To discover
“Koh-Lanta, the sacred fire”: date, candidates, news… Everything you need to know
"
At the very start, we didn't have a lot of information around this sacred fire"
, Frédéric tells us before describing their arrival in the game shot in the Philippines last summer.
“
We dive from the boat and then we find ourselves on a beach.
And in the distance, we see a fire.
It is only after the first test that we understand that the season will be called
“
the sacred fire
”
.
There is also a talisman which has powers”
, reveals this former commercial director.
"The winner of the first test wins the talisman and, thanks to it, if he goes to the council with his team, he is protected or can protect the person of his choice," adds Tania
.
If the opposing team is on the council, he can protect the adventurer he wants

Tania very nearly did not participate in the game. A few months before flying off for the shoot, the daughter of Tara Ivanovic, professional handball player, injured her knee, which could have compromised her participation in the show.
“
I was very scared but I tried to see the positive to achieve my dream.
So I did rehabilitation
”, tells us the young woman who presents herself as single in the portrait broadcast in the program.
"
As I was injured, I gained 3 or 4 kilos more but I told myself that I was going to keep them for the adventure
", she emphasizes again.
"I was not prepared to sleep in the damp and the cold"
Tania, candidate for "Koh-Lanta: the sacred fire"
On the spot, the candidates encountered some difficulties.
"
Hunger was the most difficult for me,"
confides Frédéric.
I love to eat and I hadn't anticipated that it would hurt from the start.
We start directly with energy-intensive events and after that it's complicated to recover without eating
, ”adds the one who will marry next August to Marine, his partner of Portuguese origin.
Tania struggled with the weather conditions, especially at night.
“
I didn't expect that at all.
I had prepared myself for hunger, for insects, but not for sleeping in the humidity and the cold
,” she explains.
What about the lack of hygiene?
“
In life, I'm obsessed with my teeth
, recognizes Tania.
I brush my teeth five times a day, I don't floss... In “Koh-Lanta”, I didn't even try to scrape them, I let myself be carried away”, she admits
.
“Me, I took my T-shirt and I rubbed my teeth before sleeping
”, adds Frédéric before warning: “
But you can quickly blow your teeth!
