Everyone dreamed of going all the way and becoming the last survivor of Koh-Lanta, The Cursed Totem. But among the twenty-four Robinson apprentices in the cast, only one will remain. Several have already been eliminated. Then remain Jean-Charles, Géraldine, François and Bastien, all four qualified for the highly anticipated test of the posts. This is where everything will be played (or almost)!
The goal of the final candidates is to balance as long as possible on a post planted in the middle of the ocean. As the minutes pass, the ordeal thickens: the rectangle of wood on which their feet are placed becomes narrower and narrower. A gust of wind and everything can stop for one of them! The post game requires great concentration, a steel mind but also and above all good notions of balance. And it’s not given to everyone! Each year, adventurers shine on the tests but also on the camp to finally fail at the gates of the final, falling from the posts.
But that’s not all: the big winner has the privilege of designating which of his opponents accompanies him in front of the final jury. The adventurers eliminated after reunification then have the difficult task of voting for one or the other. The one with the most votes in favor will be named the big winner. Koh Lanta. This rule is controversial among the loyal viewers of the survival game. Many find it unfair. According to them, logic dictates that the last two to stand on the posts are those who present themselves for the grand final in front of the jury. Thus, the values of the program would be honoured. Even more, there are many who want to see endurance, perseverance and effort take precedence over the strategies and other alliances that often determine the course of the game.
Remember that the rules have often evolved in Koh Lanta. Thus, at the very beginning of the game, adventurers had to keep their hand on a trunk as long as possible. From now on, it is thanks to the posts that they are decided. Nothing is lost, then! To be continued…
