Laure is one of the two candidates eliminated on Friday evening, during the orientation test.
Farmers have only one regret: abandoning their friend Maxine for the ultimate pole test.
For
20 Minutes
, she
looks
back on her adventure.
The adventure stops there for Laure.
After having shone in several events, and having admirably known how to lead her boat on the stormy river of strategy, the farmer of Doubs has found her animals.
For
20 Minutes
, she
looks
back on the orientation test but also on her friendship with Maxine and the misunderstandings with other candidates.
Did you feel like you missed out on this ordeal which is costing you your place in the game?
Orientation is the most difficult and intense test in
Koh-Lanta
.
I knew it.
But the rule of the game is simple, you have to find a knife.
I had not specially prepared at the strategic level.
With Maxine we simply told ourselves that we wouldn't be looking in the same area.
Some opted for a more wait-and-see strategy and watched the discoveries of others.
Yes, so much the better for those who found the knife.
They won, I have no complaints about that.
It's the game, we're here to play.
The rest, we do not care.
Really ?
Are you not disappointed?
If, of course, I am disappointed, at the time and even today.
But I don't allow myself to complain because I still went to the end of what I could do, and because there are thousands of people who would have liked to be in my place.
I gave my all in this ordeal, as in every ordeal.
I went to the end of my strength, I was not discouraged, but I lost.
It's like that.
Did Maxine's victory soften your defeat?
Yeah, in a way, but what we really wanted was to both win.
Our fear was that one of us would be eliminated and the other not.
We wanted to go far in the game, but together.
When I'm eliminated, I know it's a very hard blow for Maxine, and it makes me sad.
You explained that after the end of the shoot, you remained very friends with Maxine, that you wrote to each other every day.
What happened between you?
This story of fusional friendship is incredible ...
There are no words to say what's between Maxine and me.
Me in any case I do not have the words.
I didn't expect to make a friend like that at all.
It was an incredible strength to have a shoulder to lean on.
We were never alone.
In
Koh-Lanta
, I knew I was going to meet people but… No, I can't put into words what we experienced.
How do you feel seeing this story every week on TV?
When you watch the shows, there are all the emotions that come back suddenly.
We relive our adventure thoroughly, it's incredible ... So yes, I had turned the page a little, I had taken it all in, but every week, everything comes back to me.
What also comes are the sometimes hostile reactions of Internet users.
Were you prepared for this?
More or less.
The other years I followed the candidates' accounts so I knew there were sometimes violent reactions.
But we can't really imagine how we will live it until we are concerned.
For the episode of Candice's departure, the production had warned us that we were going to take it all in the head ...
Would you say that there were sometimes misunderstandings about your decisions, your strategies in the game?
In
Koh-Lanta
, sometimes you make decisions with your heart, sometimes you play by strategy.
This is the game, it is like that.
Are you dreading the reunion next Friday, for the live broadcast?
No, I'm happy to see the adventurers again.
I think it's going to be a good time to calm things down, to explain to people the why's and the how's.
In Magali for example?
Yes.
I think she didn't fully understand what happened, I think she needs me to explain it to her.
Do you have any regrets about this adventure?
None, if I had to do it again I would do everything the same.
My goal, I achieved it.
