Expedición Róbinson (Colombia)

Expedición Róbinson is a Colombian version of the Survivor reality television game show based on the Swedish television series Expedition Robinson originally created in 1992 by Charlie Parsons. The show is based on stranding a group of strangers as one or more tribes in a remote location, where they must fend for food, water, fire, and shelter for themselves, while competing in challenges to earn rewards and immunity from being voted off by the tribe in progressive eliminations; the last challenger remaining at the end of the competition wins two a reward that ranges from two hundred million to three hundred million pesos prize (100-150 hundred thousandUS$) and title of "Colombian Robinson".

Overview

Expedición Róbinson rights were bought by Caracol TV in 2001.[1] This television network produced the first two seasons of Expedition Robinson. Both seasons were hosted by former beauty queen and actress Margarita Rosa de Francisco.[2] Two years later, rights for Expedición Robinson were sold to RCN TV. The series changed its original name to La Isla de los FamoS.O.S. ("Famous People Island", in English), in which all contestants were celebrities of Colombia. RCN TV has produced three seasons of La Isla de los FamoS.O.S. and all three of them have been hosted by journalist Guillermo Prieto "Pirry". For its part, Caracol TV has developed a variation of the show whose name is El desafío 20-0_ (in which the last number represents the year the season has been aired. i.e. Desafío 20-08[3]). So far, five seasons of El Desafío have been aired, three of them hosted by Margarita Rosa de Francisco again.

Expedición Robinson

Expedición Robinson aired two seasons in 2001 and 2002, respectively before being sold. Both seasons were a hit in Colombian audience. These seasons followed the same general format as the Swedish series.

Season 1: Expedición Róbinson

The show's first season was filmed during 2001 and was aired later that year. It was set on Bocas del Toro, off the Caribbean Coast of Panama.[4]

16 Colombians (8 women and 8 men) took part in the first season. The price was 200 million Colombian pesos. Contestants were divided into two initial tribes: Ukups and Atchas, these Kuna words mean "ants" and "bees", respectively. Ukup team was represented by yellow color as Atcha team was represented by orange color.

Thirteen episodes aired weekly on Sundays. Each episode lasted an hour except the season finale which lasted two hours. Besides official episodes, "El Diario Robinson" was aired during every week the show lasted on air. It was a 15 minutes long program in which unseen scenes from each episode were shot.

The show was won by Rolando Patarroyo. He was part of the Atcha tribe, who were outnumbered by the Ukup tribe at tribal merger. He won the 200 million pesos price and was presented as "the first Colombian Robinson". Marlon Restrepo, the runner-up of this season was rewarded with a van.

Elimination notes

Season 2: Expedición Róbinson: el desafío

Expedición Róbinson succeeded and became a hit in the Colombian audience. Caracol TV released a second season the next year, 2002. This time, the show format was changed extensively for the production of numerous 30 minute episodes. Episodes were broadcast from Sunday to Friday, and did not necessarily end with a Tribal Council elimination. Most of elimination episodes happened on Sundays.

This season was called Expedición Robinson: el desafío (desafío means challenge in English) and the chosen location to set the show was Los Haitises National Park, Dominican Republic. Challenges were more difficult than previous season and the contestants were not given any initial supplies, including food, water or matches. Both camps were given merely a water well and a machete, conditions were also extreme because camps were almost completely surrounded by mangroves and it was common both camps were invaded by mosquitos at the sunset.

The price was elevated 225 million Colombian pesos. Contestants were divided into two initial tribes: Mucaro and Kahaya, these Taíno words mean "owl" and "shark", respectively.[5] Mucaro team was represented by red color and Kahaya team was represented by green color.

The show was won by Cristobal Echevarría. He was part of the Mucaro tribe, he made a powerful alliance at the tribal swap. This alliance was known as the Paisa alliance, since all alliance members came from that region of the Country. He won the 225 million pesos price. Camila Puerta, the runner-up, was rewarded with 20 million pesos and an expedition to Australia.
