• 20 Minutes

   rewinds the film and looks back at the voluntary departures that have punctuated the history of the game.

Impossible for him to reconsider his decision.

This Tuesday, Franck made the choice to leave

.

Not feeling in top form, the one who ended up with a paralyzed mouth in the first episode sparked the anger of his comrades since, for a few years, voluntary abandonments have no longer been replaced in the TF1 game.

Hey, by the way, how did things go in the past?

Before Franck, twelve other participants decided to throw in the towel.

Back to the case of each of them.

Candice in

Koh-Lanta: Bocas del Toro

(2003)

What if

was harder in his younger years?

Or was it because the candidates weren't really prepared?

Still, the third season of the game ended badly for six adventurers who withdrew.

Most of them were evacuations due to injuries or medical concerns.

But not for Candice who gave up in the middle of a comfort test that lasted… 24 hours.

No, it wasn't funny at the time.

"Psychologically, I'm not strong enough," she explained, crying.

Ali and Adrien in

Koh-Lanta: Palawan

(2007)

On the fifth day of

, Ali summons his comrades from the red tribe to tell them sad news.

“I don't want to stay for the rest of the adventure.

I miss my family ".

His buddies in misfortune try to hold him back as best they can but the candidate affirms that his “head is elsewhere”.

At the time, the candidates were replaced.

Pascale, eliminated during the previous council of the opposing team, then takes her place.

As we know, the twists and turns are numerous in the game of TF1.

The seventh season was no exception to the rule since on the 28th day, Adrien also threw in the towel.

Before the comfort test begins, Adrien asks for an intervention.

“After last night's council meeting and Grégoire's departure, I found this elimination unfair.

Having myself no longer any prospect of victory, I would like to set off again and leave my place to Grégoire”, announces the adventurer.

Denis Brogniart accepts his decision and the previous eliminated therefore returns to try his luck again.

Grégoire will be eliminated two days later.

Valérie in

Koh-Lanta: Caramoan

(2008)

At the end of the fourth day, Valérie's morale is at its lowest.

Not a lot of cassava, only a few coconuts, hunger takes over.

Exhausted, the candidate cracks nervously and has the impression of no longer controlling anything.

She ends up listening to her body and tells her companions that she is "beginning to fall physically into ruins" and that she does not want to be a handicap during the tests.

Irya, eliminated on the third day, returns to the yellows.

Kaouther in

Koh-Lanta: Palau

(2009)

During the first season of the genius Freddy, nothing goes as planned with the Mawaï who suffer eight consecutive defeats.

It is at the end of the fifth episode, during the council, that Kaouther makes a radical decision.

“I quit tonight.

It's not the

I had dreamed of, ”she says in front of Denis Brogniart.

She recovers her torch even though she was immune for this turn.

The general misunderstanding of the camp will have got the better of his motivation.

Jennifer in

Koh-Lanta: Vietnam

(2010)

The sixth episode of

starts with a twist.

On the red island, Jennifer sees life in black and decides to pack her bag.

“I prefer to leave with my head held high rather than waiting for elimination,” she says facing the camera.

In front of her comrades, she explains that she is "at the fed up stage".

The words of his colleagues will not change anything, not even those of Claude, faithful to himself from his first season.

"Sometimes, we don't do what we want for ourselves at all, we do it especially for others," he says before calling her selfish.

Steve and Naouel in

Koh-Lanta: Raja Ampat

(2011)

Another season in which there are two voluntary departures.

The first is Steve's.

After eight days of survival, the adventurer cannot overcome the lack of his one-year-old son.

Realizing that he is not "as strong as he thought", Steve calls on Denis Brogniart and leaves with him, heading for France.

From this season, the departures are no longer replaced.

In the next episode, it's Naouel's turn to forfeit.

“I vomit it, this island”, she complains, speaking of “one of the most difficult periods of [her] life”.

His decision brings tears to his companions in misfortune who therefore lose another member of their team, just after Steve's abandonment.

His difficulties related to "hunger, rain and hardship" have obviously been underestimated.

Manon in

Koh-Lanta: Johor

(2015)

A voluntary departure motivated by a medical disappointment.

Arriving at the place of the comfort test, Manon feels unwell and collapses on the sand.

Obviously, she does not dispute the game and is placed under observation.

The next day, when she is declared fit to resume the course of her adventure, Manon prefers to abdicate, not feeling fit enough.

She then writes a letter that her team receives in a bottle.

Manon indicates leaving the game “with regret but the intimate conviction of having made it to the end.

»

Charlie and Marius in

Koh-Lanta: Thailand

(2016)

This is perhaps the most controversial abandonment.

After 48 hours on the island, Charlie quits the adventure due to severe migraines.

The candidate will explain that she needed a specific treatment that the production was unable to provide.

It is therefore a medical abandonment that the images have passed off as voluntary abandonment: in the episode, Denis Brogniart explains that his departure was not imposed by the doctor.

Disputing the facts, Charlie decides to boycott the season finale.

Second episode, second start.

After Charlie, the youngest of the competition Marius also throws in the towel.

"I'm destroying a childhood dream, I know that.

But I no longer want to win

.

I take no pleasure in being there, I have to leave,” he explains.

He who had come looking for a real adventure felt suffocated by the cameras and the security devices.

Brahma in

Koh-Lanta: Cambodia

(2017)

During the edition toured in Cambodia, the start of the comfort test was again the scene of a rebound.

Among the Blues, Brahma decides “to apply [his] right of abandonment”.

Despite the comforting words of his opponents, nothing helps.

He leaves with a small spade signed Denis Brogniart: "I think that, like all those who gave up before you in

, you will regret it".

His sentence was irrevocable.
