“It’s not the best who won”, viewers very disappointed by the final verdict

Continuation and end. Launched at the end of summer, the 26th season of Koh Lanta ended in applause on the set of TF1 on Tuesday December 3, in the presence of the participants including the members of the final jury composed, among others, of Ugo, already winner of a previous edition and eliminated at the gates of the orienteering race. Many viewers had already expressed their disappointment following his departure from the white camp, and others had even announced that they would not follow the following episodes given his absence. These are Ilyesse, Charlotte et Thibault who had won this event, just as legendary as the poles, on which all three climbed.

The faithful of Koh Lanta unsurprisingly shared their opinion on social networks as soon as the first images were broadcast on the first channel, shortly after 9 p.m. And it was the name of Ilyesse that stood out. The young Ile-de-France resident still studying seemed to win all the votes. However, it was not the viewers who voted, but rather the adventurers who stayed the longest on the Philippine islands where the filming took place. They regret it!

A differently appreciated finale

Indeed, Charlotte won on the posts and decided to embark Thibault in the finalhimself having arrived second since Ilyesse had fallen first from his post. The organic chicken breeder received a maximum of votes at the end of the counting, namely nine to four, which allowed him to win Koh Lanta, the cursed tribein addition to check for 100,000 euros promised by the production to the winner. On “Ilyesse, I would have loved to see you win”, “The winner in our hearts”, “Congratulations for your journey Ilyesse, you are the GOAT in this adventure” or “Ilyesse the real people’s winner of this season” et “I would love to see you again in another season”we can note on the social network.

For others, this final of Koh Lanta had no flavor. “What a horror this entire episode dedicated to 3 candidates on poles. Nothing mythical, NOTHING happens. The finale is cut into 2 evenings, in a scandalous manner, to gorge itself on advertisements one more evening. Nausea, I'm so annoyed“we also read. We talked about a final “without salt” in “pepper”and we emphasize that “the last winners of Beijing Express et Koh Lanta“ are “null”. “I hope it will be different for The best pastry chef and the Star Ac“stipulates an Internet user, mentioning two other programs currently broadcast on TF1 et M6respectively.

The emotion of Denis Brogniart before returning the antenna

The other highlight of the evening is undoubtedly thetribute that Denis Brogniart wanted to pay to one of his old friends which died out recently. The star host who remains relatively discreet about his private life and his role as a father declared before going on air: “We all have a very moving thought this evening for Stéphane Rauch, nicknamed The Colonel”. He clarified that “he was a cameraman for over twenty years on Koh Lanta“ : “He left us and he was present during that season”he continued, before concluding: “Stéphane, this final is for you”.

Denis Brogniart had already expressed his pain in October, on the 19th to be precise. “Stéphane Rauch left us yesterday. He was a precious traveling companion. We understood each other with a glance, we shared the same passion for this program”he specified, he who has hosted the entertainment that has become cult since 2001, in addition to collaborating on other shows like The Mag et Ninja Warrior: The Hero's Journey.
