Elimineringen

Elimineringen, literally "the elimination" in Danish, refers to a specific and decisive phase in the Danish version of the TV reality show "Survivor" ("Expedition Robinson"). It is the dramatic, multi-stage process used at the end of each episode to vote a contestant out of the game.

The process begins with an immunity challenge. The winning tribe or individual is safe from the vote and gains power. The losing tribe then attends a tribal council, where members discuss the game and the reasons someone should be voted out. Each member then casts a secret vote for the person they wish to eliminate.

In the event of a tie, a tie-breaker challenge is held between the tied contestants. The loser of this challenge is immediately eliminated. This system ensures that a contestant leaves the show every episode.

The term "elimineringen" has become iconic within Danish popular culture, representing the core mechanic of the show's suspense and social strategy. It encapsulates the blend of physical competition and interpersonal maneuvering that defines the "Survivor" format. The process continues until only a handful of contestants remain, who then face a jury of previously eliminated players to vote for the ultimate winner.
