There is no small victory for the castaways of “Koh-Lanta”. Even less so during this season, during which some of them (the four least successful in the first event) were immersed on the cursed island to prove themselves. Abandoned to their sad fate on this inhospitable beach, “where conditions are terrible” According to Ilyesse, the unfortunate candidates must try to get out by finding a talisman and then winning a duel against another adventurer. A double mission successfully accomplished by the 23-year-old engineering student, who was able to reintegrate the so-called “normal” game.
Plunged into nothingness, the castaways of the cursed island suffer from hunger
In the third episode, broadcast on Tuesday, September 3, it was Mélissa who got her hands on this white Anito in the riverbed, giving herself a chance to win back one of the two tribes. But the strong-willed Varoise failed in her confrontation with Ilyesse and was well on her way to once again brooding over her camp. “I won’t give up. Even if I have to finish my Koh-Lanta on this island, I’ll stay until the end.”she promised, quickly won over by a nice consolation prize. Denis Brogniart offered her and her three friends (Emmanuelle, Nathanaël and Vanessa) 500 grams of rice and eight matches to (finally) make a fire.
Denis Brogniart generous…but not on his own initiative
But this offering was not decided by the presenter, who instead accepted the request of the one who was dying of hunger. Because, as Melissa indicates on her Instagram page, it was she who begged the referee of her duel to give her food. “What we don’t know in this episode is that I was the one who asked Denis for the fire. No matter what the outcome of the game was at that point, I wanted one of us to leave with it. As a result, Denis accepts and even offers us rice!”revealed the woman who was celebrating her 35th birthday that day.
