It’s been almost 25 years since we discovered the first season of Koh Lanta on our screens in 2001, since the TF1 survival show continues to seduce viewers who impatiently await a new season every year. Since February, the 25th edition called Koh-Lanta: The Immunity Hunters is broadcast on the first channel in France and this Tuesday, June 4, 2024, viewers will have the chance to attend the grand final between Léa, Julie and Meïssa.
A final which already promises to be full of suspense after weeks of twists and turns starting with the abandonment of Jean after injuring his ankle, or the departure of the two former members of the yellow team, the Kadasi , Amri and Pauline during the orienteering race broadcast last Tuesday. Several weeks of fierce competition which will culminate this evening in the legendary pole test for the last three finalists, the two Matukad Julie and Meïssa as well as the last yellow, Léa.
