In the final of Koh-Lanta: the 4 lands, on TF1, on Friday December 4, 2020, the fund for Bertand-Kamal, candidate of the show who died in September 2020, was officially launched. Carried away by pancreatic cancer, the money raised will help advance research to fight the disease.
In all, 1120 euros were collected by the show's candidates. According to some viewers, this amount is "ridiculous". On social networks, many have been criticized regarding the investment of adventurers of Koh Lanta for their old comrade. In the columns of PurePoeple, Brice spoke and wanted to justify himself: "We have been qualified as tight-fisted. You should know that it is not because we do television that we are rich, on the contrary. I speak for myself, but also for many adventurers: we are not millionaires", he explained before adding: "Life is complicated for everyone. We cannot all put 1000 or 2000 euros for an association. Obviously, we would have liked to put 100,000 euros. But we are not running on gold, we each have our apartment, our life and we are all struggling. "
Alexandra, big winner of this edition of Koh Lanta, also returned to the controversy: "Everything is good to criticize anyway. If everyone gives a small amount, that will already change things. (…) The 100,000 euros, it will be largely for my daughters. It is for them that I ' I participated so I will keep this money for their future. And I will also give part of it to the Arc Foundation for the Bertrand-Kamal fund. The sum is up to me and the association. " A cash return as the winner of the game knows how to do.
