Expeditie Robinson 2008 is the tenth season of the Dutch/Belgian reality television series Expeditie Robinson. The show premiered on August 31, 2008, and concluded on November 23, 2008.
Initially, the Final Two tied in a 4-4 jury vote, As a result, 100 former contestants of Expeditie Robinson were invited to the live reunion show to cast a vote for either of the two finalists to win. 74 of them voted (a further 7 also voted but their votes were voided as they did not vote for either of the final two). Yin Oei Sian defeated Hans Meenhorst in a 58-16 vote to become the Sole Survivor.
On October 11, 2008, four days after the second episode's broadcast, Expeditie Robinson host Ernst-Paul Hasselbach was killed alongside production assistant Leentje Custers in a car accident in Lom, Norway during filming of the third season of 71˚ Noord, a Dutch/Belgian reality show where contestants hike through tough conditions in Norway. It is based on the Norwegian show of the same name. At the end of the reunion show, a tribute montage played in his memory, compiling footage and photos from his tenure as host. At the end, a final thank-you message to Ernst-Paul was shown, written by the rest of the crew. He would be replaced by Flemish host Evi Hanssen and Dutch host Eddy Zoëy.
Twists[]
- Chain: At the marooning, each tribe would be locked in a chain attached to their ankles, and could not leave the chain. The castaways were allowed to leave the chain in episode 2.
- Joint Tribal Council: In Episode 6, both tribes would attend Tribal Council together and collectively vote someone out. Prior to this, an Individual Immunity Challenge was held instead of a tribal Immunity Challenge, with only one person being immune.
- Immunity Coin: For each Immunity Coin played at Tribal Council, one vote cast against the user is negated.
- Semi-final Challenges: At the Final Three, two challenges were held to determine the Final Two, with the winner of each earning their spot at the Final Tribal Council. The person who failed to win any of the challenges would become the final member of the jury.
- Bonus Jury Votes: During the season, additional jury votes were up for grabs. Both Hans and Yin received an extra jury vote at the end of the game.
- Jury Tiebreaker: Due to a tie in the final vote, 100 former Expeditie Robinson contestants were invited to the live reunion show to cast a vote for a winner.
