"he was terrible" : Bulimia crisis, insomnia… Colin talks about his ordeal after being eliminated from Koh-Lanta

Did some aspects of the game surprise you compared to what you thought you knew about Koh-Lanta?

Colin: Yes, I thought social relationships would be disrupted by alliances and strategies, and I was very surprised that I was able to meet really nice people, extraordinary people and make great friendships.

In this episode we explore a more manipulative Colin…

Inevitably, because we are entering a phase of the game where strategy takes up more space. The Yellows also eliminated my ally Alexandra, just to break our three terms with Olga, whereas we’ve been voting on merit from the start.

How did you meet your role as the ambassador of yellows?

Regardless, it’s a huge responsibility that gets him in trouble for the rest of the game. Even if I managed to startle Louana, there was a good chance that her team wanted to take revenge on me… It’s a complicated situation. role, but I basically took it as good news because I held my destiny in my hands (laughs).

How did you approach the ambassadors exam?

We met with Sarılar without knowing whose name it was, and everyone said that if his name was given, they would go to the draw. I was confused but said nothing because if I hadn’t been elected ambassador it would have been the perfect excuse for others to remove me later on. Frankly, it was impossible for me to go to the black ball, especially since I inherited the cursed totem curse, but I really trusted my powers of persuasion.

You really are bluffing until the last second…

(Laughs) I made so many arguments that I almost convinced myself to enter the lottery! When Denis came, I really didn’t know what to do. In the end it was the curse that scalded me. Besides, I don’t know if Louana would really dare to throw the black ball. It’s always great to have this friendly image in front of your tribe or an audience…

Were you afraid of the judgment of your teammates when the envoys returned?

Not really, I took my responsibilities. I knew it would be hard for Setha because it’s not nice to go out like that but she’s not someone I’m very close to. What upset me the most was seeing disappointment in my friends like Bastien.

Have you been able to bury the Setha ax since the end of the show?

We’ve had zero purchases on the spot… and almost none when we got back to France. I’m not the one to hate. But I totally understand your feelings.

In what mood do you approach the consultancy, which is powered by the agreement you made with Louana and the reds?

I never believed that the Reds would keep their promise to save Olga and me during the four councils. I knew it would explode. But at the post-embassy council, I considered at least staying calm. Elimination destroyed me, I resented them. But since then everything went well, I get along very well with the adventurers I see regularly.

How was your return to France?

I had a negative feeling long after I returned. I was hoping to go further in the game. I was very impressed with my qualifying, it was very difficult to progress and have a positive image of my career. I couldn’t sleep for months, I even had bouts of bulimia, it was terrible… My perspective on myself has changed since the program aired. It also made me remember the incredible and positive moments of this experience.
