one member of that tribe is smart enough to get away from that herd mentality, they will let Michelle stay and vote out Akiro Sato or Ervic Vijandre. It's time to weed out the strongest.

Aubrey Miles is not a First-time Mother, Yo!

Aubrey Miles appeared on SNN (Showbiz News Ngayon) to finally reveal that she has an eight year old son by ex-boyfriend, JP Obligacion, a grandson of veteran actor Oscar Obligacion. As you would expect in such disclosures, tears were aplenty as did words of remorse and guilt.

In Aubrey's Facebook account, she wrote that she will be dropping a bomb. As bombs went, it was just a rebentador for me. Duh! My favorite entertainment writer Cristy Fermin already showed proof of the child's existence, complete with a picture and reliable sources from the US hospital where Aubrey gave birth. Can you say, vindicated? I'm sure Cristy's level of self-righteousness and holier-than-thou attitude just went a notch higher with Aubrey's confessions.

Aubrey was forced to keep her son a secret because she was being build up as a sexy star and sexy stars are not supposed to be married or have a child. So, the viewing public is to be faulted for making her lie because we want our sexy actresses to project the illusion of being unattached, therefore, reachable.

Actually, I want to fault her for thinking that being an artista is the only way to make a decent living for her young son and family. Last time I looked, there are single parents who work in offices, hotels, government agencies, what have you. Ah, okay, these jobs are out of the question because they are not glamorous and low-paying. Hokay

I can forgive Aubrey for lying about having (gasp!) a child. What I can't forgive her for is her performance and shtick in the Amazing Race Asia 1. This twit and her partner, twat, forgot it was a damn RAAACE!!! and just mugged for the camera during the entire three minutes they were in it. They were clueless bordering on stupid. Way to reverse the dumb-model stereotypes, ladies.

As for Troy's reaction... does he even understand this? I mean, the interview was done mostly in Tagalog, and despite living in the Philippines for several years he still cannot speak Tagalog. Still wondering why he has no career to speak of, despite being pretty?

As for Boy Abunda who interviewed Aubrey, he asked "Anong pinagdadasal mo ngayon?" I'm sure he wanted Aubrey to utter more gut-wretching, heart-wretching confessions to milk that last drop of tears. I wanted Aubrey to say, "to resurrect my career after this confession because I now have two sons and Troy to take care of." I would have been a fan forever.
