Season summary
Robinson Karibien took place at the Samaná peninsula in the Dominican Republic and therefore were several elements that alluded to Caribbean phenomenon, especially voodoo. The tribe names was inspired from the loa spirits of the Voodoo religion practiced in Haiti - Agwé, Brise, Guédé and Papa Legba. Also in several of the Reward and Immunity Challenges, various symbols associated with voodoo were used, including needles in voodoo dolls during the Tribal Councils - "voodoo curses".
The eighteen contestants were initially divided into two tribes, one for the men (Agwe) and one for the women (Brise). During episode 2, the tribes were mixed so each team consisted of four men and four women. Three contestants (Susanne, Angelica and Ewa) left the competition due to hunger, illness and personal reasons. Five contestants (Jonny, Tienne, Simon, Liliana and Sofia) were voted off in Tribal Councils.
When it was time for the merge into the Legba tribe, Agwe consisted of Anders, Mats and Jimmy and Brise consisted of Fredrik, Hans, Johan, Mikko, Suzanna and Veronica, while the voted out person Annika went to the new and secret tribe Ghede, where the voted off went to. When it was only four contestants in Legba, they competed against Ghede in a Reward Challenge, where Ghede were victorious. The contestants in Ghede were told they would have a challenge between them, where the winner would come back into Legba. Hans took the final place and went on competing against Jimmy, Suzanna and Anders. Hans and Jimmy went to the finals, there the other contestants voted on which of the two who would win Robinson Karibien. Hans won with five votes against Jimmy's three.
