Expedition Robinson: after-talk episode 11

expedition robinson 2022
When I heard the news that Elon Musk is now officially the owner of Twitter, my first serious thought was: what about the Robinson tweets? This can only become one big fiasco if he is the owner. And that sucks, because I enjoy the tweets about Expedition every week. Every week we can still catch, we should enjoy it extra. This episode was another one, people had to have an opinion about it. Well, luckily they did. And so did I, by the way.

1. ‘In the meantime, I’ve made a nice little bed,’ says Mike. Camera: *shows a few branches* Poor. Mike. Doesn’t that drive you completely crazy, that loneliness?

2. I had never heard of Vincent before Expedition (sorry), but I realize again in this episode that I never want to compete against him in any form. Guaranteed to lose. What can't that man do?

3. Niels losing his lead because of his clumsy balance = how I get through life.

4. Let’s acknowledge that this is also a life-threatening experiment. There could be broken legs here. Hopefully, there are no needles present, because that would be really grim. But hey, apparently, no doctors are coming by after all.

5. Delightful how Ferry hops over the finish line half-galloping. Hop, hop, hop.

6. By the way, there are those people who look good enough to be taken through a ring under any circumstances. Thijs is such a person. He can say he has the worst hangover ever, has 100-degree fever, and still looks like he could be on the cover of a magazine.

7. So I am NOT that kind of person and I am unreasonably jealous. When I have my worst hangover ever, I look more like I haven’t had a roof over my head for three years. There has to be a difference.

8. But this man is really carrying FIFTEEN of those weight-rope-bag things and looks great.

9. Watching from my couch, I really have phantom pain in my legs and shoulders from this experiment.

10. ‘And Ferry, I’m taking you out for your birthday. JUST KIDDING. Thijs, London, come on guys.’ HAHA, Niels, what is this? ‘I’m taking you out to dinner in the Netherlands.’ Ah yes, that’s precisely useless now.

11. Whuuuuut. There. Is. PLUNDERING. After ten episodes, we finally find out what it actually means. I still have no idea, by the way. If Ferry’s immunity coin is plundered… But Ferry decides to use it first, what happens then? Or is there first a request for the Plunder? Such a vague concept.

12. Oh, it’s an alarm. The plunder alarm has been activated.
Dzifa: ‘I don’t know what that means.’
Ferry: ‘Me neither.’
Same.

13. For someone who doesn’t necessarily want to stay, Mike is extremely cheerful.

14. I have never seen anyone leave Expedition Robinson so cheerfully voluntarily. Normally, I find it annoying when people give up, but how can you feel that way about such a happy person like Mike?

15. Niek, why would you do that? Why are you apologizing for something that hasn’t even happened yet? I find awkward quite an understatement.

16. HAHA. Sorry, but guys, this Plunder?! What is happening here again? ‘Do you have an immunity coin?’ ‘No.’ ‘Okay.’ And then on we go. The intern who came up with this concept should come in for a chat again.

17. How did this go there as well? ‘Yeah guys, let’s do a new element this year. Super exciting, and we’ll call it the Plunder. And if you have it, you can plunder someone else’s immunity.‘ ’Yeah, COOL. But… What if that person doesn’t have any immunity at all?‘ ’Oh yeah, hmm… Then nothing happens and you awkwardly walk back to your spot at the Island Council.‘ ’Cool.‘ ’COOL.‘

18. It’s actually quite sad that Niek wants to do the right thing and follows his feelings and that — understatement — backfires quite a bit. I think Niek has such a sweet face. You can’t vote that out, can you? He really wouldn’t hurt a fly.

19. Naaah, Thijs. Chill. I just gave you all compliments, and suddenly you attack my favorite Niek. Just tone it down, mistakes can happen.

21. Vincent: ‘I will be the boy who lived.’ LOVE IT. Hands up if you also want Vincent to win.

21. Of course, the funniest tweets in a row, for as long as it lasts.

Who would you prefer as the winner?
