expedition jansenWho wins which test, is the most hungry or has the meanest plans to vote others out? Reporter Dennis Jansen looks back weekly in the Expedition Jansen section Expedition Robinson in three themes: hunger, hero & heartache.
HUNGRY
Do you want Expedition Robinson to win? Become a television chef! Sandra Ysbrandy did an excellent job in 2021, Hugo Kennis even triumphed in 2019. Of course, you have to have a little bit of everything (just like for a tasty dish): a little strength, a dash of sympathy and a dash of tactics. And if you can also cook well, then you have the gun factor and therefore an advantage. In short: London Loy – what a great name! -, with Don King hair, Captain Iglobe beard and high teddy bear count, is going to go a long way. Unlike, I suspect, Marion Pauw. “More flour, more flour and much more flour?” she begged as she cooked. Oh, that doesn’t bode well.
HERO
For a moment he caused confusion. While looking for the quiver in the sandbox, Iliass Ojja seemed to have success (“Yeah right!”), only to mourn (“Oh no”) but then to rejoice again: “Just kidding, I did.” So bland, but so deliciously bland. A little humor can Expedition Robinson do use. In Mocro Mafia Iliass Ojja plays the part of Taxi, not really a sweetheart. He wasn’t into that either The Traitors van Videoland when he (this time figuratively) just as easily stabbed a knife in the back of the fellow candidates, but did win. I asked him on the press day if he also knew that drink of the same name (Taksi).
Duh!
,,Sure. I even got packages sent to me,” he said. “Sometimes with my head stuck on it.” Iliass aka Taxi is already my favorite: Don’t let those tinkerers have been cutting and pasting for nothing.
HEART SICKNESS
Far too many broadcasts (two a week), too many candidates, too many islands and too many (poor) plot twists and then also an edition in cold Croatia. To shiver, the last edition, the All Stars series was not included. Now we are back on a real tropical island and it is clear for the time being. The heartache in the first episode was in choosing the teams. I was reminded of the old days when we played football in the schoolyard. We did ‘legs’. Two boys walking towards each other step by step. Whoever came out on the top shoe was allowed to choose (the best footballer) first. The boys with the motor skills of a revived armor were then chosen last. Now Dennis Wilt (weatherman) and Juultje Tieleman (influencer) were looking very sad. Last chosen, take revenge! I hope they make it to the final.
