Friday night, the Sonsorol tribe gears for a heart-stopping second tribal council.

For the first time in the history of Survivor’s franchise across the world, one castaway will break down in tears upon hearing the announcement of an unexpected twist that will shock all the remaining castaways.

It can be recalled that Amanda, Mika, Jef, Echo, and Justine formed an alliance to oust strong contender Marvin Kiefer.

The “girls’ alliance” have also agreed on their next courses of action as well as whom to oust in succession from the Sonsorol tribe.

But the twist to be announced in today’s Tribal Council will change the alliance’s plan and one castaway will lose the chance to win the P3-million jackpot.
