In one episode, Ava burns her armpit hair with… fire.
In "Koh-Lanta, the 4 Lands", the candidates compete in inventiveness to talk to each other during the adventure game broadcast every Friday at 9:05 pm on TF1.
Ava, a participant noted for her improvised hair removal, and Brice, for her physical transformation, agreed to share their beauty routine with us: nothing at all!
“On the camp, the image, we do not care, insists Brice.
During the adventure, we do not see each other.
I uncover my head every Friday.
My mother almost has tears in her eyes.
She said to me:
If it was live, I would take a plane to pick you up
!
"
Before filming, a doctor gives them an update on the dangerous species of flora and fauna.
"But it does not give any rule on hygiene", assures Julien Magne, director of programs of Adventure Line.
Want to wash?
Direction the ocean.
“We only have that to rinse ourselves off.
We sometimes clean our clothes there when the weather is nice, explains Brice.
We just have a swimsuit, two boxers, two pairs of socks, two tops, a sweatshirt, a cap, and our adventure bag serves as a pillow.
"
A small stick for a toothbrush
Brice is the only one to have taken advantage of a shower as a reward for an ordeal.
"If I had had in mind the 6 million viewers who were going to see me soaping myself up, that would have been weird, he laughs.
When I got back to the cabin, they were all hugging me and the girls were fighting to sleep next to me.
It is ten times better than the effect of the Ax ad.
"
On the camp, the candidates have at their disposal a walkie-talkie connected 24 hours a day with a doctor but also sunscreen, antiseptic wipes, bandages and condoms.
"The cameramen are not allowed to use products like perfume so as not to tempt us", slips Ava.
As a morning routine, Brice used a “needle-shaped stick” for toothbrushing.
“I rubbed my teeth one by one with it.
Otherwise, I mixed water with ash for a toothpaste side ... But, it tastes awful!

Hair is another puzzle.
“I thought I could keep my darling but no.
We use a vine or our bandana.
Me, it was a hairstyle one day.
I thought it would be adventurous to keep them long, but it was a mistake, ”concedes Brice.
Ava untangled them with her fingers.
"I didn't want to have to shave my head at the end!"

Neither is it allowed to depilate or shave with a “classic method”.
“Before the adventure, I wondered how the girls are doing?
With Alix, we tried to remove them with our fingers.
In fact, if you have a problem with the hair, you do not go to Koh-Lanta ”, summarizes Ava.
In one episode, the restaurateur was filmed burning her armpit down.
“The boys don't care, we do this in front of them.
Fabrice also controlled my hair removal by saying
nickel
, she laughs.
But I am happy with these images because they remove a taboo: yes, we have hair in Koh-Lanta!
"
For production, providing a means of hair removal "would be contrary to the essence of the game of survival."
“In general, the girls prefer wax before shooting, which allows for late regrowth.
In recent seasons, some have been permanently laser hair removed, which solves this problem.
"
Side desire, it is not in good shape either.
“In the adventure there is no longer the beautiful or the ugly.
At no time did I tell myself
she's not bad
.
Our only goal was to stand up.
There is no longer even a boy-girl distinction.
Between guys, we said to each other "
Do you also work more?"
The libido is light years away for 35 days.
It surprised me.
But when we eat again, everything is fine, ”laughs Brice.
This lack of seduction, Ava has also noticed.
“We slept in a spoon, we almost sniffed each other.
There was no embarrassment.
"
In the small corner, coconut leaves
In the event of menstrual periods, the production distributes the necessary.
"You give them your tampons and he gives them to you according to your needs.
But I was taking the pill continuously so as not to have them there, ”says Ava.
And the little corner in all this?
“There were two schools: the sea or the forest.
We eat so little that for 21 days, I only peed, says Brice.
When we go there, it's special: we are between two coconut trees.
We choose the leaves to wipe carefully.
It happened to me to fall on soft to the touch but not too much once used… I was sorry!
Of course, you also have to isolate yourself, which is not easy in Koh-Lanta.
“Since you are going alone, the cameramen think you can look for an immunity collar.
So sometimes they follow you.
One day, I start to bend down and I see them in the distance.
I told
them guys anyway,
laughs Ava.
But otherwise, they are very respectful.
"
It wasn't until they got to the jurors' residence that the Robinsons could finally wash up.
Brice is still very moved.
“Our eyes shine in front of a shower like a child in front of a Christmas tree.
