Robinson: Revanschen is the fifteenth season of Expedition Robinson.
Mirre Hammarling defeated Robban Andersson in a 3-0 jury vote to become the Sole Survivor.
Twists[]
- All-Returnee Cast: This season's cast was comprised of fourteen former contestants who had never won the game.
- The Other Side: The Other Side returned after having an absence of eight seasons, last being seen in Expedition Robinson 2002. The castaways who had been eliminated through challenges were sent there, with the exception of Beatrice Karlsson and Micha Berendji, who entered the game as jokers and started their game there. On Day 11, all the inhabitants of The Other Side would attend a Tribal Council and vote someone out of the game permanently. The Other Side would be disbanded the day after, on Day 12, and all the inhabitants entered or returned to the main game.
- Day 1 Elimination: The nine castaways who were not part of the three castaways who had spent the longest combined number of days nor part of the two castaways who had spent the shortest combined number of days competing on their previous seasons took part in an endurance challenge. They had to use footholds and their hands to support themselves on a wooden frame above a pool of water. The first castaway to fall would be eliminated and sent to The Other Side. Hjalmtyr Daregård was eliminated and sent to The Other Side.
- Extra Votes: Since Robban Andersson, Mirre Hammarling and Leif Svensson had spent the longest combined number of days competing on their previous seasons out of all the cast members, they were dropped off on a separate island. There, they all received an Extra Vote after following a path leading them to a chest containing them. The Extra Vote could only be played at the very first Tribal Council that each castaway attended. Robban and Mirre both used their extra votes at their first Tribal Council, but Leif never used his, and it expired on Day 6 after Guntao had been sent to Tribal Council.
- Schoolyard Pick: On Day 2, Robban, Mirre and Leif took part in a challenge to determine who would become tribe leaders for each of the two tribes. The last-placing castaway would be eliminated and sent to The Other Side. Leif won the challenge, becoming the tribe leader for Guntao and getting to pick whom he wanted to join his tribe first in a Schoolyard Pick. Robban placed second, becoming the tribe leader for Tigas. Mirre placed last and was eliminated from the main game. She was sent to The Other Side.
- Jokers: On Day 5, Beatrice and Micha entered the game as jokers. Due to them having the fewest combined number of days competing on their previous seasons out of all the cast members, they both started their game on The Other Side.
- Duel: On Day 9, Sophie Uppvik and Sanna Benjaminsson both placed last in the Immunity Challenge and were forced to compete in a duel. The loser would be permanently eliminated, whilst the winner would return to the game. Sanna won the duel, permanently eliminating Sophie from the game.
- Tribe Switch: On Day 11, host Paulo Roberto showed up at the tribes' beaches, ordering them to pick their weakest player unanimously on the spot. Guntao picked Johnny Leinonen, and Tigas picked Deniz Özen. On Day 12, during the Reward Challenge, Paulo ordered Deniz and Johnny to switch tribes, making Johnny a member of Tigas and Deniz a member of Guntao.
- Tribe Leaders: On Day 14, two former winners, Martin Melin and Mats Kemi, entered the game temporarily as tribe leaders. Before entering, Martin and Mats took part in a duel to determine which of the two tribes each would lead. Martin won the duel and became Tigas' tribe leader, meaning Mats became Guntao's tribe leader. They would later be dismissed from the game on Day 17 after that day's Tribal Council.
- Duel: On Day 16, the tribe leaders, Martin and Mats, both picked one castaway from their tribe to duel someone from the opposing tribe. Mats picked Leif, and Martin picked Micha. Leif won the duel, however, Paulo gave Micha's tribemates the offer of spending the night caged in a box. If one person agreed, he would remain in the game. Martin accepted Paulo's offer, and Micha remained in the game. On Day 20, both tribes were responsible for picking one castaway to duel someone from the opposing tribe, with the loser being permanently eliminated. Once again, Tigas chose Micha, and Guntao chose Leif. Leif won the duel, eliminating Micha from the game.
- Advantage Giver: On Day 26, Zübeyde Simsek entered the game with the goal of giving a castaway of her choice an advantage. The following day, after she had given away her advantage, Zübeyde was dismissed from the game. She chose to give her advantage to Anna Lundh. The advantage applied to the subsequent Immunity Challenge, reducing Anna's weight to carry. The removed weight would then be added to another castaway's weight, making the challenge more difficult for them.
- Sudden Death Duel: On Day 29, as they finished in joint last in the Immunity Challenge, Mia Laaksonen and Mirre were forced to take part in a duel, with the loser being permanently eliminated from the game. Mirre won the duel, eliminating Mia.
- Semi-Finals: At the final four, the castaways competed in a challenge in which the winner would advance directly to the Final Two, and the last-place finisher would be eliminated. The remaining two castaways would compete in another challenge to determine the second finalist. In the first challenge, Mirre won immunity, and Susanne Rittedal Söderblom was eliminated. In the second challenge, Robban won immunity, eliminating Anna.
- Jury: The castaways eliminated following the merge, except Leif, were welcomed back as part of the jury to decide which of Mirre and Robban would become the Sole Survivor. On Day 35, each finalist called up one jury member at a time and had them choose which finalist they wanted to win by cutting the opposing finalist's rope. For example, Beatrice, Mia and Susanne decided to cut Robban's rope, declaring Mirre the Sole Survivor in a 3-0 vote. As a result of this format, Sanna and Anna could not cast a vote at the Final Tribal Council, as the winner had already been decided.

| Notes:
^1 Leif, Mirre and Robban were each given a necklace on Day 1 which represented an advantage to vote twice at their first Tribal Council. Leif never used his advantage, while Mirre and Robban used theirs.
^2 For being the tribe leader of Guntao during his cameo stint, Mats was able to cast a vote during the third Tribal Council. ^3 As the finalists only needed to get first to three to win, Anna and Sanna's votes weren't necessary. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Trivia[]
- This season featured the fewest castaways of any season of Expedition Robinson, with 14.
- Revanschen is the first, and so far only season of Expedition Robinson to include an all-returnee cast.
- Due to the unique format of this season's jury, this season's jury is notable for two main reasons:
- This is the only jury in the Survivor franchise to be comprised entirely of women.
- This is the smallest jury in the Survivor franchise, comprising just three members. Additionally, Anna and Sanna are not classified as jury members because they could not vote at the Final Tribal Council.
