Why I want to participate in Expeditie Robinson 2017


I'm already half dozing off and suddenly see a message from a friend pop up. “KIKI, YOU CAN NOW SIGN UP FOR EXPEDITIE ROBINSON.” My breath catches. I sit up straight in bed. This is a joke, right? RIGHT? I check the news. This is no joke. This is reality. Oh my god, you have no idea how many times I've wished to be on this show.

To secretly still be a part of it, I shouted last season Kiki's Expeditie Robinson-Chatter into existence. A lot of sarcastic rambling about the comings and goings of sixteen celebrities on an island, which turned out to be quite a hit. How I ended my final article ? “P.S: Creators of the show, maybe consider inviting a female writer next year? Someone who really connects with the show and stuff? Someone from Amayzine or something? Just saying.”

AND NOW THERE'S A CHANCE. You, me, the neighbor: we can all sign up for the ultimate survival show. During a casting weekend, four participants will ultimately be chosen. Just ‘normal’ Dutch people. Isn't that incredibly cool? At the editorial office, we all agree that I just have to go for it. No doubt about it. We've even made a list. Why do I want to participate in Expeditie Robinson 2017?

Creators, I'll provide those gooooooood quotes in those wicker confession booths

  1. Because I would really like to take on the challenge of a month without eyeliner, bangs, and wearing heels. Or can I bring the last ones? A pair? Oh, come on? #okégrap.
  2. Okay okay, maybe I'm not really a fit girl, but endurance? Absolutely. Fanatical? You bet. Perfectionist? Quite a bit. And HELLO, I've been in scouting for years so I know better than anyone how to survive. Tying knots, making fires, eating nasty Smac sausage from a can; yep, I've done it.
  3. Hell the fuck yeah I'm going to catch that damn advertising bird and actually eat it. Even if it's my last stunt.
  4. No seriously, just a bit about scouting, I was woken up in the middle of the night by pots, pans, and lids to be blindfolded and kidnapped. And then just dropped five kilometers away, right? At four in the morning. No shit.
  5. I love a good psychological conversation, but I can also just chat away. Who will be my new Jay? Look no further, I'm your new Bertie!
  6. Creators, I'll provide those gooooooood quotes in those wicker confession booths. Hello Kiki's chatter in real life, JWZ.
  7. But honestly, I will turn that whole camp upside down if a too big insect flies or crawls by. That's just how I am. Just imagine what kind of spectacle that eating challenge is going to be.
  8. It would be quite fun for our new design hero Amber, to whom I just casually ask if she can photoshop my head onto an island. That's a job, you should know. Not handy at all. Once I'm on the island, she can just grab the photos from RTL. Just practically speaking, right?
  9. No RTL, I mean it. Surviving for a month on an island with strangers without contact with the outside world, any extras or luxury. Facing yourself, but continuing to challenge yourself. Overcoming your fears. A unique opportunity to survive like a real Robinson, which I would love to take on. Participating in Expeditie Robinson 2017? I think it would be the greatest victory ever.

So creators, will I see you at the casting weekend? Seems only logical, right? ;-) And since I can use all the help I can get, dear Amayzers, I hereby call forth the hashtag #GetKikiToTheIsland. SHARING, TAGGING, FACEBOOKING, GIVING HEARTS BELOW IS WELCOME. Help a girl out!
