20 years of adventure is worth celebrating! ALP and TF1 thus offer Koh-Lanta, The Legend, the All Stars season celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the famous survival game. At the casting, “The best“, the best of the best. But not the most irreproachable. Indeed, this edition is marked by several cheating scandals. Teheiura ate in secret, violating the rules of Koh Lanta. He is not the only one. These serious shortcomings could give a whole different turn to the long-awaited grand finale of the program, Tuesday, December 14, 2021.
Several adventurers would have taken part in night trips with the aim of supplying supplies. The facts took place on counseling evenings, while the Robinson apprentices slept on the island of Raiatea. In the middle of the night, some went to participate in secret dinners out of sight… or almost. In memory of these certainly friendly moments, five adventurers were photographed, including Claude and Laurent. The latter would even have been given unflattering nicknames during the filming, namely “the rogue team” and “the cheating gentlemen“as reported The Parisian in its edition of December 14. Pointed at everywhere, Claude even ended up canceling his participation in another TF1 program, the great competition animators December 9.
The private winner of 100,000 euros and no live final?
So many controversies that are shaking up this end of the season. But at what point? As our colleagues from TV Mag, ALP and TF1 are in the process of considering a possible sanction. Among the hypotheses considered, that of “do not designate a winner“during the grand finale”or at least not to hand over the 100,000 euros promised to the winner“. According to Isabelle Morini-Bosc on RTL this morning, the money could instead go to the association of Bertrand-Kamal, candidate who died in 2020 of cancer. One way to punish the winner if he cheated, but also to send a strong message. Always after TV Mag, this cheating affair does not only concern the handful of adventurers who left on an expedition but also the other candidates, who remained there but who took advantage of some food brought by the fugitives “in a spirit of camaraderie or simply to remain silent“.
Another radical measure: the final will not be broadcast live. Indeed, it was decided after a crisis meeting of summon “urgently” the adventurers from 10 a.m. to record the counting of the votes at the Plaine Saint-Denis, as we learn The Parisian. “Whoever thought of winning this anniversary edition being wet in several cheating cases, impossible to take the slightest risk.“
Remember that the three finalists are Ugo, Claude and Laurent. This Tuesday, December 14, on TF1, they compete in the legendary pole test. The winner chooses the one who accompanies him in front of the final jury, who then votes for the ultimate winner of this Koh-Lanta, The Legend.
