Expedition Robinson: The Aftertalk of episode 31

expedition robinson

Nah, that it would ever come to this. That we could still say in 2021 that the final of Expedition Robinson is in sight. I can hardly imagine it. It honestly feels like years ago that Stefano was voted out, but it still hurts. I feel like dozens of participants also voluntarily took the plane home, and there were definitely hundreds of people participating this season. But now really: the semi-final. LET’S GO.

1. HAHA. That flashback. Britte, come on, a little self-awareness. ‘I’m not really sure if I’m a tactical player.’ Well, I think you’ve outdone yourself.

2. ‘But Britte has been lying to me for 24 hours. I don’t know what happened here, but I haven’t seen them for two weeks and they are completely loco.’ I love Robbert.

3. It’s also bizarre, those videos from a week before departure. You really see how much weight they have lost.

4. By the way, I really hope Robbert takes that win. That tactical game is fine to watch and certainly entertaining, but it’s nice if someone wins who has been honest non-stop.

5. Just a thought in between: how happy will Wietse be that he packed his things back then? He felt quite taken for a ride that there seemed to be no end, and now it’s episode 30 and the semi-final is finally starting. Good choice, I think, Wietse.

6. Nice that Anouk, Do, and JayJay are doing some image repair for Britte. Because seriously, I think she is really very sweet and funny. But the creators have chosen not to show that in the episodes this season.

7. Yes, definitely that the semi-final will last several days. This coming Thursday we’ll be back for it, bet? But if it ends with a cliffhanger, I’ll throw my TV out.

8. Nice to shake hands and introduce each other in the semi-final. Very dry, this. But not very strange, since there were about a hundred participants this season.

9. The whole season they bombard us with dramatic Billie Eilish-like music, but while watching the fruit (for lack of a better description) we are treated to a cheerful rumba. It should be allowed.

10. Quite a tame challenge for a semi-final, sorry to say. It consists of multiple rounds, so I assume it will get a bit more active and exciting… But still.

11. Well, we have to honestly admit that all that scheming from Britte has earned her a spot in the final. Whuttt.

12. I get really annoyed by these kinds of challenges. Keeping balance and building: terrible. It makes me a bit grumpy from my couch.

13. Robbert also looks like he could burst into tears at any moment. Maybe he will do that if he makes it to the final. I’m rooting for youuuu.

14. YAAAA. Love it. Robbert is going to win this season. I can just feel it.

15. Croatia consists of 1200 islands. This season of Expedition Robinson has had so many that they have returned to an island they visited earlier.

16. Hmm, I think Yuki is also a bit fed up with it by now. He prefers to be on a plane heading home.

17. Right, that semi-final lasts several days. The first day consisted of Memory and Jenga. What’s coming next? A game of Risk? I give this first half a failing grade.

18. Wait a minute. The third finalist: does that mean the other three are immediately sent home? I actually assumed only one would be eliminated.

19. Seriously, it takes them half a year to send the first person away and then it gets halved just before the final.

20. WHAT. Hold on. A cliffhanger, seriously?! So intensely lame, this. Can someone check who’s in that preview? And tell me it’s Yuki or JayJay? Then I can sleep well until Thursday.

21. Of course, I’ve gathered the funniest tweets for you. Conclusion: everyone found the challenges boring and the cliffhanger sucks.
