  • The ninth episode of

    Koh-Lanta: Les 4 Terres

     was marked by the departure of Bertrand-Kamal after his defeat in the immunity test.

  • Died last September, the 31-year-old adventurer was unanimous among the public thanks to his permanent good humor and his altruism.

  • The readers of 

    20 Minutes 

    testify to the great affection they had for him.

When we asked our readers what they would take away from Bertrand-Kamal's journey in

Koh-Lanta

, we did not expect such a surge of testimonials.

Quickly, several hundred messages came to fill our virtual mailbox.

Overwhelmed by the number of displays of affection, we will not be able to transcribe all the thoughts of our Internet users, but this wave is ultimately the greatest proof of the bond that had been woven between viewers and this adventurer, who died last September and eliminated from the game this Friday.

Among the words that can be read in the testimonies of readers of

20 Minutes

, Bertrand-Kamal's “smile” comes back perpetually, in front of his “good humor” and his “joie de vivre”.

But it's impossible for us not to notice how many of you have thanked him.

“Thank you for the warmth you brought us”, writes Myriam, “thank you for having transmitted this beautiful facet of the human being to us,” says Djamel.

Nathalie is the mother of a 13-year-old boy suffering from cancer and currently in remission.

“The tribute paid to him has given us a little balm in our hearts.

The living are not mistaken and this is the essential, she is moved.

Thank you to Bertrand-Kamal for this lesson in life that I was able to share with my son.

"

Unanimity among all ages

Family show par excellence,

Koh-Lanta

brings together all generations in front of the small screen on Friday evenings, even the fourth age.

For Claude, 83, “the young Bertrand-Kamal is an example from all points of view and must be remembered for his behavior as a man.

“At 84, Simone, she explains to be a faithful of the show and to have cried in front of the images of her departure on TF1.

Another “90-year-old granny” goes on and speaks of the 31-year-old young man as someone of right and generous: “I will not forget you,” Yvette promises.

Other viewers also quickly identified with Béka, either because of their age or their region of origin.

David, 31, decided to take a look at this season out of curiosity.

“I come across this guy, Bertrand-Kamal, and it's almost love at first sight!

Immediately I felt that it was not a character, but simply someone who came to

Koh-Lanta

with his solar personality, out of the ordinary.

For him, this departure without elimination remains the best possible end to his adventure.

A favorite from the start of the adventure

Bertrand-Kamal was one of those atypical candidates that we notice from the first minutes of the game. During the presentation of the season to the press last July, the journalists already write his first name in their notebooks, he who denotes among the 24 adventurers.

The same effect occurred in the home of millions of French people at the end of August before the launch of “4 Terres”.

“From the first minutes of his portrait I knew he would be my favorite.

How not to fall under the spell of this authentic and endearing man?

», Recounts Vanessa.

Charlène also appreciated Bertrand-Kamal as soon as she arrived at the camp.

“We already felt that he was giving off a very positive and warm energy and the episodes that followed only confirmed this,” she recalls.

"We were all obliged to love him from the first minutes of the show," sums up Linda, which is in line with Mathieu's testimony.

"I shed tears as if I lost a loved one, because yes, even through the screen, we are forced to forge links with Béka," he says.

There is no doubt that Béka's ardor and passion during her nine weeks of competition will still inspire viewers, like Delphine, not retained by the production after having passed the casting of the show two years ago.

“Bertrand-Kamal made me want to try my luck again in this incredible adventure,” she says.
