9. Kimmylien Nguyen
If anyone in the past season of Special Forces VIPS stole the show, it was Maria Tailor. With her perseverance and enormous willpower she managed to keep it up almost to the end, to everyone’s surprise. I should be able to do that too, she should The Real Housewives of Amsterdam-colleague Kimmylien Nguyen have thought. She will do everything she can to please the fans of Expedition Robinson to convince of her qualities.

11. Julie Reinders
Someone who dares to go survival and test how well she can live with little food and a lot of physical challenge, is Julie Reinders. She is a fashion entrepreneur and fashion designer and is normally often mentioned in the same breath as her twin sister Marie. The two are inseparable, so that makes this expedition a bit more difficult for Julie.

16. Farja Farvardin
A few years ago, Farja Farvardin was a forerunner of Yvonne Coldeweijer and brought celebrity gossip on his own Instagram. Now he surrounds himself with those same stars, because this ‘king of reality’ is the sixteenth participant of the upcoming season of Expedition Robinson. “I couldn’t cook, I couldn’t build anything and I wasn’t very good at games either,” this dream candidate tells RTL Boulevard. “I’m not the type to put on a desert island. Really not.”

17. Joy van Swieten
Someone who may be more like that is Joy van Swieten. You may know him from the last season of B&B Vol Liefde, in which he found love with Dani. And that was also his stumbling block. “I had the hardest time missing home. Especially because I don’t have contact with my girlfriend,” said the reality star at Boulevard. “You’re just thinking and worrying.”
