Maxime Meiland is set to compete in the new season of Expeditie Robinson, having applied once her exclusive contract with Talpa ended. The reality star cited her competitive personality as her primary motivation for joining the show, despite her parents' concerns about the difficult living conditions.

Reality star Maxime Meiland has joined the cast of the survival reality series Expeditie Robinson. Previously unable to participate due to her long-term contract with Talpa, Meiland decided to apply after the conclusion of her family's long-running series on SBS6. Driven by a highly competitive nature, she is eager to take on the challenge, despite initial skepticism from her parents, Martien and Erica, who questioned her desire to endure harsh conditions without luxuries like wine or social comforts. To keep her participation a secret, Meiland simply told others she was working on a project that required confidentiality. The upcoming season of Expeditie Robinson features a mix of Dutch and Belgian celebrities, including athletes and singers. The program is scheduled to premiere on RTL 4 on November 1, with episodes also available for streaming on Videoland beginning the following day.
