This year, in Koh-Lanta, it is not just the totem that is cursed. An adventurer and a team must wonder if someone is not casting a spell on them given the turn of events in the episode broadcast this Tuesday on TF1.
Before detailing what happened, let’s remember where the adventure was since last week, the show had given way to football. We had left the Yellows victorious during the comfort (with the gain of a fishing kit) but also torn following the Council since they had lost immunity. They had then eliminated Stéphanie who, following having shot 3 black balls during the tests, regretted not having been able to prove herself.
On the side of the Reds, hunger was eating away at the bodies, the team not having won the slightest comfort game. Additional concern, Jean-Philippe had been forced to call the doctor. His feet had swollen excessively.
Taken to the hospital for examinations, the unfortunate cannot finally reintegrate the adventure, decision of the doctor. “I initially thought of this as just a sting, but it’s more grace than that”, regrets the candidate. We won’t know more during the show. In an interview with the site The Internet user, he explains that he spent a week in the hospital before being able to return to France where he underwent additional examinations. It was a vitamin B1 deficiency, he told Tele-Leisure. Now everything is back to normal, he adds.
The curse of the black balls
The departure of Jean-Philippe is a blow for the Reds, physically but also morally. He was one of the pillars of the team. The situation, however, benefits Stephanie who, as the last eliminated, rejoins the adventure as required by the rules. So she swaps her yellow scarf for that of the Reds and immediately begins serious things with the game of comfort proposed by Denis Borgniart.
It was without counting on bad luck. The women being more numerous among the Reds than among the Yellows, a draw is organized to designate the one who will not participate in the event. And the curse of the black ball hits Stéphanie a fourth time, though she came back fully pumped up. “I laugh regarding it because I don’t want to cry but it’s a joke. I have no words Dennis. I was disappointed, I was angry, I was beside myself. And there: new chance, new test. In addition a test of balance while I’m a bomb in balance… Well no I can’t show them what I’m worth. It’s madness, madness, madness,” deplores the candidate.
The next day, for the immunity test, she believes in her lucky star. This day is hers, she says. “Today the draw, I feel it very, very well. 17 adventurers remaining, we are at 17 days of adventure, I was born on the 17th. This is my lucky number. Today, everything is for me, everything is aligned. Today is the white one.” But no, the spell had not finished beating down on her. She shoots the black ball once more. This is unheard of ! No one has ever shot the black ball 5 times in the same edition.
Reds in the red
Stephanie’s bad luck almost makes you forget the results of the tests. It was the Yellows who, once once more, won comfort. Hands down, moreover. They were the most skilful in the balance game. They got a hearty meal on a paradise island, with a night worthy of a 5 star.
The Reds, on the other hand, have suffered the curse of the cursed totem. They were exiled to Violets’ former camp that had been abandoned for days.
The next day, during the immunity test, they were on the verge of finishing the puzzle they had to put together when they were capped on the post by the Yellows who had come out of nowhere. It’s morale in the socks that they left for the Council.
losing face poker
Aware of her delicate situation following having spent only one day with the Reds, Stéphanie plotted to save her skin. The poker croupier tried to bluff everyone, not with a fake immunity collar but by trying to put Maxime in trouble. Nothing will do, she collects a unanimous vote once morest her (with the exception of Pauline’s vote once morest herself because of her black bracelet and Stephanie’s vote once morest Maxime) and she leaves the adventure once more. She will never have been able to defend her chances on the events since the constitution of the Red and Yellow teams because of the 5 black balls. Hard hard.
The Reds were therefore losers all along the line this Tuesday evening. We will still remember from this 6th episode, that among the Yellows, Nicolas has found an immunity necklace.
