Second chance and cold revenge: what to remember from episode 12 of “Koh-Lanta: The Cursed Tribe”

Episode 11 of “Koh-Lanta: The Cursed Tribe” ended with a cliffhanger worthy of the best series last Tuesday. Eliminated at the end of the council, the discreet Maxim had dragged Cassandra into his fall since the two candidates had been brought together as a pair during the time of linked destinies. But surprise: during the trailer for episode 12, we discovered that the production was going to give them a chance to return to the adventure. What happened Tuesday evening? This is what you need to remember from a great evening to watch or rewatch in streaming on TF1+.

Ugo is (really) not happy

At the camp, the departure of Maxim and Cassandre has a bitter taste for Ugo. The former captain of the Reds believes that Gustin, aware of the Yellows’ strategy, should have warned his two former teammates that they were in danger. Which would have allowed Maxim to use his immunity collar and save himself to the detriment of Jacques and Cécile. “He is as individualistic as possible.“, deplores the two-time winner of the show about the Swiss lifeguard. “I really want to put his name on a ballot.“An unusual cold anger from the veteran adventurer.

Maxim and Cassandre’s second chance

As the trailer revealed, the two eliminated were “fished out” and sent to the famous island of the cursed tribe. “I thought the story Koh Lanta was over and had a tragic ending“, admits Cassandre, delighted with this blank page that is offered to her. After the discovery of a white Anito, the novelist and the bicycle delivery man face off in a duel, with an unexpected return to adventure at stake. .

To decide between them, the two candidates must bring together 11 pieces of a puzzle forming a wave. A test of logic and concentration that Maxim quickly believes he has won. Convinced of having found the solution, he summons Denis Brogniart but the host shows him that he was wrong. Cassandra was hot. And after going to the edge of the abyss, it is finally she who gets her return ticket. “It’s an incredible second chance“, she admits, in tears. “I will do everything to get compensation“, she adds. Follow her gaze… Maxim joins the final jury without regret.

Charlotte breaks the house

There’s no point in running… you have to perform on point! In retreat until the reunification, on the verge of KO after receiving a log on the head following a clumsiness from Thibault and Gustin, Charlotte has literally transformed herself. By working with Sophia on Frédéric’s surprise departure during episode 10, the Belgian candidate revealed strategic talents that few suspected until now. Tuesday evening, it was in the events that she shone, winning in quick succession comfort with Ilyesse, then immunity in front of Gustin.

“I gained confidence in the tests“, she admits to Denis Brogniart. “As soon as I arrive, I try to make strategies in my head whereas before, I went more in mode you don’t know, you don’t know, you’ll see“. In her portrait, this Thai box fan mediator presents herself as a mix between Pascal the big brother and Super Nanny. In the kingdom of “Koh-Lanta”, she is becoming as formidable as Frédéric and Ugo combined.

Cassandra’s Revenge

Back at the camp, the novelist has a score to settle with Gustin. Why didn’t her ex-red comrade warn her that she was in danger during the last council? The Swiss’s explanations are hardly convincing. Above all, the young woman understands that he feared for his skin. And he did nothing to protect her. She therefore decides to join forces with Ugo to get the lifeguard out. Except that it’s her that the yellows want to get out…

Alliances and strategies springing up from all sides, the council turns out to be more tense than ever. Aware that Cassandra is in danger, Ugo gives her one of his immunity necklaces. His protégé is as surprised as he is touched by this attention which will prove decisive. While Cécile receives two votes, Gustin and Cassandre receive four each. The young woman protected by the collar, it’s the Swiss who comes out!

“You promised me protection“, the novelist reminds him, sobs in her voice. “With destinies linked, you broke the trust I had placed in you. You didn’t even have the courage to tell me, to explain to me. I couldn’t digest your cowardice.” Stunned, Gustin leaves the adventure and joins the final jury. But before leaving, he gives his black vote to Ilyesse, an ex-yellow, confirming that he has definitely changed his mind.
