Expedition Robinson

Encyclopedia : E : EX : EXP : Expedition Robinson

---

Expedition: Robinson is a popular Swedish reality television program. It is also shown in many other European countries. In Sweden it was shown for seven seasons on the public broadcaster, and then moved to the commercial TV3 for its 2004 season. It's one of the biggest and most controversial TV successes in Scandinavia. The final episode of the fourth season was viewed by 4,045,000 people in Sweden which makes it one of the most viewed programs in modern TV history.

Overview

Its format was developed by Planet 24, a United Kingdom TV production company owned by Charlie Parsons and Bob Geldof. Their company Castaway Television Productions retained the rights to the concept when they sold Planet 24 in 1999. Mark Burnett then licensed the format to create the U.S. show Survivor in 2000.

Just as in Survivor, sixteen contestants are put into a survival situation and compete in a variety of physical challenges. Early in each season, two teams compete, but later the teams are merged and the competitions become individual. At the end of each show, one contestant is eliminated from the show by the others in a secret "Island Council" ballot.

The name of the show alludes to Robinson Crusoe.

The first series of the programme was subject to some controversy, and contributed to a moral panic in Sweden. The first contestant voted off the show killed himself shortly afterwards, with his family reportedly blaming the rejection he felt as a result of being unpopular with the public.

All of the European nations that hire Strix to produce or co-produce their Survivor TV shows all travel together to the same basic location each year and pool their resources so less has to be duplicated. Each nation of course brings its own separate team of contestants. Filming is done in the Summer and the game are shown in the Fall of that same year. Here is the Strix chart and the nations that joined, and in what year. {| class="wikitable" !Year!!Nation(s)!!Location |- |1997 |Sweden |Malaysia, Johor, off East coast from Mersing, Mensirip/Tengah area |- |1998 |Sweden / Denmark |Malaysia, Borneo, Sabah, Pulau Sipadan area |- |1999 |Sweden / Denmark / Norway / Switzerland |Philippines, Palawan, Cadlao/El Nido area |- |2000 |Sweden / Denmark / Norway / Switzerland / Netherlands & Belgium / Germany & Austria |Malaysia, Johor, off East Coast from Mersing, Mensirip/Tengah area |- |2001 |Sweden / Denmark / Norway / Netherlands & Belgium / Estonia / Latvia / Lithuania |Malaysia, Johor, off East Coast from Mersing, Mensirip/Tengah area |- |2002 |Sweden / Denmark / Norway / Netherlands & Belgium / Estonia / Latvia / Lithuania / Russia |Malaysia, Johor, off East Coast from Mersing, Tengah |- |2003 |Strix recorded ‘Expedition: Robinson’ in Malaysia for seven countries simultaneously.
