The production of Koh-Lanta explains why a candidate was cut during editing in a previous season

Remember, in 2009, a candidate asked not to appear in the season of Koh Lanta titled Palau and broadcast on TF1. Near Tele-Leisureproducer Julien Magne discussed this unique scenario in the history of the game.

Koh-Lanta, The cursed tribe is coming to an end. This Tuesday, November 26 on TF1, the five finalists Thibault, Jacques, Ilyesse, Charlotte and Cécile will take on the dreaded orienteering test, before the winning trio climbs the poles the following week. The two adventurers who emerge victorious will be decided by the final jury made up of candidates eliminated since reunification.. The mechanics of this season hit hard from the start of this season by making it appear that four of them were eliminated from the start of the game. In reality, they were isolated on a hostile island and had to try to escape by competing in duels against those who were already part of the yellow and red tribes.

The candidates of Koh Lanta do they have any recourse to the images before the broadcast of the program?

Asked by Tele-Leisure following the controversy surrounding Lola last August, the producer of the show Julien Magne responded to the question of whether there was a possible appeal on the images before broadcast for candidates. A subject that is all the more relevant in recent seasons, since the adventurers now discover the first episode of the game together in preview at TF1 headquarters. “By engaging in Koh Lantathey know that it is an adventure which is filmed and which will be broadcast afterwards. In more than twenty seasons, we have never had any complaints from adventurers who don’t recognize themselves in the show. and I don’t think that’s the case for Lola“, said the producer.

Julien Magne discusses the case of Joëlle, the missing candidate Koh Lanta Palau (2009)

Juien Magne still mentions a particular case which dates back to 2009 during the season Koh Lanta, Palau with a candidate named Joëlle. “We cut one person out entirely at their request during editing. There had been a big mistake during the selections and it was someone who was very frustrated to be eliminated on the first day of the adventure. But apart from this case, there have been no other requests”he explains. At the time, the one who was a retired teacher told our colleagues to The Independent : “I was sacrificed. I was manipulated. Conditions like that for the Koh Lanta heroes okay, Fear Factor also, but not for the Koh Lanta anonymous people. I was inconsolable.”
