"He wants revenge and put out the fire. An unprecedented act in the Koh-Lanta adventure, ”comments astonished Denis Brogniart in the last ten minutes of the first episode. He is Joseph, a 27-year-old furniture seller who is presented as belonging to the "Travelers" community.
Neither one nor two, he fills a pot with seawater before dropping everything on the embers. With him, it passes or it breaks. Three days of relentlessness to start the fire, alone. Three days of nervousness. Against him, first. Which annoyed others. So much so that the reds (his team) all voted against Joseph at the first council. "I did a bad job and I deserve to leave," finally admitted the reckless. Too late.
Exit also Claudia, a 21-year-old communications student. She may be a backpacker and have a nice sympathy capital, she twisted her ankle while going to get the water. The doctor diagnosed a sprain, when she had "never broken anything" before. It is Marie who replaces her. But his positive attitude takes a big hit by discovering the calamitous atmosphere among the reds: "I almost want to go home," she says to Denis Brogniart.
The youngest fired in 2 minutes 30
This first episode is also that of Ahmad, a business owner in fast food. His flaw? His swimming difficulties, which resulted in the reds dropping out of the immunity test. His strength ? The humor, but above all his extraordinary abilities as a fine strategist, which allowed him to dodge the final sentence. And what about Pholien, a 29-year-old Belgian physiotherapist and former swimming champion already nicknamed ... "Hulk"?
On the yellow side, we mostly saw Sam, 20, who dreams of a military career. The youngest of this 24th edition fired in 2 minutes 30, like Marc in 2015 in Malaysia. But we also heard very little. This caught the attention of his comrades, who were kind enough for the moment.
Yellow or red, the fourteen shipwrecked do not yet know that five other candidates have landed on the island. They are called Teheiura, Sara, Claude, Jessica and Moussa. And accumulate 258 days of survival. Only four will join the two teams. But TF1 makes the suspense last. We saw nothing of the event that should decide them. It also remains to be seen whether their experience will be an advantage or a handicap for the future.
