On Tuesday March 1, 2022, Koh-Lanta was the opportunity to see one of the public’s favorites go to the council… But also, Franck, who decided to leave the adventure of his own free will.
After barely a few days on the island of Koh-Lanta: the cursed totem, Franck, 52, has decided to leave the adventure. Obviously, the reactions of Internet users were without appeal. Many were disappointed to see the dean of this 2022 edition give up after such a short time. However, Franck’s decision was formal. After eating a poisonous branch and having difficulties during the comfort test, Franck wanted to throw in the towel, to the great despair of his comrades who therefore find themselves with one less adventurer on the island.
If Franck’s departure has generated a lot of debate on social networks, the candidate is far from the first to have decided to give up. Koh Lanta. Before him, twelve other participants left of their own free will over the seasons.

The former adventurers who abandoned Koh-Lanta
Already in 2003, Candice decided to leave her family in Koh Lanta: Bocas del Toro. If this season was the opportunity to see six adventurers, in total, leave the adventure for medical reasons, Candice decided to stop the experience. She has abandoned in the middle of a 24-hour comfort test. Ditto in 2009 where, during the fifth episode, at the time of the council, Kaouther withdraws. Then there is Valerie, in Koh Lanta: Caramoan aired in 2008, who decides to leave, unable to bear not having control over his body.
In 2007, Koh-Lanta: Palawan experienced two abandonments. Ali and Adrien have decided to leave the adventure. The first is mentally exhausted and the second, meanwhile, decides to do an intervention. “After last night’s council meeting and Grégoire’s departure, I found this elimination unfair. Having myself no longer any prospect of victory, I would like to leave and leave my place to Grégoire.” As a result, the latter rejoins the adventure after his elimination, the replacements after retirement still possible in Koh Lanta at the time. Also in 2011, in Koh Lanta: Raja Ampat, two adventurers have given up. It’s about Steve and Naouel who became disillusioned when they arrived on the island, realizing the difficulty of the adventure. Ditto for Charlie and Marius in Koh Lanta: Thailand, aired in 2016.
Koh Lanta: Vietnam was the occasion to see Jennifer leave in the sixth episode. “I prefer to leave with my head held high from myself rather than waiting for elimination”, she said. More recently, in 2017, Brahma is inconsolable and no one can change his mind. The candidate leaves Cambodia after the comfort test.
