The verdict is in: this edition of Koh-Lanta, the Legend will not have a winner. According to the newspaper Le Parisien, which closely follows the case, the production of the show has confirmed that no candidate will be crowned winner at the end of the final this Tuesday, December 14. This decision follows numerous accusations of cheating on the part of the candidates, in this season which was to be historic. There was first Teheiura who appealed for outside help twice to feed himself, the Polynesian was finally ousted. The story could have ended there, but new revelations have come to taint the image of Koh-Lanta: still according to Le Parisien, at least four candidates would have benefited from illegal dinners with residents, especially after the advice. After an investigation, the production would have even managed to obtain a photo of the adventurers during these famous meals. Irrefutable proof. Yet all of them continued to deny being involved. Claude and Laurent, who are among the adventurers targeted by these accusations, did not “never admitted any cheating“, assures Le Parisien.
Result ? The counting of the final vote to determine the winner, which was to take place this Tuesday, December 14, has been canceled. According to the newspaper’s information, this part of the show was even shot in advance, whereas it usually takes place live. “The star host of the survival game justified the decision not to proceed with the counting of the votes of the thirteen members of the jury, as initially planned, because “the rules were not respected“” writes Le Parisien. It was finally decided that the 100,000 euros initially promised to the winner will be donated to the benefit of the Bertrand-Kamal Fund, a candidate from the previous season who died of pancreatic cancer.
“It’s everyone’s fault”
If he continues to deny the facts, Claude confessed in spite of himself. In a video posted on Instagram by Laurent, we can hear the candidate getting excited in the background, obviously not knowing that the camera is running at that time: “It’s everyone’s fault. This is what people did not understand. The candidates, the production… everyone. To each his own scale, we screwed up shit.“A half-word confession?
