"Women are the masters of the game in" Koh-Lanta "", rejoices Alexandra

Alexandra, candidate from Koh-Lanta, the 4 lands.

• Six of the seven events contested since reunification in the

  Koh-Lanta season

  currently being broadcast on TF1 have been won by women.

• “It is the women who are the masters of the game, in terms of strategy and events, it's very good and I like this configuration!

  », Explains Alexandra, one of these candidates, to

  20 Minutes

  .

• “Even if we tend to insist on the qualities of boys who are presented as sportsmen, there are often in

  Koh-Lanta's

  castings

  brilliant girls from all points of view.

  But it is true that this year, we are particularly spoiled ”, notes Swann Borsellino who follows the program for the

"When are the men going to wake up?"

The question, a bit provocative, asked by Denis Brogniart during the last advice of

, had something to scratch the male ego.

But it is inspired by a clear observation: of the seven tests of comfort or immunities disputed since reunification, six have been won by women.

In the process, Dorian, conceded: “They are doing very well, they are solid.

This year, we have girls who are really strong physically in some events, mentally in others, they are really complete.

"

"Women have always been strong in

and have won the show a lot in general [in the charts, eleven of the twenty-six winners are winners], nuance with

Swann Borsellino, journalist who follows the game of TF1 for the

site 

.

Although there is a tendency to emphasize the qualities of boys who are presented as sportsmen, there are often in the castings girls who are brilliant from all points of view.

But it is true that this year, we are particularly spoiled.

"

"I felt like I always had to do more"

Among the adventurers who stand out from the crowd, Alexandra arises there.

The 32-year-old accountant has proven to be formidable over the episodes.

Things had started off rather badly as she fell ill the first day, losing her voice.

“I can understand that I was seen as a weak link,” she explains to

.

But I fought, I gave everything.

"

The thirty-something from Ain has impressed on several occasions, especially during a test of comfort where she seemed perfectly serene carrying three heavy bags at arm's length while her acolytes had the greatest difficulty in holding two.

“I had the impression of having to always do more, whereas some have a charisma or a legitimacy from the outset because they are high level sportsmen or other.

Me, I had to fight each time, to look like a competitor, to show that I was there too.

"When you're a woman, it's harder," she adds, lamenting the "macho side", tending to speak on the island of 

.

Sexism is also dripping on social networks.

“I noticed that we were criticized a lot, us women, on the hair, the physique… more than the boys.

I do not understand, continues the adventurer.

When we go to

, we want to show that we can be there, with the determination, with the mental, the physical strength and to fight on the tests.

When what emerges is superficial things like that, it turns me off.

"

"We can also be strong physically"

"I also hear people say 'That's a test for women, that's why a woman wins' or' When we have muscular arms, it's more difficult for us to hold stuff in the air… "I don't understand, I've never heard a woman say" Ah well, that's a test for a guy! ", annoys Alexandra.

We summarize our victories to the mind, as if it could only be that, because we are women.

We can also be strong physically, it can be beautiful, good, and it must be respectable.

"

Since reunification, Alexandra, Alix and Angélique have each gleaned one victory and Lola three.

Yet the way some internet users talk about Lola is edifying.

Friday, some were annoyed that the Northerner was spared, during the game of comfort, by the other players who, in view of her size, did not dare to weight her down with heavy bags that could hinder her progress on the course of obstacles.

“That we didn't give him the 26kg, I don't find that horrible.

What I find horrible are the people who have fallen on her on social networks to tell her that she did not deserve her victory, ”says Swann Borsellino.

And to emphasize that Lola, in the process, won the immunity test.

Facing Alix, by the way.

“This season, maybe the boys are a little less strong.

Most of the charismatic and successful characters in the events are women, continues the journalist from

.

Afterwards,

is a great entertainment, but also editing, casting ... You should not be completely fooled, but I find it normal that the show is more a reflection of the current society that it has could have been before.

"

"Anyone can identify themselves"

Jodie, eliminated at the end of the last episode, rejoiced in debriefing with

of these female triumphs: “We do not let

ourselves be trodden

on during the tests.

It has to continue in real life, not just on

.

What is good is that we are women of all ages, everyone can relate.

"

Alexandra, who admires Wonder Woman, is aware that she can be a role model for viewers, especially younger ones.

“It's important to be an independent and strong woman in our society,” she confides to

.

One of my motivations was to show that I could be as strong as a man in hardship.

We feel that, since reunification, it is the women who are the masters of the game, in terms of strategy and events, it's very good and I like this configuration!

"

In the next episode airing Friday, the men will have the opportunity to return to victory.

And for good reason: adventurers will be divided into mixed pairs.

Each event will therefore be won by a man and a woman.

Parity to the aid of these gentlemen.
