Coup de theater during the episode of Koh-Lanta 2021 (TF1) of November 9. Teheiura was excluded from the game after confessing to Denis Brogniart that he had cheated. He made a sign to fishermen passing by and asked them for food, on two occasions. A story that continues to make noise. Cedric, the brother-in-law of the iconic adventurer, therefore wanted to defend him.
Many TF1 viewers are still in shock after discovering Teheiura’s act. If some understand that he may have had a moment of weakness, they are less tolerant of his presence in the final jury, despite the justifications of the main interested party, the presenter Denis Brogniart or the production. Touched by what is happening to his brother-in-law, Cédric therefore spoke to our colleagues from 20 minutes.
This is the opportunity to learn that, since the beginning of the adventure, Teheiura would have been pushed to make mistakes. “Your teammates have been pushing you from the start of the adventure to get food from the locals. Despite the hunger, you keep refusing. One day you see a person who happens to have it. What would you have done? You would have taken the food to eat it completely, without sharing it and without saying it. Teheiura is an extremely honest person “, explained Cédric. Remember that this edition was special, since the survival conditions were even more difficult. In addition, it took place on the candidate’s native island. So he saw his parents’ house all the time in the distance, which put more pressure on him.
“He preferred to share it and then acknowledge it to the production team who had no proof. He could thus quite simply have denied and continued the adventure. He preferred to assume in front of millions of people and get out of the game. This to stay in tune with his values. Rarely have I seen such a courageous and honest choice“, Cédric concluded. Teheiura did not in fact keep the food to himself. According to information from the Parisian, Sam and Claude would have benefited from this food, without being excluded from the game. An allegation never confirmed by the main concerned. However, they did not fail to defend their friend, like many other adventurers.
