In Koh-Lanta, the cursed tribethe test of linked destinies was fatal for the Cassandre-Maxim pair who, last week, left after more than a month of adventure. Against all odds, the two ex-reds are offered a second chance by playing a final duel on the island of the cursed. Cassandre and Maxim compete in a giant puzzle game reconstituting a wave. At the end of the test, it is Maxim who is carried away and thus allows Cassandre to re-enter the game.
Maxim (Koh-Lanta, the cursed tribe) returns to its elimination: “I blame Charlotte, Sophia, Jacques and Gustin“
Tele-Leisure : After your elimination without having used the immunity necklace that you had in your possession, you have a new opportunity to return to the game that you ultimately missed. Is it a great frustration or, conversely, do you feel like you've tried everything?
Maxim : There's no real frustration. First of all, I didn't leave with my necklace, I was able to give it to Ugo. When I am eliminated during the duel with Cassandra, I do not blame myself for having left but rather for having dragged Cassandra with me and I am relieved. This allows me to put my necklace back into play but also to make amends with Cassandre.
When the game comes out, you seem angry with some of the candidates still in the game, especially Sophia and Charlotte…
Yes, I'm talking about revenge but it's only in the game because I have nothing against them personally. I blame the people who eliminated me: Charlotte, Sophia, Jacques and Gustin. Eventually, It's because of Gustin that all this happened. It's him who betrays us while we had the opportunity to be in numerical superiority.
Maxim (Koh-Lanta, the cursed tribe) about Sophia and Charlotte: “They were in a position of strength“
How do you feel today? Are you at peace or still hurt?
I feel good, I no longer have anything in my throat. I have the impression that people really liked the linked fates episode, and it was my goal to have a great season.
What do you think of the roles of the Sophia-Charlotte duo in the adventure?
They found themselves in the right place at the right time, tipping the scales. Charlotte almost came out on the board where Michel was eliminated. After reunification they were able to choose their side: yellow, red to eliminate Frédéric, then yellow again. They had the role of free electron and they were in a position of strength.
Maxim eliminated from Koh-Lanta, the cursed tribe : “It was part of one of my plans to vote for Gustin”
And the Gustin/Cassandre duo?
It was complicated during the pairs because I would have liked to vote against Gustin but he was protected by Cassandre even though he was the one who ultimately did the opposite. In the end, he could have protected her if he had just told Cassandra what the yellows were planning. It allowed her to see what Gustin was capable of, and then she was able to get revenge so that's good (…). Gustin, once he betrayed the ex-reds, there was no going back. He's someone who is so stubborn that you can't change his mind.
Before your arrival in the house of the final jury, all the eliminated people think that it will be Gustin, and it is finally you that they see joining them…
Before the council of linked destinies, I thought it would be obvious that it would be me but it all depended on the pairs. It was part of one of my plans to vote for Gustin but I was unable to come to an agreement with the ex-reds to implement this strategy. If I had succeeded, it could have been him.
