Tensions escalate in the Philippines as adventurers grapple with betrayal and strategy in ‘Koh-Lanta.’ Gustin’s controversial vote leaves the ex-reds in despair, while Frédéric seeks revenge against Ugo and his allies. As alliances shift and immunity challenges arise, Charlotte ultimately triumphs, securing her safety and revenge. The tribal council reveals shocking twists, resulting in Frédéric’s unexpected elimination. Emotions run high as players confront betrayal and strategize for survival in this intense competition.
Stakeholders in the ongoing saga of the Philippines adventure are feeling the heat. The dynamics among the former red contestants have shifted dramatically following Gustin’s surprising vote, which has left many in disbelief, especially after he targeted Sara. Frédéric notes the mood among the ex-reds is bleak, and he finds a certain satisfaction in their downfall.
As Cassandre mourns the loss of her ally, Ugo is feeling the sting of betrayal from Gustin. He decides to distance himself from Gustin, who he believes has made a critical error. Under pressure, Ugo cast a vote against Frédéric, despite having previously agreed to an alliance. Aware that this move could come back to haunt him, he is now focused on finding an immunity necklace.
Ugo has shot himself in the foot. As a player, I’ll be merciless.

On the flip side, Gustin is experiencing smooth sailing. “The council went very well for me. I feel at ease with my new allies,” he states, dismissing any sense of betrayal toward the former red team. Meanwhile, Frédéric is keen to settle scores.
“Ugo is only harming himself. He has apologized repeatedly, but I don’t care. As a player, I’ll be ruthless,” Frédéric states, pledging to take down the ex-reds one by one, starting with Maxime. Ugo’s perseverance pays off as he eventually discovers an immunity necklace. “Now, I need to strategize more effectively and stay involved,” he tells his allies while keeping his find a secret.
Gustin’s Salt-Making Breakthrough
In a surprising twist, Gustin manages to make salt by allowing seawater to evaporate in coconuts—an extraordinary feat that has left his teammates in awe. “It’s brilliant! In 20 seasons of ‘Koh-Lanta’, no one has ever done this before,” Frédéric remarks on Gustin’s ingenuity.
Next comes an archery challenge, where both Cassandre and Cécile shine. Cécile has impressive credentials, having previously qualified for the French Championships in her specialty discipline.
The Adventuresses Unite
The winner of the challenge will receive a delectable lasagne meal paired with a vanilla milkshake and a heartfelt video message from loved ones. The thought alone brings tears to many eyes. Frédéric dominates the competition, ultimately winning the prize and choosing to share it with Thibault as a gesture of appreciation for his support.
Meanwhile, the defeated castaways are disheartened, particularly Charlotte and Sophia, who feel used in Frédéric’s strategic play. The situation worsens as Augustin suggests that the women should handle the dishes while he prepares the meals, further fueling their frustrations.
Frédéric Feels the Pressure
Ugo proposes a female alliance, hoping to protect his necklace while also saving Maxime. Frédéric and Thibault enjoy their shared meal and the messages from home, but Frédéric grows suspicious of Maxime and Cassandre. He realizes that winning immunity is crucial for his survival in the game. Frédéric’s attempts to communicate with Charlotte are met with her anger, further complicating team dynamics.
The immunity challenge day arrives, featuring a test of endurance where contestants must cling to bamboo using their hands and feet. After two hours of exertion, Cassandre, Ugo, and Charlotte remain, but Ugo and Cassandre eventually drop out, leaving Charlotte victorious—a welcome turn for the women’s alliance.
I’m sick of being taken for a stupid woman.

Charlotte
With her immunity victory secured, Charlotte reflects on the importance of persistence in her life and dedicates her win to her mother. She expresses her desire to vote against Frédéric rather than Ugo, declaring, “I’m done being underestimated.”
When the council convenes, Ugo chooses to keep his necklace. The votes are neck-and-neck, but Frédéric is ultimately eliminated by seven votes to Ugo’s five. He is taken aback by the results. “I’m shocked; I didn’t see this coming,” he admits, surprised by the votes from Sophia and Charlotte.
Unfortunately, I played that part badly, and I assume that.

Jacques is equally stunned, expressing disbelief. Sophia defends her vote, asserting it was
