A few days ago, Ilyesse, revealed in Koh-Lanta on TF1, spoke about the three candidates for the adventure with whom he is still very close today.
It’s a bonding adventure. On Monday August 12, 2024, viewers discovered the 20 candidates for the new season of Koh-Lanta, the cursed tribe. Everyone competes to achieve one ultimate goal: to be the last adventurer in the program. And between reunification, elimination and trials, many friendships and alliances are created over the days between the participants.
“Strangers become family”: Ilyesse (Koh-Lanta) reveals being close to three candidates since the show
And certain links made during the adventure still seem relevant today! Indeed, a few days ago, Michel, the Swiss adventurer, spoke about his relationship with other adventurers during a question-and-answer session organized on his Instagram account. When one of his 9,000 subscribers asked him which candidates he had become friends with, the latter published a photo of himself alongside Gustin, Ilyesse and Thibaut. “These three, but also the others in real life“, he wrote on the photo. An Instagram story that did not go unnoticed by Ilyesse, who instantly shared it on his personal Instagram account: “Strangers become family“, he added.
“Ilyesse amazed me”
It must be said that, if this new season of Koh Lanta will only have one winner, the candidates must work very regularly as a team. In the episode of Tuesday October 29, 2024, the candidates were even placed in pairs after a draw as part of linked destinies. This is how Ilyesse ended up with Ugo, who held the immunity necklace: “It's a mixed pair, but in relation to age we“, Ugo joked before adding: “I'm twenty years older than Ilyesse, we'll see what a fiery young person can do with an older one.”
Subsequently, the two candidates won the test thanks to the advice of Ilyesse: “I must admit that Ilyesse amazed me. I took him for a fiery young man but in fact he was the one who calmed me down during the ordeal.“, Ugo then said. For his part, Ilyesse also returned to his duet with Ugo. “I fell in with Ugo, I know he's a very calm person, so I took his wisdom and I stole a little from him“, he confided.
