Ah, the portraits of the new “Koh-Lanta” candidates, we missed them!
The stylistic exercise which always reserves a few nuggets was indeed absent from the last edition, since all the adventurers were then former figures of the game. This Tuesday evening on TF1, for the launch of "Koh-Lanta, the cursed totem viewers were introduced to 24 new faces and some tasty snippets.
In the lead, let's quote Jean-Philippe, known as "JP": "I don't mind going to the clash to be able to impose my ideas, because I am convinced that they are generally the best, launches this 36-year-old painter. .
With me, there are no half measures, either they envy me or they idolize me.
“Not bad too, the presentations of Fouzi, financial director of a humor festival who sees himself as the “Mbappé of finance” or Samira, Moroccan handball player.
"If I could describe myself in one word, my name would be Koh-Lanta," she said.
As for Benjamin, we can already imagine him trying to turn the brains of his playmates: “Intellectually, I am convinced that I am not stupid and I already think I am a very good strategist.

All these little people ended up in the Philippines, in Bacuit Bay.
It was there, in the open sea, that Denis Brogniart announced to them the existence of a cursed totem which generates penalties for those who lose the tests.
The first game was individual: swimming to reach the beach, then a puzzle to piece together.
Objective: win to have an advantage and above all not to be the last man or the last woman, under penalty of inheriting a cursed bracelet which will lead to a voice against its wearer at each council until that of reunification.
This first curse hit Lili and Yannick.

Driving rains, ants, snakes… Survival is already tough
With this first particularly handicapping disadvantage, the producers of “Koh-Lanta” did very well.
Especially since if the wearer of a bracelet is eliminated, he passes it on to the comrade of his choice before leaving!
It can thus be easy to vote against one of the cursed ones, but at the risk of inheriting the object later... This is what happened for Pauline, to whom Lili gave her bracelet after being unanimously eliminated by the green tribe, losers of the immunity trial.
On the side of the violets, second but also sent to the council, Yannick did not suffer from his bracelet and it was chef Céline who suffered the vote of her comrades.
From this rather classic first episode, let's remember above all the rather harsh survival conditions with driving rains, an invasion of ants and the obligation to raise a cabin due to the presence of snakes!
And it didn't miss.
When he got up at night, François came across one, which he hastened to kill with a machete.
As for Franck, he had the misfortune to bite into some wild taro, which caused him to spend a bad quarter of an hour, the tuber being very stinging.
So far no one has made the fire yet;
you will have to activate.
