Next Tuesday, many viewers will be in front of their screens for the launch of the brand new season of Koh Lanta. Who better than Denis Brogniart, emblematic host of the program, to talk about it? This is how he found himself on the set of It’s up to you this Thursday, February 17. Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine has not taken tweezers to discuss the angry subject: the cheating of certain adventurers during the last season. Is Denis Brogniart still affected by the situation? He didn’t hesitate to answer: “It’s not that I blame them, but there was a form of disappointment in me, in all the members of the production, because we weren’t expecting it, because we were surprised! One of the cheats, we detected it on the spot, the other, it was after.”
Even if the facts are there and are regrettable, Hortense’s husband keeps his feet on the ground and puts things into perspective: “You have to be right. On a world scale, it’s not much. On the scale of a game like Koh Lantait’s a form of cheating and what mattered to me was that we could, at one time or another, ensure the fairness of the game and take the necessary sanctions and decisions.” It is for this reason that at the time, the production had taken the decision not to designate a winner during the final in Paris: “The last vote has not been taken […] and the 100,000 euros were donated to the foundation for Bertrand-Kamal for pancreatic cancer research.”
With the arrival of a next season, Denis Brogniart only wants one thing: “Let’s move on to something else.“Under a touch of humor to conclude this bad chapter, the 54-year-old host shared a detail and not the least:”What I can already tell you is that there is no cheating in the season which arrives on Tuesday!“If cheating will therefore not be part of this year, another controversy is already causing trouble. François, one of the candidates, is indicted for manslaughter. A debate also agitated the media: should he be cut during the editing?The production has finally decided and left François in the final rendering which already promises to be explosive.
