Expedition Robinson: Aftershow episode 8

Expedition Robinson 2022

First of all, I must apologize to you, because I have neglected you. A full two weeks. Ridiculous, I know. No idea if I really have a good excuse, but I was in the middle of a move where literally everything went wrong that could go wrong. Still not fixed by the way, because my internet and TV still don't work, so I'm watching Expedition on my phone now. It's not as primitive as on a deserted island, but it's not ideal. But hey, I've missed it so I'm ready again. Let’s goooo Robbesnollennnn.

1. I find Dzifa so intensely sweet. So positive and full of energy. Really a beautiful person.

2. Oh god, this is really the trial from hell. Secretly, I would like to try this at home to see how long I could last. I think a minute. Maybe three, on a good day.

3. No matter how tough those trials are — I would never do it — I still find them a bit... Boring. In the meantime, I can make a cup of tea (and I will do that) and I’ll hear a splash when someone is out again.

4. It's wonderful how Rick expresses genuine surprise at every new score about how bizarrely long they have been hanging there. Nicolette is probably a bit more blasé about this classic.

5. Vincent can get the Plunder in one of the tubes. Has anyone figured out what the Plunder actually means? I've long forgotten.

6. The longer Devrim stays on the island, the meaner he seems to look. Now he openly states that if ‘he can't do anything during the trial, he will do that.’ Well. I hereby join the ‘Devrim home’ club.

7. Camp Dzifa (I keep forgetting those colors) is by far the coziest and most positive team. I would join them in yoga every morning.

8. Naaah, look how sweet. What kind of season of Expedition is this, man? Suddenly tubes are being shared, openness everywhere; watskeburtttt.

9. PARTY. It's a Plunder in the tube. Amazing. But what does that thing do?!

10. Correction: I want to be the president of the ‘Devrim home’ club. Is he seriously going to say: ‘Then you handled it poorly’ because he did nothing? And then he’s going to slyly smile with pride?

11. Expedition Robinson really brings out the worst in this man, hooooly shitballs. I'm not going to watch Beat The Champions for a while, I find this behavior so pathetic. Okay, I never watched that anyway, but now I'm definitely not going to watch it anymore.

12. Look, it can also be like this: Niek who simply remembers Mike's son's birthday. Absolutely adorable. The makers definitely edited it this way on purpose: from the worst participant to the best camp.

13. This conversation between Chatilla and Dennis: so beautiful. And it's such a shame that we don't see these kinds of things anymore in Expedition Robinson: this is how you really get to know the participants.

14. I didn't necessarily expect to cry during this episode of Expedition. Yet it happened.

15. And I don't mean just a tear, okay. This has turned into a full-blown sobbing party.

16. Ah, my tears have dried up. Camera goes straight to Devrim who clearly explains to Ilias again that he is indeed not going to do anything during the trial. Really a classy participant.

17. ‘All of the Netherlands is going to hate you, huh. You’re going to be the Gargamel of this season,’ says Ilias. Well, that has turned out to be quite accurate.

18. Can someone else just steal Devrim's immunity coin so he gets kicked out right away? Seems just as childish as how he plays this Expedition, right? Should be possible.

19. Go April. GO APRIL.

20. Devrim: ‘She indirectly calls me fat.’ Uh, no. She directly calls you antisocial.

21. Nice trial this, seems so fun, catapulting those balls away.

22. Um, excuse me? Ilias and Niels are going to vote Ferry out? So not in agreement. Ridiculous.

23. Wait, whut? What happened here? I'm grabbing the champagne. Joeejoeee, bye bye Devrim.

24. As the self-appointed president of the ‘Devrim home’ club, I would like to set up a GoFundMe for Niels. Who needs confrontations when you can play it like this? Brilliant.

25. Yes, yes, the funniest tweets about this episode in a row. Still fun:
