Survivor 25,Philippines ousted Zane Knight in episode 1 last night. Last night,the big premiere of Survivor 25: Philippines debuted,and kicked off by introducing past three Survivor contestants Russell Swan,Jonathan Penner,and Michael Skupin. They previously got ousted due to incurring an injury or health problems in the game.

Next, they did their first rewards comp that involved some wild rafting action. Jeff Kent ended up hurting himself,but didn’t want to say anything about it. After the break, they showed commentary footage. The three tribes Tandag,Matsing,and Kalabaw set up their camps.

Abi,Roberta,Pete,and Michael decided to start a secret 4-man alliance. A lot of the younger people didn’t recognize Lisa Whelchel from the old 80′s “Facts Of Life” TV show,and she decided not to say anything about it. At one point, Roberta got very suspicious of Lisa,and didn’t trust her.

Zane got along well with the girls Denise,Roxy,and that super hot chick Angie. He bonded with them immediately. He also tried to make nice with Russell and Malcolm. However, Malcolm didn’t really buy his whole act. Malcolm also formed a bond with Denise.

Jonathan started immediately searching for the immunity idol and he found a clue. Then Russell found a clue for the hidden immunity idol in a bag of rice. Zane got real suspicious of Russell when he saw him reading the clue from a distance.

After a break, they showed the first immunity challenge. It consisted of an obstacle combined with a puzzle. The first two tribes to finish,won immunity and rewards. The third tribe to finish, had to go to tribal counsel to vote someone out. Russell Swan and the Matsing tribe finished last,so they had to vote somebody out. Russell caught a lot of the blame for dictating which members should do which task in the challenge,and he knew it.

Afterwards,Zane started volunteering himself to get sent home as a mental tactic. It appeared to work as the rest of the tribemembers wanted Zane to stay,and to blindside Russell for being so controlling. Next, they showed tribal counsel footage,and talked game for a bit. Russell admitted his mistake of being to controlling during the competition. Then everyone casts their votes. Zane got 4 votes,and Russell got 1 vote.

So, with a vote of 4-1,Zane got ousted. It looks like Russell’s little speech helped bail him out of trouble at the last minute,causing Zane’s manipulative mind game plan to backfire. Stay tuned. Follow us on Facebook by Clicking Here. Follow us on Twitter by Clicking Here.
