  • This Friday, TF1 broadcast the first part of the 

    Koh-Lanta final: Les 4 Terres

    .

  • After more than five hours of racing in the forest, Loïc, Brice and Alexandra qualified for the posts.

    Dorian once again came very close to victory.

  • "When it ends, I'm so exhausted that I'm almost relieved," he told 

    20 Minutes

    .

He almost won the five-stage course, he almost won the obstacle course, and he was very close to victory for balance on the water.

This Friday, Dorian has been true to his tradition, and it was not long before he found his dagger, synonymous with qualification for the

Koh-Lanta

posts

.

But the SNCF controller was overtaken by Alexandra in the home straight.

For

20 Minutes

, the candidate looks back on this exhausting ordeal, takes stock of his adventure and discusses the repercussions of the show on his daily life.

What state of mind were you in before going to orientation?

I was neither serene nor stressed.

It was an ordeal that didn't necessarily scare me.

I didn't go with confidence but I told myself that I knew how to use a compass, I'm not normally bad at orienteering so it could be a test for me.

But maybe I should have been afraid!

There's this whole part of the ordeal where you are seen wandering through the forest.

What happened at that time?

I was no longer thinking of anything.

I had the impression of having turned everything upside down, I knew the forest by heart.

After a while, I'm so exhausted that I think it's really complicated.

And then there is no one around me… I really don't understand what is going on and my body was not responding to my brain anymore.

I walk because I don't want to give up but even if I don't want to let go, my body can't anymore.

I lack lucidity and clairvoyance.

I would have been reassured to see people but I did not see anyone.

I was alone in the world.

And then, after five hours, Alexandra finds the third dagger ...

In the end, I know I'm close, and I'm really missing the point.

I must not open my eyes enough.

When it ends, I'm so exhausted that I'm almost relieved.

We look at each other with Lola and we have no right to be disappointed, we gave everything, we are exhausted and we will be able to rest.

But if I had to look for him two more hours, I would have looked for him.

In the previous episode, we see you crack because you did not win an individual event.

Does it still weigh on you that much today?

If I start to cry like that, like a kid who hasn't had his candy, it's because it weighed on me.

Today, I no longer cry but I am still frustrated.

When I returned from

Koh-Lanta

, without telling the results to my relatives, I told them that they were going to be disappointed.

At no time do I tell myself that my victory is having done 39 days anyway.

Looking back, I saw it better but when I got home I told my relatives that they were going to be disappointed because I had not lived up to their expectations.

Finally, they told me that I lied to them because I exist differently, by my personality or by the things that I could have done.

I went far, it's good all the same but hey, it's not phew what… I have put things into perspective since then but I am still very frustrated.

When we say that you are the "man almost" of

Koh-Lanta

since you have almost passed a whole bunch of tests, what do you think?

That's it, I am the Poulidor of the “4 Terres” (

laughs

).

It started well with the Oranges, I was really a leader in the events, that's what I came for.

Among the Yellows, I was there too.

It all made sense because I was normally the best.

When I get to reunification, I have this leader label and I don't want to disappoint.

But behind, a lot of lack of success, of lucidity, too much fatigue.

I suffered a lot physically, I was weaker than Loïc for example.

Once again, until the end, I almost passed orientation.

It's still frustrating.

You have only had two votes against you throughout the season.

Did you feel unsafe before the counseling?

What really scared me were the necklaces.

I have become "colliophobic".

I saw Diane come out on a necklace from nowhere.

Behind, I saw Mathieu come out on a necklace coming out of nowhere.

It's too violent, these are people who are not in danger and there is only one person who decides.

At each tip, I was pretty serene on paper but still had that fear.

I had relatively good faith in those around me and had formed very strong relationships with quite a few people and it would have surprised me if they put me upside down.

You are an SNCF controller so you do a job exposed to the public.

How do you deal with your new celebrity?

It's going really well, I'm lucky to have an image that appeals to people even if I can't explain it.

On the train, people recognize me, they are too happy to see me.

There are some who look at me with big eyes, they become shy and don't even dare to ask for a photo.

But there just needs to be one who dares and the whole car asks for a photo (

laughs

).

It's very cool and I'm very happy to be able to represent the SNCF and the controllers, who are said to be just rough and bad guys while there are also humans behind the uniform.

If you were asked to participate in an “all-star” season, would you leave?

I would almost say yes (

laughs

).

It all depends on the context, since I'm going to be a dad, I don't know how everything will turn out.

I am developing my coaching activity, there are a lot of things that are being put in place.

I had an incredible story with

Koh-Lanta

and I'm so happy.

But I have a little frustration and if I have the opportunity to go back there to take my revenge and finally lift this individual totem pole, I would think a lot about the proposal.
