His team, the Slangen, is currently facing low scores and will likely miss the knockout stage.
Prior to this decision, viewers observed Robert struggling with the isolated lifestyle.
On May 18, 2026, he woke up fellow contestants with aggressive behavior during a severe emotional breakdown.
"I ga het wel missen," said Robert, expressing mixed feelings about leaving the group.
He noted that while he had the stamina to play for several more months, the daily environment had exhausted him.
This exit also concludes the journey for his former partner, Roxy. Robert stated they would not remain in the competition without each other.

Het is wel goed voor mij om weer naar huis te gaan," admitted Robert, regarding his physical and mental state.
His departure follows public backlash over his recent behavior.
RTL reported that Robert previously received a yellow card from producers after a violent outburst, though many viewers demanded an immediate red card disqualification.
Internal tensions escalated when Robert suggested begging rival teams for points to avoid deprivation.
Fellow contestant Casper opposed the strategy, arguing that the Haaien alliance would never share resources.
