This show was the start of a new "era" of ER, with a bit more extravagant candidates and with some changes in the game which would come back later.
First episode
At the first day of the show, both Björn and Fatima arrive at their island. They will both be leaders, which means that they will be immune for the first two tribal councils. Both build a shelter and try to make fire. At the second day, the other participants arrive. Fatima is surprised when she sees the men, but they click right away. The women have a bit more trouble with Björn, as they don't think they need a male leader. However, after a few starting-problems, they work together and team Pantai wins the first elimination challenge (mostly due to Ryan of team Timo not being able to get past a balance beam).
Timo voted this way:
Simon = 5 (Fatima, Robin, Judge, Giovani, Ryan)
Ryan = 3 (Simon, Eric, Geert)
Fatima was immune.
Youngest and weakest member Simon, who was already struggling with homesickness, got an unexpected boot.
Second episode
There are more and more problems in team Pantai, because Esther can't stand leader Björn and wants him to leave as soon as possible. Some women agree with Esther, others are quite happy with Björn. At the men's team there are trouble because Ryan is angry he got so many votes against. The elimination challenge is lost by team Pantai, to the delight of Björn because he wants Esther to leave the game. Unfortunately for him, Marlieke felt really weak and asked her teammates to vote her out. This was the results of the voting:
Marlieke = 7 (Eva, Esther, Ilona, Franca, Karen, Jutta)
Esther = 1 (Björn)
Jutta = 1 (Marlieke)
Björn had immunity.
Again, the weakest person with homesickness leaves the show, this time Marlieke.
Third episode
More and more trouble at Pantai, because the women do nothing but sleep and let Björn do all the work. He tries to have a conversation about this, but gets shut down by Esther. Both leaders get mail: they have to evaluate their leadership and decide whether they think they are capable enough to be leader for another two tribal council rounds (and thus receive immunity for two more rounds). Both Fatima and Björn think they are. The men are happy with Fatima's decision, the women don't agree with Björn's. Björn and Jutta win the reward challenge together and receive a meal, cooked by the losers of the challenge: Fatima and Robin. During the meal Pansai grow closer. However, at the immunity challenge (where teams have to eat gross things), matters get worse when Ilona cannot eat a worm and therefore lose the challenge. Esther blames Björn because she thinks he pressured Ilona too much. However, Björn still cannot be voted out, so we get a tribal council with interesting results:
Esther = 2 (Björn, Karen)
Eva = 1 (Jutta)
Ilona = 1 (Eva)
Franca = 1 (Ilona)
Jutta = 1 (Franca)
Karen = 1 (Esther)
Esther knew she was gonna be voted out and asked the other women to all vote for each other, so the blame of her elimination fully felt on Björn.
Fourth episode
There is a tribal switch. Fatima and Björn both go to another island to get to know the other teams. The women's team are really happy with this, especially Ilona and Karen, who both hate Björn. The men are not happy to lose Fatima, especially Giovani is grumpy about this. After meeting the other teams, both Fatima and Björn have to make a ranking with whom of the teams they see as the strongest competitors. Björn puts Giovani first and Judge last, Fatima puts Jutta first and Karen last. Both the first and last of the list join the leader in their old teams. So these are the new teams:
Pantai = Björn, Eva, Ilona, Franca, Judge, Giovani
Timo = Fatima, Eric, Robin, Geert, Ryan, Karen, Jutta
After the switch, both teams get to know each other, except for Fatima. She feels ill and doesn't socialize with the others. After a check-up with the medical team it is decided that Fatima has to leave the game, to the tears of the other participants. However, there still is an immunity challenge which is lost by Timo. They vote this way:
Eric = 4 (Ryan, Robin, Karen, Jutta)
Ryan = 1 (Geert)
Jutta = 1 (Eric)
But because Fatima left the game, Eric doesn't have to leave. He does get a "black vote" for the next tribal council. At the end of the episode, we get to see how Fatima visits the hospital, where she gets the news that the reason for her having to leave the game is because she is four months pregnant! We get to see how she gets a sonography (for pictures, see: http://www.expeditierobinson.net/index.php?p=er4-aflevering04)
Fifth episode
Again, the leaders have to fight for their position. Because Fatima is gone, team Timo have to decide among themselves who is the new leader. Due to a strong speech by Robin, Geert is chosen as the new leader. Ryan was his only opponent, but the team chose Geert. In Pantai, Giovani decides to challenge Björn. Both take part in a physical challenge and the winner will be the new leader. It's Björn who wins the challenge, stays the leader and gets immunity again. At the immunity challenge, team Pantai have some trouble. It's a swimming challenge and Judge is weak in this, so the team wants him to sit out. However, he refuses to do, so Björn sits out. The team loses the challenge because of Judge, which makes Giovani really angry.
Nevertheless, later he, Björn and Judge decide to make an alliance because they are sure the women have an alliance as well. The voting goes as this:
Judge = 3 (Eva, Ilona, Franca)
Eva = 3 (Björn, Judge, Giovani)
As the leader, Björn has to decide who leaves. He chooses Eva, because he thinks she is not strong enough for the individual part of the game.
