There is the epidemic, stress, fear, containment, uncertainty ... Of course. But have you thought about the adventurers of Koh-Lanta before complaining? No, of course. Because if we ask ourselves two seconds to think, we see that the TF1 program, even reduced to one hour because of the coronavirus, carries with it very useful life lessons to better understand the confinement.
And it is not only about distraction, but about real philosophical teachings. So thank you, who? Thank you Moundir and Clémentine. Thank you Teheiura and Clémence. 20 Minutes , with the help of Plankaster, host of the podcast Autour du feu , devoted to Koh-Lanta, gives you five tips from the game of TF1 to help you get through the confined spring.
Dealing with boredom
This is one of the problems that goes back on social networks. How to deal with confinement? This question does not arise if one continues to work or have children. However, loneliness can bring its share of moments of idleness. As in Koh-Lanta ... "There are a lot of times when candidates don't do much," says Plankaster. In these moments, we think of everything that is missing. For them, it can be food, comfort or their loved ones. Unlike us, confined, candidates do not have their everyday objects or communication. They find themselves facing themselves. "
The lesson that can be learned from the experience of the candidates is not to forget sociability, by all possible means. “In Koh-Lanta , it's about taking care of what you have but also living with others. The program also tells the reconstruction of a sociability, in extreme and particular conditions. This is even the major issue. "
Manage promiscuity
For those who do not confine alone, the other problem is ... the others. As in Koh-Lanta . “In the conditions of discomfort of the game, we see that people control themselves less, the emotions are increased tenfold. There are very strong rants, candidates who crack. But the moments of tension pass, because the stake, the game in this case, always returns. "
Above all, the post- Koh-Lanta period is a reason for hope for confined families: “The ties that are forged in this context are very strong. Many candidates see each other again after the game, they have this reference in common in their lives. "
Manage the food
In confinement, you cannot go out shopping as much as you would like to prepare good meals. All things considered, the adventurers of Koh-Lanta live a similar situation where meals (or the absence of meals) can turn into an obsession.
Above all, as it is advisable to have one "supply" per household to avoid contamination, the tribes of Koh-Lanta often organize themselves with well assigned roles. "There are sometimes candidates who do not understand their elimination because they felt useful on the camp, because they fish or go to fetch food, water, Plankaster remarks. But Koh-Lanta is a competition. And if the person who took care of the food is eliminated, we replace him, it's easy. The lesson of all this? Do not eliminate yourself in confinement.
To manage stress
The same thing happens every time advice is approached: stress and pressure build up, nerves are put to the test. Those of the candidates? No. Those of the viewers. “Koh-Lanta is a competition, it's normal that there will be eliminations. With fatigue, it happens that some candidates take things to heart. The editing and the voiceover highlight this a lot. But in reality, the candidates have more perspective than we think. They come to play a game. "
To manage stress in confinement, it is therefore advisable to see things from a different angle, and to remember the purpose of all this: to be all and all in good health this summer.
Review priorities
After three weeks of confinement, some are already learning about themselves and their relationship to the world. The adventurers of Koh-Lanta also sometimes reassess their lives during and after the show. Plankaster suggests not putting too much pressure on yourself. According to him, one of the drawbacks of Koh-Lanta , and of our very connected lives one would be tempted to add, is to overvalue the emblematic characters to the detriment of the more banal candidates. "The candidates who most resemble us are those who are most criticized by viewers, who want to see iconic heroes. Too bad. "

Similarly, our specialist believes that the assembly is not always honest and tends to smooth certain profiles. “Some winners are presented as discreet by the assembly but they necessarily eliminated the others to arrive there. Being a winner doesn't have to be perfect. And that's it for the last lesson. You will think about it in a few weeks with Ahmad's victory.
