He is one of the most iconic adventurers of Koh Lanta. And after having spent four seasons with impeccable behavior, Teheiura Teahui has failed. The Tahitian, father of four children and second record holder of victories after Claude, was guilty of cheating. He, as Denis Brogniart announced, repeatedly asked fishermen off the camp to feed him. What they did. Great breach of one of the most important rules of the game of TF1. The sanction fell, Teheiura, then on the island of the banished, ready to face Alexandra and Christelle to hope to return to the adventure just before the orienteering race, is excluded. He accepts and regrets. But in reality, he wouldn’t be the only one to have profited from this cheating. In interview for Purepeople.com, Alexandra says a little more about these rumors …
What did you think when Denis Brogniart talks to Teheiura?
It hurt me a lot because Teheiura is someone I really appreciate. He was there all the time thinking about the others on the camp, he was super nice, he brought zenitude. I was very surprised, shocked. In fact, it was a human who broke down. The conditions were so harsh on this Koh Lanta. In addition to the extremely difficult tests, in the camp we had no saucepan, no rice, no cassava. Among the reds, we didn’t have the harpoon, we didn’t gain the comforts except one. And again, it was a piece of pizza … Everything was really hard.
Did you know about this cheating story?
I was not aware of it. It had been almost a week since I was on the island of the banished … I discovered that when Denis Brogniart announced it.
How did you experience survival and hunger on this Koh Lanta ?
It was really harder than my previous season. And even other candidates who have already participated in All Star seasons have confirmed to me that The legend was the toughest edition at that level.
How can such an act have taken place twice without the other adventurers seeing it?
I don’t know … I didn’t really ask myself the question. Maybe it happened at night. But after the island is big, we are not on top of each other all the time. We’re not all glued together all the time.
According to rumors, other adventurers might also be affected … Have you heard of it?
I have heard about the fact that there may have been a sharing. That basically, Teheiura would have shared what the fishermen gave him with other adventurers. This is what was said at the house of the final jury. But after I was not there, I saw nothing.
