In episode 6 of Koh-Lanta, The cursed tribe broadcast on Tuesday October 24 on TF1, Mélissa was eliminated when she was thinking of making Frédéric leave. On Instagram, the winner of the 2023 season went behind the scenes of this fool’s act.
Before the reunification broadcast this Tuesday, October 1 on TF1, the yellow adventurers of Koh-Lanta, The cursed tribe had to face their last tribal council. And the least we can say is that it was eventful! Earlier in the day, Mélissa thought she was hatching a plan worthy of the greatest strategists: in secret, she intended to eliminate Frédériccaptain of his team and winner of the season of Sacred Fire. On paper, everything seemed to work but against Denis Brogniart, the house of cards collapsed. Mélissa was ousted with 6 votes against her, and only one against Frédéric. “Oh everyone voted against me? The stab…“reacted the candidate.
“She had her little character” : Frédéric (Koh-Lanta, The cursed tribe) looks back on his cohabitation with Mélissa
In a video published on his Instagram account, Frédéric returned to the turnaround of this episode. He explains what the editing of the show did not show, namely how Mélissa’s plan backfired on her. “It was Charlotte who informed me of Mélissa’s strategy just after a discussion with her. We then discussed it with the whole team and agreed to release it simply because she was the last arrival among the Yellows and she had her own little character. We decided to make her believe in her strategy so that she would spend as little time in the forest looking for a necklace, which would have been much more complicated for us to manage.“, he testifies.
“There was a price on his head” : Frédéric (Koh-Lanta 2024) speaks out about Mélissa’s elimination
In this same publication, Frédéric assures that he understands Mélissa’s strategy who intended to eliminate him. “She played really well actually. It wasn’t easy for her, she had arrived with the Yellows very recently so obviously there was a price on her head. She tried and I think that with a little more roundness, it might have worked.“, he imagines. “Mélissa has her little character and with hindsight, I can understand her reaction. It’s not easy, she believed strongly in her strategy, she really thought it was going to work so she fell from a very high place. At the time, we were all stunned but I can understand“, concludes Frédéric. We feel that water has flowed under the bridges since this thunderous release.
