The sacred fire talisman has finally been used for something! It was not until the seventh episode of the current edition of “Koh-Lanta” on TF 1, that the novelty imagined by the production had an effect during the elimination board. On paper, this protective object was full of promise, but on screen, the weeks went by without it influencing the outcome of each vote. Something to disappoint fans of twists and turns.
This Tuesday, April 4, the suspense lasted until the last minute. Rudy, a former red freshly landed with the yellows, after Martin’s medical abandonment, was he going to manage to save himself? Or was Gilles going to play his talisman to protect Tania, collateral victim of the former’s bluff?
“Koh-Lanta, this is not a hotel”
As soon as the former red arrived on the yellow camp, the latter felt the stress rising. They knew the strategist and player side of the subway driver and feared it, they who benefited from a very good understanding in their tribe. “The less I talk to him, the better,” Grace said. Moreover, Rudy felt that he was not in the odor of holiness in his new team and that it was better to lay low: “I will show what I am worth without bringing it back. »
Once the comfort test was won, the survivor was able to enjoy a good feast with his adopted tribe. Everything was going smoothly, but wanting to be one step ahead, Rudy began to survey the island in search of an immunity collar in case of advice. Spending his time in the forest, he did not participate in the collective tasks of the yellow camp, thus annoying his comrades. “Koh-Lanta, it’s not a hotel”, reproached Nicolas, considering that Rudy was content to put his feet under the table at mealtimes.
The ex-red’s efforts paid off when he found a strategic weapon, allowing him to hijack a council vote. However, the forties was well aware that this would not be enough to save his skin. So when the yellows lost the immunity test, which condemned him to elimination, he set up an incredible scenario to turn the heads of his executioners.
A semblance of a necklace made with shells decorating the trunk of the camp
He gathered the whole tribe on the beach and brandished two bamboo cases. The first containing the weapon he had just unearthed, and a second he had found previously on the island of the reds and now empty. Claiming to want to be transparent with the other adventurers, he revealed to them the message detailing the operation of the “hijacking”. He then assured that the second holster contained a clue indicating the location of an immunity collar, which he obviously could not reveal.
All of the yellows believed in it immediately, displaying defeated faces. If Rudy finds the famous jewel, then they should eliminate someone else. They therefore hastened to stick to the coattails of the strategist. Anticipating the blow, the latter made himself a semblance of a necklace thanks to shells decorating the trunk of the camp. Enough to deceive when he pretended to find the sesame, brandishing it furtively in front of Nicolas before running to reach the beach.
Some have expressed doubts, but to ensure the blow, the yellows have decided to share their ballots between Rudy and Tania. This could have been fatal to the youngest, who received four votes against her, facing only three for Rudy. When Denis Brogniart asked if anyone had an immunity collar, the former red remained silent. Gilles then took advantage of his sacred fire talisman to protect Tania, who escaped elimination. Ousted for the second time, Rudy will at least have had the merit of having signed one of the most memorable bluffs in the history of “Koh-Lanta”.
