KIKI'S EXPEDITION ROBINSON-GABBLE
Week 4: wow, we did NOT see that coming
A very good morning, my Ex Rob fans. Welcome to team mushy food and so on. Yesterday at half past 8 our favorite show was back on the air. First of all: what an episode, A lot of things I didn't expect resulted in painful gym class shizzle all over again.
Not in the mood for spoilers? Well, then just read a bit this about girlfriends and drinking wine? Less fun, but still quite cozy. Or the rambling from week 1 here, week 2 there, plus week 3 everywhere, you're all caught up. Alright, here we go. At the beginning of the episode, a mysterious letter is dropped at both camps. “Choose the one you need the most during the trials and step onto the boat,” the assignment reads. So, that's nice and vague, right? And quite a sensitive little snake-in-the-grass, Alex (Kraantje Pappie) thinks so too. In ‘his’ group, Jessie is therefore pushed forward. “Not the strongest, but strong. Not the smartest, but smart. Just not quite, except very clever,” says Kraantje. There's some truth to that. The gorilla in camp South (this is the point where we all know this is about JayJay) wants to push himself forward as the strongest. But his teammates prefer Dave as the natural leader and step onto the boat with that conclusion.
“What an awkwardness: ‘Kitesurfer, I choose you, I just don't remember your name anymore.’”
And then it happens. Just when you think you’re finally getting to know team North and South a bit, the WHOLE thing gets turned upside down. Once they arrive at Dennis, Jessie and Dave-I-like-you-more-and-more-Roelvink get the important task of reshuffling the teams. With quite a bit of awkwardness, the new teams are formed. Jessie about Jalou: “Kitesurfer, I choose you, I just don't remember your name anymore.” Ouch ouch ouch. Poor Lex turns out to be the least popular and the poor sheep is chosen last during gym class. Television that you can hardly handle. Dave seems to be leaving with a less strong team, but turns out to be the smartest of everyone. Because he knows that tattoo lover Kraantje and muscle guy JayJay are thick friends outside the game, he doesn't want both gentlemen in his camp. You definitely don't want such a guaranteed pact on board, Dave, I get it. Once the teams have been reshuffled with pain and effort, it's immediately time for the trial. Again an absurdly brilliant one: the teams must move balls over a course without touching them. Camp North wins immunity and Jessie proves: with temporary muscle strength, she wins a lot for now. The question is for how long.
Furthermore, chaos broke out on the island over a few bamboo sticks, Farmer Bertie came up with brilliant one-liners again, and the island council is unbearable, so sneaky. So here we go again: the points we need to discuss this week.
1. My favorite farmer Bertie is joined by Elle. ‘Welcome to the island, mushy food.’ I’m cracking up. In a few weeks, she’ll have built her own cheese factory, walking hand in hand with Elle van Rijn, and they’ll be eating potatoes.
2. Even more Twitter jokes: if you cross Vin Diesel with David the Gnome, you get JayJay. But really. Just take a good look.
3. What I also find quite fascinating: put sixteen people on an island without valuable items and they apparently start fighting over bamboo. DAFUCK is wrong with you, people.
4. Poor Koos, hoping to find something ‘of value’ once, comes back with an inedible starfish. #lekkerbezigvriend.
5. Wouldn't Alex and Jessie ideally not be in the team with Dave? I thought so, right. Oh and An, I sometimes fear a bit for your neck. Will you stay a bit social? almost went under this week, I genuinely see her going far. Being very understanding and shit, but in the meantime... Oh and An, can you explain to me how that works with those braids? I find it amazing. The burning question that remains after this episode: WHO VOTED FOR GABY?! Aah, probably our Jef Alberts. That old goat doesn’t quite get the plots yet. *LoveForTeamBartho.
6. I’m not the only one who realizes that JayJay has a flat? Or an attack of sand fleas between his balls, that could also be. Jay, could you please stop grabbing your crotch on television? I often eat during the episode. Stop it. (Update: JayJay just sent me a message on Twitter including a zoomed-in crotch-grabbing video with the text ‘I had trouble with ‘JungleBalls’ @kikiduren, hence. Look friend, that’s what I call humor.).
7. Meanwhile, during the reshuffle… Guys, does anyone want Lex? Anyone?
8. About three-quarters of the Dutch now hate Mrs. M. van den Berg from Staphorst, who is happily taking off with ‘our’ dream trip worth 10 thousand euros. WHYYYY?
9. That same three-quarters hopes very hard that it won’t rain all week, otherwise Farmer Bertie will bail and the fun will be completely gone.
10. That same three-quarters secretly has a lump in their throat at the end of the episode when Lex goes under and has simultaneously thought about puns like ‘Lexit’ and ‘This is the end of your Lexpedition.’ Yeah yeah, just admit it, hypocrites. I get it.
11. That was it again! More rambling next week. And something with JayJay irritations that I think will reach a boiling point. Oh god, that’s going to be funny again….
