“Koh-Lanta”: how the production discovered that Teheiura had fed in secret – LCI

It is unheard of in the history of “Koh-Lanta”. Teheiura, one of TF1’s iconic adventure game candidates, was eliminated Tuesday night after breaking the rules. On two occasions, it fed on it with the help of local fishermen. But how does this fault “irreparable” by her own admission, was it discovered?

“There were rustles, hidden conversations of adventurers, on the reunified camp which alerted us. Sound engineers’ poles pick up distant sounds“, tells LCI a member of the production.”It was these rustling of papayas that Teheiura did not share that triggered the investigation, among the adventurers and the local population. They allowed us to discover that there had been at least one delivery of food to the camp, in the middle of the night.“

Tuesday evening, when Denis Brogniart comes to speak with Teheiura on the island of the banished, he has already explained himself with the Koh-Lanta team. “He immediately recognized the facts“, emphasizes the production.”He told us that he lived very badly to have this weight on his conscience. He therefore knew that we were investigating and that he expected a sanction, without knowing which one, before Denis arrived.. “

Was Teheiura’s exclusion inevitable? “We had discussions with the producer on site, Alexia Laroche-Joubert (the general manager of ALP Productions – editor’s note), TF1 and Denis“, emphasizes the production.”We all agreed that he had had an absence, a moment of bewilderment. But he organized a cheating that could have been prolonged and would have given him a real advantage over the other adventurers.. “

In a statement released Tuesday evening, Teheiura extensively reconsidered his gesture. “During the adventure, I received several times, sometimes in the tone of humor, sometimes not – requests from adventurers to go and ask Polynesians for food.“, he writes.”It was not easy, but I always refused. “

“One morning, I saw a person. I hesitated for a long time, and then finally, torn by hunger, I couldn’t resist, the temptation was too strong “, says the candidate. “I gestured to her, she put down some food. I didn’t want to keep it to myself, so I shared it. “According to our colleagues from Parisian, it is with Claude and Sam that Teheiura shared this food. Contacted this Tuesday by LCI, the production refuses to confirm these names.
