If you are a fan of Survivor like I am, then you surely wouldn't want to miss the 27th season of this hit reality TV series. It features returning castaways and their family members competing against each other. Like the previous two seasons, Survivor: Blood vs Water was filmed here in the Philippines from May 2013 to June 2013, only this time at Palaui Island Cagayan.

Tribe names are in Tagalog: "Galang" and "Tadhana", which mean "Respect" and "Destiny" respectively. Here are the tribe's buffs neatly colored in yellow and red.

Survivor: Philippines castaway Roberta "RC" Saint-Amour and her father, Craig, were originally cast and traveled to the Philippines with the other participants, but were pulled out a day before filming began due to Craig having high blood pressure. They were replaced by Candice Cody (from Survivor: Cook Islands and Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains) and her husband, John.

Being Filipino, I am definitely honored that the producers chose the Philippines (for the third time in a row) as the location for this top rated TV series. S25 Survivor Philippines and S26 Survivor Caramoan were both filmed at Caramoan, Camarines Sur from March 18, 2012 to April 25, 2012 and  May 21, 2012 to June 28, 2012 respectively.

For Sky Cable subscribers, Survivor: Blood vs Water airs at Jack TV Thursdays 0200P Via Satellite with a primetime telecast at 0900P. You can also catch replays during Sunday, from 1200N to 0200PM. The first hour is a replay of the previous week's episode while the second hour is a replay of the current episode.
