Wednesday December 4, in TPMP, the columnists gave their (very) clear opinion on Koh Lanta. According to Gilles Verdez and Jean-Michel Maire, the TF1 adventure show no longer exists.
Touche pas à mon poste will end in February 2024. In the meantime, the TPMP teams intend to continue to give their opinion on almost all subjects. So, every day, on the C8 set, Polska, Gilles Verdez, Jean-Michel Maire, Isabelle Morini Bosc and the others debrief political, celebrity and cultural news in a sometimes acerbic tone.
Wednesday December 4, during the sequence The 5 images of the day, Cyril Hanouna addressed the final of Koh Lanta broadcast on Tuesday December 3 on TF1. A little envious, Jean-Michel Maire spoke of Denis Brogniart as a privileged person who had landed a “hell of a job”.
“He goes twice a month and a half a year to great hotels on the water's edge to eat lobsters, everything is formatted, written, there is nothing to do, it's a golden job frankly he has! »
Jean-Michel Maire on Koh Lanta: “No, but frankly, it’s not what it used to be!”
A few minutes later, the 63-year-old former sports journalist added more. “No, but frankly, it’s not what it used to be!” Before, the candidates lost weight, they slept on the floor, whereas now, frankly, they are peaceful, like that, in their hammocks, They don't lose weight, and there are some who even gain weight! » he pointed out, definitely very upset.
Unable to stop, he continued his criticism:
“What I find annoying is that the show has been running for twenty years, and some people arrive and still don't know how to make a fire or use a compass, even though, damn! »
Gilles Verdez in turn spoke about the adventure show which broadcast its 33rd this yearth
saison (including 8 special editions). And neither his opinion nor that of Cyril Hanouna was more favorable.
Should we stop programming Koh Lanta?
“We have to stop, there, a little, Koh Lanta, even I don’t look anymore”launched the C8 troublemaker. “Even the most loyal, like me, who have never missed an episode,
are disappointed. There, frankly, I watched out of loyalty to the name but not for this season”confirmed Gilles Verdez.
What did he think was wrong? “The candidates were a little cheesy, we are fed up, the tests are failed, we would have to let the brand rest now, for a year, which is not going to be the case. But here, there is a real need, because there is definitely some wear and tear,
Frankly ! » he judged, severely. Speaking again, Jean-Michel Maire suggested an idea: create an amusement park with Koh Lanta events, where everyone could try their hand at orienteering games, poles, etc. A draft that the presenter of the show did not comment on.
