In “Robinson – Gränslandet” two participants end up in a fight. According to Dennis Boelius, he is broken down and threatened with punches by Zeki Demir – who is forced to leave the competition. On Monday’s episode of “Gränslandet,” the reality series where contestants voted out of Robinson can compete to get back into the competition, there was quite a row. In the episode, one perceives a verbal dispute at the same time as the camera approaches. Dennis is lying on the ground, between him and Zeki is the participant Elin Ambrosiani, holding out his hands. Zeki then extends his hand to Dennis, who does not accept it. – No, it’s only because they came, says Dennis and points to the camera. Afterwards, Dennis tells that he has been broken down and threatened with punches by Zeki. – I don’t understand what happened. I am completely like this, “here I lie”. It probably wouldn’t have mattered what I had said. I think he was determined to just use some threatening tactics to get me off balance, says Dennis Boelius. “Going to beat him” Also the participant Camilla Widing, was on the beach when the fight broke out, she tells about parts of the sequence of events. – Then I turn around and then Zeki is on top of Dennis and is about to hit him… and he is very close and he is very, very angry, she says. Zeki, on the other hand, has a different view of the situation, and believes that he was provoked into acting. – I’m not looking for violence and to hit someone here, but if someone is going to throw crap at me and try to wrestle me down, I have to defend myself, says Zeki Demir. – I have temperament, I am an honest person, I have feelings, and I can react. He provoked me into this. But it looked like this when the team arrived. Forced to leave the competition It will then turn out that Zeki is forced to leave the competition, host Anders Lundin enters the island later in the episode and announces the decision. – It is the case that a participant broke the rules and was forced to cancel, he says. According to Gustav Carlsson, executive producer for “Robinson”, both the staff’s witness statements and an internal investigation could show that Zeki’s actions violated the rules. – There are, of course, rules about behavior in Robinson. If it is about threats or threats of violence, then you must not stay. “Everyone has a responsibility” Just as the viewers perceive it in the program, staff were not present at the very beginning of the sequence of events, but perceived parts of what happened. – I think this shows that we have solid rules. Everyone has a responsibility for their behavior whether you are at home or on a beach. We can only have rules and routines about how we take care of it. says Gustav Carlsson. According to Gustav Carlsson, the production has not considered reporting the incident to the police.
