The rules of Koh Lanta are simple. About twenty adventurers find themselves on a desert island with the bare minimum to survive. The luckiest have a portion of rice to last more than a month, others have to make do with what they manage to unearth on the spot, from fish caught to sugar cane found in the forest, including won meals. during comforts. Only food at will: water. At the same time, the Robinson apprentices have the mission of taking care of the camp in which they live, but also of being ready to compete against each other during tests combining physical and mental capacities. All without hygiene, of course!
Personal hygiene with the means at hand
No showers, except for those who have emerged victorious from a comfort game at some stage of the game. So, to “rinse off”, the adventurers dive into the salty water of the sea. It goes without saying that shampoo, soap and other hygiene products are prohibited. In their backpack, they carry only the minimum, namely a bathing suit, underwear, two pairs of socks, two tops, a sweatshirt, shorts and a cap. The toothbrush is not part of the trip. But some have their little trick and manage to keep teeth clean with stick and ash. “It tastes awful“, indicated Brice (Koh-Lanta, The 4 Lands) to Parisian.
Makeshift toilets, a natural PQ
Adventurers sleep in huts made by themselves. So, needless to say, this camp does not contain toilets. Most of the time they all mean together a place that will become the place where they defecate. And after ? Some wipe themselves with coconut leaves, others wash themselves with water… from the sea! Near Entertainment TVthe producer Julien Magne had alerted to the fact that without prior consultation regarding the installation of makeshift toilets, “very quickly, each walks in what the other has done“.
Libido at 0
Often in nighttime images, adventurers sleep close together. And some Internet users each year consider physical rapprochement between them, going so far as to imagine an attraction and even sexual intercourse. In reality, it is nothing. “In the adventure there is no longer beautiful or ugly. At no time did I say to myself that she is not bad. Our only goal was to standexplained Brice. There is no longer any distinction between boys and girls. Between guys, we said to each other ‘Do you also work more?’ Libido is light years away for 35 days. It surprised me. But when we eat again, everything is fine.“
In short, “if you are afraid of hygiene, you should not do Koh-Lanta”, summed up Théotime, seen in 2017 in the Fiji edition.
