''Baltic Robinson'' was a popular television show that aired in the Baltic region of Europe from 2000 to 2004 and was the first pan regional edition of '' Robinson'', or ''Survivor'' as it is referred to in some countries. During its five-year (four season) run, the show was hosted by Emil Rutiku for Estonian, Vytautas Kernagis for Lithuanian and Pauls Timrots for Latvian audience.

''Baltic Robinson: 2004'' (also known as ''Jungle Star'') was the fourth version of ''Expedition Robinson'' (known as ''Survivor'' in certain countries) to be filmed and aired in Malaysia. The season aired from 11 September, 2004 until December 18, 2004 and is based upon a format originally devised by the now-defunct British production company, Planet 24. The central premise of the 2004 edition was the sole participation of celebrity contestants. Other changes that were made involved a filming period of 15 days (unlike the 30-day duration of preceding seasons) and the division of the contestants into two "tribes" through the use of a method known as a "schoolyard pick" (when team leaders interchangeably choose from a pool of people in order to form competing teams.) Latvian finalist Dagmāra Legante (13 votes) eventually won the prize of €10 000, prevailing over the Lithuanian representative, Renata Ražnauskiene (7 votes), and the Estonian representative, Koit Toome (6 votes). ...

''Baltic Robinson: 2002'', was the third version of ''Expedition Robinson'', or ''Survivor'' to air in the Baltic region of Europe. This season premiered on October 5, 2002 and aired until December 15, 2002. Like in the first two seasons, the three tribes were divided based on the contestants country of origin.

As there were twelve players in the merge tribe and three finalists, there was a nine-member jury. As each country had to be represented in the final three, contestant Ranno Rätsep became a finalist in episode eight when Maris Valdre, the only other remaining member of the Estonian tribe left in the game, was voted o ...
