TF1 broadcast this Friday the seventh episode of
Koh-Lanta: The secret weapons
.
During this evening, the immunity test was eliminatory and Mathieu could not beat his friend Thomas in the final duel.
“It's a tragic ending, but it's a magnificent ending.
No one has ever voted against me, ”he prides himself in his interview with
20 Minutes.
From the first minutes of this
Koh-Lanta season
, we suspected that Mathieu would be an important character.
The one who said he was "very impulsive and very angry" marked the launch of the
Secret Weapons
because of his strong character, but he showed another face, more serene, thereafter.
It is therefore without hatred that he confides in his adventure, he who had to leave the game after his defeat in the immunity test.
He starts competing with his head held high, and that's the most important thing to him.
You are the first to get the immunity test, so you know you're going to get a penalty.
Are you already scared at this time?
Already, when I arrive at the event, I know there is going to be a problem. The static trials were clearly my Achilles heel and I knew it was going to play out between me, Thomas and Arnaud. In the end, it's me who falls first. I know I'm going to have a disadvantage. Jonathan wins, and when Denis tells him he has to choose who I'm going to face in a duel, before Jonathan opens his mouth, I knew he was going to choose Thomas. It was not lacking. I knew because I would have done exactly the same. That's why I didn't even hold it against him and even he didn't even take pleasure in making that choice, but it was the one that suited the best. Afterwards, it's war, it's like that. In my head, the reds are my enemies. I wouldn't have had any mercy either so he was right, he played well.If I have to take it out on anyone, it's up to myself, I just had to hold out longer and basta.
What symbol does it represent for you not to have seen your torch go out?
Without being haughty, I leave a bit like a prince, I write my own ending.
I destroyed myself on my own and I couldn't have asked for better.
It's paradoxical because we can't say we're happy to leave
Koh-Lanta,
but for me, it was the best end.
This is not a trivial ending, I am not a trivial person.
It's a tragic ending, but it's a magnificent ending.
No one has ever voted against me.
Even after, my name was never put.
It means that among the Yellows, I think I was loved, and that among my opponents, I was respected too.
So this is your greatest pride ...
From the start, I announced the color in the first episode.
I was myself from the start to the end of my adventure.
I was appreciated for my qualities and also for my faults.
Frankly, it's a huge source of pride.
I did not cheat at any time, I was myself.
I can only have won
Koh-Lanta
because I came out of it grown up, it's all good for me.
If you go out on a board, it happens but it's a trivial ending.
There's nothing glorious about coming out on your own, eh, but it's a great ending.
From the first episode, you made a strong impression with your big mouth.
But it seems that this image has calmed down over time ...
You are absolutely right, but it was not even voluntary on my part.
We see that I get angry in the first three episodes.
And in fact, the change is made from the moment Myriam comes to speak to me.
I begin to understand that I have to listen, that I put water in my wine.
As my adventure progresses, we see my evolution in the right direction: we see that I get less annoyed, that I don't get messed up that much ... I didn't want to look for shit and to get on my nerves.
The more it went, the more I understood that it was useless to get upset because we lost but that we had to encourage people.
Thomas and Shanice refer to you as a brother.
How do you explain it?
Myself, when I looked at
Koh-Lanta
, I told myself that they were forcing people to cry for people they had only known for two weeks.
But the thing is, days on
Koh-Lanta
seem years.
You know things about people that you will never know with those you meet every day.
The feelings on
Koh-Lanta
are tenfold and I was the first to be surprised.
For me, we were a family.
We endured so many galleys without the fire for eleven days, the mud, the cabin… We tightened our ties in the real galley.
We see that you form a very hard core with Shanice, Myriam and Thomas.
Did it form in the early days?
It was formed a bit like that because my starting partner was Shanice.
And Miriam's partner was Thomas.
Me, with Thomas, it immediately matched, and Shanice and Myriam immediately matched.
But we weren't a quartet like the others said.
It was mainly to show off the yellows.
But there was also Vincent, Flavio, Aurélien before he left.
There were not only four of us.
But since we were two pairs and we all got along very well, I think it could have been scary but there were never four strategies.
In your minds, were you sure you were going to orientation together?
What I said to myself was: we are coming to reunification together, we are outnumbered.
We blow red after red and once there are only Yellows left, we will do with affect.
If I was going to vote against a yellow, I would have told him why.
This is how I wanted the adventure to go.
When you leave, Denis Brogniart asks you if you have become a man.
Did you count on the show for that?
I didn't wait for
Koh-Lanta
to be a man.
Basically, I wanted to go to
Koh-Lanta
to hurt myself, to get in the way.
So I succeeded.
And by the way, I improved in a good way and found that peace.
It is paradoxical because I have lived through hell.
But it was there that I experienced inner peace anyway.
At the time of reunification, we see that you want to welcome the Yellows with mortars.
Didn't you believe in the white tribe at all?
Oh no.
But anyway, I could have stayed until Saint-Glinglin, I would never have been white.
For me it was war.
It was the yellows against the reds.
I respect my opponents but that's how I am yellow to death.
