This was to be expected … While the Koh-Lanta final was eagerly awaited and took place this Tuesday, December 14, 2021 on TF1, viewers did not fail to say what they really thought of the program. And some really didn’t mince their words! It must be said that this season has been “a bit special”, as recognized by Alexia Laroche-Joubert, the producer of “Koh-Lanta”. And for good reason, on the set, adventurers managed to get food. A cheating business that has taken on enormous proportions. Especially when viewers learned that Teheiura, who was the only culprit at first, was actually not alone when it came to eating food donated by locals. Some adventurers are said to have even paid for their meals. Never seen in “Koh-Lanta”!
This story has deeply shaken the image of the program, all the more so as only legends of the show were invited to this anniversary edition. Faced with this unprecedented situation, the production took a radical decision a few hours before the broadcast of the final of “Koh-Lanta”. “We did not proceed to the counting live in Paris of the votes which were to decide between the two finalists, and no adventurer was crowned winner of this edition of ‘Koh-Lanta'”, announced Alexia Laroche-Joubert in a press release relayed on social networks.
The gains, namely the tidy sum of 100,000 euros, were donated “to the Fund for Bertrand Kamal (candidate of the previous season of ‘Koh-Lanta’ who died of pancreatic cancer after his participation in the game, Editor’s note) , carried by the Arc Foundation “. On Twitter, viewers did not hide their dissatisfaction. Particularly because the names of the adventurers who cheated have not been fully disclosed. “How can you cover up these cheaters?”, “I have the feeling I have been held hostage all evening, all for that…”, “This adventure no longer inspires confidence but cheating”, “A shame this final “,” Shabby “,” The program is a disaster “, we can read.
