Since the start of the

Koh-Lanta season

, we were in the wrong.

We who thought that the collar of immunity could guarantee to the candidate or the candidate who held it to save his place one more week… In reality, it was not so because of the secret weapons.

The fans of the TF1 show learned this Friday evening with the elimination of Vincent and Laëtitia, both protected until Lucie unsheathed her black bracelet.

"I was far from imagining that a weapon could be so powerful", reacts the one who was the darling of the public until now in his interview with 

20 Minutes

.

Can we talk about "emotional lift" to summarize what happened to you during this ninth episode?

Completely!

Because already, I am learning that I am in pairs with Laëtitia, so there, I tell myself that we will have to redouble our efforts even if it went really well, that I love it and that I do not regret not my partner at all.

I really rediscovered it.

That is the first feeling.

Then, I learn that we have an immunity collar so I tell myself that we are invincible, that I have a boulevard in front of me to go to orientation so it's perfect.

And then there is this famous black bracelet, it is indeed an emotional lift because I feel completely lost and surprised, and I understand that it leads to my exit.

By participating in a season called "The Secret Weapons", did you expect this type of twist?

I was far from imagining that a weapon could be so powerful.

It was surprising, really, because we are used to saying that in

Koh-Lanta

, an immunity collar protects you, that nothing is stronger.

Well no…

When you leave, you may not realize it but you say several times "thank you, thank you all" ...

Oooh, shit! Oh the con! But that's it, I do not realize it at all, I am so upset and under the influence of the emotion… It is not a “thank you” of elimination but rather a “thank you” of to have lived this adventure so strong with me. Beyond the game, these are such strong emotions that I thank each of the adventurers for having been able to live this with me because I will never forget this experience. I'm getting eliminated but it's not the end of the world either. What I remember are my 27 days of adventure which have all been fabulous. There is not one that I hated despite the rain, the lack of comfort, the fatigue. I don't hate those days, it brought me back to earth and to the true values ​​of life. I may have said "thank you" too much but I was confused at the time. We are tired,you can't take it anymore and you can lose your mind very quickly. At that point, maybe I lost her saying "thank you" ten times.

Would you have liked to form a different pair during the linked destinies?

I don't regret our pair at all, it was so strong what we experienced, she and I, we laughed so much, we took so much pleasure in playing with each other.

These are moments that I will never forget.

Being with Laëtitia and playing with others with her was a joy.

I lived things to the full, I enjoyed the adventure to the fullest and I have no regrets because I had so much, so much pleasure that it soothes me in my outing.

Do you understand why all the ballots were against you, even though it was thanks to your vote against Shanice that the yellow quartet was destroyed?

Yes I understand.

There was a red in each pair except mine.

Obviously, they targeted mine because it was easier to do, especially since Thomas had said he would vote against me, it was a trigger movement to invite others to vote against me.

I don't blame anyone, I think it was complicated for everyone.

I don't think people hated me, I don't see it that way, you just had to make a choice.

In her interview with

20 Minutes

, Laëtitia confided that Thomas' pikes in his quest for revenge were heavy.

Did you experience it the same way?

Oh no, not at all !

It was completely over me.

To tell you the truth, I didn't care.

He was trying to do everything to make it reach me but I was there, "okay, do your life".

I even found it a shame to spend so much energy trying to annoy us when it didn't work at all.

I found that ridiculous.

It's been six months since the shooting ended but it seems that there is a breakdown in the dialogue between Thomas, Mathieu, Myriam and you.

Does that mean the pill still hasn't gone through?

[He explodes with laughter] Frankly, I don't know if she will ever pass but I think we relive all the emotions, we relive the adventure so much so it may be a bit complicated.

Now, with Shanice, it's a cordial relationship.

With the other three, it's a little more complicated but we'll see if it will pass or not.

I don't know, it's them and their feelings and there's nothing I can do about it.

In this episode, you talk about your parents.

Finally, the first thing you did when you got home was to tell them "I love you"?

When I got home, I hugged them.

I cannot put words on this adventure, it was so strong and intense.

I will never forget everything I have been through.

Whether I win or lose, in real life, I don't care so much that I will never be stolen from me and it has such an overpowering value in me.

This is the first thing I did, was to tell my parents how much I felt on the island.

I felt like I needed it and now was the time for me.

To see the reactions on social networks, your comments in English are all the salt this season.

Did you think it would make you react so much?

I think I don't realize it, I find it hard to take a step back because everything is ultra-sudden.

I do not realize the scope of my words and what that can entail.

I arrived in this adventure by aiming only for the posts.

I'm not going to lie, I was there to win.

You shouldn't blame me for saying that.

I don't want people to take what I'm saying wrong, but I wasn't thinking of anything other than that.

I wanted to move forward, be proud of myself and show what I was capable of with my history and what I was able to experience.

For me, it had a real symbolism to do

Koh-Lanta

.

Everything did not go as planned but I have no regrets about what I did, I fully lived my adventure, I did not endure it.

I left proud.
