expedition jansenWho will win which test, suffer the most hunger or make the meanest plans to vote others out? Reporter Dennis Jansen looks back weekly in the Expedition Jansen section Expeditie Robinson in three themes: heartache, hunger & hero.

HARTZEER
She lurched and fell into the water. She lurched and fell into the water. She lurched again and fell into the water again. Four, five, six times. Sylvana IJsselmuiden turned out to be anything but a Jane from the Tarzanmovies. Because of her, Kamp Noord lost the test. Camp mates Jan van Halst and Défano Holwijn, they were horrified. And the builders of this trial must also have thought: did we put so much time and energy into this? It felt like it was 7-0 at a football match after fifteen minutes.

So I just called Tim Coronel. He had trained Sylvana, hadn’t he? The race car driver himself took part in two years ago Robinson. He stole the hearts of the fans. Averse to scheming, diligent with fishing and a man of emotions. He didn’t make the final. Tim received a call from Sylvana this spring. If he could help her prepare for Expeditie Robinson. Then he could. ,,I taught her how to make a fire, we went fishing, went through tests. The social aspect, but this… this swinging on a rope. I hadn’t taken that into account. Stupid, because I have a climbing park at our go-kart track. Bales, huge bales. Of Expeditie Robinson you never know.”

The mistake was without consequence: Sylvana was spared. To Tim’s relief. “I’m glad she’s still in it.”

HUNGRY
I’ll stay with Tim for a while. I made one two years ago background report by Expeditie Robinson in the Philippines. It is precisely he, the national troop-Robinson, who had to leave after an emotional Island Council. Even behind the scenes they didn’t keep it dry. We traveled back to the Netherlands together. At the airport near Manila, Tim ordered about all 1725 dishes on the menu of the noodle restaurant Ramen Nagi. “Everything tastes good, everything!” he beamed. Watching him feast was already a pleasure. As it is when Yuki eats an egg sandwich. Or Kamp Noord catches a fish (the first in two weeks) and Sandra Ysbrandy prepares it. A (television) cook in your camp is worth gold, Tim Coronel knows. ,,We had Hugo Kennis. He made cassava with crabs, man, that was delicious.” Anyway, we have to keep an eye on Sandra. Do we remember who won two years ago? That’s right, Hugo Kennis!

HELD
I am still amazed at the reactions of the voted out candidates. They were completely stunned, Jasmine Sendar first and last week Jasper Demollin. Have they never Expeditie Robinson watched? Too bad Jasper Demollin can’t take revenge. It’s annoying from the makers: first make us feel good with his chance for revenge and a week later he’s out. Away hero roll. Now bet on Anouk Maas. It manifests itself quite a bit on Afvallerseiland. Much to Rob Geus’s dismay. He thinks that Anouk ‘takes too much control’.
–
Would Rob ever get tired of himself? What kind of pathetic ego behavior is this? Anouk takes the shovel, she looks for snails and crabs, is strong in the tests, what more could you want? It remains to be seen whether she will make it to the final. If you can do just about anything, you are a true Robinson, so feared and usually you will be voted out. But yes, if you can’t do much, like Rob Geus and John de Bever – the Peppi & Kokki van Expeditie Robinson – you can’t make it either. Certainly not when you are whining aggrieved (Geus), or when an adjutant (De Bever) is ordering things – ‘as long as I’m here, what I say will happen’. Another week, at most two, then they will be at home.
