Robinson 2011 was the fourteenth season of the Swedish version of Survivor and had its premiere on 29 August 2011. Paolo Roberto returned to host this season. Like the previous season, this season didn't have a jury vote to decide the winner. Instead, it was a final challenge where Mats Kemi became the winner against runners-up Ola Ahlgren and Hanna Nygren.
Contestants
The four women who entered later competed in a "tribe leader" challenge, where the winner would be the tribe leader of Kalinga and got to choose one of the other women to join her. The other two who weren't chosen competed for the tribe leadership in Bontoc. After Kalinga won the second Reward Challenge, their tribe leader Denicé went to a Philippine prison where the men were held and got to choose one of the men to join her as a new tribemate. She chose Love. Michaela from Kalinga and Sana from Bontoc were chosen as sacrifices for the fourth Reward Challenge. The winner would be choosing one of the men to join her tribe while the loser would be eliminated. Michaela, who won the challenge, later chose Johan to join Kalinga. The tribe leaders faced off in the fifth Reward Challenge. The winner would get to choose two more men to join her tribe, while the loser would get the men who weren't chosen.
Results Overview
The tribes originally consisted of only women and they had to compete for the opportunity to draft men. Before the tribes were formed, four women quit and one was medically evacuated for a cerebral haemorrhage. Another three quit before the merge, though one was for a legit reason, and another quit after the merge. Because of the high drop-out rate, two tribal councils were declared null and void, allowing two eliminated players to return. When episode 9 began, there had still only been two tribal councils and all in all, there were only six tribal councils in the season. All attempts at serious alliances failed and it became taboo to have such conversations. There were of course agreements between individuals, spoken or not, to never vote for each other. Votes were based on different criteria each tribal council. Before the merge, the criteria was simply strength in challenges. After the merge, three were voted out because they were untrustworthy. One was voted out because she won a challenge. In a mid-season twist, every player from both tribes had to vote for the man and woman they most thought deserved to win the game. The ones with the most votes were Hanna and Mats. Hanna was a likable girl praised for her positive attitude, survival skill, likability and tendency to support everyone. Mats was an older policeman, known for his strong morals, leadership and survival skills. He won a whole pig for his tribe but gave a third of it to the other tribe. Places in the final were decided by competitions starting at the final six. Half a season from the deservability vote, Hanna and Mats won the two final spots. The jury also got to vote in a third finalist and unanimously selected Ola, a man prasied for his humour and constantly positive attitude. The jury also got to penalize players in the final by placing weights on them. Mats got the least weight and he won the final multi-stage obstacle course by a good margin. The Tribal Councilin the beginning of the fifth episode were cancelled. Instead of losing a tribemate, they received a punishment because of Sophie and Hanna S.'s departure.

Voting History

Four eliminated contestants came back to vote someone of the remaining contestants into the finale, alongside Hanna N. and Mats. All of the contestants besides the finalists could vote, and they could only vote for either Louise, Ola or Sigvald.
