Expeditie Robinson 2 (2001) - Belgium/Netherlands

First tribal council
Team Lima lost the immunity challenge.

Lobke = 4 (Martijn, Koenraad, Nathalie, Pieter)
Koenraad = 4 (Jasha, Gerrit, Lobke, Christine)

A draw was done to determine who had to leave and Lobke lost the draw. She got voted out because others couldn't "connect" with her: she spoke in dialect nobody could understand and was one of the weaker people.


Second tribal council
Team Simbang lost the immunity challenge. But before the challenge, Hilde had already quit the game because she was homesick and wanted to go back to her children. Nevertheless, someone had to be voted out:

Eric = 6 (Pascale, Richard, Melanie, Gwann, Jennifer, Jan)
Gwann = 1 (Eric)

Oldest and weakest member Eric got the boot. This greatly upset Jan, who spend hours crying (even though he voted him out).


Third tribal council
Team Lima lost this time.

Koenraad = 5 (Christine, Jasha, Gerrit, Pieter, Nathalie)
Jasha = 2 (Marijn, Koenraad)

Socially weak Koenraad had to leave.


Fourth tribal council
Now it was Simbang's turn to lose.

Gwann = 3 (Richard, Melanie, Jan)
Melanie = 2 (Gwann, Pascale)
Jan = 1 (Jennifer)

Richard joined Melanie & Jan to vote out the strongest member of the team. Richard started playing an individual game very early.


Fifth tribal council
Because Hilde left the game, the three previously eliminated candidates, Eric, Koenraad & Gwann, took part in an endurance challenge to determine who of the three returned in the game. Eric quit quite early, Gwann & Koenraad battled it out for a long time and at the end, it was Koenraad who won (as a child surgeon he is used to do long, exhausting and difficult things). He went to Simbang.

Without their strongest team member, Simbang didn't stand a chance in the challenge and lost again.

Jan = 3 (Pascale, Richard, Jennifer)
Pascale = 2 (Jan, Melanie)

Koenraad didn't take part in the voting (e.g. he couldn't vote or be voted against). The emotionally and physically weak Jan had to leave.


Sixth tribal council
Lima lost the immunity challenge and lost two members. First Jasha, because she was emotionally very weak and quit the game. Secondly, because they had to vote someone out:

Christine = 3 (Pieter, Gerrit, Nathalie)
Nathalie = 2 (Christine, Martijn)

Weakest member Christine had to go.


Seventh tribal council
Both teams came together and Nathalie won individual immunity.

Martijn = 6 (Pascale, Richard, Melanie, Jennifer, Nathalie, Koenraad)
Koenraad = 2 (Pieter, Martijn)
Pieter = 1 (Gerrit)

Former Simbang stuck together and voted out strong-in-challenges-but-weak-around-camp Martijn, while former Lima turned on each other.


Eighth tribal council
Pascale wins individual immunity.

Nathalie = 6 (Pascale, Richard, Melanie, Jennifer, Koenraad, Pieter)
Pieter = 2 (Nathalie, Gerrit)

Simbang sticks together and is joined by Pieter. Together, they pick of the next person, Nathalie.


Ninth tribal council
Pieter wins individual immunity.

Gerrit = 4 (Pascale, Richard, Jennifer, Koenraad)
Jennifer = 2 (Melanie, Gerrit)
Richard = 1 (Pieter)

Melanie leaves the alliance because Gerrit convinces her it is not right to make alliances in this game. Gerrit is voted out.


Tenth tribal council
Jennifer left the game because of physical problems (she had to go to the hospital because her gastrointestinal tract wasn't working properly anymore). There was a tribal council anyhow and Pascale wins individual immunity.

Koenraad = 2 (Pascale, Richard)
Melanie = 1 (Pieter)
Pieter = 1 (Koenraad)
Richard = 1 (Melanie)

However, in a twist Koenraad doesn't have to leave because Jennifer already left. He does get a "black vote": an extra vote against for the next tribal council.


Eleventh tribal council
Melanie wins individual immunity.

Koenraad = 5 (Pascale, Richard, Melanie, Pieter, Black vote)
Pieter = 1 (Koenraad)

Unfortunately, Koenraad's third life ends here and he is voted out unanimously.


Twelfth tribal council
Pieter wins individual immunity.

Richard = 2 (Pieter, Melanie)
Melanie = 2 (Richard, Pascale)

Pieter joins Melanie and they vote out their strongest opponent. However, there was a tie, so a draw took place to determine who had to leave. The unlucky one was....... Melanie.


Final three
Pieter, Pascale and Richard take part in two challenges. Pascale wins the first one (endurance/balance), Richard wins the second one (survival). This means Pieter hasn't won any of the challenges and has to leave.


Final two
Richard = 7 (Gerrit, Jennifer, Koenraad, Nathalie, Pieter, Melanie, Martijn)
Pascale = 0

The previously eliminated participants unanimously vote Richard as the winner of Expeditie Robinson 2001, because he was the father figure, the tactical leader and knew everything about survival, while Pascale rode his coattails.
