Pool Results
Episode 2

Welcome to the Survivor: Caramoan pool! Like the show this season, we have some returning favorites and new fans playing. Will returning champs, Florimel’s Droppa Mapantz, win the season again or will they end up in last place with the Wooden Spoon award?

Before we get to the first results, here are some interesting pool statistics. We have 15 tribes in the pool this season, the same number of tribes we had in the Survivor: Phillipines pool. Malcolm was by far the most popular pick for tribe leader, with 6 of the 15 tribes choosing him. The second favorite tribe leader was Cochran. The most popular non-leader tribe members were Brenda, Dawn, Cochran, and Malcolm. The most popular ceremonial tribe members were Erik and Phillip. The least popular castaways, not chosen by any tribes, were Brandon and Laura.

Scoring Events
Every castaway still in the game got 10 points.
The Favorites (Bikal) won both immunity (+5) and reward (+5).
Allie was voted out (-10).

Fifteen tribes are in Caramoa to compete for dominance over the other tribes. Team Maybs’ band of gorillas takes an early lead, establishing themselves at the head of the pack and beating their chests aggressively! Close behind them, Caramoaning’s zebras gallop into second place, tossing their manes and gnashing their teeth. Neck and neck with them, are Mike Hawk’s Protection Plan’s osprey, soaring up high to get a good vantage point, and Ulong’s flying fox, stretching their wings to ride the current. Five tribes share third place. Brenda’s Benchwarmers are a charging herd of elephants, plowing down the beach, trumpeting fiercely. Burning Love’s frilled lizard skitters across the sand, displaying its colorful frill to intimidate the other tribes. Pating’s great white shark looms in the surf, gnashing their teeth for another chance at victory! The Fighting Feline’s majestic lion roars menancingly as it lopes down the beach. Matching their pace are the Tigreng Warriors’ tigers, baring their teeth and growling to get slower tribes out of their way. Three tribes are in fourth place. Caramoan Schmaramoan’s tarsier scampers up a tree and leaps from limb to limb to keep up with the pack. Curare Bowhunters’ poison dart frog catches a ride on their back, saving their poison for a direct confrontation with an enemy. JLuv’s Jokers hyenas chortle maniacally as they scamper down the beach. In fifth place, Droppa Mapantz’s hippo lumbers along, slowed down by its heft. It may not be as fast as the other tribes but perhaps its might and endurance will bring it to the lead in the end. Alongside them are Retired Racers’ saluki, streaking through the sand in spurts, then pausing to catch their breath. In last place is The Natural Blues’ blue whale, trilling in the deep blue water for all the tribes to hear. Their sheer size and determination will make them a threat once they get a chance to take off!

Team Maybs got the highest weekly score! As a reward, they win fishing gear, including a mask, snorkel, fins, a net, a Hawaiian sling, and a kit with lures and line.

The competition has only just begun and it's too early to give up yet so it you're in an early lead, don't get too cocky, and if you're behind, don't get discouraged! As time goes on, the tribes should separate more instead of all being clustered together. Tune in next week to see how your tribe is doing.

Droppa has faith in his river horse (hippopotamus in Greek). This pool is such fun. Thanks again, Pikachu.

[norm]

Can I change my tribe name to "Stealth R Us, Inc."? I've got "the Specialist", "the Enforcer" and the "Dominatrix" and the "Eliminator" on my tribe. Now I wish I had selected "the Intelligence Attache" and "True Grit" as well.

Don't know how the Flying Foxes are going to defeat a gorilla though.

[Midol]

Oh my...I'm tied for third place with four other teams who have elephants, lions, tigers and a shark for mascots...I fear for my poor frilled lizard!!!

[Evande]

Don't know how the Flying Foxes are going to defeat a gorilla though.

It may require a mission of self sacrifice. A flying fox, the most intrepid, may have to propel itself down the throat of the raging gorilla. Good luck to you and all the other players in the pool, including Team Maybs.
