This year, the edition of Koh Lanta, baptized The return of the heroes, keeps all its promises. The clashes between old and new candidates keep the faithful of the program in suspense. Alliances, betrayals or low blows, the strategy holds a preponderant place in this 21st season. Twists and turns that sometimes push internet users to go wild on social networks. A sometimes excessive attitude to which Denis Brogniart has always opposed. The host often makes a point of defending the candidates, like Clémentine in the past or Régis and Inès more recently, attacked according to him unfairly. But Thursday, May 21, 2020, a sequence widely relayed on social networks outraged the one who was in his early life a lifeguard in a famous holiday club.
Denis Brogniart outraged by a candidate's lie about the death of his grandmother
On Twitter, the 52-year-old host shared a post from a surfer who posted an extract from Survivor: Pearl Islands, American edition of Koh Lanta, which dates from 2003. In this sequence we discover a candidate, Jon Dalton, who manipulates teammates and opponents with a somewhat dubious moral strategy. In the episode where adventurers compete in a test that offers as a reward a special moment with a loved one, Jon's best friend announces his grandmother has passed away. This confidence earned him the pity of the other players who decided to let him take advantage of the presence of his friend to better digest this announcement and learn more. Except nothing's true. Even before their departure for Panama to the filming location, the candidate and his friend had decided to implement this strategy in order to be sure of finding the two of them. "I can't understand this lie about the American #KohLanta #Survivor! Coax others on the real false death of a grandmother, I say NO", reacted Denis Brogniart, outraged by the attitude of the American candidate.
