At the end, there will only be one or one. But it will not be Joana, eliminated from “Koh-Lanta”, at the end of the Council on Tuesday evening. Strong personality, not concealing her anger and sorrows, the young woman leaves TF1’s game with eleven voices against her (out of thirteen possible).
“Wonder Woman”, as Claire nicknamed her, her northern partner, returns for 20 Minutes On his journey in the Philippines.
first of all, how are you? Has the return to France went well?
It’s okay, the return to France was not easy. Mentally, it was not easy to see people again, to hear noise … After “Koh-Lanta”, a little while ago before becoming 100 % yourself.
For you, “Koh-Lanta”, it’s …
A family dream! I have my uncle who had registered in the first edition twenty-five years ago. He had been very far in the cast but, unfortunately, he died and could not participate. Another uncle and also a cousin have registered. Personally, I signed up seven times. Beyond the family dream, I like to test my limits, taste new things, discover people … This is the story of my life.
What did you want to prove yourself?
I wanted to prove that it was possible, and that I did not only have a face. It’s good to say on your sofa “I would have done that, not that, etc. ». For me, there is only “Koh-Lanta” which can make something extreme on television live in France. Everything was conducive to what I had a great adventure.
« “I don’t really tend to have self -confidence, contrary to what you might think, so I never set myself a goal. »» »
Have you set yourself a goal?
No. As long as we are not there, we do not know how we are going to be physically and mentally. And, before you even be there, you must already be taken (laughs). There are still 40,000 people registered! Once there, there are several steps: not to be eliminated during the first council, not to be eliminated on the council of ambassadors … But, I do not tend to have confidence in myself, contrary to what you might think, so I never set myself a goal. I did not say to myself “I’m going to be a war machine”, “I’m going to burst them all to win”. I said to myself more than I was going to give everything, both on the camp and during the tests, while still staying average, so as not to get me out.
-Precisely, haven’t you done too much on the camp?
I told myself that I had to slow down, but I can’t do anything, I can’t take a nap … In everyday life, I don’t expect to be told what I have to do. When I have the ability to do it, I do it. Afterwards, I learned everything on the spot, I did not go to do an adventure course to learn to keep a wood at a humidity close to 100 %… People may not understand my behavior on the camp. With hindsight, I should have done less. But I think it doesn’t matter what I did, from the moment I was doing something, there was a problem.
Because of your personality, you think …
Yes, I was tried even before reunification by many people. Others not, like Jessica who waited before pose a judgment on me. Céline, Gaëlle, Noémie put me in a box, finished! But that’s how it is.
At the time of advice, did you still have a hope of continuing the adventure?
I knew it was cooked, I’m not going to lie. I had 1.5 % hope of getting out (laughs). I was mentally prepared, it was not a surprise.
Have you understood the voting of the ex-blue against you and the naive reaction?
Of course, as long as we told the ex-Blue that we were going to vote against naive, it was the last solution. In addition, we had heard people say that we were going to “throw me under the bus”. We knew very well that the ex-blue would support themselves between them, like the ex-verts or the ex-orange, and like Claire and I, we supported as ex-violets. At this stage of the game, the only person I couldn’t betray was clear. I was disappointed at the time of not going to see naïs, but she would have done the same. Afterwards, we have two strong characters. She was upset, but she would have done the same in my place.
Would you say that you caught the strategy …
Even by designating Naïs, I knew that it was not going to change the votes. In any case, it would have been me. Afterwards, I do not find that I got lost in the strategies because, with Claire, we really stayed with the ex-blue from start to finish. We made the ex-orange believe that we were with them, but it was false, we can see it in the episode. We would have done everything to protect the ex-blue, as long as I and Claire, we were not in danger. At that time, everything is going very quickly. There were too many solutions. With more food, more lucidity … Then, with SIs, we redo the world. It’s the game.
A word on Claire, your favorite of the adventure …
It’s my little sister (laughs). We created a powerful link. On site, we go from everything to nothing quickly. It is inexplicable. I think it’s a link for life.
Do you think, in your opinion, a chance to go to the end?
She has every chance. What scares me is not to be there anymore to cheer her up, to protect her. I always protected it. From now on, she finds herself in the arena, with lots of hyenas, but I think she has something to do. It is a machine, both mentally and physically. She is very discreet, she can go very far, she must be focused on her goal. I can’t wait to see the rest, it promises beautiful things.
