“For the first season, we wiped the plaster, we fumbled. For the second, we listened to the criticism of viewers: there are more events, more dynamics, less downtime. And the zombies will be very interventionists “, said Denis Brogniart.
After a booming start (more than five million viewers for the first number), audiences for the following episodes had fallen sharply. On average, the season was attended by 3.5 million people. But Denis Brogniart shows no disappointment: “Of course we would have liked to stay at the level of the first two shows. But disappointed, no! We had more than 30% of the market share for women under 50. What entertainment show does this score? part ‘Koh-Lanta’, no one! ”
Koh Lanta, TF1’s most powerful program (apart from events such as the Miss France election), is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. With a special edition composed of the legends of the adventure game. This season was marked by a case of cheating: Teheiura, emblematic candidate, ate in secret, which earned him an exclusion. “I don’t know if this is the first time that this has happened. Yes at this level I think it is a first, but I cannot certify it. It is not good what it did Teheiura, he admitted it, he was penalized for that because he was the instigator. Ok, he ate a steak and fries, but let’s not forget that it is a game! Before that there is had four seasons of Koh Lanta where he was a hero. What he did in no way detracts from the sympathy and admiration I have for this adventurer and this man “, comments Denis Brogniart who promises that measures have been taken so that this does not happen again.
