    Koh-Lanta: The legend

    , in the words of Denis Brogniart.

  • At the end of the show, the host did not count the ballots because of the various cheating cases that have rocked the program in recent weeks.

  • Asked by

    20 Minutes

    , the fans did not appreciate the conclusion of this season celebrating the twenty years of the game.

It was 11:38 p.m. when TF1 viewers learned Tuesday evening that no

Koh-Lanta

adventurer

would be declared the winner of

The Legend

.

After a booming launch, fifteen weeks of broadcasting and records broken on the events, none of the finalists left with the check for 100,000 euros, the fault of various accusations of cheating.

“I'm pretty annoyed about all this, rebelled Alexia Laroche-Joubert, the producer of the show, at the microphone of Sud Radio this morning.

There is a bunch of dishonest people out there who broke the code of honor.

Yet they know him perfectly well.

It is not people who discover the program.

I blame them.

“A feeling that a lot of people obviously share.

For some, Claude should have won

It was a long evening for many curious people who already knew the outcome of the final.

A few hours before Denis Brogniart took the air,

Le Parisien

revealed that there would be no counting of the ballots, information relayed by many media including

20 Minutes

.

However, part of the public did not wish to keep abreast of the cheating facts that have punctuated the broadcast in recent weeks.

“I'm on this show and haven't read anything about cheating. Claude should have been the winner. A waste ”, testifies Marie-Ange. Valérie did not read the press articles either. “Claude is the winner for me. It's a legend. Just for his various participations, he deserves his victory. Not stolen! She exclaims.

“I have the impression that we stole the victory from Claude, judge Marine.

It's up to the production to watch the candidates and I think the media have made a mountain out of unimportant facts.

"An opinion also shared by Cristelle:" the show gave in to media pressure from journalists and unscrupulous people.

I hope they can at least recognize Claude as the only legend of

Koh-Lanta

.

A common point therefore seems to emerge for those who did not follow the twists and turns in the various cheating cases: Claude deserved his victory.

Ugo declared winner by K.-O.

technical?

In front of her post since the beginning of the evening, Sylvie's eyelids have grown heavier over the premium. “It was simply necessary not to be part of the show in Paris and that Denis speak by explaining that following the cheating, there would be no finalist. We were made to struggle for 1h30, ”she breathes. At the end of this interminable waiting time for some, a good number of fans would have preferred to hear Denis Brogniart declare Ugo the winner, despite his fall from the posts.

"We all have a certain admiration for him," says Anthony, who praises "his simplicity, his combativeness and his incredible adventure.

Nicknamed "the phoenix" this season, it would have been impossible to grant him the title of winner since apart from Teheiura, no one has admitted to being part of a cheating system.

"If Ugo is not one of the cheaters, it is really him who deserves to win", believes Mireille.

"Cheating was the last straw"

Yesterday evening, during our live of the final, we asked Internet users if the show was going to be able to recover from this story. The majority said it would, but only 53%. "This case spoiled the 20 years of

Koh-Lanta

 ", laments Florian. According to our reader, "TF1 missed its opportunity to give what viewers were waiting for, namely transparency on this affair". By giving only two minutes to the explanations, he believes that the chance was not given to the candidates suspected to speak.

Mathieu's pleasure was also spoiled long before these new revelations, in particular because of the "oversized egos of certain candidates", especially since he found them "very sympathetic and deserving at first glance". Ultimately, “cheating was the last straw. “Among the testimonies collected by

20 Minutes

, all agree, however, that the decision to donate the earnings to the Fund for Bertrand-Kamal is a wise decision. “The association needs this money much more than the finalists. Morality is safe, let's move on, ”concludes Marie-Hélène.

There are those who think that these cases have tarnished the image of

Koh-Lanta

and there are the others, sometimes loyal for twenty years, who will always continue to watch one of their favorite programs.

Finally, at the top of the basket, there are even some who allow themselves to send a little advice to the production, like Denis who would put “a GPS bracelet” on the wrist of the candidates.

It would cost more in electronics but the guards could fall asleep with peace of mind.
