Rarely has an arrival at the residence of the final jury of “Koh-Lanta” been so chilling. The episode of “The Cursed Tribe” broadcast this Tuesday, November 12 on TF 1, started with a striking sequence of Gustin, last eliminated, reuniting with his previous playmates. After a tease “You guys are big! », the ex-red who then rallied the ex-yellows to reunification had very harsh words towards the members of his first tribe: “I forgot everything. On the red island in fact, I have no memory, I suffered so much.”
Enough to amaze Sophia and Maud: “But Gus, you’re crazy! the latter exclaimed. How many times did we leave you behind and do everything behind and you arrived looking dapper for the tests? Honestly, don’t overdo it! » The Swiss preferred not to hear anything and the situation is not about to improve.
At the camp, the adventurers still in the running only seemed to regret Gustin’s cooking skills while ensuring that he tended to serve himself larger portions than the others. But very quickly, we had to concentrate on the comfort test to come. This was played as a team, four against four. Designated by drawing lots, captains Cécile and Charlotte chose Ugo, Thibault and Cassandre for the first, Ilyesse, Jacques and Sophia for the second.
The very close confrontation finally turned to the advantage of the second group who were able to experience moments in a Filipino village, learning to harvest rice before enjoying a good dinner and spending the night on a mattress. During the evening, Jacques took advantage of his dancing talents to improvise a choreography with the local children. A nice moment of sharing.
“This victory proves that I am a true adventurer of Koh Lanta »
The next day, the eight candidates met for the immunity game: the star. In this static test, you must remain balanced above the water for as long as possible, leaning on inclined planes on each side of your body. Here, most of the time it is those who stay as still as possible who win. Victory thus seemed destined for Cassandra. But the young woman finally gave in after an hour to Jacques, who had not stopped contorting himself from the start!
“Jacques, I have heard you say so much after an ordeal I’m terrible. Now, what do you want to say? » asked host Denis Brogniart. “That I am incredibly good and that I have a mind of steel! » rejoiced the winner. The participant then spoke of his father who died in a car accident when he himself was only 9 and a half years old: “I spoke with my dad who is in heaven, who looks at me and who must be extremely proud that I I have earned this immunity. » And added some details about his performance: “I had terrible butt cramps, but the mind took over. »
After having often been disappointed with his performances during competitions, Jacques took advantage of this spotlight, adding a little later: “This victory proves that I am a true adventurer of Koh Lanta. Both about survival and hardship. I feel in my place. »
“I’m going to ask you to vote against me”
The next day, voting strategies were on everyone’s minds before the council meeting. Cassandra, still very moved to have been saved by Ugo’s necklace during the previous meeting, struggled to look for another protective jewel to return the favor, in vain. She even started campaigning at her own expense: “Frankly, if you hesitate between me and Ugo, I think I will ask you to vote against me,” the writer told Ilyesse.
In the end, the ex-yellows put a plan in place to protect them in the event of a surprise collar. They split their six votes (five adventurers plus Gustin’s black vote) equally between Ugo and Cassandra. Enough to ensure a tie, even if the other three voted for a common target. What the ex-reds did, targeting Ilyesse. Before the counting, Ugo decided to play with the immunity necklace that he had in his possession for ten days and of which no one knew the existence. A second vote then took place and Cassandre was eliminated with 5 votes to Ilyesse’s three.
