Stupor in Koh-Lanta: The twentieth season of the very popular reality show on TF1 ended on Tuesday, December 14, without winner.
“Tonight, I will not count the” votes of the jury, who have been invalidated, and “no adventurer will be sacred winner of this edition,” announced Denis Brogniard, the presenter of the show.
“Recently, we became aware of the shortcomings in the Code of Honor in the settlement of the game Koh-Lanta (…), we investigated and we found that a small number of adventurers” were managed “to recover food outside the game frame,” he added. This is a “attack on equity between competitors” who “could distort the rules of the game,” said the facilitator again. He called “moderation especially on social networks”.
The organizers decided to pay the entire gain, 100,000 euros, to the Fund for Bertrand-Kamal, named after a former Cancer Dead Candidate in 2020, Funds dedicated to Cancer Research Pancreas and carried by the Arc Foundation for Cancer Research.
The Steak-Fritory business
For twenty years, candidates participating in Koh-Lanta are trying to overcome events on a desert island where they are provided with the vital minimum and must coexist to ensure their survival. The Case of Cherérie had been revealed on November 9th. At the episode broadcast that night, one of the emblematic candidates, Teheiura, had confessed to having obtained food from the outside, including a steak-fries, strictly prohibited by the regulation.
This edition gathered candidates who had already participated in the past. It was turned into Polynesia, from which Teheiura originated, eliminated after his admission. The production of Koh-Lanta has subsequently reported to the justice of death threats aimed at candidates on social networks because of this case. Reports to the Prosecutor of the Republic had been made by the production company of the Emission Adventure Line Production (ALP).
The Parisian newspaper had reported that several candidates had themselves complained. One of them, Coumba, claimed to have been the target of death threats and racist insults on social networks. According to alp, the threats of death are particularly aimed at the teammates of the Polynesian, wrongly accused by anonymous Internet users to have denounced it.
A special issue for the 20 years will take place next Tuesday, while the 2022 edition whose filming has just ended stands in the Philippes, announced Denis Brogniard.
