Food is his thing. A great athlete and big man, Gustin suffered enormously from hunger in this “Koh-Lanta: The Cursed Tribe”. “I won't do it again, I suffered too much from hunger“, he confided to Puremédias. A survival expert and outstanding cook, he managed to concoct tasty meals with the few meager ingredients at his disposal. Better still, he amazed his fellow adventurers by succeeding in making salt by leaving sea water on the fire But his tendency to complain about hunger and his obsession with food also had the gift of annoying some ex-teammates.
“You’re just a kid who doesn’t actually get what he wants.”
Starting with Sarah, whom he found in the final jury's house this Tuesday, November 12, after being eliminated last week. “When I see Gustin I tell myself that it’s deserved. Finally everyone opens their eyes to what they are and what they have done, so so much the better“, she confides in front of the camera. The reason for their quarrel is still the management of the rice shares in the red camp. So much so that the adventurer, having rallied the yellows for the sole purpose to oust Sarah, he felt that his “mission“had been accomplished in the adventure when it was released. The mission in question?”Eliminate Sarah”.
“So you were closer to the yellows than to the ex-reds?“, asks Maud, Sarah's partner, during the final jury's debrief at home. “I didn't like cohabitation… I took full advantage of my adventure with the yellows, it was really great times. On the red island in fact I really have no memories because I suffered so much“, he explains, to the great dismay of the two ex-red friends. “Honestly, you're fooling yourself! How many times we let you get stuck, and we did everything, and you arrived looking dapper on the tests“, Maud retorted. “I don't have the right to be bad?“, annoys the ex-swimming instructor. “Sarah, I really wanted to eliminate you“, he admits without problem. “You're just a kid who doesn't get what he wants.”Sarah replies. “And when we oppose you, you lose control“.
“He put it on the plate and flattened it thoroughly”
On the reunited camp, the remaining adventurers seem rather relieved at the departure of the “Swiss giant“, who according to them multiplied the stratagems to eat a little more than his co-adventurers. “Did you see that he made bowls twice as big as everyone else?“, smiles Cécile. “He put it on the plate and flattened it thoroughly, then he put it back on top.” adds Charlotte. Cassandre, for his part, says that he claimed that a coconut was expired in order to drink its juice on its own. “He laughed and said ‘ah you burned me’“, she confides.

Jacques then recounts how, in a scene this time captured by the cameras in last week's episode, Gustin offered to drink coconut water together and in secret, under the pretext of sharing a moment together. “It's true that he always tended to want to serve himself first, because he was the one serving“, confides Jacques to Puremédias. “He cooked so well and we were so hungry that I never said to myself 'my god he's cheating, that's not nice'. But it's true that it was also 'me and my comfort' for him Watching the episodes, I'm not shocked to see that ultimately, we all say the same thing.“
“Gustin had such an individual character that nothing surprised me anymore. And there, this morning, tongues loosened a little“, Ugo analyzes in front of the camera. “I think the fact that he loved cooking also meant that he loved snacking all day and not moving around the camp too much.”he adds. “Apparently he cheated a little on the food“, comments Thibault, annoyed by the comments about his recent friend and ally. “I didn't notice it. The girls and Jacques talk a little too much sometimes“.
“We blew it up just before I left”
In any case, Gustin makes no secret of having taken a few extra portions of food. “I don't know if you caught it, but the day I got eliminated, we ran out of rice!”, he revealed with a laugh in a video on social media after his elimination. “Ihad calculated exactly. I knew I was going to get eliminated, and so we blew it up just before I left. It was very funny. I left them in a bit of a mess. What will become of them? They no longer have to cook, no more rice”, he still laughs.
But it must be said that the food, or rather the lack of it, was not far from making the candidate give up. “When Denis Brogniart extinguished my flame, I was just thinking about eating!” he admitted in an interview with our colleagues at “TV Mag”. “I wasn't even sad or disappointed because I expected to be eliminated at this point in the adventure. I had alienated a lot of people, it seemed complicated to go further without having real allies. I accepted my fate. When Cassandre spoke to me, I was only thinking about the next meal I was going to have !”.
