In this first episode of The Island broadcast this Tuesday, January 7 on M6, a candidate emerges as leader of the group among the ten castaways: Julien Cohen. But some of his outings did not please all the participants, especially the women.
The Island returns this Tuesday, January 7 at 9:10 p.m. on M6. In this edition entitled Prison Islandthe castaways are left to fend for themselves on the island of Ko Tarutao, in the southwest of Thailand, a former lair of pirates and prisoners.

The concept has also changed a little. If during the first four editions, you only had to survive the hostile environment, this time, you will have to cross it to hope to leave it. Candidates have ten days to cover ten kilometers.
