Expeditie Robinson 6 (2005) - Belgium/Netherlands - Part 4

Eleventh tribal council
After Douwe's elimination there are three women left at Mensirip. They soon get another man, because Marnix decided to take Carl's place at Goal. Emma is really happy with this, she gets along much better with Marnix than with Carl. When Carl arrives at Mensirip again, the women ignore him and he spends all his time alone. The next day, when Carl goes fishing, Fleur tells the other two women that Carl talked to her yesterday and said he would never vote her out. Marleen and Meredith don't like to hear this and want Carl to go even more now.

The reward challenge is won by Meredith, after Carl decided not to take part. The price is namely a visit of a loved one and Carl thinks the women deserve to get this more than he does. Meredith goes to another island where - to her surprise - six people live. These are all the loved ones. She can talk to all of them and when the day is over, go back to her old team and tell the others that she talked to their loved ones.

The immunity challenge is a balance one. Fleur is the first one to be eliminated, followed by Marleen. It's a match between Meredith and Carl. Finally, it's Meredith who wins. She decides to cast the black vote she gets to Carl. Back at camp, Carl is really angry he got this vote. He attacks Meredith and thinks she doesn't deserve to be on the island because all she does is sleep. She never does any of the chores. The women are angry at him and decide among themselves to use all the votes they have left to vote Carl out. They are done with the tactical game and eliminate all the votes they have left. So the voting goes this way:

Carl = 10 (Fleur x3, Marleen x2, Meredith x4)

Carl himself decided not to vote and gets finally eliminated.


Twelfth tribal council
Meredith arrives at Goal,where she decides to send Marnix back to the old team because Emma is her best friend. The two enjoy their time together and are even more lucky when their loved ones visit Goal. However, this luck doesn't last forever and the next day, the two friends have to battle each other in a challenge. The person who loses has to return to Mensirip, while the winner is qualified for the final. This loser is Meredith, who spend only one night at Goal and goes back to the team. Emma now made it to the final and had immunity for every tribal council because she won one immunity challenge and spend loads of time at Goal.

The team was partying because Carl got eliminated, but are surprised to see Meredith return. They are happy for Emma, but are worried because they now know the final is next. At the reward challenge they get a shock because their family members do the challenge instead of them. It is the mother of Fleur who wins the challenge and gets to spend some time with her, while Marnix and Marleen still haven't talked to their family members yet.

The next day, Fleur's mothers leaves again and the other candidates take part in the immunity challenge. Meredith finishes last in the challenge, followed by Marleen and Fleur. This means Marnix again won a challenge. He has to cast a black vote again and gives this to Meredith, because she finished last. Because she and the other women don't have any votes left this means the only way Meredith can be saved is if Marnix votes for someone else. But he makes clear he is not going to do this, so Meredith will have to leave the show. Again, we get a tribal council with very little votes:

Meredith = 1 (black vote)

So, obviously Meredith has to leave.


Final
It's time for the final. Emma, Fleur, Marleen and Marnix. Emma returns back at Mensirip and is really angry when she sees that Meredith was voted out. She blames Marnix because she thinks Marnix should have saved her and voted out someone else.
The first challenge is a classic: a balance challenge which is done every year. The person who finishes last will be eliminated immediately. Marnix thinks he will be this person, but it's obvious that it is Fleur who has the most trouble. She has horrible balance and always did badly in these kind of challenges. After almost two hours she is the first one to fall off the beam which means Fleur is eliminated from the final. The other three continue and it's Emma who falls second, followed by Marleen. This means Marnix has won and gets two extra votes besides the six he still has.

During the last day the three people left, Emma, Marleen and Marnix, burn down their camp. That night they go to the final tribal council where they meet the jury. They answer their questions and the six jury members vote. But there is a twist: the finalists who have votes left can use these votes for themselves or another finalist. Marnix has eight votes (six who he never cast plus two he won at the last challenge) and Emma has five votes left. They cast these after the jury, Marleen has no votes and cannot vote.

The next day there is a little surprise: the three finalists take part in their final challenge. With this challenge they can win even more votes: they have to answer questions about the other candidates and if they get these right, they win two extra votes. The person who goes through the challenge the fastest gets another four votes. Because the three take the challenge separately, they don't know how they have done it: they will hear this after a few months, during the reunion show.

At the reunion show, all the results of the voting and the challenge are revealed. But this is not the only thing: the audience also gets to vote for who they think should win. So there are many factors who get to vote: 25% of the vote is decided by the jury members/the finalists vote, 25% is decided by the final challenge and 50% is decided by the televoting. The results of all these voting were:

Jury vote
Elbert = Marnix
Maxime = Marnix
Douwe = Emma
Carl = Marnix
Meredith = Emma
Fleur = Marleen
Marnix = 3 votes
Emma = 2 votes
Marleen = 1 vote

Finalists vote
Marnix = 8 votes (cast all of his votes to himself)
Emma = 5 votes (cast all of her votes to herself)
Marleen = 0 votes

Challenge
Marnix was the only one to answer the first question right. The second question was answered right by all three of them and the third question was answered right by Emma and Marleen. The fastest time of the challenge was by Marnix. This means the finalists get these extra votes:
Marnix = 4 votes
Emma = 2 votes
Marleen = 2 votes

Audience
We never got to see the final results, but these was the final intermediate score before the full results were announced:
Marnix = 48%
Emma = 33%
Marleen = 19%

In full, this means that the final results are (of all of the above combined in some percentage):

Marnix = 53%
Emma = 29,5%
Marleen = 17,5%

This means Marnix is the (obvious) winner of Expeditie Robinson 2005!
