Expeditie Robinson 2009 Netherlands/Belgium: Episode 5

Blog Post by Arthur

Episode 5


The episode started with a tribal council: the three people who thought the show is too difficult for them went to tribal council: Birgit, Carine and Esther. At tribal, the host told them that only one of the three would go home and the three had to discuss who this would be. Birgit was selected because she refused to go back to camp.

The men and Marina received a letter and were told that they had to pick two men who would go to the women’s tribe and had to pick four women who would come to their tribe. Because none of the men wanted to go to the other tribe, they drew and Kurt and Jeroen were the unlucky ones. After this, Dennis, Igor, Marcel and Marina decided to pick Esmeralda, Esther, Marjolein and Yolanda for their new tribe. They became team Noord, while the Kurt & Jeroen joined the other seven women to join team Zuid.

At the immunity challenge the two new tribes formed. But there was a twist: because one team had one extra person, that tribe had to decide who would leave the show right away. Carine volunteered and was taken out of the show. The two new tribes battled in a challenge and team Noord won. So team Zuid had to vote someone out.

The two new men, Kurt and Jeroen, worked their hardest to prove to the women that they deserved to stay in the show. Sabine got along great with the new men, but the other women had other problems. Carolien got really sick: she lost a lot of weight and was feeling really weak.

At tribal council, it was an unanimous vote. Everybody voted for Carolien, while she voted for Eva. Carolien left the island and finally got the chance to eat again.


For interest, a short description of the people who are left in the show:

Dennis = The male narrator. He was the one who narrated the walk through the jungle the men made. He is also the one who is most keen on voting Igor out, who is the outsider between the men.

Esmeralda = The leader. Everybody is extremly positive about her, she is by far the strongest women in the show and everybody has loads of respect for her. She was able to lead strong-willed people like Carine and Sabine, who were the previous leaders of the show.

Esther = The social girl. She does yoga and wants the teams to be one happy team. When the other women ignored Carine, she was the only one who talked with her and tried to make her part of the tribe again. She misses her family a lot and tried to quit a couple of times.

Eva = The silent girl. During the first night she got in an argument with Carine because she had said that she didn’t think Carine was a positive person. After this argument, Carine voted her as the weakest person and she was almost eliminated in the first challenge. After that, she never received much attention again.

Igor = The loner. He spends a lot of time on his own, walking though the jungle and looking for food. He doesn’t seem to have a good relationship with the other men, who talked about voting him off if they had to.

Jeroen = The survivor. Of the men, he seems to be the strongest and know the most about how to survive. He is now the big favorite to win, although we don’t know if he is able to play a strategic game.

Jill = The sky one. Another ignored person, who was only shown during the third immunity challenge, where she was in an important position and failed, which made her team loose the challenge.

Kurt = The forgotten. I don’t remember anything he did except for working really hard to be accepted by the women.

Marcel = The dirty old man. He was not happy when he found out he would start the show with only men because he really wanted to meet some women. Especially the young women. He was disappointed when Marina arrived at their beach because he was hoping for a younger person (even though Marina is seven years younger than he is), but the two now seem to get along fine.

Marina = The finalist. She won the first immunity challenge and automatically qualified for the final. She spend a night alone on a beach before the men arrived and showed there that the victory was not just luck, she was capable of surviving alone. But she was really happy when the men arrived, she got along much better with them.

Marjolein = The positive who turned negative. The first few episodes she was really happy to be on the island, but now she is done with the show because she is too hungry and she can’t stand the negative atmosphere between the other women.

Rita = The girl with the black eye. We don’t know much about her, except that during the first challenge, someone kicked her in the eye when she was swimming and she got a black eye.

Sabine = The harsh woman. She was the leader of first team Noord, where she tried to make an alliance with the younger girls. When one of these girls quit the alliance she got really angry and said she would murder the girl if she didn’t get voted out. But she got and after the voting, the teams merged after which she kinda disappeared.

Simone = The horny girl. She was voted out first by her tribe, but in a twist she was sent to the island and got to lead her camp for a while. She handled this slightly better then Carine did and was eventually accepted by her team. She is the one who longed the most for men, not only for their strength but also because she is desparate for some attention.

Yolanda = The potty mouth, she says what she thinks, but gets along with most of the other younger women.
