An episode, three starts … Fans of “Koh-Lanta, the revenge of the 4 lands” were served in terms of twists and turns this Tuesday evening on TF1. After the medical abandonment of Frédéric then the direct elimination of Jessica following the archery test, it was Louise, the Iséroise, who was turned off his torch after the council of the reunified tribe.
Very efficient on the individual tests – whose obstacle course, which she won -, the 24 -year -old woman paid the price for a strategic error: that of having agreed to eliminate Maxime, her teammate of the East Green Team, during the meeting of the ambassadors. Back in the adventure to replace Frédéric, Maxime took revenge immediately by turning against her. Louise answered our questions.
Have you been surprised by your elimination?
I admit that naively, I thought that Maxime would keep its original color, despite the betrayal [des Ambassadeurs]. I also thought I had the violets [Claire et Joanna] With us since they had told us to be our allies. I fell a little high but I could have expected it because after reflection, it may seem logical.
How did you experience this departure?
It is always a shock, especially when you are not too prepared. At the time it’s hard to swallow. Afterwards, I do not want to Maxime in no way. It’s like that, we should have taken the time to chat before and put it all flat. I think it would have changed a lot. I can only take it to myself.
Do you understand his choice?
I understand it, of course. Afterwards, I paid a little instead of all those who wanted to see him leave, like Pierre-Marie, in particular, who was also with me and at the initiative of this decision.
With hindsight, do you regret having eliminated Maxime at ambassadors?
I regretted it from the moment I saw it. I gave way too quickly. I think someone else would have given in to me if I had waited. My two greatest regrets will be this decision and not having spoken with Max on his return to the camp to debrief.
Has a development between him and was you necessary after the adventure?
Yes, of course, we talked about it. Now we don’t talk about it at all, there is really no resentment, nor on my side, nor the own. We get along very well.
After your elimination, your teammate Gaëlle considered that Maxime should have taken responsibility by going to defend himself to the ambassadors. Do you share this point of view?
Maxime has not mentioned the desire to go there or draw lots at all to decide who the two would go. I could also have mentioned it knowing that I also did not especially want to go. And I could also have defended myself very well properly. It is simply at that time of the adventure, I was not already very mentally, a little weakened, so I was not ready to take on this role. This is what Gaëlle meant, especially the fact that Maxime did not show the desire to go there at all.
Beyond these settlement of accounts, were you not also a threat to others, because of your incredible performance on individual tests?
It is certain that when you arrive at this stage of the adventure, you must quickly drop the forts, in quotes, because I don’t like to say that, before arriving a little too far. You can actually be dangerous on the tests and it necessarily scares. I think there is a little bit of that too, it suited everyone that I go at that time.
When you are efficient, it is therefore your interest in reducing the sail so as not to scare others?
It would be a strategic vision and it is very good too. Afterwards, I was a little left with the aim of winning individual trials, I really wanted to know these sensations. I did not want to live a “koh-Lanta” of strategy, I really wanted to live it thoroughly, with sport, survival, give everything and have no regret in relation to that.
You excel in archery and yet you missed this test. Has it been difficult to take?
Yes, because in more Denis Brogniart announces before the test that if I earn it, it is the first time in “Koh-Lanta” that a woman has won the first three individual tests. And then I had already talked about archery when we discussed our passions with other adventurers, I shouldn’t have done it … I stuck an Archère label a little and even if it has nothing to do with archery that I usually do, it is still the same difficulty. Suddenly I put myself pressure, I was not at all concentrated … It cost me, quite simply.
What was the most difficult aspect to live for you in “Koh-Lanta”?
At first, the purely practical aspect: weather. Humidity, H24 rain … it still hits the mind. And afterwards, the strategy is not for me. I’m really zero. It was complicated to live too.
It feels like your Green Team Passage to the Yellow Team was also very difficult for you …
It was horrible. Among the Greens, we were a little outside everything, we were really in tune, even if it was sometimes necessary to eliminate members of our team. But it was going very well, we laughed, there was really not a single ounce of strategy or anticipation compared to the future. Mentally, I was not at all prepared for this remixing of teams, it was a little brutal, especially since it was done on my camp. There were all these people, you had to relearn to know everyone, resociating, I had lost my friends Gaëlle and Céline … it put me a big hit. All this part with the yellow team was a little descent into hell, until reunification.
Have you learned things about you in this adventure?
I learned that I was very emotional. I know that I am a sensitive person, whom I can quickly marvel. But cry so much, especially in the middle of the test, I admit that I surprised myself. Even my loved ones told me that I was not recognized, that it was not me. This part of the show was a bit difficult to watch, it was not a pleasure at all. Otherwise, I learned that I could resist incredible things, as hungry, in the long term, and that physically, I could still have resources with nothing in the flop. I discovered that I was more resistant than many people.
