Brazilian-Japanese model Akihiro Sato named winner of Survivor Philippines Celebrity Showdown

    Brazilian-Japanese hunk Akihiro Sato was voted winner of Survivor Philippines during the live season finale held earlier tonight at GMA studio.

    Akihiro Sato 1st Celebrity Sole Survivor

    Akihiro Sato, who's turning 27 this December 9, won P3-million cash prize (tax-free) and becomes the first ever Celebrity Sole Survivor as well as the first non-Filipino winner of Survivor Philippines.

    He got 3 votes from the Jury, good enough to defeat Solenn Heussaff and Ervic Vijandre, who each had 2 votes.

    The finale episode actually began with the announcement of the 7th Jury member.

    Here's how the 6 Jury members and the Final 4 voted: (the name on the
    right was the one they voted off)

    Jon - Solenn
    Aira - Ervic
    Michelle - Ervic
    Ahron- Aubrey
    Elma - Aubrey
    Moi - Solenn
    Akihiro - Aubrey
    Aubrey - Akihiro
    Ervic - Akihiro
    Solenn - Akihiro

    It was actually the results of the voting during their last tribal
    council at the island. As you can see, it resulted to a tie between Akihiro and Aubrey, both getting 3 vote-off points.

    Thus, all (except for Aubrey and Aki of course) had to vote again between Aubrey and Aki as to who should join the Jury. Solenn, Ervic and Moi voted against Akihiro and the rest voted off Aubrey, making
    her as the 7th member of the Jury and leaving Aki, Ervic and Solenn to become the Final 3.

    Aubrey was given time by host Richard Gutierrez to say her final words and without showing any bitterness, she gracefully said, "I know I'm really deserving to win but I know that it's not meant for me. Pero gusto ko lang sabihin sa lahat na...we're not here to compete about who we are but we are here to compete about how we played the game."

    While she was talking, Aubrey's partner Troy Montero along with her 2 sons were shown in the audience. Her son, the older one, was already crying while Troy looked kinda disappointed with the results.

    And then the Jury, now including Aubrey, had to make the hardest decision by voting who should become the 1st Celebrity Sole Survivor.

    It was one close fight with Aki getting 3 votes, while Solenn and Ervic each with 2 votes.

    Akihiro cried after his name was announced as winner and then a woman from the audience, probably his live-in partner, rushed to the stage to hug him.

    Did the best or the most deserving celebrity castaway win? Or did they
    pick the wrong winner?

    For me, Akihiro was the right choice 'coz he was able to master not only the physical challenges, but also the social aspects of the game. He has proven that it always pays to be nice.
