Having been one of the favorites of Koh-Lanta spectators does not necessarily enrich a CV. This is the cruel observation made by Ricky, candidate for “immunity hunters”, the 2024 edition of the famous game show.
In a video posted on his Instagram account, the 22-year-old adventurer reveals that he lost his job due to his participation in the show, reports Ozap.
Thrwarted ambitions
Education assistant in a college, this accomplished sportsman planned to become a PE teacher… But his exploits in the game produced by Adventure Line Productions have, it seems, sounded the death knell for his ambitions.
To the question “your job was not renewed because you did Koh-Lanta?” », he responds in his video: “Yes, but thank you because I am happy with what is happening to me today”. We also see him participating in several events, sometimes in the company of other ex-candidates.
” A bad for a good “
“Supposedly, I would not be able to combine television and professionalism,” he comments in the caption. Before specifying that “it is ultimately a blessing in disguise because in bad things there are always good things”. Responding to a follower’s comment, this young man with a black belt in karate finally clarified that his employers did not renew his contract “because, supposedly, doing TV cannot fit with the fact to work in an establishment with young teenagers”.
Our “Koh-Lanta” file
However, Ozap reminds that it is not uncommon for participation in a game such as Koh-Lanta to disrupt the professional prospects of its participants. We have already seen candidates become TV hosts, influencers, comedians or even appear in other reality TV programs.
