At the start there were twenty of them and tonight only one remained! Frédéric, 34, is the big winner of “Koh-Lanta, the sacred fire”. His name appeared seven times on the bulletins of the final jury, stripped on TF1 this Tuesday evening. He indeed had the voices of Quentin, Nicolas, Clémence, Helena, Gilles, Anne-Sophie and Laura against those of Julie and Esteban for Tania, 23 years old. He thus won 100,000 euros.

This outcome took place after a reunion in Paris for all the adventurers of this season. In the midst of many images retracing the great moments of the edition and testimonials from each other, Denis Brogniart paid tribute to Bertrand-Kamal, as in previous finals. This candidate from “Koh-Lanta, the four lands” was died in September 2020 at only 30 years old, consequences of pancreatic cancer. The opportunity to appeal for donations for research against this disease.

Earlier in the evening, viewers attended the pole test, the last of this 40-day adventure, between Frédéric, Tania and Nicolas. Just before getting down to it, the three final participants in the TF1 game were already delighted to have come this far. Tile on the other hand for Frédéric who injured his foot during the night while walking on something sharp. A certain handicap since it is the part of the body that is the most stressed for the posts on which you have to balance upright, often for several hours. “It’s life that gives me an additional challenge,” he philosophized. Treated by the doctor and decked out in a bandage, he was still able to participate. Just before, the two men, allies since the second day of this edition, assured the camera that they would choose each other in the event of victory. Tania leaned strategically more towards Frédéric.

The posts despite the injury

During a discussion in the preamble with Denis Brogniart, the male duo once again repeated their surprise to find Tania at this stage of the game. It must be said that with two eliminations and 36 ballots in total against her over the various boards, the young woman has come a long way. In another register, Frédéric, emotional, evoked the death of his father, thirteen years earlier, day for day. Tears came to his eyes when he talked about the rest of his family.

Once in place above the water, the trio didn’t waver for the first 30 minutes despite the wind. “I sing in my head, it goes from Queen to Mike Brant”, launched Nicolas. For his part, Frédéric started to yawn! After one hour of testing, the upper surface of the posts (20 x 15 cm) was reduced to a square with sides of 15 cm, then to a rectangle of 10 x 15 cm half an hour later. This last reduction was fatal to Nicolas and, a few seconds later, to Tania. Frédéric, despite his injury, therefore won the ultimate physical confrontation!

“I should have won the posts if I hoped to win Koh-Lanta” analyzed the youngest. However, surprised, Frédéric finally chose to take Tania with him in the final. He explained his purely strategic choice, fearing Nicolas in the face of the other adventurers, claiming to have thought a lot about the question during the static test. “The reasoning I understand, but I do not understand that he did not respect his word”, for his part dropped the loser, disappointed.

A few hours later, Anne-Sophie, Helena, Gilles, Clémence, Esteban, Laura and Quentin were joined to complete the final jury by Julie, last in orientation, and therefore Nicolas. All hailed the good strategic moves of the two finalists throughout their journey. The winners then each wanted to thank the other adventurers who made the game more beautiful. And this is how it ended in the Philippines with a final vote, which delivered its verdict months later for the protagonists and only a few tens of minutes later for the viewers.
