this selection criterion divides, Denis Brogniart explains

The casting is open. After a season of “Koh-Lanta” placed under the sign of cheating revealed in broad daylight, the production of the adventure game opened the casting of a next season. And the content of the application file makes Internet users react. The reason ? You must provide a photo in a swimsuit.

Indeed, after having completed all the necessary information and answered three questions, the candidates must send three photos: a close-up portrait photo, a photo of the foot and a photo in a swimsuit. A request that intrigues Internet users on Twitter, who did not hesitate to respond to the message posted by Denis Brogniart. “I would like to but why do we have to send a photo in a swimsuit? There are people who would like to participate but who do not feel comfortable enough to do that”, asks one of them. The host of TF1 replied, explaining that the adventurers spend a lot of time in swimsuits. And his answer is debated.

A discriminatory criterion?

While some find this request coherent, explaining that if someone is not comfortable sending a photo, he or she will not be more in front of the cameras, others see it as discrimination. “Yes in Koh-Lanta the candidates are often in swimsuits for the tests and life on the camp, one should not be modest but at the time of the preselections, it looks more like a judgment on the physical criteria of the candidates or this is not a Miss contest “, wrote one of them.

And some Internet users have raised a certain inconsistency in Denis Brogniart’s response. In some previous seasons, adventurers participated without knowing how to swim. This is what one of the internet users recalled: “You take many candidates who can not swim when there are a lot of events in the water! No? Nice evening”. So it seems that the show ”Koh-Lanta” is still talking about her for some time.
